Friend or Foe?

^What should I do? Should I try to talk to them? Do we even speak the same language? What will they do when they see me? Can I win against them if they were to attack me or can I at least escape?^

^I do have the 4 of the explosive rocks so I do have a way to get away or kill them. Yea, yea I can do this^. *inhale*exhale* ^Yea I am ready^ Liam get out of his hiding spot and wait for them to come to him.

After 3 minutes 4 people appeared before Liam. The one in the front was a middle-aged man, he wore heavy steel armor that had some scratches on it but was clearly taken care of and a great sword. He had brown hair with grey hair on the side and a well-kept beard with a scar below his eye that made him look menacing, he was about 180 centimeters tall he held a sharp and cautious expression towards Liam.

Slightly behind him was a young man around 17-19 years of age with a sword and a shield. He had black hair and an above-average face slightly shorter than the guy in front. His armor was clearly for a warrior just not as heavy as the other guy's but clearly more expensive. He had a brave expression although it failed as he was clearly shaking.

Behind the shaking manly man was a woman wearing light leather armor that had a surprised and interested expression. She was holding her hands up behind her head. Her hair was short and brown she also looked above-average. She had two daggers striped to her waist.

The last person was also a woman she had blue robes that looked quite expensive and a wooden staff with a blue gem on top of it. She had long blond hair and was quite good looking she was also looking cautiously at Liam.

They look at each other for a few seconds until Liam decides to take the initiative. He raises his arm in a wave and proclaims loudly "Hello there!".

"Umm hello?" the man in the front answers back as another awkward silence descends. "Who are you?" the woman in the back asks.

"Well asking for my name without introducing your self is quite rude don't you think" Liam's gears start turning at max speed thinking of the ways this conversation can go.

The woman frowns but opens her mouth "Alright I am Taki the one in the front is Choten behind him is Masayoshi and the one in front of me is Hana. Now you."(Japanese names meaning Taki-滝-Waterfall Choten-頂点-Pinnacle Masayoshi-正義-Justice and Hana-花-Flower)

^Japanese? But we are speaking in English? Alright then let's see a Japanese name? Ahhh screw it^ "My name is Sora". (Liam is clearly a man's name that's why I am doing this part.)

"Alright, Sora if you don't mind me asking where are you from?" The blonde continues.

^Shit what do I say?^ "From a place far away you wouldn't know of it" ^Good job genius^ Liam berates himself.

"Oh really? Then what are you doing so far from home?"

^Umm^ "Exploring the world..." Liam answers he can't think of anything else as he doesn't know what the world outside is like.

"Aha than you don't mind me asking what happened to your clothes or luggage?"

"They were stolen while I was sleeping" Liam lies Blatantly.

"Aha then what are you doing in the dungeon?" Taki continues asking even though she saw through Liam.

"The ground where I was camping caved in and I fell in..." Another blatant lie.

"Oh wow, you must be really strong to survive such a fall... I do pity you for your bad luck but... this dungeon belongs to the Yoshino Family witch means you are trespassing. We will have to ask you to come with us"

Just as Liam was about to back off a dagger appeared in front of his neck as a voice came from behind him. "Don't try anything stupid brat or my hand might slip"

^SH*T When!? I didn't even notice her??^ Liam puts a small smile on his face as he opens his mouth "Hey now I am sure we can work something out."

"Don't worry you won't be killed at least not yet," Hana says as she sprays something on Liam making him fall asleep.

"What a weirdo." Choten says "What are we gonna do with him?"

"We are going to use the truth pill and interrogate him" Taki answers

"Is that necessary? he only looks 14 I doubt he was sent here by an enemy." Choten asks "the truth pill is quite expensive after all"

Toki looks at him "It might be for you but not for us, and we can never be too careful."

"Alright miss" Choten says as he picks up Liam from now on to be known as Sora. With an apologetic face.

an Unknown time later in an underground prison~

"Should we really use a truth pill on him?" A man with a hoarse voice asks

"We'll use it... If we can't get anything out of him the good old way, and we can take our time since they didn't tell us to wake him up and they used a strong sleeping powder on him" Another man says with a Sinister grin on his face.

"Haha, you are right why waste the money" A sadistic grin appears on the first man's face as he grabs a bucket of water by his feet and splashes it on Sora's face.

*Splash*

*Cough* *Cough*

"Wake Up!"

A hoarse voice enters Sora's ears as he coughs out the water that entered his mouth. As a sudden force hits him in the stomach making him almost throw up. He looks forward with disbelief on his written on his face.

"Who are you!? Who sent you!?" Sora is soon berated with questions before he can even realize what's happening he once again get punched in the stomach.

He soon realizes what's happening as he quickly tries to explain himself "No one se.."

*Smack!*

Before he even gets to finish what he was saying he was slapped across the face spitting out some blood.

"Hey, hey keep it below the face after all he has a cute face we might be able to sell him to someone" the second man whispers to the other as he grins.

"Yeah you are right" he says quietly as the smile on his face widens.

Sora realizes what's happening as he closes his mouth and clenches his teeth since no matter what he says they won't stop. He knows he is helpless in this situation as his mana seems to be blocked and he was chained in restraints. The only thing he can do is remember their faces if the chance for revenge pops out.

3 hours later~

*haa* *haa*

*spit*

"Tch, no fun at all" the man says as he looks at the passed out Sora "He didn't even scream once. Is glaring the only thing he knows how to do" The man clearly didn't even care for the interrogation.

"Clean him up and hide the bruises, mistress said she wants to interrogate him herself. She'll be here in about an hour. Make sure he is awake by then."

50 Minutes later~

Sora wakes up again this time tied to a chair in an empty room the only thing in front of him is another chair. After a few minutes, he hears walking through the door on the other side.

Sora looks up at the door as three figures enter. It was Taki and the two torturers as soon as they enter Taki says "So you finally decided to wake up?"

Sora glares at her he wanted to curse at her but he couldn't as there was a cloth blocking his mouth. Taki hands over a black pill to the one on the left he quickly takes off Sora's cloth as he shows the pill down his mouth not giving him a chance to talk.

As the drug enters his stomach his mind blanks out making him unable to use his body. It felt like he was only a spectator unable to do anything.

Taki says "You two leave the room"

"Alright they answer as they leave"

"What's your name according to the status." Taki asks. She asked this as a test question.

Because she asked like this Liam's body moved on its own saying status. "status"

Name: Sora

Past Name: Liam

"Sora" he answers.

"Did anyone send you here?"

"No"

Taki frowns "Are you a part of any organization?"

"No"

"Why were you trespassing"

"I didn't know I was trespassing"

"Why were you in the dungeon?"

"I don't know"

"What?" Taki says with a weird expression.

"I don't know"

"How did you enter the dungeon"

"I don't know"

"What happened before you found your self in the dungeon?"

"I died"

"w.. what?"

"I died"

"Is this a joke??"

"No"

Taki frowns as she starts to get a headache "Alright how did you die then?"

"I was hit by a truck"

^what the^ "what is a truck"

"A heavy cargo transportation vehicle "

^A wagon?^ "Why did you get hit by a "truck"?"

"Because I tried to save a little girl"

"Just what the hell is happening??" ^Well he is clearly innocent and there isn't any way to Imitate the effects of the drug or to resist it since it affects the soul^

^We should let him go, but what does this all mean?? I want to know.^ But just as Taki wanted to ask another question Liam's head slumps down. This means that the pill's effect has worn off.
