2 Not a Dream

'One, two, three. Ahmmm so there's five of them and one of me, huh, this is just great. This is just great.' Although Ginn complaints internally, no fear can be seen in his eyes. Besides all of this being a dream in his mind, he had also experienced quite a fair share of bloodied fights in his life, all those late nights in the bar doesn't always end up pretty. The large scar that almost takes out his right eyes can be a testament to that.

Seeing the bandits approach, He didn't just stay around and give them the initiative. Running towards the bandit in front, he attacked first, throwing the sword in his hand. The bandit didn't expect the enemy to disarm himself voluntarily and got caught momentarily off guard.

'Inexperience Noob.' Ginn smirk, seizing the opportunity, he landed a solid punch in the bandit's face. 'Bar fight 101: Everything is a weapon.' Grabbing a stone in the ground he cracked the bandit skull open before it could recover, killing him.

'Four more,' Not wasting any more time dilly-dallying, Ginn picks up the dead bandit's sword and rushes toward another bandit. 'Bar fight 101 never stops moving.' Using his enemy's shock to his advantage, Ginn manages to plunge a sword into yet another bandit, killing him.

"Fourth Brother!" One of the bandits roared attacking Ginn with his ax. "I'll kill you!"

"Kill my ass!" Dodging the bandit attack with ease, Ginn landed a punch toward his face, sending him to the ground. But before he could finish the job, however, he felt something hot in his abdomen. Touching it, he notices an arrow has pierced his stomach.

"This-" With all the adrenaline pumping through his veins, he hardly feels a thing. Grabbing the bandit by the head. He used its body as a shield as he rushed full speed at the bandit with the crossbow.

Pulling the arrow in his stomach, he tosses the bandit body towards the crossbow bandit momentarily blinding his vision. Using the opportunity, he stabs the arrow in the bandit's eyes, killing him.

"Ha, ha, ha, One more." Breathing heavily, Ginn looks at the last remaining bandit. In just a glance, he could tell that this bandit is a lot different than the rest. Although he dresses the same as your typical bandits, Ginn could feel a different air around him.

"Impressive, although you're not a cultivator you manage to kill four men with a match larger build than you. I couldn't express more how much a pity it is that you'll have to die here, you could have been a great figure someday." The remaining bandit said, shaking his head.

"If you're feeling like that, you could always let me go. Just take the girl and I will be on my way."

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I want to do that but you see, you kill four of my brothers. I must take revenge." The bandit said with a smile.

'B*llshit! If you want to kill me just do it, stop this bad guy nonsense.' Ginn grumbled to himself. "Can you just shut up?! If you're not going to let me go, let's just get this over with. We both know that you could have saved your brother from me if you wanted to."

"So feisty, I'm going to enjoy this." The bandit said, licking the dagger in his hands.

"Disgusting piece of sh*!" Removing his shirt, he wrapped it around his hands.

The two rush toward each other with the intent to kill but when they were about to clash the bandit stop and backs away. Unsheathing his knife, he burst out into laugher. "Hahahaha, You should have seen your face. Disgusting piece of sh*! hahaha."

Ginn looked at the bandit dumbfounded. Seeing this the bandit smile. "Don't be so surprised, I'm a cultivator, do you really think I would bully a junior. I'm low but I'm not that low."

"The heck are you saying, you just about to kidnap the young girl over there and you have the nerve to say you do not bully a junior. Let just stop the nonsense and get this over with." Ginn said readying his stance.

"I'm just out experiencing the mortal realm, don't misunderstand me, boy. Do you really think if I wanted to kidnap the girl, you could stop me?" The bandit expression suddenly turns serious, releasing his aura.

"Whhhaaat-" Ginn immediately felt suffocated. He fell to his knees, gasping for air.

"You see boy, you're just an ant to me," The bandit said, pulling Ginn by the hair and lifting him.

"Ant my ass, phe!" Giving it everything he has, Ginn manages to squish out a drop of saliva and send it to the bandit's face. "Ha- ha-haha"

Looking at Ginn laughing stupidly while close to the dead door, the bandit didn't know what to think. 'Is he brave or just stupid?' He thought dumbfounded, he had no idea that what Ginn has is neither courage nor a loose screw. He just genuinely believes that everything that's happening to him right now is just a dream and he would wake up the moment he dies.

