"Hey, wake-up ya lazy ass."
Drake groans and said, "Five more minutes."
.....
.....
"WAKE UP!"
Drake got up and groan. "So annoying." Drake got out of his sleeping bag and saw Lester standing in front of him scowling. "Lupin said that we have to pack up and to find a town to register at an adventurer guild and then we leave for the Lunar Kingdom."
"All right."
Drake rolled up his sleeping bag and put all of his belonging into his knapsack and filled his quiver with arrows and put it on his back while carrying his bow.
When Drake met with the rest of the group, Basil was eating some berries and bugs they found, Lester was trying to learn how to read and write, and Lupin was creating something from woods and metal scraps they found from one of the Bronach Kingdom's junkyards.
Lupin looks up and puts away his unfinished invention into his backpack. "So, we're all ready!" Lupin said while smiling.
"""We're ready."""
"Alright, let's go."
*2 Hour Later*
"Are we lost?" Basil asked.
"No, we're not lost, Basil." Lupin denied.
"Then where the hell are we then eh, Lupin ?" Lester demanded.
Lupin stopped and said, "Well, we're at um, um, um...I don't know."
"So, we're lost," Lester said. "Great, we're gonna run out of food and then get eaten by some scary monster like dragons!" Lester said.
"Relax, I'm sure we can take care of anything that comes our way."
"We're fucking bronze rank! We're barely any stronger than common thugs!"
"We may be bronze rank but we got teamwork and with teamwork I'm su...." Lupin trailed off looking alarmed. He sniffed the air before pulling out his longsword. "Something coming our way." He said.

The rest immediately became alarmed and pull out their weapons.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
Drake nocks an arrow.
Basil wields his warhammer smiling nervously.
Lester wields his daggers tense.
Sweats roll down Lupin's forehead.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
What face the four was a creature that was giant, gray, and ugly. Its skin looks like stone with moss growing, its nails were yellow and chipped. It wielded a giant club and it wore a loincloth.
"It's a fucking troll!" Lester yelled.
"RRROOOAAAARRR!!!"
The troll roared as he swings his club down. The troll missed as the four mercenaries managed to dodge.
"Troll is known to prefer human's meats over other races," Drake said as he let loose an arrow that hit but did nothing to troll.
"We don't need to know that," Lester growled as he loaded another arrow on his crossbow.
"Die!" Yelled Lupin as he swung his blade down on the troll's chest, leaving a shallow cut which slowly heals as Lupin jump back, dodging the troll's club.
"I'm alright."
"Troll have regeneration."
"That we can see," Lester muttered.
"AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!"
Basil yelled as he charged, holding his warhammer up ready to swing it down only to smacked away by the troll, slamming into a tree.
"Hey Drake, how do you kill a troll?" Lupin asked as he dodged
"Decapitation, fire and acid."
"Hey Lupin, you hear that!"
"Yeah, I hear that."
Lupin replied.
"Hey Basil, try and hold the troll down, and Drake, Lester shoot him in the eyes!"
"""On it."""
Arrows were raining towards the troll's eyes, several missing and hitting the troll's chest, arms, and legs annoying it, and the rest hitting its eyes making it howl in pain.
"WWWAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!"
As the troll howl in pain Basil slammed it into the ground by hitting its back with all of his strength, the troll struggle, and Basil yell, "Hey Lupin! Hurry up! I can't hold it down for long!"

Lupin ran towards the troll and swing his sword down, but didn't decapitate it. "Oh come on!!" Lupin complained.
As the rest watch, Lupin held up his sword and swing it down again and again, but he couldn't cut off the troll's head since its regeneration helps it heal the wounds slowly but annoying for Lupin.
"Just die already!"
*30 minutes later*
"JUST DIE!"
Lupin yelled as he swings his sword down cutting the troll's head off, and finally ending the troll's misery.
Lupin fell to the ground exhausted.
"That took long enough."
"Fuck you."
Lupin glared at Lester as he breathes heavily.
"Anyways, as you were trying to cut the troll's head, Drake and I found a road that we could use to find a town."
Lupin stand up smiling and said, "So, let's go!"
Lester nodded and said, "Follow me."
Lester led Lupin to a road where's Drake and Basil were at.
Drake point to the only sign on the road said, Riverwood, pointing north.
Lupin saw where Drake was pointing and faced Lester and said, "What time is it?"
Lester pulled his flip phone flipping it open, power it up, and said, "3:30."
Lupin nodded and said, "We still got time so let's go."
The four walk down the road where the sign was pointing as the occasional cars passed them.

The most devastating thing to an eternal being must be boredom. If nothing can change you, how can you yourself change? Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way. I should point out that there are multiple lead characters and they will all have their own personalities and motivations. While the story will focus more on our MC Trey, you can expect multiple POV switches. If you do not like POV switches, this might not be for you. My first book. If anyone will ever read this, be so kind as to leave a comment. Even, if all you say is an insult. As long as I can improve this work by your comment, it's all fine. One thing’s for sure. I will keep writing as if my reader can handle curse words without curling into a little ball and repeatedly saying: "Leave my safe-space alone, you monster". Therefore, you can expect some profanity.
