The First Encounter

After lighting the signal fire the cavalry charged at the pass on full gallop. They expected to ride into a pitch battle roaring flames cover the Pass as the smoke of burning structures is reduced to ashes.

They arrived like a roaring thunder striking down from the heavens towards the earth underneath. They shook the earth with their battle cries. Hoping they would lower the enemies morale whilst raising their own.

However they weren't greeted with the sounds of battle the smokes of burning buildings nor the sounds of their enemies fleeing in terror upon their arrival. Instead they found them selves in a silent pass.

Their voices echoes amongst the walls of the deserted Pass. Without a sound left in its wake. They galloped inside the Pass with the gates opened wide. They hear the sounds of crows flying, circling the moon on top of them.

The sound of the crows echoes throughout the Pass.

" Caw, Caw, Caw. "

Soon they reached the middle section of the pass. What they see before them, shook them to their cores.

They saw the enemies they're supposed to be fighting laying in pools of their own blood feeding the crows. Their bodies scattered about on the field around them as they ride closer to the middle of the pool of blood.

There they saw the piles upon piles of dead soldiers. Their eyes filled with terror and fear. Those are the faces of people who died before they even realized what has happened to them. By the time they realized it was already to late.

Their blood gushed out of their body spreading through out the field. Before they felt coldness from within them then dropped down lifelessly into the ground. Next to the bodies of their fallen comrades.

This was not a sight of battle. This was the leftover bodies from a massacre. The troops could not stomach this sight before them. The horses were startled kept moving underneath their riders in anxiety. Their senses are telling them the same thing, which is to run, to get away from here as fast as possible before they joined them.

The Cavalrymen rode pass the massacre sight into the main building where the command building is situated. Gritting their teeth in terror as they went by.

Inside the building they met up with the members of the teams who were sent to the Pass before hand. Sitting together next to each other. They were sitting in the candle lit room, trying to patch up their wounds. And crying over their fallen comrades.

The cavalrymen asked them what has happened here ?

Xi an replied.

" We were infiltrating the pass as planned when the enemy found our position."

" We managed to kill them before they managed to ring the alarms or set the signal fire a blaze."

" However many got injured in the process ."

Cavalrymen

" Understood, then how many of your teammates are still alive ?"

Xi an

" Including myself, only about a quarter of the troops sent to infiltrate the pass are still alive and accounted for, most of which are heavily wounded. "

Cavalrymen

"Then What about the Commander, what happened to him ?"

Xi an

"I don't know, we haven't met up yet, and none of the men here had seen him since we left the camp. "

Cavalrymen

" Oh no, what if something bad were to happen to the commander."

Xi an

" If something were to happen to him then, we will be buried here with him. "

Cavalrymen

"What do you mean by that ?"

Xi an

" Think about it , our commander Jin Wei is smart, strong and cunning."

" If a situation came where he was slain, what would that mean?"

Cavalrymen

" It means there's someone or something which is capable of defeating him. "

" But how can that be, The commander managed to slay Chen Gong and saved you at the same time despite of his schemes. "

" He had taken the head of several enemy commanders despite their combat prowess, martial technique and even against several enemies at the same time without even receiving so much as a scratch on him."

" How could a person like that fall on a place like this. "

Xi an

" However if he were to fight against Lu Bu all alone without help, I'd be difficult or even impossible for him to win. "

Cavalrymen

" Not good, we have to go help the commander he might be in a perilous situation !"

Xi an

" Stop right there , don't go !"

Cavalrymen

" Why Captain Xi an ?"

" If commander Jin Wei is in trouble shouldn't we do everything in our powers to assist him !"

Xi an

" You think you have the ability."

Cavalrymen

" What do you mean ?"

Xi an

" If the enemy is strong enough to fight the commander ."

" You being there will it change anything ?"

" You'll just be wasting your life !"

Cavalrymen

" So, what's wrong with that !"

" Even if all of us can't beat the enemy we will do everything in our ability's to buy time for the commander to retreat, even if it means we all have to die today ."

" We won't let the commander die so long as we are still alive."

Xi an

" So you have the resolve to follow him till death then ?"

Cavalrymen

" Yes. "

Xi an

" Good , then we shall go assist Commander Jin Wei even if it costs our lives. "

" I still owe him for saving my life . "

" I can't just sit around and do nothing now, can I. "

Jin Wei

" I'm glad that my troops are loyal to me till the end ."

Xi an along with the other troops present in the room.

" Gasp. "

Xi an

" Whose there show your self !"

I walked out of the shadows of the night into the light illuminating my presence into every person standing within the room.

Jin Wei

" You were just talking about me. "

Xi an

" Jin you're back !"

( stuttering )

" Ehm, I mean Commander your back."

