The Journey That Changed A World.

7. The Nightmares Starts. Final Edit.



Waking up in an unknown bed.

Archer looked around panicked, wondering where he was.

That's when he noticed a young woman in her 20's lying next to him.

He recognized the smooth navy blue hair.

It was a girl he knew all too well lying in front of him.

He went to hug her but was stopped by an invisible barrier.

After that, she sat up and stared directly at him.

That's when he saw blood drip down her lips.

Suddenly, the scene changed to a random street, and Archer saw her being stabbed.

He panicked and rushed towards her, but everything changed again.

Now he was the one being stabbed while the maniac laughed.

He woke up in a panic, his clothes stuck to him with sweat.

Archer looked around and realized he was still on a branch high in the tree.

Hearing birds chirping and some beasts grunting from below.

He sat up and looked down to see a massive hog-like beast.

The beast was the size of a rhinoceros on earth.

It was just rooting around.

After he was done he wandered off somewhere.

Rubbing his eyes, he realized that he was drenched in blood from yesterday's hunt.

That's when he remembered he had eaten all the hearts he collected like a glutton.

While sitting there, he checked his status.

'Status.'

[Experience: 350/1000]

[Level Up: 5>8]

[SP: 10>38]

Exclaiming in shock.

''I've leveled up 8 times since I started hunting!''

He then decided to spend the points while relaxing.

Archer put 10 points on HP and Mana, 4 on strength, constitution, stamina and charisma and 2 on intelligence.

He felt his body strengthen as his stats increased, after it calmed down he checked his status.

[HP: 200>300]

[Mana: 880>1180]

[Strength: 65>105]

[Constitution: 40>80]

[Stamina: 70>110]

[Charisma: 180>220]

[Intelligence: 90>110]

He got a massive boost from the points. His whole body felt lighter and stronger, his muscles grew and his senses improved even more.

Looking down at the ground as he stood up, he hopped off the and landed with a thud.

When he hit the floor he heard a scream in the distance.

With his newly acquired senses he could tell it wasn't far away.

He ran in the direction the scream came from, after a 10 minute run he came across a scene he was very familiar with.

A group of 5 adventurers fighting a lot of goblins.

At the back was a goblin shaman casting spells at them and directing the other goblins between spells.

The adventurers consisted of two knights, one girl and boy, a girl dressed in a cleric/priest outfit and a dark elf archer who wore leather armor that covered most of her body apart from her midriff and legs.

She had a black cloak on and seemed to value speed over protection.

In addition, there was a tall and muscular human mage with a bald head standing at the back casting protective magic.

The two human knights looked exactly like each other, blood red hair, blue eyes and milk white skin.

The girl was slender and tall with hawk-like eyes, just like the boy.

They both wore plate-like armor that covered most of their bodies apart from the head and hands.

He thought they were twins.

The cleric had auburn colored hair and yellow eyes and was pretty average looking for an elf.

The female knight was much prettier than her.

But that's when he realized how beautiful the dark elf actually was.

He couldn't take his eyes off her.

She had brown colored skin, long silver hair tied into a pony tail that dangled down her back.

A pair of red eyes that sucked the soul from anyone who got close and pointy elf ears.

She wasn't tall at all, she's about 5'5 and thick in all the right places.

'She's beautiful.'

Archer shook his head to concentrate on the fight.

He saw they were doing well against the goblins until more goblins appeared behind them.

The bald mage turned around and started to cast fireballs at them to hold back the incoming goblins.

The dark elf looked back then covered the mage, shooting arrows with precision.

They were about to become overwhelmed when Archer intervened.

'Let's go.'

He pointed his small hand at the incoming goblins.

'Void blast' x two.

Woosh!~ Woosh!~

Void blasts shot out and crashed into the unaware goblins.

The group of adventurers stopped what they were doing and looked towards the explosion, seeing a big dust cloud.

Then a white-haired boy dressed in black and covered in blood rushed out of the cloud and slashed the still-standing goblins.

Archer danced around wildly slashing any goblin he encountered while laughing his head off.

''Hahahahahahahahah, die beasts. DIE!''

