Fated Encounter1

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!! LOOK AT HIM!!" yells hysterically Abra!

The rest laughed their ass off! Ridiculing and saying all sorts of humiliating and degrading jokes on top of Levon's bruised and heavily injured body.

While Tossin remained silent and looked at the scene developing.

Adonis. "…Oh how I wished I could step on his corpse! These damn rules…"

Abra. "Yeah shit! But either ways, he's as good as nothing right now. This humiliation will follow him wherever he goes."

Suddenly, Omar smiles even more maliciously! "...The rules say we can't fight someone outside of duels, but they sure don't tell you that you can't spit on their faces, right?" He rhetorically asks.

It took a second for them to actually resonate with that!

"Oh shit! Yeah!!"

"That's fucking true!!" says Abra.

Right away they get ready to dishonor his body even worse! But… before anyone could do it, Tossin stood in front of the 3!!

"If anyone wants to remain here on this earth, they better leave this place." He says, firmly.

The 3 were a bit intimidated and confused!

"Wh..what are you talking about?" asks Adonis.

Tossin does not repeat his word, and the 3 became more repulsive even in front of him!

"Hey man stop it! Our agreement is done and settled.

Whatever we do afterwards is none of your business. You said that yourself back then!" Says Omar!

Tossin lets a second goes before he gives his reply… "And I have changed my mind, if you don't want me hunting you wherever you go, taking all your lives and sending you back to the miserable streets you've lived in before.

Leave, now."

His serious standard face did not change, even though he is clearly threatening them. But it was enough to send the message and terrorize their hearts.

Their faces turned back from evilly happy to being frustrated again, and with that they went away with their looks on their backs.

As for Tossin, he stayed a couple minutes to ensure no one comes back as Levon was unconscious. Within that time frame, he regains his primary senses!

Barely able to move an inch, he opens his eye and finds his killer -or so he thought- standing on top of his head. He looks around a bit to see whether the others are still there…

'…This is…Aedificum. So the fight has…ended! I lost my conscious it seems… which means

Which means…

I…

Lost.'

Upon this realization, Levon truly wished he never woke up! He didn't speak a word, he played dead… Unconsciously rejecting any further confrontation with the one who caused his loss.

Tossin's time to depart has come, it isn't even understandable why he did this for Levon, but he just did. He left him as silently as he met him, without a word.

When Levon felt comfortable enough to move again, he tried standing up a bit or at least rest his back on the wall. He crawled slowly and helped himself sit with all his might.

His state is incredibly bad, the blood he lost is irrecoverable! His left eye cannot be opened or else it causes immense pain, his head already is buzzing. His legs have no lift left! Truly a hopeless state.

Levon checks his health using his watch telepathically. It Is on 4%!

But another important detail was added next to it between brackets, which said:

(This level of damage cannot be healed automatically or through traditional ways. A healing potion is needed to remain alive.)

It seems that Levon, cannot catch a break from these unpredictable turn arounds!!

At this moment, he let his hands loose and just contemplated his whole existence.

'…How? How is someone that much better than me?! It makes no sense… I haven't lost any time and even, purposefully chose fighting challenges to get stronger and left truth ones for later.

So, how?

…I thought I had lost my 1st life, but it seems I haven't yet… Was he unable to kill me?

Why? What could've stopped him?

My memory is distorted a bit but, I remember well that I was absolutely no match for his power…

Did he leave me alive, purposefully?!!!!'

Levon's pride arose from the bleakness of his soul. Two things he isn't aware yet of existing, but he is aware that this feels absolutely degrading! Yet, he cannot do a thing for himself right now.

'…

What will happen to me now?

I don't possess a healing potion, it was on the challenges list but…

Do I stay like this until somebody finds me and then, I'd be forced to accept the duel just so I can be killed and resume my 2nd life?

Is this really, what it comes down to?

Do I… even want to resume?

Was that old man, right all along… I can't accept that I'm saying it… or even thinking of him and his words. I am supposed to show him how wrong he is, how wrong all of them are about me!!!

But for some reason… I can't feel my pain anymore. My body has turned completely numb… all of it except, this part in my chest.

This part they call a heart.'

Levon again, closes his eyes… and collapses on the ground again! whether he lost his conscious, or slept, or simply gave up to the point he no more had will to move his body. It was not sure…

The notion of time disappeared, even more than it is already absent.

It felt like days, weeks…

Until he felt something touching his face over and over again!

Levon opens his one eye and sees this person slowly slapping his cheek saying.

"Hey…Hey wake up! What has happened to you!?"

The person was covering all the face except the eyes. And oddly enough, no name was mentioned on top to identify him.

However, what's written was: Assistant!!

Levon forces himself to move and gets again to rest his back on the wall quickly. Then says, "…Who are you?!

What do you want from me!"

The person gets up again and gives him some space, so he does not think he's coming with hostility!

"…Don't worry! I am here to help you."

'…help me? What does she mean by that!? Ah… assistant!! She's an assistant…

Is she… thinking of forming a team with me?' Levon thinks to himself.

"…Why would you want to?" he asks.

"Euuuh.. Because I need to! And why are you even asking while you're one the verge of death?

You're already a weird person… even your name is weird!" she replies, her way of talking is surprisingly spontaneous and very different than what usually Levon gets! He realized that.

So, he asks again. "…What's your name?"

"My name? hmmm I don't know if I should tell you… I'd rather keep it for myself.

Right now take this, drink it in one motion." Her watch suddenly manifests an actual little potion bottle and hands it to Graham.

He grabs it, but didn't open it, he's hesitant to trust her…

"…What's the matter? Drink already! Or…you think I'm tricking you right? That it's a poison or something… Well, as you like then.

My mission is completed either ways, though I wasn't expecting it to be done this way!

Goodbye now, weird person!" She immediately starts walking away in a hurry.

But Levon asked one more last time. "..Hey…Tell me your name…"

The mysterious woman stops for a second, then tells him. "You're really hardheaded, aren't you? Well, If we met again, I'll tell you my name." then, she adds. "…Oh! By the way, you need to get away from here cause some cultivators are following me to be their assistant and I keep refusing.

These men are like flies, so annoying ugh!!

Anyways anyways, bye bye!"

…

It was too much talk for Levon to think of another reply, so he just kept silent as she went away… Suddenly, he hears some footsteps and noises approaching!

He looks at the potion for a last time, and without thinking too much…He drinks it!
