Escape Plan

Since I only have around 5 hours till I should be ready, I should try to go out of this place and stay in a village, so that when tomorrow comes for me to start grinding again. I'll be able to start with quests in the village and not here in the wilderness.

Thinking so, Arthur started devising a plan. Touching the bars cell bars, he tried prying them open, and it didn't budge. However, when he did so at the end bars where the keylock was located, the metal bars moved ever so slightly, and this made Arthur excited as if he just bent this bar open just a little bit more. He could sneak through it and make his way out. He saw that there were no guards on the left side of the prison and so he should make a run for that.

However, although Arthur did see this, he didn't try prying it open as he did not have a weapon yet. So, he went to where the bed was and tried yanking the foot of the bed to use as a weapon. He tried everything, from scratching the metal through an edge, but clearly, that didn't work. So he just tried pulling and pulling on it. After 20 minutes or so of just pure pulling, the metal gave in, and it gave him a rod that is almost the length of a sword.

He tried swinging it around and felt it was comfortable and usable enough as a sword. So, he then tidied up the place, leaving the body of the kid there as he doesn't have a cloth to tie the body of the kid on his body. While he was trying to pry open the bar, a bell sounded. *Tring* "Go to bed, you f*ckers" someone shouted from below, sounding very monotone, however, with power.

Hearing this, Arthur put back the bent bar as he saw that some people were shining light on every room downstairs. He went back to his bed and laid down, acting as though he was sleeping. Some time later, someone shined a light through their cell and said, "Huh, this was the room of that dumbass who tried playing dead. Haha, what an idiot. So, kid, are you really sleeping or not?" The man was curious, so he opened the room to the cell and went to the kid; he poked the kid with a stick and said, "This kid really is dead. What a sad fate, should've just stayed home."

While this was going on, Arthur, hearing the lock of the cell open, was alerted and reached for the rod next to him. When he heard the man talk about the kid. Arthur suddenly sprung up and pierced the man in the throat with the rod. *Kuwargh* the man tried talking; however, with his throat pierced, he wasn't able to say anything. The man tried to hit Arthur with the stick in his hand. However, he wasn't able to hit Arthur before he breathed his last.

"Hmph, bast*rd, that's what you get for calling me a d*mbass and thinking you're some big-name talking about other people's fate," Arthur said and started removing the man's clothes to put it on himself. While he removed the man's clothes, he also put his own clothes on the man, while putting on the clothes.

Someone asked from the outside, "Hey Warren, are you done?" Arthur, hearing this, realized that the man's name was Warren, so he replied, trying to sound like the man, "Yeah, I'll be done. Just give me a second, I'm just gonna beat this kid up" Saying this, Arthur started hitting the man with the stick to produce the sound of him beating up someone. Arthur then carried the man to his bed and pulled the cloth from his clothes to cover his neck to prevent people from seeing that the man is dead and turned him over so that people won't see his face.

'Warren' then went outside, locked the door, and started going around the prison to finish the search. After doing so, he followed his 'buddy' and went downstairs; while going downstairs, he saw the 2nd floor, and when he was going down, he heard someone say, "I hope that kid Arthur is alright."

Arthur, hearing this man, remembered he sounded like William, his ex-commander who tried talking to the noble to forgive him. However, he didn't stop walking and just quietly murmured, "Don't worry, commander, I'll get you out there soon." "Warren, what was that?" "Oh, nothing, I just heard someone pray for a kid." "Yeah, that happens all the time. Haha, they really pray for others when they themselves can't even hope to live. What a sad life" Arthur, although enraged, didn't start attacking as he knew that would be a dumb decision.

'Warren' then followed his buddy to their room to rest. While resting, Arthur saw that there were some bottles in the room that looked like potions on the left desk, so he went beside it. His buddy saw that and said, "Oh yeah, the noble gave health potions and stamina potions to us today." 'Warren just nodded.'

His buddy caught this and said, "That's weird, don't you always say 'Hooray and Praise the Noble' whenever you're given something. Hahaha, has that stupid habit of yours stopped?"

Arthur, hearing this, just said, "Hooray and Praise the Noble" "So it hasn't stopped. Suit yourself; although they only give out 1 bottle and some coins, even though we're already doing our best here in the wild, they still act like they're giving out big rewards. What a bunch of looneys," His buddy said as he laid on his bed.

Arthur then just stored the potion in his inventory and laid on his bed; while doing so, he wanted to wait for his buddy to sleep and kill him. So he used the potions, and his health got back up to 100HP/430, his stamina at 20/41. After 10 or so minutes, he started hearing snoring sounds and assumed that his buddy was fast asleep and so he got up and brought out the rod he hid in his waist. And waited for his chance to strike, which would be when his buddy would show his neck for a straight piercing to prevent any sound from leaving. He didn't have to wait long as his buddy turned his body over, and seeing the right opportunity, he struck.

However, not everything went well. As he brought his rod up to pierce it downward, his buddy's eyes suddenly opened and dodge the strike. After that, Arthur got hit by a chop on his liver and collapsed to the ground. [-20 HP] After that, the man took Arthur's rod and started beating him up [-5 HP] [-5 HP] … [You Died]

As Arthur died, he heard the man say, "Hmph, do you really think I didn't notice you carrying that rod on your waist and your reaction to when I said, "Hooray and Praise the Noble." Warren really was right; you're a d*mbass. Warren never says that, and also, don't try to play dead on us ever again. If you do, please don't let the person who saw you go back. Hmph, thinking of escaping. Try again in your next life."

Arthur then realized that he was too careless in hiding the rod and also how dumb he was for being tricked that the man he killed would say those words when he got rewarded.