Jin Wei

" Yes , I'm glad you made it here safely

Xi an

" Yes, we've finished our mission. "

Cavalrymen

" Commander we have occupied the Yanmen Pass. "

Jin Wei

" Good Job, now raise our flag at the main defense tower to let everyone know that this Pass belongs to us. "

" It won't belong until our allies reach this place. "

" I expect this place to be cleaned up by the time they arrive. "

Troops

" Understood ! "

Cavalrymen

" Commander I have a question. "

Jin Wei

" Yes , what's you're name ?"

Xue Bai

" My name is Xue Bai."

" I'm the assigned leader of this cavalry force."

Jin Wei

" Okay then Leader Xue, what did you want to ask me ? "

Xue Bai

" Commander did you massacre , all those men troops outside ? "

Jin Wei

" Yes . "

As I stated my answer, the entire room fell silent. The were shocked by my words . As such a feat is considered impossible. They wondered how could I had managed to slaughter all those men, without them noticing nor sensing anything from me.

They're astounded by my feat. Whilst also feared me for my actions. Some thought I was not alone whilst I was fighting them in the dead of night. Others think that I am a natural born killer, with a peerless ability in Assassination.

They began to wonder whether they should keep fighting by myside or simply choose to get away from me to avoid angering me. Nor provoking me , because they had realized that they won't survive standing against me.

While the men were speaking amongst them selves. Xi an wasn't trembling in doubt nor fear for his life, rather his eyes were filled with admiration. Xi an admired my omnipotence in the face of overwhelming odds.

Xue Bai got down on his knees and started speaking.

" Commander, I believe your ability is unmatched in this era ."

" If you would allow me, to swore allegiance to you as my Lord !"

" It would be my honor. "

Xi an

" Allow me to do the same !"

" I admire you're ability and courage and I hope to follow you till death !"

" I only have but one life to give, you have saved my life and earn my respect , I hope to serve as your sword in your future to help you overcome your adversities. "

Jin Wei

( " Hmmm. ")

(" System , what do you think about this, should I accept them ." )

" From now on both of you will be my vassals. "

Xi an , Xue Bai respond in unison with a stern voice

" Understood master Jin ."

The moon sweeps into the darkness of the night then the Sun rises upon this Pass ushering a new day. The Pass stood tall amongst the plains it divides, stretching from the side of the mountain range to the northern river.

Not long after the Supreme Commander sent a message to me.

It reads as follows.

Congratulations on taking Yanmen Pass. By the time you receive this letter our army has started marching back to the Capital under our Lords orders. And because I trust you will return victorious.

Commander Jin Wei your contributions from your recent endeavors has been accounted for by the minister and the army strategist. You will be handsomely awarded for your efforts.

Xi an :" What's that letter your reading ?"

Jin Wei :" It's a summons order, I've been summoned back to The Capital Xu Chang."

" Its said that the other commanders had already moved to the Capital since this morning. "

" There's going to be an award ceremony there. "

Xue Bai :" Commander should we move out towards the Capital to respond to their summons. "

Jin Wei :" How many troops are accounted for within the Pass ?"

Xue Bai :" There is a total of 900 troops, 300 of which comprised of a collection of troops from Xi an's unit and mine. "

" Plus 100 troops who served under you directly my lord. "

Jin Wei :" Then leave the 500 troops to guard the Pass, take the rest of our forces to march on to Xu Chang."

(" Hmmm, something weird is going to happen I just know it. ")

(" Well there's no point fussing over it now, I'll went ahead first and meet up with them at Xu Chang.")

Xi an:" Why are you doing this my Lord, we will finish preparing in a moments notice. "

Xue Bai :" What Xi an said is true my Lord, besides travelling alone is dangerous ."

Jin Wei :" Something came up, I have to depart first."

Xi an and Xue Bai responded in unison.

"Understood !"

I mounted my horse and rode out immediately, full gallop towards the place the system marked on the map. After a few hours of riding nonstop. I've finally reached the designated area.

[[ Notice !!! ]]

[[ Host has successfully reached the designated area unhindered ]]

[[ +5 point ]]

[[ Answer : The Host is not the only person to reincarnate into this world ]]

[[ Some people was transported here , some whished to be reborn , some is sent here ]]

[[ This world is outside the Tutorial World , so other players and system owners will appear ]]

Not long after 4 figures emerged from deep within the forest. The first person to appear is a small figure, shaped similar to that of a child. Soon the other three figures emerged, chasing down the kid running through the woods. It would seem that the small child is running away from the three menacing figure behind it.

I activated my sneak and invisibility skill to get closer to them. As the small figure tripped over the roots of a tall tree standing alone in the middle of the woods. Turns out the small figure was a small girl whose even shorter then Xi an. She appears distressed at the fact that the three men had caught up to her.

(" System let me see their statuses.")

(" System, why are there only three panels that appeared ?")

[[ Answer : The Host cannot use the analysis skill nor the Eagle Eye skill to confirm her status ]]

(" Why , aren't all 4 of them players ?")

[[ Answer : Wrong, the three men standing in front of you are players while the girl in front of them is a Reincarnate ]]

(" Then what's the difference between the players and Reincarnates ?")

