A Dog’s Chase

"Arrrghh.."

Stan couldn't believe what just happened to him. With multiple arrows in his body and injuries all over. His blood is slowly draining from the injuries he has sustained and after one last bloody cough, Stan falls to his knees looking down.

"haa..ugh..ha..''

Stan ignored all the pain he felt as he struggled to breathe, which became stiff and uneven because of all the wounds he suffered. Meanwhile, through his unsteady breathing, a poodle of blood gradually forms beneath him as the blood slowly drips from all the injuries on his body and falls to the ground.

With gritted teeth, Stan lifts his head high because of the pain and anger he felt. Then with bloodshot eyes he looked at the individuals responsible for the miserable state he is in. His so-called best friend along with his own wife, to make matters worse, the so-called love of his life gave this ''Best Friend'' of his a kiss on the lips with a look of love.

Several people around Stan wearing armor or robes along with bows, staffs, swords or shields in their hands started laughing at the scene displayed in front of them, because Stan has only now found out that he was a cuckold for his best friend, Ian. who looked back at him with a slight smile.

"Arrrghh… IANNNN!!!"

——————————

One week ago.

Stan could be seen running through the streets of a town on the lagerst island, which is under The Earth Federation and also the headquarters of the former World Union government that was on Earth. The core of the island is owned by the so-called president of The Earth Federation, King James Lee Darwins. He was also the last president of the World Union Government on Earth.

The Earth Federation is basically the new World Union Government in Skylarr under a different name. The Darwins Kingdom is the headquarters and largest island that is part of The Earth Federation. As the largest island, the Darwins kingdom has 3 cities, one of which is the capital of the Darwins Kingdom called Asica. The castle of the royal family is located there. In addition to the capital and the other 2 cities, there are 7 towns and 10 villages in the Darwins Kingdom..

Near Asica there is one of those towns called Larnwick. This is where the Guild 'Radiant Light' is located and this is also where you can see Stan furiously chasing behind a dog with a mouth full of meat. The same meat Stan planned to eat after a long day of work.

'What rotten luck I've been having lately. There are more and more problems for the Guild because of Count Chen, the source who is causing trouble. all Guild earnings have slowly gone down and now even a dog dares to steal from me?!' When Stan thinks back about what's been going on lately and how this dog dares to steal his meat, black lines form on his head.

therefore you can see a man who is six feet tall with pure blond hair that goes with the wind, deep blue eyes that shine in the sun, a beautiful face that even men fall in love with and two pointed ears just like an elf's, running through the streets of Larnwick.

This man. no, this elf is looked at oddly by many bystanders as they watch a scene where the elf gets mad at a white furry dog ​​with a stick of meat in its mouth for trying to escape the elf's pursuit in the bustling streets.

"YOU FILTHY DOG, DARE TO STEAL MY MEAT!!"

While chasing the dog, Stan could feel the piercing gazes of ridicule and contempt from the bystanders on his body, when he yelled at the dog with visible anger on his face.

Gritting his teeth is the only thing Stan could do against the looks he's receiving, he just couldn't bring himself to stop chasing that damn dog. The Guild Funds of 'Radiant Light' have been tight lately and when he finally manages to get his hands on enough coins to spoil himself with a meal from that popular new street food stall, his meal is stolen by a dog!

The dog that was being chased took a moment to look behind when it heard the ridiculous elf shouting angrily. That pesky elf has been following it for a while now, just as planned, but he's now slowly starting to get hot on its tail. When the dog realized this, a strange glint of intelligence appeared in its eyes, which a dog should not have.

After a while Stan sees that he is slowly but surely getting closer to the dog. as a result, the corners of his mouth began to curl up, so a smile came to creep on his face, which widened with each step that brought him closer to the dog.

'Although I can't eat a nice meal anymore, I will make sure that I roast this dog's meat as soon as I get hold of it as compensation'

When Stan only has one last hurdle left to reach the dog, he reaches for his sword and speaks vigorously "Your time has come dog!! REPENT FOR YOUR SINS IN HELL!!!''

Just as Stan's sword struck down on the dog's body, something unexpected happens. It seemed as if the dog felt Stan's attack coming as it suddenly began to accelerate with a sharp turn in a different direction so as not to be hit. A little further away from Stan, the dog slowed down and stopped right in the middle of a crowd gathered that were waiting for something in front of a conspicuous building.

The smile on Stan's face got stuck as anger, worse than before, started to flare up inside again. looking at the place where the dog stopped and in front of whom, Stan couldn't help but scream in his mind 'Chen Mo! Was this you're plan, making your dog lead me here?!'

Without realizing it, Stan had been led by the dog to the person he hates the most. What Stan only now realized, was that the dog that managed to steal from him and escape was no ordinary dog.

It was a White Spirit Hound cub, that is a C-grade beast with a lot of potential growth, 'how did Chen Mo manage to have a White Spirit Hound as a pet?'

While Stan thinking like that, he didn't forget to glare at Chen Mo, who stood in front of the headquarters of his Guild, 'Seekers of Dao', and was surrounded by his followers.

When Stan stands in front of Chen Mo and his lackeys, he stops walking and looks at everyone. A vein is popping on Stan's forehead when he sees the smirk on Chen Mo's face. Knowing that it was all Chen Mo's idea to lure him here through a scheme didn't help curb his anger either.

"well, well, well. Look who we have here, if it isn't the Guild leader of 'Radiant Light', Stan, the very same person who holds the title of [Light bringer]. What brings a fine figure such as yourself to this humble abode?''

While slow clapping, Chen Mo decided to confront Stan...…
