《The Last Death Mage》Interlude: Foolishness of Youth
Advertisement
While Tristan was fighting, possibly for his life, in the Pit there were events happening elsewhere in the City. A tall blonde youth in his late teens was running, his chest heaved with his labored breathing as he ran. He turned off of the road he had been running along and went onto what was little more than a dirt path, thuogh remnants of gravel could be seen here and there. He started to slow down as he approached his destination, a crumbling stone wall laden with green vines. This wasnt just one of the older parts of the city, it was also one of the less frequent and least inhabited parts as well. He slowed down entirely to a slow walk as he passed by the stone wall and headed towards and old log cabin that stood near a small copse of trees. He stopped and tensed as he looked around, he walked closer to the log cabin, he was about to enter it when he heard the cracking of a twig coming from the forest. He tensed again and turned swiftly towards where the sound had come from, he trees. He breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he saw the familiar figure leaving the trees.
He spoke to the figure with amusement evidenced in his voice. "So you made it here safely then?" The figure replied in a delicate and feminine voice. "Yes, though i didtn like it, I hate nature." At her response the teen chuckled, nearly breakin into full blown laughter as he responded. "Hey, your the one who say we can't meet around the College and you also had your people prepare and scout this place. I am not responsible this time, so shall we go in then?" As he spoke the last words he gestured towards the cabin with one arm and his face took on a wicked smile that gave him a rakish look. The young woman blushed and nodded before she started walking towards the cabin. He walked in front of her swiftly to the front door and opened it for her. He put his head into the cabin and looked around for a moment before he pulled back and let her enter. He turned around for a moment to look outside before he reached for the door to shut it, suddenly a cold breeze blew across the place and he shivered for a moment before he rushed into the cabin and closed the door.

After closing the door he turned around and was embraced by his girfriend Mari. She raised her head towards him and he lowered his head to hers and their lips met in a kiss. He gently teased her lips with his before he gently bit her lips, she whimpered at the sensation before she lowered her head and just snuggled into him as he moved forward while holding her. When they reached what served as the cabin's living room she broke away from him and sat on a loveseat near the fireplace while he moved forward to get it started. Soon enough a roaring fire was created in the fireplace and the inside of the room became cosy and took on a pleast ambience. He walked over to the loveseat and joined her, he took er into his arms and held her, though one of his arms started wandering over her petite, but luscious form. She pushed him away from ehr for a momen and shivered despite the warmth before she spoke. "I do need this Jon, more than you perhaps, but are you sure we are alone, I just have this feeling."
He chuckled lightly, though he was frowning as well before he responded to her. "Come on baby. What do you think this is a hoor movie or a horror novel. Listen i took a look before we entered and didnt see anything, and you had sent your people to check this out before we arrived and they said it was ok right?" She didnt say anything but nodded lightly. He chuckled again saying "See? then there is nothing to worry about." He paused as he moved towards here as she relaxed at his statments, but there was still a wariness in her eyes. "Haah, fine. How about i take a look around, while you stay here with your phone ready in case something does happen, not that it will, ok?" She nodded again as she reached into her jacket to pull the phone out as he left. She stood up and stretched with her arms out, then something grabbed her and she screamed, though it was muffled because whatever it was put a hand over her mouth. Jon came running back and dropped his phone, before he too screamed at what had his girlfriend.

Malt the Manslayer
This story does not follow a hero. Malt doesn’t slay dragons with a holy sword nor is he granted immense magical power when he transfers. Unlike his three classmates, he was brought into the new world not as a mythical hero, but with stats comparable if not worse than the average townsfolk. Assaulted by feelings of inadequacy and weakness, he leaves the comfortable castle life that the royalty offered him and decides to help his new country in the only way he thinks he can. By joining the war on the southern border. Not a war against mythical beasts or powerful demons, but against other humans. He thought that he’d finish a single deployment then come back to the castle, proud enough to stand beside his friends again. Little did he know that he’d become one of the most feared fighters on the battlefield, killing so many that he’d earn the moniker, “Malt the Manslayer.”
