《Scholar of sin》Chapter 2: White light
Advertisement
This time i do not wait for the troll to come to me and i immediately rush towards it as i release intense killing intent. Seemingly surprised troll pauses for a moment by reacts quickly by roaring and sending a punch my way, already knowing it would do that i slide under its fist and stop right next to its leg, taking advantage of its slow reflexes i lodge my spear into its knee and twists with all my strength until i hear a cracking noise followed by a anguished howl.
Not daring to stay near it for a single second longer i rip my spear out of its leg and jump away dodging a kick that was coming my way. Feeling powerful wind hit my face from force of its kick i become increasingly nervous knowing that a single hit would decide my destiny.
Putting more distance between two of us i retreat into the forest as quickly as i can and hide behind a slightly larger tree. Heaving a sigh of relief i relax for a moment but i don't let my guard down as i can hear ground rumble from its heavy steps that keep getting closer. Trying to be as quiet as possible i suppress my breath and wait, after few seconds passed rumblings stopped but that only alleviated my nervousness.
Each second seemed to last an hour as a minute or so passed before i finally sighed..which was followed by a roar and feeling of wind hitting my face. Knowing what was about to happen i slide down on my back and barely dodge a palm that blew the tree trunk apart. Jumping on my feet quickly i sprint deeper into forest with the troll following closely behind me.
Sparing a glance to the troll i noticed that it is limping on the left leg i stabbed earlier, using that to my advantage i run to the left side so it takes more time for troll to turn towards me. But even next to all that it was still slightly faster than me in pure running speed. feeling the troll coming closer and closer i once again feel wind hit my back, squeezing out all my strength i crouch and manage to dodge its attack.

Seeing that trolls head was right above me i position the spear above me and jump with all my strength managing to pierce its jaw all the way in its mouth. Knowing i gave it another critical wound i push the spear deeper inside in an attempt to pierce its brain.
Not excepting a counter attack i am suddenly slapped aside by its hand which sent me flying several meters into a nearby tree. Feeling my mind cloud over i look towards the troll with a desperate feeling inside me, not paying attention to me it started roaring and using all of its strength to pull the spear out of its jaw,the spear started moving in a second and was being slowly pulled out of its jaw.
While the troll was cunning it was not very smart as it used brute strength to pull out the spear out of its jaw. Knowing what would happen i watch the troll with a twisted smile forming on my face. As if to alert me the troll suddenly started howling in anguish, he had actually ripped off a large part of its jaw along with the spear.
Using this opportunity where it was not paying any attention to its surroundings i limp away and hide behind a tree, looking at my body with a resentful gaze i try moving my limbs and feeling the changes, the bones in my right leg and arm were smashed into many pieces while most of my left rib cage was pulverized.
Waiting for several minutes i limp towards the troll that stopped jumping around and howling..it actually lost its consciousness due to severe pain. Knowing that another opportunity like this would not show up i take what is left of spear and stab it as deep as i can into its eye. This time there was no extreme reaction like before, it just twitched few times before it let out its last breath.

Knowing that i won this battle with mostly luck i let out a dejected sigh as i lay down next to troll corpse exhausted, even though this body feels no exhaustion or pain my mind felt tired...so very tired. Managing to keep my eyes open for a few seconds i notice a white light flow out of troll into my body.
Seeing that strange thing happen again i smile happily as i feel my soul being nourished and hunger dissipate. Looking down at my body slowly being repaired by white light i let out a satisfied sigh before falling asleep. Being unable to stay awake any longer i fall asleep for the first time without feeling unbearable hunger.

To The Far Shore
Post apocalyptic Oregon Trail. The apocalypse has come and gone. And come back again, and left again... nobody really knows how often. Nothing lasts forever, but nothing is ever completely gone. Which is a shame for young Mazelton, as his family has been around a terribly long time, and made an astonishing amount of enemies. Millenia's worth. So he has to run- from mobs, cannibals, soldiers, sailors, cholera, cattle, thieving sales-monks, starvation, mechanical horrors, vengeful spirits, negotiating your own marriage, and poison of every sort. Fortunately, his not terribly nice family has trained him well in the arts of core polishing. Or as you and I might know it- turning radioactive pellets into useful tools. And weapons. Updates Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Usual defensive tags applied. The goal isn't exactly family friendly, but you have probably seen worse on network TV. After the watershed. Not full blown HBO, let's say. This is the first novel I am sharing publicly, so feedback is very much appreciated and encouraged. Act 1 of the novel is completed, but do please let me know what works, what doesn't, and what you would like to see more of. Thank you, and Enjoy!
