"What is the first thing you do when entering a room?"is asked by a man in a military uniform.

"Make an escape plan."is answered by an ashen haired boy.

In Echos room, he wakes up suddenly while breathing heavily. His body is covered with cold sweat which is running down his body.

He puts his right hand onto his forehead while muttering"Why the fuck do I see these dreams again. I haven't seen them for years."

His breathing slowly calms down and after it has returned to normal, he looks at the window to see that is is still dark outside.

'I can't fall asleep now.'

He gets up from the bed and puts on his clothes. Once he finishes tying his boot laces, he gets up from the bed and leaves the room. He walks down the dark corridor with quiet steps. Keeping the noise minimum is being made easier by the carpet. So he doesn't make any noise now while stepping.

Because he can't exactly leave by going through the front door, he decides to climb down from the window. When he lands onto the ground, he moved slowly towards the stone wall that is surrounding the castle. He climbs up the five meter tall wall and once he is on top of it, he climbs down to other side.

After that he runs into the city.

He has learned the entire city map and with that knowledge he can easily navigate through the city even though he hasn't been there before.

He soon gets to the city after passing sneaking through the nobel district.

The city itself isn't that impressive currently but that is to be expected. Only a couple of people are walking around and some guards are patrolling. And the only thing lighting the city is the moonlight.

Even though no shop was open, he still had stuff to do in this city. Like looking for the people who have a bounty on their head. There are like five posters next to him. So he looks at each of their faces, names and rewards. After remembering everything he goes towards the slums. Because where else a person with a bounty would hide.

The walking to the slums takes him about an hour and he could now barely see the walls which is protecting all of this city.

As for the slums itself it smells like piss, shit and alcohol with an extra stench of death in it. The houses look like they are barely even standing and so can be said for the few people who are walking here. Echo of course stands out slightly because his training clothes are on a clean side as for the residence here, they are wearing dirty rags.

His goal is to find some kind of bar where he may or may not find the bounty or someone who knows about the bounty.

He walks deeper into the slums and while walking, he gets surrounded by four people wearing rags and holding a knife. The one who looks like a leader is holding a crappy sword.

*Sigh.*

'He won't bother to warn them, because they won't listen. So he is gonna kill the three and leave the leader alive to ask a few questions.

"Hand over your stuff and we may-"the man is cut off by a card sticking out of his forehead like the other two. The three simultaneously fall down onto the muddy street with a card sticking out of their head and blood slowly flowing out.

"What the hell."the leader says, before Echo disarms him by breaking his right hand which is holding the sword. The sword drops onto the floor and before he could scream, Echo covers his mouth with his hand.

"If you don't want to end up like them, answer my questions. If you understand then make a sound If not then be quiet."Echo says and the man with terror in his eyes makes a sound with his mouth.

"Good. Do you know a some kind of place where the criminals gather?"

"Mhm."

"Good. Show me the way. Try to run or call for hell will result in your death. Got it."

"Mhm."

"Good. Show me the way and shut up the entire way."Echo says and lets go off him.

The dirty man starts to talk with Echo following him. The entire time they are walking, he keeps onto his right arm which is broken and dangling on his body. He is thought it would be easy robbery, but he was so wrong. Instead of robbing him, his three friends got killed in an instant and his arm was broken. So right now he hopes that If he shows him the way, he will let him off.

After a while the reach in front of a larger stone building without falls.

"This is the place."the man says and Echo nods behind him, before breaking the mans neck and throwing him onto the side. He takes the mans coin pouch and finds a few silvers inside there. Definitely stolen.

Pushing open the door, he immediately sees a inn looking place with tables with food and drinks on it. There is also a receptionist there. He walks in and closes the door behind him. He looks around and lucky him finds one of the man with a bounty his head. His bounty was fifty silver and he got the bounty from countless murders and arson. So he may know fire magic.

'Okay. My target is sitting at the table with three of his buddies. Besides them there are eleven other people here plus the receptionist. I guess there are may be up to five in the kitchen it sleeping and up to ten guests sleeping currently. So there is about between sixteen to thirty one man. As for their weapons I see mostly swords and knives and one is with a bow. I have remembered everyone's seating.'

Echo walks towards the table and sits down there all the while all of the eyes were on him. He does stand out with his hair and his current clothing.

While he is sitting, a man walks up to him and asks"What do you want?"

"Something strong, but not too strong."Echo answers.

"Got it."he replies and walks away. After a minute a mug full of alcohol is placed on his table and before he drinks it, he sniffs it.

'Poison. Here goes something stupid.'

He says and takes a sip, hoping that his [Poison Resistance] will be strong enough to counter the poison.

'Fuck it. Lets get this over with.'

He gets up with the mug and walks up to his target.

"Hey, Pete. Remember me."Echo says to his target, who turned around to look at him. Immediately the drink in Echos mug is thrown at him and followed with a card into his head, killing him.

"What the-."one of his companions yells, before he and his friends are killed too. Four dead and are there more to follow. To find out, he looks around and sees eleven more soon to be humans.

"Lets get this shit done!"Echo yells and then holds out a card in his finger and chants[Wind Slash]. The card starts to immediately glow, showing that the spell is successfully chanted and now can be used. So he throws the card at the group three other guys, cutting everyone cleanly half.

"Holy shit!"

"Oh fuck thi-"he was killed before he could escape.

Two people got too close to throw his cards, so he holds the card tightly between his index and middle finger of his right hand.

A man swings his sword at it, but he blocks the sword with his cards, while kicking the other guy away. He grabs the mans head and throws him across the room through the wall.

With a few quick throws more, everyone is dead with Echo only receiving one cut.

He looks around the room to see about ten people with a card sticking out of their body, three people cut half and painting the floor in red currently and one guy with multiple broken bones outside.

He stretches his neck and looks at the receptionist.

"What did just happen?"Echo asks him and the old man replies"A bar fight."

"Okay. Was I here?"he asks another question.

"No."

"Do you know how I look?"

"How could I know how you look, If you weren't here."the man answers.

"Good answers. For now, please cut off his head and you get a reward."Echo points at his target and the receptionist nods.

"What the-"is said by another guy who was coming down the stairs and was immediately killed by Echo. The body slides down the steps and stops at the floor.

As for Echo he continues to loot everyone's valuable. Dead should be respected, but respecting the dead won't get you money. While he is looting the corpses, the man has cut of the mans head and put it into sack.

After he was done, Echo threw one of the coin pouches to the man, after getting the head.

"I was never here."Echo says before walking out of the door.

While walking he dematerializes all of the cards.

After getting out of the slums with a sack that is dripping blood. On his belt, he has two coin pouches, full of silver and copper coins.

After a while he runs into a group of guards, who stop him and ask"What's in there?" The guards are wearing regular metal armor with a spear in their hands.

"Peter the Burners head. I need to turn in his bounty."Echo asks.

"Show us."the guard

So Echo opens the bag and takes out the head by holding it by hair.

"It is his head."the guards says.

"Well then. Aren't we glad that we killed him."says one of the guards and laughs with others following his lead.

'So I run to a group of shitty soldiers. I wonder where I can hide bodies. But the sun is rising already, so I need to be fast. But I can't really kill them either. So beat the living shit out of them is the way.'

"Well then boy. Give is the head and you can go your way."one of the soldiers says.

"How about you fuck off before it is too late."Echo says.

"Okay. Get him."
