"SKREEEEEE!"
The Gaint eagle let out a piercing cry in deep forest under a sunset in yellow sky...high, furious, ripping through the air. It's high-pitched scream reached more than 8 miles. Every weak creatures frozen in fear.
The air trembled as the great eagle descended towards a target and landed infront of a person, its cry echoing through the forest. It landed beside him with the weight of a falling boulder, It's fold his long wings not before a load clap as to say it's arrival. But The human is a young boy.
A boy close enough to be 17 years old, youthful. His short hair is black, so dark it seemed to absorb all light that touched it, yet the hair didn't cover his beautiful crystal blue eyes. His eyes were a resembling of blue sea, reminiscent of blue stars, captivating and intense. His skin was as pale as moonlight on freshly fallen snow, contrasting sharply with his dark hair and blue eyes. His features were sharp, sculpted...a straight nose, high cheekbone, smooth and perfect.
In short, he possessed an extraordinary handsomeness that bordered on mesmerizing....a quality that could effortlessly draw the gaze of anyone who crossed his path
But....
None of those features match his expression and his body attitude which speaks different and opposite to his appearance.
His expression was angry and uninterested. But his expression didn't look like he was in bad mood. Instead they looks like it's a part of his nature.
He was wearing a black shirt and pants. He was eating a chocolate cake pie and sat on a rock nearby river. The round stones under his foot makes noise as he completed his food.
Then he stood up and went near the river to wash his hands. The eagle sharp eyes looked at him intensely and it gave a small roar.
The boy went towards his bag, under a tree and eagle followed him under foot. He took out his bag.
The Eagle bowed its head once.
He pulled a strip of meat from his pack and tossed it forward. The bird caught it mid-air, tearing into it with slow, deliberate movements.
"Shall we start?"
The eagle let out a cry as agreeing with him. He nodded his head and looking at certain direction. He went near and looked at creature which tied and left on ground. It was a small young goblin.
"hewweh"
"HEYYYYY"
The boy screamed at that goblin and the goblin scared for his life for Frist time as he looked at the dark eyes at him. The boy tone was very angry and enough to make even kids to fear him. But The boy got annoyed by the noises of goblin.
He is peace loving human.
With annoyed look, He took out a rope from his bag and tied to the goblin legs. Then throw the rope on strong tree branch.
He tied the globin bottom up position.
"F#ck, What a lucky day! Who would have thought A goblin heir would fall in my trap, and that was on my last day before I'm leaving my hometown."
This goblin is different than normal young goblins. It have crown similar to the Leader of goblins. It could only fear at this human in this moment.
The air trembled as the great eagle ascended towards a tree, the eagle unfolded it's Wings, vast and dark.
The boy took out a small blade and grab the head of goblin who was tied upside down.
He looked carefully at the goblin neck slowly and the goblin didn't dare make this human anger anymore. The boy put the tip of blade at one point and slowly pushed in his neck.
"I wonder how long it will take for your goblins trash group come here for you. After all, you are important to them."
He slowly started to cut the neck. He was very precision while cutting it's throat.
"If I cut here and hang you reverse....Then the gravity will take care of your slow painful death"
Dark green blood started to leak out of the wound and fell into the river down. He washed his blade and hands. He dislikes the shitty smell of goblins blood.
"Others may think this is not high standard to use shitty kids to lure prey. But those guys are wrong. Very very wrong "
He sat never on Stone and started chatting with the dying goblin as his friend or close enough.
"No kill rule for shitty creatures babies is actually weak minded. This type of psychology has no place in the world, and mainly to me. If I follow this type morals, it will hinder the attainment of heavenly bliss of my belief. This type of action will also destroy my Ego. In reality, not killing these bastards doesn't align with high standards."
The goblin could only cry in silence while looking at this human. It felt the heat around its throat and blood continuously leaking out.
"In span of six months, you will become adult trash. So such rules doesn't apply to you, Right?"
Slowly the light in the goblin is fading away and right at the moment
"HEYYYYY"
The goblin opened its eyes in fear at his shout.
"Listen to me, Where I'm am?... Let's talk about your death. Death is an inevitable part of life and it is an eternal truth that all souls, living and after death, are immortal. Your trash body have life and it will leave soon. "
The gentle breeze caressed him as he sauntered forward. The air felt fresh and refreshing. The ground was filled with lush green and boy was amazed by the panoramic view of the sunset, filling his heart with vigour and excitement.
"Physical experiences such as pain in this world are only caused by the touch of the senses. All these experiences are temporary and they come at a time and go away after some time."
The forest was dead silent before The sound of leaves and tree branches can be heard.
"But I fear death but not like you, pathetic. It was one of my wishes. When death is infront of me... In future, My eyes shouldn't show fear, and a satisfied smile should be on my face. I should be proud of my life. It's beautiful wish right? You can never understand it."
He looked at trees, waiting for them to arrive. He could sense liveliness and richness all around him. Everything around him have mana in it.
Everything in the world was made of mana and the dead remains are mainly turned into a source of mana which is mixed with the environment. It's a nature cycle.
His anger was reduced a little.
"Sigh~ My main goal right now is to make my parents proud of me. To turn my father's money into more than ten times what it is now... Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think my goal isn't good enough? Were you expecting me to say something like, 'My dream is to be a justice hero and bang every beautiful girl in name of pathetic love but actually lust'?"
He wore a disappointed expression.
"Tch. Losers with weak minds. You'll never understand the pain of a son seeing his father's disappointed face, or hearing his mother say she regrets giving birth to him. Guess it's only natural for trash like you."
