Danger

"I need to hurry now!" He muttered as he made his way, rushing toward the direction of the village. Not seconds later, he saw a group of women and children fleeing from the village and to the direction opposite of it.

When their eyes met each other, most of them didn't give single attention to the boy and continued to run. But two of them, a pair of a woman and a man, both in their middle ages yet still looking beautiful, stopped in front of him and crouched down, while still gathering their breath they said to him, "Ai- Aiden… we need to run now!"

The boy did not flinch and with a solid expression on his face, while giving a nod, he responded back to them, "Uncle and auntie must be the parents of Ava, she's waiting at that direction. For now on, I need to look and ensure my parents are safe, I'll head over there as soon as I could with my parents later!"

They were surprised and smiled. The woman said at him, "What a good boy, I know your father taught you how to hold sword but still, be safe. We'll await you at the nearest city!"

He nodded at her and they both stood up and continued to run. The man, while still near the boy, shouted to him, "Don't die kid!"

[Ava's parents are safe from the danger]

He smiled and continued on his way toward the village. As time passed while the boy was rushing toward the village, he saw more and more villagers running for their life. What he did not expect was a single soldier right in front of his eyes, stabbing any people he could reach with his spear and bashing his shield the edge of his spear to those who fell to the ground.

The soldier grinned as widely as his mouth allow as he continued massacring the harmless villagers, but once he was done and no more adults were around, he noticed the boy immediately. Aiden gulped, 'A spear user… This might be a hard fight, I need something to distract him….'

He looked at his surrounding to find something while the soldier was shouting at him, "Hey kid! If you beg for mercy, I will consider giving you a painless and quick death! But if not, I will make you my slave and brutally torture you, slow and long"

[Acquired rock (1)]

The boy smirked before he ran toward the soldier, catching the soldier off guard as he did so, "Wa- wait, are you seriously tackling me with that kind of weight, hahaha—"

Double leg takedown, basically a tackle, charge straight toward your opponents, slam your shoulder into his guts, keep driving forward and use your head to push him off balance. At the same time, grab his legs and pull it toward the opposite direction.

What the boy did was no different. He charged, used his right shoulder and slammed it into the soldier's gut, then keep pushing forward. While at the same time, grabbed the back of his knee and pulling it toward the opposite direction.

Thud!

[Equipped rock]

The soldier fell down in and was confused about what happened just a few seconds ago. But soon, he was greeted by the sight of the boy lifting his arm with a rock on it and bashing into his face.

And in no time, the soldier was unconscious on the ground. The boy smiled upon him, sighed in relief and stood up. He picked up the spear of the now unconscious soldier.

[Acquired normal spear (1)]

[Equipped spear]

He aimed it toward the heart of the soldier's, took a deep breath, gulped before raising it on the sky and dropping it right into his target, 'Its long since I killed an enemy before… was it 50 years? 60 years? Whatever it is, I need to hurry!"

[Killed your first enemy]

[You lost 1 spear]

Without even giving the body of the soldier he just killed another glance, he continued on his way toward the village. Didn't take him long to reach the outskirt of the small village, but what welcomed him made the boy concerned over his parents, fire.

Fire everywhere, the houses, the trees, but what made him enraged was the bodies on the ground, 'Those soldiers… should I just… no, Aiden, keep your cool. The quest is still on, mom and dad are not dead yet'

…

Knowing his chances of finding his parents, the boy went to his house first, luckily, the fire hasn't spread to his house, yes. He then called for his parents while keeping his voices down at the same time, "Mom…? Dad…? Are you here? If so, answer me, please"

He was surprised when he saw the floor moving and opening right in front of him, but soon, a middle-aged man with a brown hair popped his head up and saw him, "Aiden, come here. We were waiting for you. We need to escape toward the other city through the secret tunnel!"

He nodded and dropped below. It amazed him that there was a room right under his house connected with what it seems to be a tunnel. There, he saw a middle-aged woman with a brown hair, "Mom! Are you hurt in any way?"

She shook her head and placed her finger on her lips, "Be quiet, this room is not that deep underground. Let's get going, this room is connected to a shed on the east. From there, we can continue our way toward the northwest and regroup with the others"

…

"Ah! Finally, some fresh air! How long have we been there? 30 minutes?" The boy said as he slowly closes the cover for the floor that led to the secret room under the shed.

[You parents are safe from the danger]

[Quest completed]

[Acquired training sword (1)]

[Acquired 10 gold coins]

He smiled when he saw his parents were still alive and safe, despite the village being attacked so suddenly, 'Maybe this is fate? Or god's will? Whatever it is, thank you'

(Nah you're wrong, I just don't want to make the story complicated)