He had no real skill beyond what his memories showed of the previous Archer's training. Also when on earth Archer was learning to wield a sword as well.

As the adventurers finished killing the goblins they were fighting, he finished his goblin slaughter after killing the last seven.

That was until a fire blast smashed into the right side of Archer's body, sending him flying away.

''Arghhh!~''

The dark elf saw this and aimed her bow at the beast who attacked the boy.

She released a mana arrow that flew through the air puncturing the shaman's head.

It dropped to the floor dead, that's when she heard the knights coming from behind her.

''Where did that boy go?''

Turning to them while thinking.

'Did they not see him get blown away?'

She pointed in the direction Archer flew off.

''He flew off in that direction, let's go check on him.''

They all rushed to find him.

''He is over here!''

They all rushed over to him.

When they arrived the boy was lying on the floor staring up at the sky with a smile on his burnt face.

Archer sat up quickly and looked directly at the dark elf and asked her name.

''What's your name?''

The elf narrows her eyes before replying.

''That's your first concern, not the fact that the right side of your body is pretty badly burned!''

Archer looked at his right side and realized it was burned from his face to his waist.

His normally fair white skin was now pitch black and burning.

''Oh shit.''

The pain slammed into him making him lay down again.

He was in agony.

Although the cleric trying to heal him, her spell wasn't working.

That's when the pain started hurting so much more that he nearly fainted, but just as he was about to pass out.

A notification popped up.

[Regeneration Learned]

That's when he and everyone else noticed his charred skin slowly repairing itself.

In the midst of the pain, he heard gasps and shocked voices, but he was unable to understand them clearly.

The pain subsided slowly as his regeneration kicked in.

After a while he was healed, even his burnt hair was back to normal.

Archer stood up under the shocked gazes of the others.

When he saw that his pants and shirt were burned, he changed into new clothes without moving from the spot.

After putting on a set of fresh clothes, he looked straight at the dark elf and repeated the same question as earlier with a big smile.

''See I'm fine! Now will you tell me your name?''

The female knight snickered as she whispered to the bald mage.

But as they spoke to each other, they all suddenly got a panicked look on their faces and sprinted off back to where the fight occurred.

All of them except the dark elf ran back.

''Who did they forget hehe?''

She looked at him with narrowed eyes.

''Why are you laughing? It's creepy.''

''Because they were distracted by my presence, you guys forgot your friend who was injured or knocked out.''

He finished the sentence with a wide smile as he looted the seven hearts.

After Archer was finished he turned to the elf and smiled.

''My name is Archer a F ranked adventurer, well I joined yesterday and this was my first quest, but I got sidetracked Hehe.''

She looks at this strange boy who clearly isn't all there upstairs.

''My name is Talila Ashmoon. We were looking for a goblin camp. What quest did you take?''

''The wild dog quest, but so far all I've found are goblins and you guys''

Talila looked at this strange boy and noticed his twitching pointy ears poking through his scruffy hair.

She stares into his bright violet eyes.

With his messy hair, she barely noticed the lumps on the sides of his head.

She asked herself.

'What kind of elf is he? he is not a high or dark elf, maybe a forest elf?'

She shook her head and asked.

''What kind of elf are you?''

Archer looks confused while answering.

''I'm not an elf, my father is human and my mother is dragon-kin.''

Talila's eyes widened at the mention of dragon-kin then she spoke sarcastically.

''You're a dragon-kin? They haven't been seen in decades due to the last Draconic-Human war and now one is in front of me hunting wild dogs in the forsaken forest?''

He looks at Talila with an expression of thought on his face.

According to the previous Archer, dragon-kin are a nomadic people who travel across the continent looking for a suitable home.

Since theirs was taken by the Salona Kingdom up north when they lost in the Draconian-Alliance war over 20 years ago.

His mother met his father when she was hired as a mercenary, then later married him as his father's 2nd wife.

''Well yes, I am a dragon-kin, and I am just doing my first quest when I stumbled upon you guys getting attacked so I thought I'd help out.''

When the archer finished speaking, he smiled at her.
