Escape (Part 3)

An unknown dark alley in the slum in an unknown city.

"Arg" Alex let out a small cry as he was using the wall to hold himself up. 'Damn this hurt.' he said, holding his belly as he tried to look at his wound. Looking down he could see his bloody hand and the ugly wound.

"Are you alright?" She asks worriedly.

He nodded to answer her "Really?"

During the escape even though he was under the cover of the slave in the last step a ragtag group of guards tried to stop them by forming a line to block them.

Grabbing the girl's hand he placed his shirt into her palm As the slaves were in front of them he took the time to scan the guards and as expected most of them had skulls over their head meaning that they were higher level than him and that it would be harder to kill them.

But with the help of slaves how would have done anything for their freedom rushed the guards, some pick up weapons while others pick up random stuff like a cup or table leg for example all running toward the guards of course with their superior skill a carnage was about to take place.

As everyone was distracted nobody paid attention to a small child or two sneaking around so taking full advantage of this he sneaked to one of the weaker guards and made use of his skill. He proceeded to grab him by the hand and pull him toward himself, turned him around, and slid his throat.

Upon creating this gap a few people immediately took the opportunity and started running away but not wanting to take any chance Alex also assassinated another one immediately after all hell broke loose after getting past the guard the slaves started running to every direction.

'I really succeed' he thought as he ran away, still making sure to follow a group of people

"You filly slave dare to rebel." A loud and dominating voice sounded. At first, Alex did worry about it, that is until he received a warning from the system informing him of an incoming range attack. Not wasting any time Alex effected his escape more dropping to the ground to his left make roll then flip himself up will also backing away. As he was mid flip he realized something, she was still in the path of the incoming attack. Upon landing, he could see a light arc coming toward them in the corner of his eyes.

Sprinting toward her he grabbed her arm and tried to pull her away but halfway through he realized that they weren't going to make it. So in an act of selflessness, he pushed her out of the attack range while turning around to try to activate his defensive move. As the sword light swept through the crowd, cutting people and stuff sadly he was too late, luckily he was at the edge resulting in a cut along his belly.

As he let out a cry and fell into the floor he forced himself to look behind where he discovered a one-eyed man who was currently holding a huge sword. 'Fuck' Not wasting any time he got up while placing his hand on the injury, trying to stop the bleeding he use the other one to pull her up then quickly flee in an alley. Finally resulting in his current situation.

As they stay in more than 10 seconds of silence. "It seems that you were injured." A voice sounded as an old man walked out of the shadows toward him. Alex had long seen him coming even so he decided to threatening him, so pointing the spearhead toward him he made a fierce look.

"Wait, relax, don't worry I only came to thank you for saving me and repay the favor.

"..."

"Hmm, If you stay here you will be discovered by the guards, I know a place for us to hid.'' To be truthful Alex didn't worry about the guard discovering him as his injuries were currently healed. You may ask why it took so long. Simple, the injury was that grave, and second, he had to get out of the range of enemies before he started healing. 'Thank God for the gamer body.'

Suddenly they could here step with some light approaching them. "They are coming." the old man said, scared.

"Decide fast!"

"..."

"Hmm, you..you can trust him he helped me previously."

As the second past in quiet Alex was thinking. He had a chance to learn from the old man about this world as by his age he should have lived through a lot But he didn't know whether to trust him or not. Going by the little memories he gained from his previous self it was clear that this world was dangerous, nobody should be thrust, not even your parents.

In the deepest part of the slum, inside an old and abandoned house.

Welcome to my humble house, the old man said as he kicked a few things away. Squatting down he produced a little flame and lit a lamp. Yeah, Alex had decided to follow him as he believed that he could take care of whatever plan of the old man.

"Hehehe. thanks for saving me, kids."

"I didn't do much but, " she said looking toward Alex.

Not wasting any time Alex wrote something in the ground. [Where are we?]

"Oh hmm, we are in the city of Limerest."

So before I progress I need you guys to decide the name of the girl that was with him from the beginning. Also as much as I like to write chapters, read comments, and review I have to slow down a bit now that college started for me. So the more support the story gets the more I will try to write a chapter. The story with the most comments gets updated first.
