Death Saga

There was once a swordsman, he was told he was taught everything there is to know, but no matter how much training he does or how many other weapons he learns to use, he still feels weak.

Once he reached twenty, he took off on a five years journey, by the end of it he had an incident, a rock fell on his head, he forgot everything except for his skills.

The swordsman woke up to find himself buried in rubble, he hasn't been crushed yet, he still could he crushed if he wasn't careful, if he's going to try to get out he can't stop midway lifting the rubble off of him.

With a mighty push, he emerged to the light, a new born baby in a strange, the strangest, he can't find his sword, he is wearing a black kimono and a straw hat, he tips his hat and says.

"I can't remember shit, fuck me, what was my name? Can't remember, gotta make up one then, hmm, my name is, my new name is Raven."

Raven looks around, he sees a village not far, he heads towards it, on his way he encounters a mercenary party, a warrior, a mage and healer.

"Look what do we got here." The warrior said.

"Not another fight." The healer said.

"Make it fast this time." The mage said.

"Three against one, brave of you." Raven said.

"No, it's me versus you." The warrior said.

"This dumbass likes to fight anything that looks stronger than him." The mage said.

"And I have to always clean after him." The healer said.

"Then come at me already." Raven said.

The healer and the mage moved away, the warrior moved closer and pulled a great sword, Raven simply stood his ground awaiting his enemy to attack, the warrior charged and swung his sword, Raven dodged it with ease.

"Too slow." Raven remarked.

The warrior swings again and again without being able to hit Raven, he starts to tire, he gets a little slower, he swings his sword, Raven dodges and slashes the warrior's chest.

"Get serious already." The mage said.

"Time to use magic then." The warrior said.

"Magic!?" Raven said in confusion.

"I restrain my rage so I may be granted the might of mountains. Strength, grade one."

The warrior stamina was restored, he looked slightly huger, his swings are back to their normal speed but they are more intense, if for a moment Raven gets caught by one of his attacks he's done for.

The warrior charges and starts swinging, Raven keeps his distance and avoids the attacks, his speed again drops, Raven moves in for the attack.

"You fell for it." The warrior says.

The warrior swings his sword as faster all of a sudden, Raven was caught in his trap, the sword goes across his neck.

"Heal him!" The mage yells.

The healer immediately casts a heal on Raven before he even hits the ground, his head back on his neck, his hat suspended in air as he falls, then it fall back on his face.

"I guess I gave a pretty nasty scar on your neck, I guess you will remember me with it, remember ghe name Gork, the mightiest merc southside of the kingdom." The warrior said.

"The name is Magus, the actual mightiest merc southside." The mage said.

"And I am Sasha, keep at it and you might join us, I am looking forward for seeing suffer just to heal you so you can suffer more" The healer said.

Raven didn't try to stand up, he just laid on the ground as they left, meditating.

"Each of them is crazier than the other, just like me." Raven thought.

After nearly an hour, he heard the sound of a carriage, he stood up and looked around, he saw a merchant driving the carriage.

"Hey, where are you heading?" Raven asked.

"To Redstone, the city of Redstone, wanna come with me?" The mechant asked.

"Yes, I would like to."

"Good, I had no luck hiring a bodyguard, at least I am not alone now."

"Bodyguard? I could do that."

"Then if you make sure nothing happens to me lr the carriage, I will pay you nicely."

"Deal."

After a few hours, the city could be seen on the horizon.

"We're nearly there." The merchant said.

"Good, at this rate I will be paid for doing nothing." Raven said.

"Nothing? No, there was probably one or two bandits who saw you and decided not to attack, and that's enough for me."

As the merchant was talking, two bandits jumped in front of the carriage, a mage and a rogue, the horses stopped immediately.

"Hang on there, I will handle it." Raven said.

Raven jumped off the carriage and confronted the bandits.

"Turn around and go back from where you came and I will let you be." Raven said.

"Such empty threats." The mage said. "Your magical power is so low I can't feel anything from you, you're a weakling."

"I will slice you and skin you alive." The rogue said.

Raven unsheathed his sword and took a fighting stance.

"Come close and I will cut you to a thousand pieces." Raven said.

"I don't need to do that." The mage said.

The mage casted a fireball, Raven dodged it, the rogue moved in to strike, Raven swung his sword cutting the rogue.