[[ Answer : The Players are people who have been transferred into this world with their original forms and stats . While Reincarnates are people who had perished in their past world and reincarnated here with a system like the host ]]

(" But how would that impact their abilities ?")

[[ Answer : The Player only has access to their stats and skills , While the Reincarnate has the system which has similar functions such as the Host's system ]]

(" That's a big difference then .")

(" But then why would they attack her in the first place ?")

[[ Answer : The players wanted to take her powers and make it their own ]]

(" Huh, how ?")

[[ Answer : By killing other players , Reincarnates and otherworlders ]]

[[ Especially if they own high levelled systems ]]

(" System pull up the Quest Window. ")

[[ Current Quest Players The First Encounter ]]

[[ The Host has to make a choice ]]

[[ What would the Host path leads to ]]

(" So I can do whatever I want, is that it. ")

[[ Yes ]]

Mysterious Little Girl :" Stop chasing me , you bastards !"

Dexter :" Oy, oy, Isn't that a little rude of you little girl."

Josh :" That's right we don't want to hurt you just come with us and you'll be fine."

Mysterious Little Girl :" No way, I won't go with you bad guys."

Bryan :" If you don't listen to us, we are going to make you suffer first, I'm sure the boss won't mind if we rough her up a little bit."

Mysterious Little Girl :"Nooooo ! Somebody help me !"

(" Considering my stats are far above theirs , I see no problem in helping her.")

I dashed towards her and stood tall in front of her preventing the three thugs from reaching her.

Josh :" Who are you, how dare intervene with our business !"

Jin Wei :" Why should I explain myself to a dead man."

Joshes head flown clean of his shoulders. Blood gushing out of his lifeless body. Dexter who was standing next to him dropped into the ground shocked by his friends death.

Dexter :" How ?How ?How ?How ?How ?"

Dexter :" This is impossible, this must be an illusion, that's right , this is just an illusion, there's no way in hell Josh would get himself killed by a nobody."

Jin Wei :" Speak for your self."

Dexter:" Huh."

I chopped of both of Dexter's hands and feat before he even managed to see what I've done. Blood gushing out , he screamed in terror before his torso drops into the ground lifeless .

Bryan: (" No, this is impossible , who is this person? how can he be so fast even compared to Dexter and Josh who specializes in speed ? No, I don't have time to think about it I'll finish this myself !")

Bryan:" Die you bastard !"

Bryan Charged at me using his dual pike. His speed is slow compared to the other two but his attack power packs a punch. Although his attacks pale in comparison to the other Commanders I fought, he can be considered lower to medium grade. However he is nothing compared to me. As I stepped back slightly to avoid his incoming Pikes. Suddenly a light engulfed his body, his movements became faster and faster, his attacks became stronger and more precise than before. His attacks even give of an aura of impending danger coming from him.

He managed to land 2 small hits on me. Which left a scratch wound on my left lumbar abdomen and my upper Right Torso. This caused a momentary stun towards my movements.

(" How can this be ?")

(: How did he suddenly became stronger ?")

[[ Answer : That skill that Bryan used just now is his Musou Skill ]]

(" By Musou Skill , you mean that so called ultimate skill in the dynasty warrior games ?")

[[ Correct ]]

(" System how come nobody had used a Musou skill before this ?")

[[ Answer : The Host is currently in Hell Difficulty Level , meaning the Host's Musou Skill is locked ]]

(" Then how do I unlock it ?")

[[ Answer : If the Host chose to unlock Musou Skill then all of the warriors from this World will have their own Musou Skill unlocked, therefore increasing the Difficulty Level further from Hell Mode ]]

[[ Does the Host still chose to Unlock Musou Skill ? ]]

[[ Yes ]] [[ No ]]

(" Ho, this would be interesting .")

(" So far I could beat most of the adversary that comes my way, with the exception of Lu Bu, meaning that most of the generals here aren't a threat to me. However with musou skills that could infinitely more difficult to grasp a decisive victory .")

[[ Host what is your decision ]]

(" Yes, Release the Limiters. ")

Afterwards circles of blue light appeared surrounding my body. The blue circles were seals that was placed on me when I was transported into this world . Now with nothing to stop the powers of this world from emerging . This Years will become a chaotic age of Battle , Chaos , War, Legendary Warriors with unimaginable powers will emerge upon the world.

The chains that's been holding them down would be released. At this moment pillars of light shine through the skies. Each pillars represents a powerful energy being released into the world. Signifying the start of a new era.

[[ Confirmed the Host can now use Musou skill ]]

[[ Confirmed the Warriors of this era can use Musou Skill based on their prowess in battle ]]

[[ The Host currently have 2 seals released ]]

(" 2 seals ?")

(" So I have to unlock the rest of these seals in order to use the true power of my Musou skill." )

(" Now that, that's done .")

(" I wonder what I should do about this mysterious little girl ?")
