First Tribulation

"Seems interesting enough, I'll test it later, these guards were too weak I doubt they had any good loot so I'll just check inventory later, that leaves me with map and quest log. Well since I just started this I doubt I have any important quests and I'm currently in jail so map won't help me that much, I'm too lazy to bother actually, I'll just check it later, now where is this dungeon boss?"

Maximilian continued walking through the jail, exploring it and trying to find the exit. Almost all of cells were empty, with those that weren't empty had rotting corpses.

"Do they even clean this place? I know hygiene isn't that important in jails but leaving dead people here is slightly over the top…"

Commented Maximilian as he continued walking through the hallway, soon enough he walked around the corner of the long hallway and chanced upon enforced wooden doors.

"Hey, they should put some sign above the doors so people know it's the exit, but this is the jail, there aren't a lot of people that will leave this place without an escort…"

As he finished murmuring he took a big step and kicked the doors sending them flying.

"Surprise!" Yelled Maximilian with his hands in his pockets as he lightly strolled into what seemed to be the wardens office.

He looked around and noticed seven people in total sitting at the table staring dumbfounded.

"Oh, did I interrupt you? I'm so sorry please proceed I'll just find the way out myself then." Said politely Maximilian as he continued walking lightly towards the doors on the other end of the room.

"Stop right there! Who are you, where are the guards from the halls?" Suddenly a big guy with thick black brows and short black hair stood up and yelled.

"Oh those guys? I've sent them on a trip to the afterlife, they were generous enough to thank me and offered me their armors and weapons but I found them quite trashy so I just left it to them, so you don't have to worry they went fully prepared." Answered Maximilian with a teasing smile on his face. "As for me, well you can call me Max, the good Samaritan."

"Good Samaritan my ass, are you mocking me brat? I'll send you right after them!" Yelled angered big guy as he grabbed his sword and charged at Max.

"Me mocking you? That can't be Mr. Bushybrows , I've been raised as good and proper person!" Teased Max as he sidestepped and evaded his charge.

Rest of the guards woke up from their stupor and took their swords and charged at Max together, but their fate was same, Max playfully danced around them as he dodged their blows.

"Stop running brat! ." Yelled the big guy as he activated his spell.

"Then stop swinging those things, what are those anyway, those look like swords." Answered Max with a smirk on his face.

"You brat, these are swords!" Answered in anger the big guy.

"Hey Mr. Bushybrows who is the warden here, tell me quickly I don't want to kill you guys I just want to leave this place."

"I am the warden, and you are not going anywhere!"

"Oh so you are the warden… Hmm then I'm sorry, change of plans, please die." Said Max with a laugh before he used his spell.

A blade of lightning emerged in his right hand with crackling sounds.

'What the heck is this, you call this a short sword? This is no longer than a stiletto you damn pixie!' Raged Max when he noticed length of his "short sword". 'Well better than nothing…'

With a quick sidestep Max dodged the incoming strikes and while red fuming warden tried to regain his balance Max made a few swings and stabbed three nearest guards necks and with a forceful kick sent himself flying backwards.

Max lightly raised his right arm and pointed his forefinger at the stupefied warden.

Thought Max and immediately after that ball of lightning, size of average window appeared above the warden and lightning smashed from that ball into the unfortunate group.

"Done deal, now let's bail this pla…" Max suddenly stopped his speech as he looked at the warden that was lying limply on the ground. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a survivor!" Said playfully Max as he walked towards the warden with light steps.

"Hey geezer, don't die on me man, c'mon spit out some info for me and I'll end your torture."

"Y-y-you *cough* freak, what are *cough* you?"

"Hey, hey, it's me asking question not the other way around, ask around in hell about me, there should be a lot of people who know me there, now tell me something juicy!" Said Max with his eyes sparkling as he crouched beside the warden.

"I would *cough* rather die!" Answered angrily the warden as he breathed his last.

"Suit yourself then." Said Max as he stood up and dusted himself and started walking towards the doors as sound of system echoed in his mind.
