Chapter 7 The Nightmares Start

n

n

nWaking up in an unknown bed.

nArcher looked around and started to panic, wondering where he was.

nHe noticed a young woman in her 20s lying next to him.

nRecognizing the smooth navy blue hair.

nIt was a girl he knew all too well lying in front of him.

nHe went to hug her but was stopped by an invisible barrier.

nAfter that, she sat up and stared directly at him.

nSeeing blood drip down from her lips.

nSuddenly, the scene changed to a random street, and Archer saw her being stabbed.

nHe panicked as he rushed towards her, but everything changed again.

nNow he was the one being stabbed while the maniac laughed.

nWaking up in a panic, his clothes stuck to him with sweat.

nArcher looked around and realized he was still lying on the branch.

nHearing birds chirping and some beasts grunting from below.

nSitting up as he looked down to see a massive hog-like beast.

nThe beast was the size of a rhinoceros on Earth.

nIt was just rooting around.

nAfter he was done it wandered off somewhere.

nRubbing his eyes, he realized that he was drenched in blood from yesterday’s hunt.

nHe remembered he had eaten all the hearts he collected like a glutton.

nWhile sitting there, he checked his status.

n‘Status.’

nExperience: 350

/1000

nLevel Up: 5>8

nSP: 10>38

nExclaiming in shock.

n”I’ve leveled up eight times since I started hunting!”

nDeciding to spend the points while relaxing on the branch.

nArcher put 10 points on HP and Mana, 4 on strength, constitution, stamina, and charisma, and 2 on intelligence.

nHe felt his body strengthen as his stats increased, after it calmed down he checked his status.

nHP: 200>300

nMana: 880>1180

nStrength: 65>105

nConstitution: 40>80

nStamina: 70>110

nCharisma: 260>300

nIntelligence: 90>110

nHe got a massive boost from all the points.

nHis whole body felt lighter and stronger, his muscles grew, his senses improved even more.

nLooking down at the ground as he stood up, he hopped off the landing with a thud.

nWhen he hit the floor he heard a scream in the distance.

nWith his newly acquired senses, he could tell it wasn’t far away.

nHe ran in the direction the scream came from, and after a 10-minute run he came across a scene he was very familiar with. 𝘪.𝑐ℴ𝘮

nA group of five adventurers were fighting a group of goblins. At the back of the goblins was a shaman casting spells at the group as he was directing the others between spells.

nThe adventurers consisted of two knights, one girl, and one boy, a girl dressed in a healer’s outfit, and a Moon Elf archer who wore leather armor that covered most of her body apart from her midriff and legs. 𝑖𝘦.𝑐ℴ𝘮

nShe seemed to value speed over protection.

nAnd lastly, there was a tall and muscular human mage with a bald head standing at the back casting protective magic over the group.

nThe two human knights looked exactly like each other, blood-red hair, blue eyes, and milk-white skin.

nThe girl was slender and tall with hawk-like eyes, just like the boy. They wore plate-like armor that covered most of their bodies apart from the head and hands.

nArcher thought they were twins.

nThe healer had auburn colored hair and yellow eyes, she was pretty average looking for an elf, and the female knight was much prettier than her.

nBut he realized how beautiful the moon elf was. He couldn’t take his eyes off her.

nShe had beautiful brown skin and long silver hair tied into a ponytail that dangled down her back.

nA pair of red eyes that sucked the soul from anyone who got close and pointy elf ears.

nShe wasn’t tall at all, she’s about 5’5 and thick in all the right places.

n‘She’s beautiful.’

nArcher shook his head to concentrate on the fight.

nHe saw they were doing well against the goblins until even more appeared behind them.

nThe bald mage turned around and started casting fireballs at them to hold back the incoming horde.

nThe elf looked back and then covered the mage, shooting arrows with precision.

nThey were about to be overrun when Archer intervened.

n‘Let’s go.’

nPointing his small hand at the incoming goblins.

n‘Void blast.’

nWoosh!~ Woosh!~

nTwo Void blasts shot out and crashed into the unaware goblins.

nThe group of adventurers stopped what they were doing and looked towards the explosion, seeing a big dust cloud.

nThen a white-haired boy dressed in black and covered in blood rushed out of the cloud and slashed the still-standing goblins.

nArcher danced around wildly slashing any goblin he encountered while laughing his head off.

