SNAP!

My eyes flew open, as I grimaced due to the brightness. Wait, I’m standing? My eyes adjusted to the brightness as I scanned my surroundings. I was outside, by the woods or something. The air was warm and it was the normal June weather. I looked down at my clothes. Hunting clothes. Did only my conscious mind sleep? That was pretty risky. I had to keep an eye on that. I looked around for anyone. I desperately tried to let my body take control but it looks like I slept way too long. My mental HP was probably charged for a year. It didn't seem to work.

I managed to calm down and tried to think. Sadly my memories went blank like it was still blank.

RUSTLE RUSTLE

My ears perked up. I quietly unsheathed my sword and crouched down to get a small rock. I threw the rock to the bush.

Suddenly a pig or a boar charged down and out of panic I stabbed it. Blood spattered on the ground and on to my arms. My weak mind screamed.

‘Come on. I have done this before.’ I repeated in my mind. But that time was different, because I had supporters behind my back.

I checked my pockets. A stamp. I guess you put a stamp onto the animal you caught.

I moved on while stumbling into a bunch of animals while searching for the way out. There were quite many animals which were already caught by the competitors.

I looked around but I still found no presence of people. I kept on searching for a way out, or maybe find my horse while killing animals that attacked me first.

Aurelia was a person who didn't like killing wild animals for no reason. If they stayed quiet, or if they seemed harmless she would ignore it but if they actually attacked her first then she would kill them in a blink. I nearly killed a bear but when I saw that it was trembling, and when I saw its baby cub, I hesitated and gave it some berries I found.

This was getting boring. I mean I couldn't find the exit, I was lonely and the animals were so weak I pitied them.

RUSTLE RUSTLE CRACK RUSTLE

Excitingly, I swung my sword to the source of the sound only to find myself with masked men with a robe. I quickly compressed the urge to shriek and drop my sword by surprise.

Thankfully, Rela’s body didn't seem surprised since it didn't lose the grip on the sword, and i didnt tremble.

“And you are?'' I glared into the dude who was closest into its eyes.

There seemed to be four of them. An assasination attempt? What a joke. It's still too few people to try. Rela would have kicked their asses in less than four minutes.The masked people remained silent and drew their swords.

“I was just getting bored!” I cried. I charged to meet them.
