[Cupa]

I opened my eyes slowly as I wake up. The morning's sunshine greeted me. I sat up on the bed and I saw Silc lying on the bed beside me hugging my arms with smile on her face. I smiled and slowly move her arms. I got off the bed and stretched my arms. I looked outside the window. Villagers are walking around and some of them carries weapons and walked towards the gate. 'They must be adventurers." I thought while smiling.

Then I looked around the room, everybody is here. Lucas is sleeping on the floor while hugging a chair. Evan is sleeping on a chair with his face lying on the dining table. And there's Jack sleeping like Evan. I walked slowly towards Jack and looked at his sleeping face.

'He's cute while sleeping.' I thought as I smiled. I poked him on the cheek trying to wake him up.

I noticed a bottle on the dining table and picked it up. 'I think I've seen this somewhere before…' I thought while inspecting it. I put it back down and looked at Jack's face once more.

He's asleep, maybe this is my chance to try to give him a kiss. I smirked and walked closer to Jack. I bowed down so my face is close to Jack's. And I moved my head closer towards his cheek.

"Oh.. so the girl is the one who has feelings for the other. Good one, good one.." I heard a voice from behind which made me froze. I blushed and slowly turned around to see who's there. There's a guy leaning on the wall with his hand on his chin. He's smirking and looking at me.

"W-who are you!?" I asked him, my face is blood red, I can't believe somebody saw what I was trying to do.

"Nobody important, just a guy who likes observing other people. And who are you little girl? What were you trying to do there?" He walked towards me, with his hands crossed.

"N-nothing! I was just trying to take a closer look on him." I tried to make an excuse.

"From my point of view, it seems like you were trying to kiss him on the cheek there."

"Oh… really?"

I turned around and saw Jack sitting on the chair with a straight face looking at the guy. At this point I could die out of embarrassment.

"N-no Jack! It's a misunderstanding! I was just trying to look at your face! T-there was something on your face!" Jack looked away.

"Mm? What's going on?" Evan woke up because of all the commotion. Evan's expression suddenly turned to shock after he noticed the guy's appearance.

"W-what are you doing here!?" Jack shouted.

"Hello! Long time no see, Evan!" The guy smiled and waved at Evan.

"Eh, you know him Evan?" I asked Evan.

"He's my guide…." Evan replied.

"Your guide?" I looked at Evan's guide and he looked at me back and smiled.

[Jack]

Evan explained about his guide to the rest of the group. Cupa, Lucas, and Silc just listened to Evan's story with no comments at all. While I just sat on the chair and playing with my knife because I already know the story.

"Yeah, so that's how I got separated from Keith." Evan has done explaining to the others.

"Yeah, but still, thank you for leaving me alone in the forest Evan."

"I didn't leave you Keith, you left me." Evan denied Keith's words.

"We left each other, that's the fact. But I'm still glad I got to meet Jack. Because of him we can be reunited Evan. Even though it's not actually a good thing. I'm okay with or without you."

"What was that?" Evan and Keith stared at each other with anger.

'Does everybody doesn't get along with their guides?' I thought.

Evan then noticed the bottle on the table. He looked surprised and pointed at the bottle.

"What is that?" He asked.

"It's a bottle. I found it on the street." I answered. He looked at me with his mouth wide open, and suddenly tried to grab the bottle. I quickly took it before him and walked to the edge of the room. He tried to grab the bottle from me but Keith hold him back.

"Let me go Keith! Jack, whatever you do, DON'T DRINK IT!" Evan exclaimed.

"Oh? Well I guess I'll drink it then." I opened the bottle and put it above my mouth like I was going to drink it, but I was just trying to tease Evan.

Then Evan suddenly got out of Keith's grasps. And accidentally ran into me, thus knocking me onto the wall. The liquid inside the bottle poured all over my face, most of it went inside my mouth.

"No don't swallow!" Evan shouted. But it's too late, I already swallowed some of it. Then my vision wen t black. I can't see a thing. Then suddenly I saw a guy in front of me. He's so close to me, he's wearing some kind of mask. Then I felt something painful on my chest, I looked down and I saw a blade going through my chest. I panicked and tried to push him back but I can't move myself. It's like I'm seeing it from somebody's perspective. Then everything went black again and I returned to myself.

I saw Evan in front of me like before. Everyone is looking at me and Evan. Evan took my hand and look at them.

"What's wrong dude?" I asked Evan. Evan looked shocked and stared at me. His expression shows fear and confusion.

"Nothing, I just.." Evan looked around.

"Where did you get this bottle Jack?" Evan asked me again.

"From the street." I don't really know what's happening at the moment. Evan is speechless, then he let go of my hand and walked back.

"Sorry, guys it's nothing. I just panicked because Jack is drinking a strange liquid, you know?"

Everybody just stared at us. Evan looked around trying to find something. He noticed a sack of coins on the table.

