Chapter - 2

"You lose, Levi Furiman." A viscious, wicked voices made by an unknown being coming from out of knowhere.

"The contract you made from us had failed to complete."

"In other words, the consequences of losing it had come to pay its price."

With a brink of dead in an unknown dungeon, Levi Furiman lost to a fight against one of the guardian knights of the 8 Legendary Dragon Nest.

Even though the Balancer of Race granted him a temporary Awakening powes with a possessor of Jewish-Enochian Race. Levi still couldn't able to fight toe-to-toe against the might and powers of the Guardian knight due to his inexperience of fighting the enemies and lack of determination on winning, it leads him to taste the bitterness of losing.

However, the Balancer of Race managed to give Levi Furiman a second chance by reviving him back to his life, yet sended him to a world where everyone he saw was new to his eyes.

The Balancer of Race itself granted him a special Awakening eyes, far immesurable than anyone could imagine.

{If this boy trains even harder and able to surpass his limits... he will definitely able to defeat us!}

{Now then, I will send you to that world.. we will waiting for you anytime you wanted to do.}

...

*...Aaahhhh...*

A scream of fear made by Levi after he wakes up from suffering severe wounds on his recent solo dungeon raid.

"Dammit... It was just a nightmare..."

Levi felt restless and his mind went out blank as he never thought about his dream could be constantly appearing everytime he tried to sleep since the day he came in.

"That is why I never tried to sleep..."

Because of that, Levi couldn't managed to rest well as the nightmares he think was constantly appearing, due to the fact that those happenings are getting involved his former comrades who slowly dying into his stead one-by-one.

Knowing the fact that he was the only one alive in that incident, making him to felt guilt and dismayed against it.

"I need to get stronger as fast as I could.. in order to finish this pathetic contract and getting out of this pathetic worlds." A words of determination that flaming into the eyes of young and wild Levi Furiman, started to move itself even his body couldn't lay a single move at that moment.

*Creak*

/Bone cracking/

"Aaahhh... It hurts!!!" Levi screams in agony while trying to move his body recklessly.

Even though those cracks made on his body are similar to the stretching exercises in a daily workout. Levi Furiman on his instances are way more painful due to his exhausted body, wanted to rest a little longer.

Because of it, the blood on his wounds had started to flow again. Causing him felt restless once again.

He tried to patch up again, trying to hold the blood flowing to his body. Fortunately, he succeeds to close it.

*Knock* *knock*

"Come...In..." Levi couldn't even speak properly due to his pain he felt.

/Door open/

"Are you...Okay?.. I hear loud noise coming from this place..." A lady rushes in and asking to Levi with concern.

Levi on the other hand, suddenly stunned for a while as he saw a beautiful lady coming into his room like an angel sending him from heaven.

"Ye..yeah.. I'm.. Okay..." Levi responding it with a bit blushed on his face.

The lady felt relieved as she heard to him that he's alright. She started introducing herself afterwards.

"My name is Cassandra Smith, I'm 16 years-old. A double Awakening possessor and wielder of a Providence Race.. nice to meet you... How about you?..." She introduced it with elegance.

"My name... is Levi... Furiman, nice to mee--- ... wait, what?" Levi surprised to Cassandra as the way she introduced herself to him.

...

Pastor Ozril, along with the people who help Levi yesterday had finally arrived to the Willow Village, 15 minutes ago since they rode the carriage in the church.

Chatter, wonders and confusion. All sorts of theories and conspiracy regarding to the blood stains made by Levi Furiman's wounds had came along to their travel.

Out of their curiosity, most of them started to ask Pastor Ozril about it without shock and trembles on their body.

"What in the world is going on, Pastor Ozril? we couldn't believe that this elegant smell and fragrant are coming from these blood stains?"

"And not just that, it started spreading all the way on the outside!"

"How come could this happen, Pastor?"

Pastor Ozril on the other hand, tried to calm down those people as their ignorance and confusion started to rise on their minds. He started to explain one-by-one to it.

"Well, it started when I picked up That boy outside the dungeon, near the river... He's bathing with own blood and wounds on his body are staggering as what you guys saw that night... While are you people nonchalantly treating that boy's open wounds and blood on his weak, fragile body. I was on the back on the church cleaning the carriage and trying to remove the blood stains sticking out the cover cloth... It takes me some time to remove it, scrubing the cloth with strong pressure and forcing myself to use magic on it... Unfortunately, some of it completely removed but most of it as what you guys see today couldn't... The morning afterwards, I went back to the carriage to use it again this morning at the same time to see the blood stains if it were removed on their own... But that would made me more surprised as the elegant fragrant scent of those stains started to burst whenever I get near or getting inside the carriage like you guys did... Then I tried to stepped back thinking about the scent would reached me, but sadly it couldn't... That's what I know about those stains.. "

But then, everyone seemed flustered to Pastor Ozril as they still didn't convinced to his statement about those fragrant blood stains. They let it slide at the moment, thinking they started hallucinate for nothing.

They arrived at the village market, empty minded and perplexed feeling that made them restless for the rest of the day.

"Thank you for letting us ride to your carriage, Pastor Ozril.."

"That was time-saving ride Pastor, thank you very much..."

"We hope we get ride back to our houses, Pastor... hahahahahaha.."

