Chapter 2 - Desperation For Power

My throat is dry from crying, I don't think I can speak for awhile...

"Krr"

Looking up is where the spider enjoying the view of a person losing his love one. It has a vile smirk on its pricky face, and I just want to tear it apart.

"Y-You bastard!"

Gazing towards the spider that's hanging on its weeb, I kneeled down to reach my dagger on my right ankle. Without it noticing, I threw the dagger straight at its string of weeb and the spider fells down and tumbles, right in front of me. I didn't think anything and sprints to it with my sword pointing the sharp tip on it.

The spider dodge and I hit my head on the wall. The spider attacks, releasing its weebs and shooting at me rapidly, I got pinned down on the wall with my sword on the floor. The spider slowly walks in front of me with his fangs exposing, but with a smirk, I was able to get the spider close enough to stab it with a arrow head piece into his eyes.

The spider screech.

Reaching for my sword, I kicked it up to catch it. While that spider struggles to get the piece out, I cut the weebs around me and immediately rush to it. I scream as I run, the spider notices me but it was too late for it to dodge and my sword went through its head.

The spider completely stops moving and I retrieve my sword back from its head. I walked out of the cave, forgetting about my brother and the items that we have. I directly move to the orc's base to get killed by them. But obviously, I can't die without a fight. Can't I?

Their base is visible now, I can see their base as well as the orcs.

'Hmm, 14, 18... 32! 32 orcs are on guard. Ha! This should be fun.'

Almost every orcs that are guarding their base notices me from afar. They blow their horns and I started running towards the guards that are on ground. All of them attacks me, from left and right, I'm surrounded, but that wasn't a problem for me as I dodge every slash and strikes they give. I run my blade to one of them in the throat causing a huge blood lose and the orc dies, for the other one, I swing my sword at my best and cleanly separated his whole right arm from its shoulder, the orc screams and it didn't bother me as i continue to stab him through his hard skull. One orc however, is able to power punch me right on my abdomen, making it hard to breath. The punch was too brutal that it throw me across the battlefield and bash on to a large boulder. I struggle to stand up and my eyes are about to shut from battling.

'W-what happe- *Bluh*... B-blood?'

A blurry figure of a child enters my vision, directly looking at me with a smile.

*Listen here, If you're weak, then you can't be as strong like me.*

'Huh? who are you?'

It's a child's voice, very similar to my brother, but as I said earlier, I'm not dying that easily. I slap myself as hard as I can to get a grip of myself from hallucinating.

"F...uck...I can't be having flashbacks!!! I'M NOT DYING!!!"

I grabbed my sword and used it like a crane to help me stand up. All of the orcs looks at me and proceeds to charge. I fully get a grip of myself again and use my legs, I raise my sword, pointing at them. I run like a wind and use one of my sword techniques. As I about to place my right foot on the ground, I pressured it to maximize the power of my speed, once placed.

"You're gonna die in... 3... 2... 1..."

I set my right foot on the ground and dash like lighting towards them. They didn't have enough time to react and their body began to slowly separate to two parts. At the end, I menacingly defeated the ones on the ground, but they damaged me to the point where my vision is getting blurry. I don't think I can be able to fight anymore.

'Shit, at this point, I'm going to die from all of this.'

The wooden gate opens as 9 more orcs reveals their selves.

"More?!"

They walk towards me with their weapons hidden in their backs and hips.

Orc 4: "What a puny human, looking at you wants me to tear you in half and devour your head."

Orc 7: "Hoho, he's getting weak- Should we just end his life?"

Orc 2: "I'm impressed of what this bug is capable of."

Orc 10: "It's better if we kill him now."

Orc 3: "I would prefer not to, Angus would be angry if we do so."

Orc 6: "Seriously? Why would you be scared of that fucker? He literally forgot to name us LIKE HE FUCKING PROMISED 18 YEARS AGO!!!"

Orc 3: "Now now. It would be rude if Angus were to hear you badmouthing him."

The horns once again sets off by the orcs. The nine orcs who came out turns their backs on me as they kneel down to an orc with a skull mask and a cape.

"Angus!!"

They scream his name while maintaining their kneeling position.

"Stand."

The nine orcs stands slowly as the "Angus" one confronts me.

His height is about 7'4 and I'm only 6'1.

I look up to see his face but his already looking down on me with an eyes of rage.

"Well done, you successfully killed 32 guard orcs all by yourself. Very impressive."

"Getting praised by the leader, aye? What a change towards your colony."

The orc laughs.

"The hell is so funny?"

"Oh, my bad. I just find your species pathetic. Trying hard to look "cool" even if they're dying.

I smirk.

"Oh yeah? If us humans are pathetic compare to yours, then let's do a dual. The leader himself vs a "puny" human."

Orc 5: "Hoho, he has guts like a warrior."

Orc 3: "Indeed, he's confident about his skills."

"What a request, trying to die by the hands of me... Alright, I shall accept this dual."

All 9 orcs starts to form a circle, they equip their weapons.

"Nine of them will keep us in the cage. If you try to run, then you will get stabbed."

"Who said I'm running?"

The orc drops his cape, including his mask. Two orcs came out running from the gates with a big sword, they gave it to him.

"On a count of 3, both of you will fight to death. 1...2...3... FIGHT!!!"

Both of us charge each other, he swings his big sword in a horizontal direction, I slide underneath his sword, stabbing him right on his ankle. He didn't react to his stabbed wound and continued to swing his sword, I keep dodging his attack and it slowly making me exhausted. I slowed down by a second and he caught me with a big strike downwards, I didn't have a slight second to fully react and he crushed my arm, splitting it to half, moving to the side, I drop to the ground trying not to scream from the agonizing pain.

"Ha! Human, are you seriously dying right in front of me? If you don't treat that big wound then, you'll die from blood lose."

"Worried for your opponent? What a- *bluh*"

'Shit, blood again.'

"Enough talk, I'm going to end it."

He raises the blade above my head, about to strike down the blade on my head. After a while of looking at me, his blade drops on my me.

"I pity you human."

I hear my own skull shatters into pieces, blood running down my face, almost immediately losing my consciousness. My vision enters a state of whiteness, it's so bright, my head feels dizzy and the whiteness stretches as if I'm entering it.

I hear voices, two people, a man and the other is a woman.

"Oh look honey. He's about to open his eyes for the first time."

I opened my eyes, my vision is still foggy. Who are these people? As my vision slowly gets clearer, the face of the two people are...