"Oh, hey. Where did you get this?" Evan picked up the sack of coins.

"Oh I got it from a quest." I answered calmly, while putting the bottle on the table.

"A quest?" Evan looked at me with an eyebrow lifted.

"Yeah, we did a small quest last night." Keith joined the conversation.

"Hey, what do you say we all go and do some quests together? Everybody has a weapon here right?" Evan suggested.

"Yeah, that seems like a good Idea." Lucas agreed to Evan's suggestion and stood up from the chair.

"But I don't have a weapon." Cupa whispered.

"That's okay, you girls could stay here and protect the house.

Cupa and Silc looked pissed.

"So, wanna try to do a quest guys?"

"Yeah sure, let's go."

Then all four of us walked to the faction hall. Leaving Cupa and Silc behind. When we arrived, we looked at the quest board and checked for any good quest.

The door opened and a guy with 3 men behind him walked in.

"Look it's Henry the Hunter!" Everybody in the room looked at the guy with a cool looking armor.

'Henry the Hunter?' He walked to the quest board and one of his men pushes me away.

"Hey guys how about this one?" Evan picked a quest for us but the guy immediately grabbed it from him.

"Hey!" Evan shouted.

"Sorry boys, but me and my men already chose this one."

"What was that!?" Evan seems angry.

The guy looked at the paper, smirked and said: "This quest is hard you know? Can you even kill a Mutant? I mean, newbies like you probably would lose to a zombie." He chuckled.

Evan grabbed his sword. And the guy pulled out a thing that seems like a gun.

"Look! It's his magic weapon. I heard It could kill anything instantly!" Somebody whispered.

'Magic weapon? That's just a gun.' I thought.

"Look buddy, you better stand back or I'll kill you." Evan froze, because he knows what that thing is.

"Oi, back off would you?" Keith stepped in front of Evan.

"Hah?" The guy pointed the gun at Keith. Keith stared at him with an angry look. The guy smiled and lowered his gun.

"I like you, how about we fight? And the losers are not allowed to show their faces in this village ever again." He looked at me, Evan, and Lucas. "They are your friends, right? So it's four on four then." He smiled. And walked outside. One of his men pushes us outside.

'Look at this douchebag, he challenged us noobs into a duel. While he already got a perk. Which is a gun. That thing is seriously deadly.. How did he even get that?' I thought.

We walked in opposite direction. And then we turned around to face our opponents. I looked at them.

Henry is wearing a thin armor than looks light. He has a gun that looks like a revolver and a small blade. The men on his right is wearing a helmet, he has iron armor covering his body and has a wooden shield and an Iron sword. The guy on his left is quite big, he's carrying an axe with no armor. The last guy is standing behind them and is wielding a bow.

'These guys are hard…' I thought.

"Hey how about we run away guys?" I whispered to the others.

"Don't worry Jack, with my power this should be a piece of cake." Evan seems confidence.

"Dude but he has a gun." I reminded Evan. But he still kept his confidence.

Keith already looking at Henry. Lucas pulled out his sword, and I pulled out my knife as well. Everybody around us is looking at us. I don't like all this attention..

Keith is the first one to charged at the enemies. The guy with the shield and the guy with the axe went forward. And the archer loads an arrow.

Evan and Lucas then followed Keith and I stand back trying to find a way to attack my enemies.

Then I saw something weird. I saw a vision of myself attacking the big guy. The guy hit me with his axe and I became unconscious. I looked at the guy with the shield and I saw myself got hit with his sword and fell onto the ground. I looked at Henry and I saw myself got shot.

'What the f*ck?' I thought.

Then I saw at the archer and I saw myself hit the archer in the face. Then I ran towards the guy with the bow. On my way towards the archer, the archer noticed me and aimed at me. I saw his arrow flying towards me. But wait, he hasn't released his arrow yet. When he fired the arrow, the arrow went through the exact same path as I saw it before. I easily dodged it. He panicked and loads another arrow. This time I saw the arrow flying through a different path. He aimed at my leg. I jumped unconsciously. And the arrow missed my leg by an inch. He panicked even more and pulled out a dagger.

I saw him tried to stab me in the stomach. But again, it was just a vision. I evaded his attack once more and hit his face with the butt of my knife. Thus knocking him onto the ground.

'Dayum, my predictions is really accurate.' I thought. So that's one guy down. I looked at the others and I saw Keith fighting Henry with his baton. Henry is using a blade to fight Keith.

'So fast, they're equally agile.' I thought. Lucas is fighting the guy with the axe. And I saw Evan fighting the shielded guy.

