2 The Awakening

Akira's consciousness gradually awakened.

What's going on… How is it that I have not died? I vividly remember that I jumped off The building, how can I still be alive! Somehow my body is not in pain… And I do not even feel the slightest discomfort? How is this happening?.

Akira suddenly opened his eyes and quickly sat up. He found himself in a patch of green grass, with a tree behind him.

[Wizardly world - Death count: 0]

"what in the fuck is this" Akira looked at the blue game like window in front of him.

After Akira asked he saw a new window appear in front of him and it contained

[Complete milestones to get rewards]

That's the only explanation he got, he scratched his head and said "killing people gets me rewards, according to this window, at least it lines up with what i want to do" Akira then got up and dusted off his clothes, he noticed that he was wearing the clothes he had before they were full of blood and were like rags 'these were my favorites' he clicked his tongue.

he then looked at his surroundings and found that there was a bit of smog around the place he was in.

the weird thing was that when he looked up the sky was clear with no cloud whatsoever.

A gentle smog rises from the edge of the forest, and the distant hills are smeared with a layer of soft milky white, and the white mist makes everything look mysterious.

Just as Akira was immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of him, he suddenly heard a sharp and bleak cry, which sounded very sad.

He turned his head and saw a white-skinned woman under another tree 50 meters away from him.

She has long silver-white hair with a shawl and a black cloak. he couldn't see her looks nor age.

'I don't know why, for some reason i feel like she is curious yet fearful' she cried very badly, she stayed quiet for a bit then gave a loud noise.

The sound is very piercing and it is particularly harsh in the quiet and peaceful forest in the morning.

But the strange thing is that no one has come out to discourage or ask about the situation.

Akira even had a strange feeling, as if only one person could hear her crying, because he didn't see any birds flying considering how loud the cry was.

This is too strange. He just wanted to ask where was he. The woman the suddenly raised her head and took a look at him.

What a face, blue skin, diffused pupils, and facial features that have begun to rot, this is a dead person!

Akira had an eyebrow up and couldn't believe what he saw 'is this what the window meant by Wizardly world'.

Unimaginable, he actually saw a woman who was dead moving and crying.

is it undead magic, witchcraft or something else?

Akira thought for a bit and looked at the corpse, 'does killing her count towards the death counter?'.

should i go with it, he looked for a bit then shook his head, the creature seemed scared of him for some reason, but he doesn't know much about the world so he might as well just deal with ordinary people until he knows what's going on.

As Akira turned around and left towards a human made path, this monster looking at him seemed very satisfied.

then it cracked the big scary mouth, exaggerated upwards, revealing an ugly smile, and a few mites fell out of it.

At dusk, the setting sun, which is slowly disappearing from the horizon.

Akira found himself getting closer to a village which had smoke coming from it, and walking he felt a presence following him since he left that screaming woman, the presence detection was a technique he used for most of his assassinations, he grew to a master assassin from all the jobs he has done, and he could hear the branches being moved by something other than the wind.

He finally found the village The one-story wall is covered with creepy claw slashes. he saw that there was a huge hole, 'looks like this is were the gate used to be' he concluded from the metal scraps around the place.

A beautiful sunset, serene and quiet that's the impression this place gave him until he entered from the gate he encountered a surprising scene there was bodies everywhere and some of them had claw marks on their chests and many wooden sticks near the bodies.

he then went inside a considerably intact and he found some new casual clothes and picked up a kitchen knife "this will do for now".

he then went out of the house while still feeling the presence following him.
