Chapter 21: Metal Rogue (2)

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

An unknown figure walking on the streets his presence being non-existent was something Alex always dreamed of. Walking on the streets wearing a clock along with his spirit mask with a black katana in his hand was what he imagined becoming perfect with a wide smile under the mask, 'Now I just have to find a cool line to say.' He thought.

Considering the perfect line, a boy with red hair passed by who he felt to be familiar walked passed him in a hurry. Passing beside him Alex noticed, and a loud voice came behind "Stop." Some people rushed toward the young man their expression not being friendly. 

Ignoring that he started considering his perfect line, 'MMM.' he thought as he wandered into an alley. Before a shop that had a sign that said potions. The place looked old with rune doors and windows but he ended here without knowing, where he found himself. 'Where am I.'

He wondered when the door was suddenly opened and an old man with a scary look in his eye. His visage was quite handsome for his age with a physique that demanded respect and the presence of a powerful being that couldn't be hidden.

[Lv89]

His white hair and beard along with his red eyes that screamed death stared at Alex who was stunned at that moment. The old man said, "Boy what are you doing here." he inquired.

Calming down he smiled and said "I would like to check your potions." the old man didn't answer and signaled him to enter inside.

The place was covered in dust with a door leading beyond the counter.

The old man didn't say much and said "Check whatever you want." he said.

[{F} healing potion - Healing 75% injuries of an F rank.]

Alex was stunned and startled but continued to look at the potions.

[{D} healing potion - Healing 75% injuries of an D rank]

'Wow.' 

Healing potions could only heal 50% of injuries of that rank people needed higher-quality potions to be fully healed. For someone to create a potion that can heal 75%, that person can make a fortune in the market.

Soon someone came inside while the old man was cleaning the place, Alex was still staring at the different types of potions in wonder. "Mr. Hun." A young man with red hair and crimson red eyes greeted the old man.

'Hun.' Alex frowned 'That sounds familiar." he stared back seeing a young man around 17 to 19 years 'It's that familiar kid from before.' He thought listening to their conversation.

"Are you hurt." the old man sounded worried.

"No, just some little cuts, can I have that healing potion and stamina potion please."

He gave him a handful of coins which weren't gold coins but silver coins. Alex watched in silence, seeing the old man taking a potion from somewhere and giving it to the young man.

The potion he had was much more powerful than any other and it would be hard to even notice it which Alex almost failed. For a second a little color of purple appeared from the blue potion signaling it was a higher potion.

"Thank you Mr. Hun." he bowed and ran out hiding the potion in his bag. The moment he left the store the old man's sharp eyes stared at Alex with some hidden killing intent. 'The perfect line.' he thought.

"Those who have lived a horrible life always show a smile why so Mr Hun," Alex said putting a bag of coins. The old man didn't respond as he quietly stood there " When we hold only blood." inwardly Alex was smiling leaving the store when the old man responded.

"They see light and we only see darkness." Just chuckling Alex left the store.

Leaving the store he wondered.

'Was that cool enough and is that old man Hun.' he thought walking away. His attention in creating scenes of him using the different lines in the coming hours got him lost once more. 'I should focus a little.' 

He stared above Seeing The sun leaving he thought, "Wasn't our meetup time before the sun set."

'I should take the blood necklace at midnight.' he thought sensing a familiar soul in his range.

A place mostly called a dump yard with broken houses and dirty ground. Alex continued into an alley to find a red-haired young man who had been beaten unconscious with glass, Blue, and green liquid on the ground. 'A tough fight....huh' Alex thought taking his potion and putting it into his mouth.

The young man started healing from his injuries, 'I used a lot of coins in acting cool back then so you should pay me back.' he thought as the young man started waking up.
