How are you still alive?

Dressed in normal clothing, Allyn did not stand out as he makes his way through the city...

"Please, help a poor fellow. Whatever you have is well appreciated," says a poor beggar on the side of the road. He, of course, is speaking to Allyn.

"I have nothing on me," says Allyn in reply. He tried to walk away, but the beggar held on to him.

'Damn it,' Allyn cursed.

"Let go!" He pulled his leg off and continued onward.

While leaving the old man behind, felons numbering in four walked over to the beggar (they are up to no good).

"Whoa, what do you have here?" says one of them as he snatches the plate filled with money that had been contributed to the poor beggar.

"Damn, old man, you've made a fortune," they said.

Picking the money, he threw the plate away since they will not be needing it anymore.

"Give it back!!" The beggar desperately tried to get his money back from them, but he casually got pushed to the ground.

"The hell is your problem? Can't you share?" says one of them.

Allyn felt pity for the poor guy, but has no plans of helping him. However, he had been standing in the same position for a while without realizing it, and these delinquents had noticed his presence.

"Do we have a problem?" the most fearsome one among them glared at him.

"Not at all," Allyn said, and turns around to walk away.

"The f*ck do you think you're going?"

Allyn is a potential prey that might be of significant benefit to them and they are not about to let him out of their sight.

"Staring at people isn't nice, you're gonna have to pay for that," says the felon. You can see his greedy eyes scanning Allyn.

"I've got nothing on me," says Allyn.

His words pissed them off. Does he think we are idiots?

"Don't play games with us boy, we aren't joking around,"

"I've got nothing on me, and you might as well return what you stole from the poor lad,"

"Huh?" veins pop out of their head and one of them went on an assault.

This action was unexpected, and Allyn was caught off guard…

NEW STATS UNLOCKED!

Martial Arts: 4

Combat ability is self-explanatory. In the game world, this would give a player the ability and intelligence to fight and defend oneself. The further their martial art stats increases, the better one will become.

It was unlocked due to the attack used against him by this delinquent.

"Not so cocky anymore, are you?" says the fearsome dude as he grabs Allyn by the collar.

"I owe you a thank you," says Allyn. "Thanks to you, I finally get the chance to blow off some steam," he added.

A resounding head-on blow from Allyn smacked the opponent right on the nose.

"Uuuurggghh!"

The poor guy did not find that funny, it was painful indeed.

"Damn You!" The others acted swiftly and out of anger, one of them smacked Allyn on the face with a punch.

Martial Arts: +7

Without holding back, Allyn received quite the beating. The more they beat him up, the higher his martial art stats increase.

He could adapt to the pain, especially since these guys are normal humans…

*Shunk! Ffffttt!*

Activating the Quick Draw ability, Allyn swiftly slits off the wrist of the first and stabs the second multiple times on the lap. In an instant, two opponents had been taken down. Their agonizing scream attracted unwanted attention.

Allyn felt immense guilt once he realized what he had done, this is amplified due to the scene, especially that of the guy who had lost one of his wrists.

"I'm sorry," says one of the remaining delinquents, "Please don't hurt us."

Giving them no heed, Allyn quickly exits the scene and walks away. Nobody blocked his path while he was at it.

.

Riding through a somewhat deserted land, three unidentified individual walks into the small city with their ride in search of someone.

"You sure he will be here?"

"It is the safest route, so yes, he should be here," the other one replied, but his facial expression hinted worry.

"Aaaarrghhhh!!"

An agonizing cry caught their attention along with everyone else who was nearby, and there they found Allyn, who had supposedly taken down two individuals.

Allyn is the same person they are coming after, but since he wasn't dressed in his Mage suit, they do not know the connection between him and disguised mage.

The dagger he had in his possession caught their attention. Without a doubt, this weapon is worth a lot. This added to their greed.

These individuals go by the name; Mylz, Laxy, and Vant.

Vant was the one who had informed them of their new catch, all of which had led to this very moment.

"Well, at least we can rob this guy," says Laxy, "Let's start with him,"

"We shouldn't mess with him. He looks like trouble," said Vant.

"Don't chicken out now. We can handle him. We will be fine so long we stay wary,"

These individuals are a member of a small group of pirates who prey on travelers. Those who work alone are an especial target.

They are also quite formidable, even if their prey is no normal human…

"We'll take our time for now," Mylz whispers to them as they tail Allyn from a safe distance.

Noting the fact that he's being tailed by a group of strange individuals, Allyn took a turn and in an instant, he is nowhere to be found...

"He's smart,"

"We should have been more discreet," Mylz bits his lips in regret.

"Do I know you?" A voice resounded from behind them. Somehow, Allyn had countered his stalkers.

"Stop tailing me or you'll end up just like those previous idiots,"

"Sorry, kid, but unlike them, we are far more experienced. All you have to do is hand over your valuable possession and we don't have a problem,"

Allyn's killing intent disclosed itself; "How about your heads?" he said.

Laxy pulled out a revolver, but he got slit from his shoulder down to his waist… Laxy dropped dead before he could take any action.

Allyn had used his strengthening ability on his blade, and strings of light shone on it…

The others panicked. It seems they had messed with the wrong person.

Mylz acted swiftly. He had already brought out an enormous gun. The bullet shot a hole in Allyn's chest, and he crashed multiple times before coming to a stop.

Allyn stood on his feet seconds later; "They had something up their sleeve," he mutters.

"That's... that's impossible," says Vant in shock.

"He should be dead," Mylz is bewildered. "How are you still alive?"
