Chapter 1 - Pay or be prey

"Aah! it's coming from behind that tree"

This is what that feared boy heard before a wolf bigger than himself appeared Infront of him.

"Hurry up! grab that damn spear on the floor or else we will die!"

A feared boy who was filled with sweat shouted to his friend who had been lying on the ground unmovable due to the sheer amount of fear he got from that beast standing Infront of him.

Thinking it was his last moments the boy decided to do something brave for the first time in his life.He got up, grabbed the half broken spear and stood with bravery waiting for the perfect moment to strike that beast and end it all.

"What are you doing? Are you stupid? You will die! get away!"

Shouted his friend worried so

about him.But he who had decided what his final moments will be like after he dreamt of being brave and heroic for the first time was not ready to back up so easily.

The beast hungry for blood and flesh attacked the boy with his sharp and fearsome claws the boy tried blocking the attack by using his half broken spear but it was no use the ferocious beast tore through it like a piece of paper the boy now left completely unarmed wondered what could he do next while his friend was completely shook by what had happened.

As the beast approached the boy who stood for bravery and was about to attack him a powerful aerial slash came from the woods knocking the wolf back into the trees the two friends completely shook hurriedly looked back to see who has become the saviour of their lives.

As the were watching closely in the woods a 18-19 year old boy appeared holding a sword in his hand looking at the beast as it was his treasure.The friends tried to talk to the boy but his gaze was fixed on only the beast.

The beast stood up ready for revenge the boy who had no fear of the beast charged at the beast with his sword.The boy's sword clashed with the wolf's claws as it sounded like metals clinging with each other the battle took on the boy who had no plan of losing kept attacking with his sword while the beast was get weaker and weaker with every strike until came a time when the beast's body gave up.

The boy went to the beast's dead body and pierced it right through it's chets revealing a glowing stone which he put in his pocket.

Afterwards he came to the friends and they introduced themselves as Johnson and Mike two very good friends who helped each other in all types of situations then the boy introduced himself as Raken Kai a boy dreaming big of becoming the most powerful in the entire cosmos Johnson and Mike obviously wanted to laugh at this but couldn't because that guy had just saved their lives.

They tried to thank him for his help and go back but Kai stopped them and said,

"What's to hurry about eh? who's gonna pay for my help?"

The friends abviously confused asked,

"Payment! For what?"

"For saving your lives or what else"

The friends didn't wanted to pay him because the only money they had left was for their dinner so they tried to talk him out of it but he didn't listened to them and said,

"If you're not gonna pay I will throw you in that beast's territory where hundreds even stronger than that one wait for their prey to arrive."

The boys too scared of that animal had no choice after a short discussion they came to the conclusion that one should pay and that they should share their dinner.

"Fine we'll pay.Here's 20 gold coins"

"Only 20! No I need at least 30"

Replied Kai,

"Huh 30! That's too much"

"You gonna pay or else be the prey"

"Ok Fine I will pay.Damn it man"

The boy then takes some coins out of his pocket counts them very carefully and hands them of to Kai with a sad and depressing face.

"Nice! And you two be safe in these woods these monsters show no mercy"

"You're the actual monster we should fear"

Murmured Mike,

Kai heard it a bit but didn't understand it and said,

"Huh? Did you said something?"

"Ah no,no I said nothing"

Mike replied nervously,

"Oh yeah and have a nice dinner you two"

Kai said with a smirk on his face

"Damn it Johnson it's all because of you"

"What? I didn't did anything it was all your idea to fight that beast"

And so they started querelling with each other about who's fault it was.

Kai queitly walked on through the woods he continued to walk on for a long time until he reached a swamp.

"Right! This is exactly what I was looking for"

Kai said excitedly while a giant green python emerged form the ponds.

The python angered that his sweet slumber was disturbed by a measly little human got up and was ready to eat Kai and go back to his sleep.

"This is perfect exactly what I needed now I just need to kill it and extract it's venom"

Kai said preparing his sword to strike once again.

The python rushed towards Kai using flame powers, he spitted fire out of his mouth which instantly evaporated every single drop of water in the swamp.

While the flames burnt continuously in the air and the scene filled with steam from the water the python waited for the steam to dissapear so he could confirm his victory that's when the steam started revolving in a circular pattern forming what looked like a tornado the steam turned back into water and the tornado flew up into the air right above the pythons head.

The water formed a long beam aiming for the pythons head the python tried to dodge but the beam was too fast it hit the pythons head straight in the center and the python was knocked in the ground.

The swamp was now filled again with water the python stood up he saw Kai fully visible because the steam was gone Kai was completely surrounded with the pythons flames.

Kai blew lightly from his mouth and the flames vanished instantly leaving no trace behind the python scared and shocked that how can a small boy survive his attack and then destroy it's flames but it didn't backed up so easily.

It prepared to strike again but the boy was faster he dashed towards that python and aimed for it's neck, the python attacked with it's tail knocking Kai back a bit, but he stood up and prepared for a powerful strike he dashed towards the python again but this time he was even faster, the python swinged it's tail again but Kai dodged it this time and bombarded the python with slashes from all sides the python roared and a blast occured from it's mouth, Kai jumped back to dodge, after the blast dissapeared Kai saw the snake grievously wounded and had shed some of it's scales

He attacked the python again but this time with a stab attack that the python couldn't dodge, the python opened it's mouth to try and bite Kai as a last resort but the sword pierced right through his throat and a blast occured inside the pythons body and shredded it's body into pieces and it's head left stuck on top of kai's sword.

Kai took it off his sword and extracted it's venom from it's fangs and poured it inside a flask and put it in his pocket and started walking back to his house.

When he reached the house, a man stood there holding a hammer, he was the one known as the "Blacksmith".

He was very popular among the people as he once used to be very strong but has now been weakened due to a serious injury he got during a fight.

"Look I got 30 coins this time"

Kai said to the blacksmith with a smile,

"So who did you scammed today?"

The Blacksmith replied,

"Hey I didn't scammed someone today I actually saved some people's lives so it's a fair trade"

The blacksmith than teleported behind him and hitted him lightly just below his neck and Kai bent at the shock of that attack the blacksmith than grabbed him by his clothes and they were teleported to a cave.

"What is this? Where am I?"

Kai shouted while flinging his limbs to get free from the blacksmith.

"Nothing it's just a test.Go beat that monster there then I will consider you strong"

As the blacksmith said this a giant ape with black and grey fur came out of the back of the cave it roared and beated it's chest indicating that it is ready for a fight.

Kai wasn't going to backup so easily he set aside his fear and charged at the ape.The monster was much bigger than Kai it knocked away Kai into the cave's wall by using only one hand.

"Who's so strong now eh"

These words angered Kai he got up and prepared for a second strike but this time the beast charged first with both of it's hands he joined them and formed a fist and striked at the ground repeatedly aiming for Kai but Kai dodged all of them and striked the beast with his sword inflicting a wound on it's chest the beast roared once again.

After a very long battle of dodging and attacking, the beast finally got a hard hit on Kai which left him lying on the ground unable to move.The beast prepared to strike and finish Kai.

Kai's sword which he was holding in his hand suddenly started to emit a flame he attacked the beast with a flaming slash so powerful it caused an earthquake and the cave collapsed on top of the beast.Kai and the blacksmith managed to escape, the beast erupted from the rumble seeming completely fine that's when the last bit of flame on kai's sword went out the beast was set to fire and turned into ashes.

"See I'm strong"

"Ok Fine I will admit you're strong but not stronger than me"

Far away in another cave two demonic eyes filled with blood opened due to the shock that came from the earthquake.
