Predator, Prey and Past

" Hugh put Vick and your back and run with the other" Nile said as he did just that, while everyone was running we could hear the beasts catching up with us but we just kept on running. Just as when a giant cat creature was going to pounce on the group a bright red circle appeared from Niles palm while calling out a name and a bright red bolt shot out and immediately burnt the beast that was now rolling on the ground. Everyone saw Niles action and looked surprised while running in terror. " HOW THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT!" Pat running with his pudgy little legs asked and the rest of the group opened their ears to hear as well while running. " We don't have time for this, we need to get out of here first" Nile responded.

While we were running some of the guys killed the weaker beast while Nile tried to slow them down with Sand pit and using wind blades to cut down trees to impede them. As a beast was about to pounce at Vick and Hugh Nile slammed his hand on the ground causing the ground turning to sand causing the big beast to sink in it. The beast was stopped mostly by the burning cut down trees due to yours truly until there became less trees and we reached a cliff with a casm from the other side .

" Nile can you somehow get us across" Vick responded anxiously and everyone else looked at him with hope " I don't have anything to do that but i think i hear water from down their so let's jump" Nile responded and as soon as that was said beast roars started getting closer and you could see some of their red eyes glowing with blood lust. Just before they approached Nile shouted " Everyone JUMP" everyone including Nile jumped off and as we were approaching the water source some jagged rocks were in our landing zone and everyone except Nile closed their eyes thinking it was the end. Nile then immediately used the spell sand pit and when they landed on the rocks they just turned into sand and they finally were in the water safe from the beasts up there.

They finally drifted till they reached a shore with a cave nearby where they could finally rest. " Finally It's over, no more running" Nile sighed while laying down on the ground with everyone else as there have been a lot of ups and downs today. Everyone nodded their head as in replying but then Yao asked " What was that you used Nile, you used fire turned the earth to sand and cut down the trees and beast with wind from those circles from your palm" ' No shame in telling since it's not anything special' " This is what I've been researching recently It's called magic and those circle are called magic circle which helps corresponds with different elements to do specific commands" as this was said he showed a tiny flame in the palm of his hand.

"Can we do this too" Vick asked and everyone waited for an answer " You can but it's still being developed and it takes a lot of will power, are you sure you want to try?" Nile responded " Yeah" all of them shouted and then I started to explain the concept of the new system while checking the system logs.

' There's definitely a lot but I'll pick the creating herbs and Element Mana Crystal Creation guide and that's it no more for now' while Nile was in thought everyone was resting and he finally did too . When Nile woke up everyone woke up as well discussing what they should do when Nile said " I think we should just set up somewhere near a town and create a sect or academy, I heard it was just some money and having some land with a required amount of people" " That sounds like a good idea after all we have nowhere to go but I am curious about how everyone became slaves so lets talk to know each other better" Vick said while everyone nodded with a look of grief

" so i'll go first then,I'm the 4th son and I'm 16 now of the Flaire family and was kicked out do to my low talent in all fields, I was called bastard especially since my mother was a concubine that died when I was seven which then i was sold by all my brothers and stripped of my name" Vick said then who's next"

" I'm Hugh Glaines. I am 16 as well and was a transporter. I was sold due to an incident with a high ranking family just because when a servant dropped the goods I delivered I was accused of breaking it on the way and since I had no family I was sold here" Hugh Spoke solemnly.

" I'm Ray Kerk and I'm 15 until 16 in a few months I was caught up in a kidnapping by a gang when I was working as a waiter so I'm just unlucky I guess" Ray said with an unfocused look.

" My name is Mia Sils Im 16 and I worked at an inn owned by me uncle since my parents died in a scuffle between two , I worked,cleaned and cook but when they were selling me they talked about how fat i was and even when i was sold my worth was the same as a price for a meal" Mia recalled in angry tone.

" I'm Lin Qin I'm 16 and was going to go to a scholarly academy but was kicked out due to funds and my stuff was ad I was sold to make up the tuition I didn't pay the year before due to work related issue" Lin spoke while her faced flushed

" My name is Litz and I'm 16 , I was a hunter with my hunting squad but when we encountered two beasts we left but someone stepped on a branch and in the escape I was pushed by someone as bait but was saved by a slaver and was forced to sign a contract to save my life" Litzt said while reminiscing about it.

" Mines Shelly Pols I'm 16 and m village was pillage due to not paying protection fees for a sect nearby because they were over charging the fees, the raiders killed all the men after doing things to th women in front of then sold the prettier ones the kids were sold including me" Shelly suddenly became quiet.

" I'm Will Stones I'm just 15 and was a farmer with my family but i accidentally bumped into a martial artist one day and was beaten then he took everything away from my parents saying his clothes costed more and when they tried to retaliate he sn..anaped their necks and threw me in a caravan to be sold" Will looked sad and angry at the same time speaking to everyone.

" My name's Shane and I'm 16. I was a servant of some big family, they treated servants like shit and most were sold unwillingly because they incurred debts so they drugged us and here I am" Shane spoke monotonously.

" My names Yao and this is my younger brother Zor we were both 16 and orphans at an orphanage that sold people under false pretense to create a guise that they are the good people when we were about to reveal it we were dragged away by them when we were sleeping and that's how we ended up here." Yao spoke with a relieving sigh at the end.

" I'm Pat Steins I'm 16 and was the oldest son of the Stein family but that changed when i found my fiance with my second brother and due to not having great innate talent when the issue was found out i was removed from the house due to not offending my genius brother i was then known as a green hat and was later kidnapped and sold" Pat spoke while scowling his face at his speech.

" I'm Nile and I'm 13 I don't have aptitude for cultivation and lived in a small village with my greedy parents, my childhood friend and I were going out until she did the test and has an Heavenly innate spirit root for Qi cultivation and My cousin had an earth so they got together and for resources the village decided to sell some stuff for them to bring glory and my parents they sold me" Nile said expressionately and just turned around.

Everyone one consoled each other hearing about each other's stories then went to sleep but for Nile he was still tinkering trying to complete the task and even smiled at his progress.
