Chapter 1 : Not An Ordinary Lumberjack

Forest....This is where this story begins, a simple forest with animals roaming around and birds chirping, everything is peaceful and quiet until a tree starts getting sliced out of nowhere, within a second the tree falls down , turning into small wooden pieces. As the pieces ofwood fall onto the ground a man appears near them.

He was a tall and large male with red shirt on and black pants, his face looked calm and he had a quite small black beard around his chin, his hair was dark and his eyes where red too.

The man looked down and sighed.

"...another tree down....enough wood to keep me warm for a few days" he says picking up all the wooden pieces at once as he starts walking through the forest.

The man's name was Michael, he was a lumberjack that lived in the woods. But he wasn't a normal lumberjack as he had insane strength and speed cutting down large trees in less then a second.

Michael arrived near his home and put down the wood near the entrance of his house as his stomach grumbled

"....I need to get some food" he said as he left the wood near his door and walked in a straight line until he exit the forest

near a forest was a nice and packed village. Michael entered the village as all the villages instantly diverted theyre attention to him, they gave him weird stares but he ignored them completely, heading straight into the tavern nearby.

as he entered he was greeted by an elder man with a warm and welcoming smile

"I see you have arrived yet again Michael" the old man said with a cheerful tone, happy to see Michael has entered his tavern

"yes....I need food....please" Michael said as he sat down near a table and stared at the old man

"oh of course, give me a minute" the man hurried toward a nice steak and a glass of beer waiting on the counter as he took it and came back, placing it on Michaels table

"thank you" Michael bowed down a little and started eating his food

"let me guess....you got no money again" the old man said as he sat down beside Michael

"yes....sorry" Michael said while continuing to eat his food

"no worries, you gave me plenty of wood last time so consider this a reward for that" the old man said chuckling

"okay....thank you" Michael was finishing his food as he said that

"sooo...did you give some thought in starting a party and going to slay some monsters? with strength and speed like yours im sure your party would rise up the ranks and you would get a lot of money" the old man said trying to keep the conversation going

"no....I won't start or join any parties, I don't need money nor the fame" michael said as he started drinking the beer

"as stubborn as always huh? well i guess there's no point in convincing you anymore, it's your choice after all" the old man said as he sighed

after the old man said that Michael stood up and bowed down a little "thank you for the food, I'll be on my way now"

"oh alright then, I guess ill see you around" the old man said as he took Michaels empty plate and the glass

Michael bowed down again and left. As he was walking through the town he heard some village girls talking about him

"he's a lumberjack of my dreams, I bet he could be a knight in no time if he wanted to" a random village girl said

"yes, he would look so hot and manly in a knight armor" another girl said as she looked at Michael with a seductive look

Michael ignored the two girls as he left the village and went back home. At home he lit up the fireplace and went to his bed as he layed down.

memories of a little child in his hands and a girl appears in his mind as he shortly after falls asleep
