Chapter 3 : Crimson Charm Inn

....

Five years ago, a carriage with an insignia of a Scarlet Tiger brought a 12 year-old noble youth from the Karrion Empire to Silver Moon Academy.

The youth that came down from the carriage had an ugly, unwilling expression on his face. He viewed others with pure disdain, his bearing was extremely cold and prideful.

Not even one month later, as expected that youth got into a fight with someone in the academy and got badly beaten up.

He had to rest in bed for one whole months. Despite that, his character didn't improve though, instead he started to work harder and harder and pretty soon became the best student of his class.

He took first place in all competition and test, he was extremely hardworking but no teacher wanted to do anything with him because he was just too arrogant.

His frequency of confrontation with other students only increased and soon he overtook everyone but as time passed his hardwork betrayed him and he couldn't improve his swordsmanship level while the ones below him gradually surpassed him.

This youth was the previous Allen Styles, he couldn't take this humiliation lying down and his pride couldn't handle their derogatory remarks.

So after the end of the session in the academy, and the approaching graduation his personality didn't change much. So much so that even when he was circled around with a gang of similar year students, and heard their contempt for him, he didn't bow his prideful head and met them head-on.

These people who were just ants beneath him years ago were now challenging him! Allen's heart burn with fury and indignant feeling hence, without rhyme and reason he fought against them.

He was weaker than them and also outnumbered heavily, but he had something others didn't.

Which was fanatical demented ruthlessness, he single handedly fought against multiple people at, and above his Battle Warrior Rank and also successfully suppressed them!

The students facing Allen weren't ready for this fight. Their intention wasn't to cause a huge ruckus but eventually after being irked by Allen's sudden attack, they also threw all worries and ganged up on him.

The results were rather obvious, Allen received a top tier ass whopping of a lifetime for his troubles.

But ridiculously enough as injuries increased on his slim body, he became more and more fierce, agony stimulated his ruthlessness, the group of students looked at his bloodied broken figure and his fierce crazy look and they felt stifling fear.

No matter what they did, it wasn't enough to keep him down.

Eventually they gave up and walked away. Although students were allowed to have duels in the Academy but this has far surpassed the domain of a simple duel. Who would have guessed that just a few words of ridicule would tigger this motherfucker to fight with his life on the line.

This is the story of a crazy, stupid, valiant and bloody last fight of Allen Styles before his body was taken over.

....

Allen exited the academy and walked around the street for a while, looking at the hustle and bustle of the centre of economy of this continent.

He looked at people selling and buying various goods and items. People were haggling, kids were playing, some were doing the grunt work.

The previous Allen could never appreciate this, and weirdly enough neither did him. He kept on walking aimlessly lost in thought and just looking around.

After an hour or so, his steps halted before the entrance of an inn.

He looked up to see a wine red double door with a wine glass painted on top of it. It was called— Crimson Charm Inn

Allen thought for a moment and he pushed open the door, as he walked through the doorway which was wide enough to let two-three men go through at the same time.

It was four in the afternoon. This was the time when the inn was not very busy with much crowd. The main hall of the inn only had a few people in it.

Paying no heed to anyone he walked up the main bar counter and sat on a table, he knocked on the table and called out. "Bartender, give me your best stuff."

A thin and tall middle aged man emerged from the door behind the counter. Seeing a customer sitting at the counter, his sour face lit up with a hint of a smile. "Oh! Are you sure?"

Allen nodded and turned his attention backwards as he looked at the inner design of the Inn but inwardly he was checking this middle aged man, The guy just faintly smiled and started to prepare the drink. He had only one hand but what intrigued Allen was his aura.

The Old Allen would definitely not be able to distinguish it neither others, but Allen who has experienced many lives, however short they may have been helped to hone his instincts and observational skills.

Allen could faintly sense a degree of danger from this guy, he was definitely not a simple character.

"Here you go kid! This is the Crimson Charm Inn speciality — Devil's Breath Blood. Enjoy it, this has quite a kick to it." The middle aged man served an extremely red viscous liquid in a wooden cup.

Allen has never drank alcohol in all three of his previous lives. This is the first time he was going to. He picked up the cup and smelled it first with a bit of curiosity and caution.

*Sniff*

Allen eyes brightened because although it looked hideous the smell was very fruity. He held the wooden cup carefully from the slightly loose handle and gulped a sip.

*Gulped* *Gupled*

"Aaahh! Good shit, Can you also fix me a proper meal."

"Sure!" The middle aged man left and asked someone to cook some dishes. The cook behind the door wasn't very happy with the request since Allen is making them work at such an hour, disturbing their rest.

Allen drank the brew without much reservation enjoying the taste, while looking around the inn. This is quite a famous inn around here, known for good alcohol, tasty meals, nice ambience and sexy attendants.

Allen wasn't very worried about money, coming to a place like this because he was a top student for 3 years in his academy days.

The top title always comes with a substantial monetary price. He was also a member of an Adventurer/mercenary guild too, so he saved a lot from his previous missions.

Living in the dormitory is very cheap and the food provided is also very affordable, although the taste isn't very good but it's a proper complete meal.

Allen kept drinking slowly with an unfocused look on his face. He truly doesn't know what to do for now.

After diving from one life into another he was always desperate as his head worked in full throttle trying to find a way to survive and endeavor through, but now that he has achieved some peace of mind he is very lost.

As Allen was lost in thoughts a busty woman dressed in tight clothing which accentuated her curvaceous figure subsequently came out from behind the door. "Oh Hello handsome, so you are the one who ordered?"

The woman came near Allen with a big tray full of delicacies in her hand, after she saw Allen's long hair and fragile body she identified him as a noble and approached him.

In Aryana Continent, the nobleman usually has longer hair as it separates them from commoners, commoners are even forbidden in some empires from having long hair, although there are no such restrictions in Alwis City and people are free to do whatever they want.

But usually whenever in Alwis City someone sees a person like Allen with properly kept long hair it's easy to distinguish them as noblemen.

Allen also had the disposition, pride and a unique prestige around him which could be observed by sharp people.

"Hello my name is Riya and I am the head serving girl of the inn, here enjoy your—" Riya's eyes shone with a gleam and she approached Allen, although Allen isn't handsome with a very average look, his hardass lone wolf attitude is quite charming to some.

Allen looked at her with indifference, he was still lost in thought as he took the plates.

Riya looked at Allen's unfathomable eyes that had endless depths and stared at them blankly, her eyes turned lifeless. Her head began to spin and darkness enveloped her consciousness as she stood like a statue completely motionless.

"This is…" Allen had a slight shock and immediately turned serious as he slightly touched her hand.

"My God! Just now…" Very soon Riya recovered, yet she did not dare to look into Allen's eyes again.
