7 Frightened Matt, Emotional Ashton

Ashton nearly felt his life seeping out when he saw the goblin running by him, not hitting, not even looking at him.

He turned his head around and saw the goblin smashing its iron stick at Matt.

His whole body froze. His mind went blank. All the dizziness left.

And with his whole might, he stood up but saw Matt kicking the goblin away and then stabbing its head non-stop, even when the goblins head was mashed up so bad that it couldn't even describe as the head. Matt still didn't stop.

"MATT STOP! IT'S ENOUGH MATT!! IT'S ENOUGH!!!" Ashton yelled as he hugged Matt tightly, embracing him.

Matt stiffened when he felt the familiar touch of Ashton's.

His mind which was filled with madness came back to him. He just let Ashton hug him.

He couldn't understand what happened. This all was just too much. They aren't made for this.

Killing, stabbing, fighting, stealing.

"W-W-W-W-Why did you rush to kill it? W-W-W-W-Why did you not wait for me?" Matt stuttered as he raised his head and looked at Ashton.

His eyes were red, moist. There were tears in his eyes but he didn't let them fall.

"I-I-I-I-I-I don't know. I-I-I-I-It was just. I-I-I-I-It was just a moment of the spur." Ashton replied as tears fall from his eyes. He tried to stop them but he couldn't. They just fell on their own.

"Y-Y-Y-Y-You could've died. T-T-T-T-That was not funny Ash. T-T-T-T-This whole thing is not funny. I only have you. P-P-P-P-Please don't do this to me. I-I-I-I-I beg you. Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You are all I have left. W-W-W-W-Without you, I don't know what I'll do. Please." Matt stuttered as tears fall down from his face.

His whole body was shaking in fear. Not because he nearly died. Because if he died what will happen to Ash. Ash will break. And he can't let that happen. Not to Ash.

"I-I-I-I-I-I know my mistake, Matty. I-I-I-I-I-I promise I won't do anything which you forbid from now on. I-I-I-I-I promise I won't rush. S-S-S-S-S-So just stop crying. P-P-P-P-Please." Ashton stuttered as he looked at Matt who was shivering in fear and crying his eyes out.

Matt nodded his head hurriedly and wiped his tears as he tried to smile "I-I-I-I-I am not crying anymore, see. I-I-I-I-I am smiling."

Ashton nodded his head and then hugged Matt tightly. The fear which crept into his mind when he saw Matt nearly dying in front of him made him nearly lose his mind.

His heart nearly stopped.

At that time, he just wanted to do nothing more than to take Matt's place.

He just shook his head, not thinking anymore.

He just needs to keep Matt safe. Yes, just needs to keep Matt safe. Nothing else matters. Nothing.

"Does it hurt?" Matt asked as he saw a big bump on Ashton's head.

"Nah, it doesn't. See, it's even stopped bleeding." Ashton spoke softly as he showed the bump on his head to Matt.

Matt raised his finger and flicked on Ashton's bump.

"Ouch! That hurt Mr. Nine-year-old man." Ashton yelped in pain.

Matt laughed "You were asking for it Mr. Eighteen-year-old kid."

Ashton smiled in relief when he saw Matt laughing. He was happy seeing Matt smiling and kicking him like always.

"Alright. That's my card. Let see what do I get?" Matt spoke as he pointed his finger at the card on top of the dead goblin.

Ashton nodded his head.

Matt picked the card. It was a golden card. In front of the card was wrote 'Crush it'. And behind there was a picture of a long beautiful sword.

Matt already knew what will happen so without any doubt he crushed it.

And out of nowhere, a sword came in his hand.

The sword was black in color, even its scabbard was black. But somehow the sword looked beautiful, out of this world.

Matt pulled the sword out and an intense pain rush through his mind making him yell "Ahhhhhhhhhhh...fuckkkkkkkk...….Ashhhhhhhh...…"

Ashton hurriedly hugged Matt and made him lie on the floor.

Matt huffed furiously. His breathing was rushed as a large amount of information came into his mind.

It took him time to get his breathing back to normal. He hugged his sword tightly like only the sword was his eternal partner.

Ashton worriedly looked at Matt but didn't say anything. It will take time for Matt to get used to this new feeling of getting this power.

He himself hasn't get used to it, so he can understand how Matt was feeling right now.

Matt slowly opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Ashton looking at him worriedly "Wow, I still don't get it. How can a person be this ugly?"

Ashton smacked Matt's head as he spoke in arrogance "Even if you beg god, you still won't be able to get a handsome face like me."

Matt just laughed. He looked at the screen in front of him.

Matt gulped looking at his stats. Normal humans have a status value of 10, but he is a kid and all of his stat points were above 16. How the hell was this possible?

Then he looked at the + sign. He understood that his real body stats were prior and the later stats came after he pulled the sword out.

He felt immense strength in his body from the moment he pulled the sword out. It was an extraordinary feeling.

Making him want to just started slaughtering those goblins, wolves, and awakens.

He just wanted to kill. It was maddening. But he controlled himself.

He lightly flicked his finger on the sword, don't know why, he just felt like doing it.

And the moment his finger was cut, the blood drew out, and like a hungry beast sword started absorbing it and a bright light shone from the sword.
