Waking Up.

SLASH!

[You have aquired 18 XP]

The wolf's eyes slowly lost its light, while his remaining body turned into blue particles.

August suddenly felt tired and unbearable pain coursing through his body. His eyelids seemed sleppy and tried to close its own, but he tried his very best to stay awake, being unconsciousness without any protection in the wilderness is biggest mistake ever. But sadly, the exchaustion took over him... But before he fully fainted, he heard a voice saying; "What happened to him!"

...

"Arghh~" August groaned in pain, he felt he was lying on something soft. He probably got kicked out of the game, lying on his soft bed.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw something, no someone's face. It blurry, yet you could see the beautiful face of a woman with long hair.

"Hmm~ what a beautiful face.." August muttered.

"Hmm.. did the face become red?"

Slowly, the blurred face became clearer, and he got the shock of his life.

"Lu-na?" August stuttered. But before he could say another word, a fist hit his face.

"Argghh~" August groaned.

He tried to get up, but the stinging pain made it unbearable even with decrease in pain sensor. He opted then to sit and stare at the woman in front him.

He remembered that he lied on something soft, then he quickly glanced at her legs. But unluckily he was caught.

"You- Why are you staring at my legs!" Luna shouted with a red face.

"Huh no no. I never did." August replied shamelessy.

"Bastard." Luna gritted her teeth.

"I saved your life dumbass, you fainted in the middle of nowhere, you would've been eaten by some monsters when you were out.."

"Hmm, thank you?" August said.

'I fainted after a killed that demonic monster..'

"Atleast you can thank someones help."

"Yeah yeah." August said, then he looked around and found that they were still in Ten Ton Mountain area, except there were trees and bushes around.

'Hmm. Did she carry me to the forest side..'

"What happened to cause you to faint?" Luna suddenly asked.

"I was battling a strong monster. I just got tired and got passed out"

"Makes sense."

"How long was I out for?"

"Hmm.. I think around one hour."

"Ahh..." August queitly said. 'Seraphine, are you there?' August said in his mind.

'Yes, I'm here.'

'Good.'

'Do you know why a demonic monster is doing here?' Seraphine suddenly asked, because she got a gut feeling that her companion knew the reason.

'Ahh.. yes I know..' August regretfully said. He knew it would be better to say it now, then twist the truth. Either way, it would be better to tell atleast some truths than lie about his existence about being regressed.

'There is actually a Demonic Mage here, that is currently busy doing a Demonic Ritual, that's why I think there a Demonic Monsters. They are probably guarding or became infected or something..'

'No way..' Seraphine said speechlessy.

'How do you know all of that'

'I'm just smart' August said and shrugged his shoulders like it was nothing.

Seraphine just stared blanky at his face for a few seconds, before shaking her small head multiple times.

'He is not ordinary'

After that short talk, August suddenly stared at Luna, and thought for a moment and just a few seconds later. He decided upon his thoughts.

"Luna.. And your fairy companion." August suddenly said while staring between Luna and somewhere beside her.

"What." Luna could only reply with one word. She was suprised and shocked.

Suddenly out of nowhere, a figure materialized beside her. The figure was small, it had light green hair with a few strands of pure white. Her green eyes shoning with white light. She was a fairy, an unique one at that.

"I'm not suprised you noticed me" Elsa said.

'Well, it was Seraphine, not me. But I won't fix that misunderstanding.' August thought.

"You can call me Elsa Farice" Elsa continued.

"I am the heiress of the Farice, one of three great clans under The Fairy Queen."

"Hmm. Impressive" August nodded, he already knew about it. Because the same fairy chose Luna in his previous life or something you call it.

Elsa Farice or Farice Clan in general, is a unique clan that excels in the Ice attribute. With their high affinity with Mana and Ice, they became a force to reckon with. Elsa chose Luna as her companion because of her high affinity with Ice and Water.

But that is only for heiresses, not royalty or clan leaders. *cough* Seraphine is a special occurence.

"My name is August." August simply replied.

"I have a question Sir August." Elsa asked after the introduction.

"Go on." August said, ignoring the 'Sir' part.

"You have high affinity with Mana right?"

"Hmm, yes. You could say that."

"Then why don't you have a fairy following you?"

"Because I denied the contract." August said.

"I would rather be alone." He contiuned.

'Bruh. Who wouldn't accept fairies as their companion. It's easy mana!' He silenty thought in his heart, not allowing Seraphine to hear his thoughts.

"You're weird." Elsa said.

"I know, someone said the same thing to me aswell" August mysteriously said with a smile.

"What are we doing now?" Luna suddenly butted in the conversation.

"Hmm. We are continuing deeper into the forest."

"Why though?"

"Because we can get free XP.." August said matter of factly.

"But we can die and lose our progress, like you who could've died without my help."

"Well. Just trust me for once."

"Says the guy who fainted an hour ago." Luna muttered.

"Well, let's go now." August said, after the pain finally subsided a bit.

"Okay." Then the squad of two faires and two humans went deeper into Ten Ton Mountain.

'August, why did you talk to August.' Seraphine asked to his mind.

'Hmm. It's to establish that I am strong in their vision, strong enough that I detect something that should've been impossible.'

'Everyone would rather listen and trust someone knowledgable and strong, I just did a quick shortcut instead of wasting time.'

'Why did you want them to listen and trust you?'

'Because if they want to survive and get free XP, then they need to listen and trust me..'

'You're doing something reckless aren't you..'

"Yes" August didn't deny it, because he was doing something reckless in other visions, but for him, it's something smart as hell.

'But can trust you them to show a way to get free XP.. and why did you even mention free XP'

'It's just a feeling, but I think I can trust them.' August said in his mind. Normally August is cautious and even more after his regress to stay low-key. But then why did he trust them, because they had a good repuation in his past life, even if they hidden their evil deeds behind their public face.

The thing he is showing them is only one of the many secrets he has. So it's better to gain an trustworthy ally than an enemy. But he wouldn't reveal any trails or his idenity to her.

'I mentioned free XP, to entice her to go with me. Gaining another force to increase the survival rate. Aswell making her in debt to me.'

'That's...' Seraphine was lost with her words, this was like being ten steps ahead!

While they were walking closer to the source of the Demonic Mana(Demonic Aura is now Mana.)

August checked his unread and recent windows.
