LOGINMagnim woke up beside a tree, on a bed of dry leaves. The sun wasn't friendly anymore, it would have been ideal to wake up three to four hours earlier when the rays were still soft to his skin. He slept well but his stomach was rumbling again. He stopped by a river and filled himself with cold and fresh water, it would keep his hunger at bay for an hour. The grasses went as high as his knees. He would not see any animals hiding under it but he did not care. He was on the lookout for fruits but most of it was on high trees. Traversing was already difficult, much more climbing trees; the rings still keeping him hostage. A wooden fence blocked his path, and over it are tall green plants. His eyes gleamed. "Bananas!" Smaller than his fingers, yellow-ripe with dark spots. It was perfect and it was not alone. A farm, hundreds of them lined up evenly and blooming at the same time. But there were wires
Still on his knees, Magnim blew the cloth in his mouth. Matrina was standing behind him, "I'm watching you!" she said. Karnold surveyed what's left of the town. He
The demon set its eyes on Magnim. It growled letting out a gust of foul smell, Demon Dust, and a force that can push a man down. On the ground, Magnim felt his necklace vibrate like never before. He stood up and the gigantic face of the demon met him. From his right, Matrina appeared and poked its eyes with her lance, sparking out blue sprites on his face. The enchanted weapon mystified Magnim. It had carvings; dark intricate symbols, and swirls accentuated by its glow. But he smirked, the damage was trivial. The demon tried to bite Matrina but her horse was fast and was able to evade. "C'mon!" Karnold said. "Leaving him?" she said.
Magnim turned left from the grey brick road a few hours ago. The dirt road slowed his progress to the south. But he liked it, he's putting more effort in pulling, another training. All main roads are made of the same bricks, starting from the capital city, Ahmela. It goes to the farthest cities in the north, south, east, and west. A testament to the former might of Amargah. Magnim looked at his map, figuring out where he was. He followed it, he turned left on the main road but there was no sign of the town. He couldn't ask the infected humans walking passed him. Their numbers were getting bigger the deeper he is in the south. He must be close to wherever they were going. There were times that he wanted to tie his wagon to some of them. He'll sleep and th
Magnim's dreams of beautiful armors and weapons collapsed with the bank. “David? He's okay?” Gerry, the cripple said. “No, he's not! He was crying like a baby, so don't die!" Magnim said. “A group of infected chased them! I tried to get their attention but only caught a few wolves. Good thing there's this young lady who came and diverted their attention. I didn't know what happened after that. Where is David now?"
“A bank! Abandoned bank!" The night was silent and Magnim was seeing himself swimming in gold and silver, but he sighed because it was impossible. There should be no money there. Looters took it already, like many of the towns he visited. Good thing was, there was always something to scavenge, and his wagon was full of those things he can sell. Some noble clothes, jewelry, and light equipment. But he could not get it off his head, the possibility of finding money. And he already listed in his mind the weapon parts and armors that he could buy with it. A man was running on the glowing grey brick road, faintly nowadays but st