'Who should I help?' I thought while keep looking back at those three over and over. The guy with the axe seems tough so I'll help Lucas. I ran towards Lucas and when I'm close enough the guy noticed me and pushed Lucas back. Then he swung his axe towards me but I already know where that axe is going to go. So I evaded it easily and tried to cut his axe by hitting his axe's handle with my knife. But my attack aren't strong enough so it ended up stuck on the axe's handle. The guy swung his axe one more time and it missed me again. Now the axe is stuck on the ground. I kicked it so it would go deeper into the ground. I kept kicking it until the guy decided to let go of his axe and fight me with his fist. But as soon as he let go Lucas kicked him on the face. And made him unconscious.

"Tch, that was easy. Thanks Jack." Lucas smiled, and gave me my knife. I took the knife and smiled back.

Then I take a look at Evan. He looked like he has trouble fighting the shielded guy since the guy keep blocking his attacks with his shield. When I was about to help him. Evan shouted.

"Enough with this shit!" He stopped attacking the guy and he threw a small fireball at him. Which he then blocked it again. But then the shield burned. He panicked and threw it away. Seeing this opportunity Evan then hit his head with his sword. Splitting the helmet into two. Then he fell onto the ground unconscious while his head is bleeding

"Holy shit dude." I gasped. With my hand on my mouth.

"Don't worry he's fine, it didn't penetrated to deep." Evan sighed.

Then all of us spectated Keith as he fights Henry with his baton.

"Should we help him?" I suggested.

"Nah, he'll be fine." Evan denied my suggestion.

Suddenly Henry kicked Keith and Keith fell onto the ground. Henry pulled out his gun and aimed at Keith. "I'm sorry, but this is the end." He pulled the hammer back, ready to shoot. Keith then kicked the revolver and sent it flying from Henry's hand.

"NO!" Henry screamed and chased the gun. But Keith kicked his feet and he fell onto the ground. And Keith kept hitting his head with his baton like what he did to the zombie.

"Die! You piece a shit!" Keith shouted as he kept bashing that guy's head even though he's already unconscious. I ran to him and stopped him.

"Dude enough already, we already won." Keith calmed down and looked around and noticed that the rest of the enemies already down.

"Oh, nice job guys." We high-fived each other.

Then we noticed that everybody is looking at us. Especially at Evan.

"They just defeat Henry and his men! They're strong!" I heard one of them shouted. And everybody cheered on us.

"Especially that guy, I saw him threw a fireball!" A guy pointed at Evan. And a lot of people crowded around Evan.

"Magic user? A Witch?" Everybody looked at Evan. "No! I saw him made fire, he's a Pyromancer!" A woman shouted. Everybody then ignored me, Lucas, and Keith. And only pays attention to Evan.

All of us stared at Evan with annoyed expressions because he just stole the crowd. Evan just smiles and rubs his neck as the villagers compliments him.

Since that day, Evan is known as the Pyromancer and quite famous around the village.

After that fight with Henry, we decided to go back and take a quest. I took Henry's gun because I think it's too dangerous for a guy like him to have this.

"How about this? Gather 3 enderpearls from Endermen at night." Evan showed a paper to us.

I was surprised by the reward of 100 iron coins.

Everyone agreed and we took the quest.

It's still morning at the time, so we decided to venture outside the village while we wait until it's nighttime. And we walked towards the gate to go outside the village.

"Evan, that's really cool you know? When you use your power on him." Lucas complimented Evan.

"Thank you."

"But that's not cool bro, stealing the crowds like that."

"What do you mean?"

The rest of us ignored Evan.

When we're near the gate I saw somebody I know. It's Sarah.

"Jack? Is that you?" She called me from afar. When we're in front the gate Sarah greeted me.

"Hey Jack! Long time no see!" Sarah pat me on the shoulder.

"Jack you know this girl?" Evan whispered.

"So how is it between you and Cupa? Have you done that thing yet? Didn't you two tried to do it that time?" Sarah smiled as her friends tried to hold their laughs.

I kept a straight face.

"What does she mean by that Jack?" Evan put his hand on my shoulder.

"Nothing." I replied.

"I remember the first time I saw you two. You were trying to take her clothes off in the forest huh? Boys these days." She shook her head with her hands crossed.

I can't see it but I can feel Lucas' and Evan's death stare at me. Plus Evan's grip is killing me.

"I told you, it was a misunderstanding. It was cold out there and she's wearing hoodie, so I thought it'll be a good idea to wear her hoodie." I explained.

"Oh. But Cupa said-"

"She's lying."

"Oh. Sorry for the misunderstanding then. And where are you boys going?"

"We're going to go outside to walk around. We'll be back at nighttime." I told Sarah.

"Oh, okay. Well, be careful then." Sarah signaled the guy on top of the walls to open the gates.

Then we went outside the village.

That's two of them.

(Two betas working together, if they ever ran across the killer, I'm sure that guy would be annihilated.)

Yeah, but the second one's power is a bit more… defensive, you know? He can only predicts the future, he can't kill people with that.

(But it's crazy useful.)

I gotta admit, it is pretty useful. I bet, he's going to be the last person that's going to die among them.

(Yeah. Maybe you're right.)
