8 My adventure is beginning

Birds are chirping, the trees are swooshing in perfect unison. The sky is clear as day, with the sun shining down in its full glory. The pure green grass mind their own business with no care in the world.

This day would probably be a great day for the villagers, as they embark in their daily activities, in this peaceful setting. However....there is one small problem that prevents this peaceful day to be...well peaceful.

The problem is the fact that their are four corpses, with one being the heir to a noble family who is highly respected in the Earth territory and the other 3 being his guards, to make this even worse their is the lunatic that murdered them right in front of the village's front gate laughing like a madman...

If people knew that the same lunatic is the hero who saved the world many times, they would start questioning his sanity right about now and wander if he is even a hero to begin with.

Finally Jack stops laughing and is greeted with stares around him that have emit fear in them.

Why are they scared of me? I just stopped this guy from causing anymore harm yet they are so unthankful! Tsk this world may be too corrupted beyond saving! He thought.

Suddenly Jack felt very weird throughout his body as if he was starting to lose control of it then suddenly his right eye glowed, like when he got out of the ice rock, the four dead men aura started to come out and as if like a vacuum got sucked in directly towards Jack's right eye, absorbing the energy. Once it finished his right eye reverted back to his original dark eye colour

Jack started to feel energised as if the fight he did, didn't happen. Furthermore he felt as if he got stronger, way stronger then he previously was, this shocked and excited Jack.

Is this that soul absorption thing, Shana was talking about that makes it easier to get stronger. Though he wandered how he did it since he never learnt the technique...

Shana quickly grabbed his hand, before he could think and hurried back to her house then tried to close the door.....it was still broken from Jack's kick. So Jack froze the gaps like he did previously.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!" Shana wailed at Jack

"What happened mama?" Alice asked

"He... he...killed Renald and his guards" Shana exclaimed

Alice was very shocked that he did that without fearing the consequences of his actions but also felt delighted deep down as Renald, while her mum was sick would try to 'tame' Alice to be an object that belongs to him, so she deeply hated Renald with a passion. While in this delight, fear for Jack started to rise

"Jack you need to get out of here!" Alice shouted with worry

"why? I am the great hero" Jack said with annoyance. Why should I run, when THEY all should be begging me to not kill them for their ancestors mistakes! He thought.

Alice and Shana still did not believe in Jack's story but still wanted him to leave because he saved there lives and thus resulting in them caring for him.

"Jack please go, we will be fine, they can't touch us because of me as long as you are not here, they won't harm the village and can't kill you" Shana pleaded to Jack

After a few minutes of exchanging words with each other, Jack finally gave in but not for the village or his safety but because of the sudden realisation that if he leaves, he can explore the new age!

So after agreeing, Shana ran off back to her room and after a few minutes came back, to show Jack a small dark blue stone thats the size of a pebble

"Here squeeze this on your hand"

....

....

....

"Excuse me?" Jack said with surprise

Shana sighs "This is a beacon detector of sorts. If you squeeze it then a blue light like will be shown to you. It will direct you to its source which should be filled with ancient treasures. I have not looked for it because of my sickness but I do know its north from this village. Their should be a stone thats the size of a normal sized palm. It can measure your level and details since you don't have a mark to do that, its the next best thing. Trust me you should find it or you won't be able to visit anywhere without being captured"

Jack grabbed the stone and proceeded to go to the entrance where he killed the intruders. As expected the villagers backed away and now he was at the entrance.

"You can keep whatever those guy's had as thanks for the guide to some treasure. Oh whats this place called?"

"This place is called the 'the den village'" Alice exclaimed with pride

It took far more strength, then his fight recently, to hold back in insulting their awful village name to the point of wanting to punish them for daring to have a shitty name. Like whoever made this village had no naming sense!

...

...

Anyways jack proceeded to leave the village while Shana and Alice waved goodbye.

Hm if I am going to destroy this world, maybe I should make a list of people that I should not kill....hmm yea, I will place Alice and Shana in the list, Jack thought to himself as he was distancing himself from the village.

Once Jack gets far enough to the point Alice and Shana can no longer see him, they proceeded to examine the four bodies with the villagers.

They found a lot of gold in Renald's storage grid that could allow Alice and Shana to nicer clothes and necessities while also supporting the villagers!

If only Jack knew how much money Renald had and its worth since he wouldn't have nonchalantly allowed them to take everything they owned! He would deeply regret his decision if he ever finds out!
