Bloody Specialist

In 2020 my life changed dramatically. After getting the job I have fought so hard for, my colleagues, in a fit of envy or perhaps just hate, decided that I did not deserve the position of vice president of the board of directors of a major international company and they forced me to leave the company by making my life a hell.

Feeling betrayed by my former colleagues and heartbroken, I refused to leave my post and continued onward. What I did not know at that time was the evil that awaits in the heart of people eaten by envy.

A few days after that very kind proposal to leave my post, at three in the morning, on a Sunday, I received a visitor who took everything away from me.

When I looked around, the only thing I could see was the darkness. Everything was in incredible silence, to the point of being terrifying.

With my right hand I touched my leg, and the only thing I noticed, apart from the most extreme pain I have ever felt, was the water-like substance, flowing through my leg, soaking everything around me.

Quickly, in a rush of adrenaline, with a superhuman effort I got up from my bed, and walked to the switch to turn on the light.

When the light illuminated the room, I realized that my life was over.

Strangely for me, I woke up in a forest, on the main branch of a large tree, perhaps the largest tree I have ever seen.

With my body stretched, without moving a muscle, perhaps I was still in shock from the strong impression of the same death, I began to look around.

The forest was completely silent, something that scared me even more. The sun gradually began to illuminate the forest, allowing allowing me to see. The first different thing I saw, apart from the huge sea of trees, was an immense city, located at what seemed to be about four or five kilometers.

A few more minutes, I placed my hands against the branch where my body was stretched, to try to get up. To my surprise, tThe tree branch was very wet from a red colored substance.

Getting up, I noticed that my whole body was drenched in blood, what surprised me was that although it looked like that was my blood, I had no wounds, or at least did not feel that I was hurt.

I quickly took off the shirt I was wearing and checked the state of my body.

Nothing, absolutely nothing. My body was in perfect condition, I would say I even gained some more muscle. I touched my left leg to try to find a hole or a wound, but everything was fine.

Suddenly, the part of my feet that was in contact with the blood began to emit a strange white light.

More precisely it was a light coating, which wrapped a small part of my feet.

The blood spilled on the tree branch began to move. Something very strange because apparently that blood had the gift or ability to not be affected by a basic law such as gravity.

Or thinking about it, maybe it was due to that strange light that covered my legs.

The blood did not stop until it reached the limit of the coating, leaving my feet in a crimson red color. I tried to move my right leg, making quick gestures to see if I could remove the blood strongly attached to my feet.

After a few more moments, I personally saw how little by little the blood began to evaporate. Perhaps the best term would be absorbed. My feet were sucking up the blood. In a few seconds later, not a drop of blood was left.

"Hell, what the fuck is going on? First they try to murder me in my own house, then I appear in an unknown place, without any sign of having been stabbed, and to fill the glass, my feet can be covered with a light and absorb blood . " the young man thought, without losing his calm.

(From now on I will start using the third person.)

Looking back at the city in front of him, he quickly concluded that it would be the best to head there.

"First I need information on where I am, also to see if I can get some new clothes, since I am wearing a T-shirt and pajama pants. - The young man thought while going down, very carefully, from the big tree.

Upon reaching the ground, the boy surprised himself with his excellent physical condition, since normally such an action would at least cause him some fatigue but apparently did not affect him at all.

This fact further increased his calm and confidence, in addition to being a person with great ability to resist situations of total stress, a skill gained in his old job, since from a young age he began to work and climb positions until he became the vice president of a very important company.

The young man, left the forest, and went to the entrance of the city. People looked at him, since apart from going in his pajamas and barefoot, the boy acted strangely, stopping every while to observe everything around him, with great interest and curiosity, making him attract people's attention.

Besides, the boy was handsome, he seemed to be about twenty years old, with a toned and healthy body. What stood out the most about his physical appearance was his long black hair, as dark as the same night, that reached his waist.

Another trait that made the young man charming to others was the color of his eyes. A strong green, which stood out even more thanks to the color of his hair.

The young man stood next to what looked like a newspaper vendor. And without saying a word, the young man directly grabbed one of the newspapers, and started to read it.

"This language is none that I have seen so far, but the strange thing is that I can actually read it. This is getting more and more weirder. " - thought the young man, while he continued reading the newspaper.

"Hey you, if you are not going to buy it, put it back in its place." - said the seller, with a certain threatening tone.

"Relax sir, I just wanted to see one thing, here you have." - The boy replied, leaving the newspaper in the same place from where he grabbed it.

He rebuked his way again, but this time he had a clearer idea of where he was. He decided that the best thing would be to look for an old man to get more information, since they usually have more time and patience to deal with strangers.

Said and done, the boy approached an old man sitting on a bench near a park.

"Good morning, would you mind if I ask you a few questions?" - Asked the boy.