n”Hahahahahahahahah, die beasts. DIE!”

nHe had no real skill beyond what the old memories showed him.

nAlso when on earth Archer was learning to wield a sword as well.

nAs the adventurers finished killing the goblins they were fighting, he finished his goblin slaughter after killing the last seven.

nThat was until a fire blast smashed into the right side of Archer’s body, sending him flying.

n”Arghhh!~”

nThe dark elf saw this and aimed her bow at the beast who attacked the boy.

nShe released a mana arrow that flew through the air puncturing the shaman’s head.

nIt dropped to the ground dead, and that’s when she heard the knights coming from behind her.

n”Where did that boy go?”

nTurning to them while thinking.

n‘Did they not see him get blown away?’

nPointing in the direction Archer flew off in.

n”He flew off in that direction, let’s go check.”

nThey all tried finding him until a shout was heard.

n”Over here!”

nThe dark elf found him first and called the others over.

nWhen they arrived he was lying on the floor staring up at the sky with a smile on his burnt face.

nHe sat up quickly and looked directly at the dark elf and asked her name.

n”What’s your name?”

nThe elf narrows her eyes before replying.

n”That’s your first concern, not the fact that the right side of your body is pretty badly burned!”

nArcher looked at his right side and realized it was burned from his face to his waist.

nHis normally white skin was now pitch black and burning.

n”Oh **.”

nThe pain slammed into him making him lay back down again.

nHe was in agony.

nAlthough the healer tried to heal him, her spells weren’t working.

nThe pain started hurting so much more that he nearly fainted, but just as he was about to pass out.

nA notification popped up.

nRegeneration Learned

nArcher and everyone else noticed his charred skin slowly repairing itself.

nAmid the pain, he heard gasps and shocked voices, but he was unable to understand them clearly.

nThe pain subsided slowly as his regeneration kicked in.

nAfter a while he was healed, even his burnt hair was back to normal.

nArcher stood up under the shocked gazes of the others.

nWhen he saw that his pants and shirt were burned, he changed into new clothes.

nAfter putting on a set of fresh clothes, he looked straight at the dark elf and repeated the same question with a big smile.

n”See I’m fine! Now will you tell me your name?”

nThe female knight snickered as she whispered to the bald mage.

n”She has a new fan.”

nBut as they spoke to each other, they all suddenly got a panicked look on their faces and sprinted off back to where the fight occurred.

nAll of them except the dark elf ran back.

n”Who did they forget Hehe?”

nShe looked at him with narrowed eyes.

n”Why are you laughing? It’s creepy.”

n”Because they were distracted by my presence, you guys forgot your friend who was knocked out.”

nHe finished the sentence with a wide smile as he looted the seven hearts.

nAfter Archer was finished he turned to the elf and smiled.

n”My name is Archer a F ranked adventurer, well I joined yesterday and this was my first quest, but I got sidetracked Hehe.”

nShe looks at this strange boy who isn’t all there upstairs.

n”My name is Talila Ashmoon, we were looking for a goblin camp, what quest did you take?”

n”A wild dog quest, but so far all I’ve found are goblins and you guys”

nTalila looked at this strange boy and noticed his twitching ears poking through his scruffy hair.

nShe stares into his bright violet eyes.

nWith his messy hair tied up hair, she barely noticed the lumps on the sides of his head.

n‘What kind of elf is he? he is not a high or dark elf, maybe a forest elf?’

nShe shook her head.

n”What kind of Elf are you?”

nArcher looks confused while answering.

n”I’m not an Elf, my father is human and my mother is dragon-kin.”

nTalila’s eyes widened at the mention of dragon-kin then she spoke sarcastically.

n”You’re a dragon-kin, I haven’t seen one in years due to the last Draconic-Human war and now one is standing in front of me hunting wild dogs in the Forsaken Forest?”

nHe looks at Talila with an expression of thought on his face.

nAccording to the previous Archer, dragon-kin are nomadic people who travel across the continent looking for a suitable home.

nSince theirs was taken by the Salona Kingdom up north when they lost in the Draconian-Alliance war over 20 years ago.

nHis mother met his father when she was hired as a mercenary, then later married him as his father’s 2nd wife.

n”Well yes, I am a dragon-kin, and I am just doing my first quest when I stumbled upon you getting attacked so I thought I’d help out.”

nWhen the archer finished speaking, he smiled at her.