"Hruup"
"It's a fact, my goal of making my parents proud carries more weight and aura than any of that bullshit."
The goblin began to lose consciousness after hearing his words. He couldn't bear the pain in his body.
"Maa always says that...I standout more than others and she likes it. But my father didn't like my Ego. Because of my ego, the relationship between me and my father become pain in ass. Even if our relationship is not good. I love my father and mother more than anything."
The eagle looked at certain direction as it saw something.
"I used to have an older brother. He died when the war broke out during his final year. But it's not true. He was murdered by the Corrupted Empire. They killed him And no one did anything. The Rulers, government, laws, police, every motherf#ckers are corrupted bastards. Commoners will never get justice in this world. It's infuriating, even Generation Z couldn't stop them instead, most of them joined in."
The boy felt someone is watching him from deep in the woods.
"Its disappointing but that's how world works."
There were many reasons why people didn't follow a path in forest, but the main reason was safety. Travelers could meet beasts that could kill people with a single bite and other dangers. However, if someone interviewed a hundred people about what they thought was the most dangerous thing in forest, all hundred would say Monsters which can use mana And abilities.
Monsters had strong physical strength; some possessed magical abilities, and a few even had special abilities. They were currently the biggest threat to travelers in this forest.
The forest was engulfed in silence. The dark place was covered with leaves, flowers, shrubs and mushrooms which were growing everywhere.
The forest niche was filled with rich vegetation which alarmed him.
All these would attract small beasts which would then attract larger beasts to prey on them.
So, it was completely expected when the boy soon met some monsters in his path.
Krrrgh!
A bright yellow beings that almost looked like a patient with its deep yellow eyes yelled ferociously at him.
The goblins was barely a meter tall. They wore nothing, and the only form of weapon was a wooden stick that was crudely shaped into a bludgeon. To be honest, the goblin didn't look frightening at all. Goblins were not depicted as strong monsters. They merely came out as weak footmen for mighty Beasts.
The sound of grass swaying in the wind became a bit rougher. Goblins soon appeared and surrounded him. There were at least twenty of them.
Suddenly a huge Goblin leader revealed himself from behind the group of Goblins. It looked at the dead goblin which hanging upside down.
Urggh!
The goblin made a threatening glare and shook his huge wooden club.
"Do you like what you saw... shitty head?"
The boy points at dead goblin as to mock them.
But the Goblins didn't care for dead. Instead they looked at the boy with hunger.
The fact that they didn't seem to care that one of their companions had died seemed to show that they were monsters without an ounce of humanity.
"So sad, Even your own people didn't care for you."
He moved his left hand towards ground to grabs something. The items inside his hand collided against each other and clattered.
A stone.
He placed one of the stones in his left hand and secured it on his middle finger with his thumb as if he was going to flick it.
Swish!
He stretched out his middle finger and pushed the stone out. It was a childish gesture, but he was trained so the result was different. The stone flew out and pierced the center of one of the goblin's foreheads.
Push!
A bright, green flower bloomed. As if a huge hammer struck it, the goblin's head exploded. He continued to flick the stones.
Swish! Swish!
Puck! Puck!
Whenever the boy flicked his finger, a loud sound rang out and a head exploded. It happened instantly. The monsters didn't even have the chance to respond, escape, or run. It didn't take long for the group of goblins to be wiped out leaving the leader alone.
"You saw it. All I did was flick some stones around."
The boy threw his leftover stones onto the ground.
"I learnt that technique from My grandpa."
He took out his short sword. He unsheathed it. The goblin turned around and started to run away.
Before the Goblin could do anything. The boy throws the sword at goblin head.
Slash!
Dead.
He took out his phone.
"Honestly, I don't know. Do we really have 5G network or or are we just cutely calling 2G as '5G' instead?"
He went to take his short sword.
"Tch, I couldn't even see any YouTube videos in this place. Buffering...Buffering.... And this place is near to captial. Also, why do someone need to build a Capital near the forest?."
This was a mini forest. He looked at the sky as the sun almost gone. And he could see two moons in the sky, Blue and Red moons. He planned to rest but he knows the Beasts in the forest know his presence. So he just killed the goblins and gave free food for the beasts. Atleast he can rest 4-5 hours before starting his journey again.
In this path, He would find a narrow path there that would converge into the wide path leading to the Capital. Once he gets closer to the wide pathway, he would find all sorts of people.
He looked at the eagle. So the eagle will take him to safe place.
Ring~
He felt the vibrations from his phone.
He got a call from his father.
"HEYYY."
"HEYYY RAGHAV! Why don't you listen to me for once? Come back home, damn it! You have no reason to leave. You can just enjoy my wealth and live comfortably as my son. You don't need to throw yourself into danger. we're not cut out for that!"
"How many times do I have to say it? I don't want to be a joke to my future kids."
"HEYYY! Drop that ego when you talk to your father. I'm one of the most successful farmers in the entire human kingdom! I can't stand your big attitude anymore."
"Didn't you say when I was a kid that you liked me because I was just like you? Now you don't?"
"I don't want to talk with idiots."
"But I do, Father. Let's talk."
"This is why no girl will stay with you for more than five minutes! Our ancestors must be cursing me.. they don't want our bloodline to end with you!"
"Oh? So you're planning a second marriage? I'll be sure to tell Maa about that."
"You brat-" SIGNAL CUT
The internet didn't seem to work outside in the forest. His phone battery was already in single digits, and aside from emergency calls, it was practically useless here.
"tch, parents should support kids not spoil them."
Raghav arched his back before moving towards his unknown destiny and problem.