And so, everyone left apart after they reached the center aisle of the village market.

.

/Murmurs from the stall vendors./

/Random voices coming from everywhere./

/Blacksmiths kept busy making weapons to their customers./

/Weapons placing to the merchants and blacksmith's stalls./

/Merchants advertising their product to the village people and outsiders./

As they reached to the center of the village market, Pastor Ozril who went to the wet market to buy meat and vegetables for their daily fasting until tomorrow, notice the crowd of people gathering into one place and started giving newspapers and quest reports about the village and towns current events for the past few weeks.

"Listen up people of Willow Village, these are the weekly reports coming from Prairie town as well as the newspapers in it... Hurry up! fall in line, everyone will have these..."

*Grab* *Grab*

/Townspeople started giving newspapers./

/Other townspeople started posting Quest papers and reports to the Villages bulletin board./

Pastor Ozril on the other hand, already done for his groceries and started to leave the busy Village market, couldn't handle his curiosity and went straight to where the ruckus had made.

He tied up his horse at the corner yard with his carriage, putting his groceries inside and using it with magic spell to hidden away from the common thieves, and rushes through the place as soon as he finished putting together.

Unfortunately, as he arrived to that place, Pastor Ozril felt distraught and regretted as the newspaper that townspeople giving to them had already sold out.

He left nothing but disappointed, knowing the fact that it will arrived to their village once in a week. As the result, he made himself attended and remembered for the day the townspeople arriving to them.

Suddenly, one of the townspeople noticed the disappointed and distraught Pastor Ozril started leaving the Village market regretfully. He went out to him as soon as he recognized it.

"Oh... are you the Priest assigning to this village?" A townspeople asking to Pastor Ozril with having a second-thought at him.

"Ye..Yes... I am.. How did you know that?" He replied it with slight discomfort to the townspeople.

"Because of your magic presence, and also that outfit you wear ..." A townspeople confirming his thoughts to him.

Pastor Ozril at that time, didn't wear his Priest uniform due to the fact that only sunday they allowed to wear and only a white long sleeve with a brown cotton gloves they wear for weekdays.

"By the way, my name is Misho, a member of the Adventurer Knights of Prairie town... I want to talk to you, Priest of Willow Village.." Misho introducing himself to Pastor Ozril with respect.

"So that explains it... hahahaha! ... My name is Ozril... what is it Mr. Misho?"

"I just want to give you some newspaper and quest report for this past week... You'd seem frustrated when you didn't receive it earlier, didn't you..."

"Hahaha! .. yeah, the time when I get back, it was too late for me get it... but I sincerely thanking you for this... you made your time and attention approaching on me for this mere piece of paper.."

"You're very welcome, Pastor Ozril... that was nothing..." Misho suddenly laugh while having his appreciation on him.

Suddenly, Misho's expression had changed drastically as the main reason for him to approached Pastor Ozril began serious and attentively.

Pastor Ozril on the other hand, already noticed the sudden changes of the atmosphere as the pressure coming from their conversation with Misho became intense.

"But I came here into your stead knowing that you are the only person living in this village that seemed reliable to talked to..." Misho began speaking to Pastor Ozril with a serious gesture.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Misho?... why am I the one reliable to tell about this?..." He replied it with having flustered and nervous

"I know you're not the only one believing the news that putting inside that pathetic piece of paper, aren't you?"

"What are you say--"

"Not all news they put was true... I heard some informative person regarding the recent incident in this area, far opposite to what the new telling us about..."

"About what Mr, Misho?..." Pastor Ozril asking it with cautious intent.

Misho on the other hand, began explaining to his thoughts to Pastor Ozril that made him terrified and acted restless.

"Few days ago, there was a dungeon break located 3 kilometers north-western part of Willow village occurred. Since then, tens of villagers started to relocate themselves away from the dungeon to secure their lives against the magic creatures and monsters anytime they start to havoc. "

"Yes, I heard that incident.. In fact, most of them are still here and couldn't managed to return back because they're scared of monsters roaming into their places ..."

"That's what they write about the news... aside from that, they tried to put things out good in order for the people to feel relieved and rest assured regarding on what they saw intially in that dungeon... But what actually happened was that According to some source, there was a being, far monsterous than the actual magic creatures residing in that dungeon... killing every single one of it, no sparing but rather annilihating it. I don't know what in the world is going on but.... We came here to investigate, to find out what kind of being that started attacking the dungeon..."

"I am not telling you to be fear about it, but rather a warning to be careful against it... " Misho concluded his thoughts to Pastor regarding to the dungeon break occurred few days ago.

However, Pastor Ozril already knew about the incident, but couldn't tell to anyone due to the fact that the consequences of revealing it had taken the impact of lives of every single individual in his village.

Especially to Levi Furiman whereas he saw drop dead outside the dungeon, thinking that he was 'That being' singlehandedly dealing with the dungeon break few days ago.

"I promise I won't tell anyone about this, until you found out the truth no matter the cost." A words of promise made by Pastor Ozril to Misho as he tried to ended up their conversation and started getting his leave immediately.

' I don't know what exactly happen... but one thing for sure to me... I will definitely protect that kid no matter the cost! ...' Pastor Ozril having his thoughts to Levi Furiman, that causing him to feel restless and uneasiness on him.
