Death Mask
They walked out on the cave. The time in the game was still 1:35 pm meaning that the night jaguar was still around roaming but then, a window alert blocked Kris' view.
ALERT! YOU HAVE GOT OUT ON KARKAVOS' SHRINE! EFFECTS HAS DISPERSED.
EXPERIENCE NEEDED IN EVERY LEVEL HAS RETURNED BACK TO NORMAL
CURRENT EXPERIENCE NEEDED: 0/12,500,000
"Shit! Shit! Nooo!!!!" He cursed and cursed due to the window alert, he had thought that he could still use the remaining time to finish up Night Jaguar and reach level 300 but the downside was that it had an unexpected area restriction.
"Are you okay young benefactor?" Zando asks worriedly.
"Please just Kris, call me Kris." I cleared the window notification on my view and calmed myself.
"Are you okay Kris." Zando again asks.
'Why do I have to repeat myself, he had already know I'm fine. Oh! It must be his trait for being simple minded' I thought to myself while giving an expressionless look to Zando.
"Ummmm.... I'm a bit confused, ever since you have freed us on confinement, why are you expressionless, even when you talk, I don't feel any feelings on your face." Jeremiah asks with a worried look. Stan who was on his side clench his fist and wanted to hit Jeremiah's head again but he also opened up his thoughts.
"I hate to say it but I agree with Jeremiah, when we first saw you we thought that you were sad but when you spoke, we thought you had a problem with something but you didn't want to say it, we didn't want speak ill to you because you saved us but we didn't want to be plastic that we would just not care about it and now that we are your friends, we wanted to understand you more so we wouldn't be weirded out. If its some kind of disease, we will be glad to help you find a medicine to it." He open-mindedly said, he wanted to release the guilt he had on Kris if he wanted to understand him.
Kris had known this fact but he had kept it hidden because the traumatic experience had left a permanent wound on his heart: having his thoughts lost. That was why he had to go to a therapy every sunday to have this wound healed.
Everything he thought about when playing the game was false. When he screamed in fear, his thoughts would only think that he had made a frightened look but his face looked weird when not making any facial expression while shouting, his mouth would only move but the parts of his face wouldn't.
When he is happy, his thoughts would only say it but his face, not even a smile could be seen only an expressionless look.
When he cries his thought would only think that he was sad but only tears would flow on his eyes while having a frozen look on his face.
This was a very serious disorder and needed to be healed and if not, he would live his life only in despair.
"I am sorry but the reason to this is that I have a rare disorder, I can't make an expression due to a reason I can't explain to you for now and I cannot properly communicate to....."If he was to say "people" they wouldn't believe that he couldn't since they were also people but if he was to say that they were only artificial intelligence he would be banned from the game since telling the non- players that they are merely NPCs or people that only move according to the game's system was one of the rules in the game that should not be abided.
"....to people I don't like."
He blankly say it but then a loud roar screamed throughout the forest.
GRRROOOOAAAAGGHH!!!
"What was that?" Zando asks while drawing his shield that is the size of his body and a great sword that seems to be used as a two-handed but with his giant strength and muscular complex, he had easily wielded it.
The other two had also done the same. Jeremiah opened his grimoire on his left hand and a a meter long staff that had different gems embedded on its head. Stan also readied his bow, placing an arrow on the string, ready to aim at any figure that would move.
A black blurry figure appeared behind the bushes, only two shininh red eyes glowed in the dark so it was hard to tell what it was, due to the tall trees' thick leaves, moonlight cannot pass through the forest so making the place pitch black, Kris could tell who it is since its the only monster that would roam around at midnight.
"Due to my insight, I could now clearly see you, Night Jaguar!"
Its left eye had a scratch mark on it making him look like a bad ass. His overall body was similar of a black panther the only difference was the size, he was at least a human sized panther.
"Yes it is the infamous Night Jaguar that is rumored to only appear at midnight." Stan could also see it because of his sharp eyes.

"Taunting c-..." Zando was about to aggro the Jaguar but he was stopped by Kris, Kris had unsheathed his two swords and stared at the trio.
"I'll show you what I can do." He spoke those words that made the trio shudder. Without any expressions on his face, he looked very scary even Stan who had a very sharp senses could feel Kris' murderous aura.

Growl!
The Night Jaguar began nudging its face on the ground.
It felt very irritated and wanted to kill the person who had blinded its eyes.
Hooot! Hooot!
At the moment when the Night Jaguar's movement was greatly restricted, Kris struck two tables over the tree logs each siding the Night Jaguar meaning that the jaguar was in the center of the angle.
SPEED OF FLIGHT: 2.7x
Fwooosh!
Kris momentum after being pulled was very fast, he even thought that he was faster than sound.
"So fast!" Stan exlaimed, even though he had very sharp sight, he could hardly follow Kris' movements.
But for Kris, he felt like the time went in slow motion, he could see the jaguar crouching on the ground while its head was placed on the dirt.
'What the?' He asks himself, he couldnt believe what was happening and change his gaze over the trio.
He saw Zando's jaw drop, while Jeremiah couldn't keep up with his eyes the speed of which Kris has did while Stan had his eye socket grew wide seeing an expression of amazement.
While flying, Kris inverted his body horizontally.
He waited until he closely goes above the Night Jaguar.
He began to spun his body clockwise, turning the sword on his right hand over the Jaguar's neck, chopping it off.
YOU HAVE DEALT A LETHAL BLOW!
[-78,085]
After the Night Jaguar's head flew off, he was already declared dead but Kris again spun his body turning the sword on his left hand over the Jaguar's chest, slicing the blade through and then again, the sword on his right hand contacted the abdomen of the Jaguar cutting it off.
YOU HAVE DEALT A LETHAL BLOW!
YOU HAVE DEALT A LETHAL BLOW!

YOU HAVE KILLED THE NIGHT JAGUAR!
[+47,000 EXP]
Due to the fast momentum, he couldn't control his speed and slammed over a tree.
"Argh!" Kris stood up and stretch his back while the trio went running towards him to make sure he was alright.
"Did you get hurt?" Zando asks with a worried look.
"Its okay I'm fine." Kris said while wiping off the dirt on his buttocks.
"That was amazing! I have never saw something like that! Imagine shooting out an arrowed cable over obstacles and being pulled by it at a fast rate while spinning your swords and dealing damage! Just the powerful momentum itself is already difficult for a normal person to be able pull it off just like how you did it!" Jeremiah was awestruck, he was able to saw what happened because he had used a magic spell that let's him envision something that is hard to catch up with the naked eye.
"I never thought such godly weapon exists. Not even the best among the best of blacksmiths and forger could make a weapon similar to yours Kris! I believe it is the only one of its kind. The result of that action made the Night Jaguar turn into 4 pieces of chunk meat but be careful with that Kris, the difficulty upon mastering that looks very high so please take it slow." Stan advertly said, he was a person with strong composure and kind heart. He is one of those people who treasures someone who is precious to them and if you had a problem you can't talk about, you could lean to them and they will gladly listen.
"Kris look! The Night Jaguar dropped an item" Zando gladly gave the item to Kris.
"What is this?" It was a piece of black cloth that looked ragged.
"Could it be?" He was not uncertain of it but he had saw it throughout the internet so he had to check if his doubts would be true.
"Identify!"
