《The Gods Summons》Chapter 12 : The camp
Advertisement
Carrying Valia on my shoulders , Tyrell was walking in front of me . We were walking toward the bandit camp , Yup I'm going to use the sibling to infiltrate the camp . Valia agreed as long I keep my promise which is to keep them safe.
Reaching the camp , I observed a bit to verify if they check the people before let them in . Well didn't have any , bandits are going in and out like in a super market . I could even see bandits bringing some prisoners , probably freshly captured .
Making up my mind , I wanted to know if there's a way to end this quickly .
Walking in with Valia and Tyrell , they didn't seem to pay us much attention , I guess these kind of thing is ordinary. I could see some extinct fire campfire and dozens of huge tent , but one particularly was bigger than others . On my way to the huge tent , I heard an intrusting conversation .
Bandit # 1 : "Hey , these day it appear that some of our man got killed."
Bandit # 2 : "These weakling probably failed their ambush and got themselves killed ."
Bandit # 1 : " No, I talked with one of the guys who discovered the bodies . It seems that they were the one who got ambushed and killed ."
Bandit # 2 : " Damn , how can we do our job if they're people hunting us down ? "
Bandit # 1 : " Ike Grandall is going to personally investigate about this."
Bandit # 2 : " Who's that guy ? "
Bandit # 1 : " He was an ex elite knight from the capital , he became a mercenary because he got more money that way . "
Nice to know that I reduced a bit of their numbers but I have to be extra careful now . I will have to slow down my power farming . Even though this is not a game .

I followed the bandits who have captured people with them . I entered in the tent and queue up to `report` about the sibling . Then my turn came .
Bandits accountant : " State your business . "
Wow , rude . Pointing at Valia who is still on my shoulders and Tyrell.
Mark : " They're Valia and Tyrell Grewsk , the guards told me that they're already ordered by somebody. "
Looking at his book , the accountant seem to have found what he was looking for .
Bandits accountant : " Yeah , you have to take them at this place and wait for the people that i will send to you so they can get them to the city . "
Pointing at a certain location at this map . I nodded and walked away .
I saw a lot of people , casually clothed coming in the camp .It seems that most of the bandits don't live here .
Arriving where they asked me to . I waited like asked too . I already freed Valia but Tyrell is a bit unstable so he's still tied .
Then four guys finally came, they are casually clothed .
Casually clothed guy : " We will take care of them from here . "
He motioned me to hand them the siblings .
Mmh , nice clothes . I want to go into the city too , and there's no way that I wear the bandits uniform .
Quickly casting Lightning Chain , they were paralyzed before they even noticed . I just snapped their neck one by one .
Undressing one of them to take his clothes , Lusella popped out of nowhere .
Lusella : " Finally found you ." She stared at Valia and Tyrell ." Who're they ?"
Mark : "Some sibling that I luckily save . "
Lusella : " After all these hours , you only saved two ? "
Huh ? I though she didn't care about if I saved anybody at all . Should I tell her that I was too busy sleeping ?

Mark : "Well , I-I take a little break since I couldn't find any group , ha ha... "
Why the hell I'm acting like such pussy , I should say out loud and with pride that I was sleeping !
Lusella walked toward the siblings and told them to follow her .
Mark : " Hey, what are you doing ?
Lusella : " I'm going to take them to our base and make them one of ours ."
One of ours ? They can turn them into demon ?
Mark : " Hey don't hurt them ! "
I got attached to them , specially Valia . Hehe .
Lusella : " Don't worry about it . Now keep training , and this time don't be lazy . "
They just walked away without even looking at me , did she use mind control on them or what ?
*Grow*
Mark : " Oh, I'm hungry , Let's go to the city and fill my stomach ."
Dressing the casual clothes that I 'borrowed' from the dead guys , I was head to the city. I got thru the control by giving them couple gold , these guards are greedy as shit , they would probably sell them mother if I gave enough gold.
The city looks like it was split apart , one side you have the fully trashed street with a tons of hobo and the other side full of wealthy people .
Where the hell are the middle class people !?
Obviously I moved into the wealthy area , heading to the first restaurant that I see . Looking at the menu , I couldn't believe what I'm seeing , the cheapest meal cost ten gold .
Holy molly , this is a scram. What ?! A Rainbow Chicken ? ONE HUNDRED GOLD !
After eating my rainbow chicken who gave me a rainbow of salty , sweet and spicy flavor, it was degusting . I headed to a blacksmith to buy a the most expensive steeled gauntlet . It cost me 350 gold but I seem to be well made .
Punching people bare handed gave me some painful contusion and I want to avoid breaking my cute little bones.
At the end of the days I spent 450 gold , well it's not like I'm was using my gold . So I don't really care.
Leaving the city , I put back my the bandits uniform . I was ready to farm these bandits .
I was eager to test my newly buy gauntlet , but bandits are hard to find since they're all scattered in this huge forest.
Luckily Lusella gave me a magic map who works like a GPS .
After five hours , I only managed to get rid of four group of seven bandits.
Running in the forest , that's one of my strategies to make them come out . Since when they saw me , they always ask what's going on or why I'm alone. Then I strike them when they're all gathered .
But this time I run into a guy blue haired with blue eyes . Wearing a full set of blue steeled armor . I was prepared to fight , it seem that he wasn't a bandit . And maybe he's here to hunt them like me .
Mark : " Who're you ?"
Blue steel knight: " I'm Ike Grandall , I'm here to investigate about the killing of your trash comrades ."

Reality Grants One Chance
Some people are lucky, some aren't, some - have terrible luck. Our "hero" is of the latter kind. During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.