The bandit let go of Ginn and retracted his pressure. "I like your spirit kid. If not for the promise I made, I would love to make you my disciple. Tell me is there anything you want."

By this moment Ginn's consciousness is halfway out the window but he still manages to squeeze a world out of his mouth. "Li- Liquor!"

"Liquor?" Hearing his answer the bandit once again became dumbfounded. "You really are a weird kid." The bandit said taking out a jade ring and giving it to Ginn.

"I don't really love liquor so I don't have much but I do keep some. I'll just give you everything I have. Although the space in that ring is only five-meter, I was told that it was great for storing alcohol. You could have that also and this-." The bandit was about fish out some sort of medalion when he notices that Ginn was already unconscious.

Scratching his chin, the bandit enters into deep thought. "I would like to recommend this guy to the sect but it seems that he would not be a fit for those strict old men and might just cause troubles. Oh well, I guess this is where our destiny ends. I really can't believe I Yan Di would find something interesting in the mortal realm hahaha, Life is truly mysterious." With that note the bandit dress Yan Di vanishes, leaving Ginn and the girl behind.

…..

"Ahh, so soft," Ginn mumbles. 'Soft, I don't remember buying a new pillow.' Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the girl from before looking at him with passionate eyes.

'No, no, no, no. This can't be happening, this can't be happening.' He immediately sat up and looked at his clothes. 'Robe?'

"Sorry, savior, I took it upon myself the liberty of changing your clothes. I hope I didn't offend you." The girl said shyly.

Ginn unconsciously looked at the girl with his eyes still shocked by everything that's transpired. 'This can't be real. I got transported to another world, Is that possible?'

The girl mistook Ginn's look as being angry at her so immediately bow. "Sorry savior, I really didn't mean to implicate you of my troubles and I'm very thankful for you saving my life. If there is anything I can give you, I'm more than willing to comply" She said, slowly undressing her clothes, although she was not the kind of girl who would do something like this, the other party did indeed save her life and after seeing his well-toned body, she can't help herself but thirst for it.

Ginn notices what the girl is trying to do and stop her. 'The heck is wrong with this chick.' "A liquor would be fine."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief knowing her savior is not that kind of person but she can't help but feel a pain in her chest that she could not understand. She knocks at the carriage and a man walks by. "Can you please bring out our best set of wine for our guest?"

"Right, away my lady." The man said with a bow.

The girl nodded and looked at Ginn with affection. "Saviour, the wine would be here shortly."

"Ah- Alright." Ginn looked at the girl puzzled 'Why the heck is she looking at me like that? I know my looks and I have a fair share of experience trying to eat a swan and is not very good.'

Ginn's heart suddenly aches as he remembers his past love-life. 'What the heck is wrong with me? This is not time to be thinking of girls. There is a more pressing matter to take care of.' With that note his stomach suddenly turned upside down, the notion of him killing a human being is starting to sink in. Although he's been in numerous bloodied fights before, it never resulted in someone being killed. "Bwaaah"

"Savior are you alright!" The girl said worriedly.

'Chill! Ginn! Chill! This is a fantasy world, killing is legal. The heck that's not the issue here, the thing is I killed someone with these hands' Ginn stares at his shaking hands with horror, the scene from before starts playing through his head in repeat, suffocating him.

At this moment the man from before returns with wine in his hand.

"My lady," He said, handing the wine to the girl but the girl is unhappy and burst into anger. "Can you see this isn't the best time for that?" She yelled wanting to dismiss the attendant but before the attendant could leave, Ginn arrived right in front of him like a bolt of lightning snatching the wine in his hands.

"You-" The attendant was about to repute but seeing the girl glaring at him, he turned tail and ran.

The smell of alcohol has washed away the doubt and guilt that Ginn has. For an alcoholic like him, there's really no medicine better than alcohol. 'I guess it doesn't really matter if this is a dream or not. With liquor, I could just drink all my troubles away.'
