In town is a small human village as they all did something they also have a group that'll go into town and would try to get things but that couldn't happen because of the small group of men that would come and bully and take what they had.

The village was poor and helpless and couldn't fight as well as the Knights did, now we see our hero looking more confident as he held a small ball of fire in his hands- he got stronger and he even found shelter in the three days he was alone in the woods.

The problem still is no clothes but that didn't bother him none as he wandered around and meditated to focus his power on being one with nature all the time and he got so good that he eventually gained horns of a deer which is also the first animal he killed and ate as his horns has a small resemblance to tree branches in the smallest form.

He sat at the lake as he looked at his reflection as he was bending the water without raising a finger as he then froze it at a form of a swan for his own entertainment but it unfroze when he heard screaming of a little girl as he took off running towards her direction.

LAWRENCE'S P.O.V.

I got rid of my horns as I made sure my aura was concealed as I headed in the girl's direction.

I learned to hide my aura since whenever it was near dark I was the scariest thing in the woods until sunlight and it was only because I become monstrous in everything darkness like Sunlight I'm the nicest creature ever and in moonlight I'm the last thing you want to be around.

The second I got there I seen a man hurt and bleeding as I seen a bear about to attack a girl 'That must be his daughter' I took at least three leaps as I shoved the bear into a tree.

The girl looked at me shockingly as I looked down at her "You need to go with your dad and leave now" I heard growling as the bear was coming back as I stood in front of her "You wanna fight? but I'll warn you I'm not capable of holding back against men who put their hands on a girl" I watched the bear stand up as it tried to swing it's paw hard at me as I just caught it.

"Your dead" I put my hand to it's chest as I stopped it's heart- a instant kill as I stared at it as it wasn't moving so I pushed it to the ground as I turned to see the girl looking at me in awe but I looked over at her dad as he was as well as I started my walk towards him as I looked at his three scratches across the chest.

'Is it possible for me to use a healing move on him?' I haven't thought about it but I am some type of Nature creature with a Demonic bad side which I was told I was Dryad by the core but I was given the full control of Nature and many other skills I got when I died.

'It's possible you can use your Skill [White Flower] to heal him' I held my hand at his wounds as his blood started to move as I noticed the turned into small red vines as white flowers was on all on him as they glowed "I feel...better-like the inside of me is getting stronger, how'd you do this?" I gave a small smile now knowing what this is.

"This flowers is using the sun to grow so since your blood made the flowers it'll heal you while using the sun to give you strength you need to move" He was in shock as he stood up easily as the girl bolted to his side then hugged me tightly.

"Thank you for saving my daddy! Thank you so much" I would've replied but I was butt naked and she was hugging my right leg and the father noticed as he quickly snatched up his little girl as he looked at me "I've been without clothes for a while and used the wild to survive" He scrunched his face up "You've been loving out here this whole time? You look nothing but Twelve but judging by your height and muscle mass your sixteen maybe even seventeen" I was shocked but I gave a slow nod.

"Well this isn't where a child belongs maybe as a token of my appreciation you can come live with us, my name is Zack and this is my daughter Elena" I couldn't believe the offer I was given as I had to think all this over, on earth I had only a mother a father that didn't want to be around and I die and up in a world where a father wants me? Man the irony in life.

"I'll do it but you don't really have to" He shook his head as he looked at me "Nonsense, come so you get some clothes on your body" We began walking together as he led me out the woods as I seen a village- not very big but it has kids running around and once they seen me helping him walk they followed slowly and eventually done my age came and eyed me.

He had me stop at a house as he knocked and when the door opened came a woman who obviously was in her older years as she looked at me and confusion crossed her face but left just as fast as she put her hands on her hips "What in the hell did you do this time Zackery?" I turned around as I seen a crowd- the whole village had to be out now as I seen grown folk and all.

"I was hunting and my little girl was attacked by a bear but before it could do anything this young lad killed it" Shock clearly was in the air as the lady looked at me as I heard whispering around me.

"And from the looks of it he can use magic real good since he can cover up to the best of his abilities" I looked down as I seen clouds covering my stuff and my butt as I was shocked but didn't show it.

"Come Inside...all three of you" I walked in after the man and his daughter as the lady stood at the door shooing the people away as she closed the door "So you saved our Zackery, not many can say they did that" I felt honored as I looked away from her face to stop a confident smile from gracing my face.

"I just heard his daughter screams so I came running and when I seen that bear I knew it was going to kill her so I had to kill it" She gave a slow nod agreeing with me as she looked at the father "So how exactly did he kill the bear? Not many little boys can really say they can unless they're from a kingdom or town and we both know we're neither" She laced her fingers as she stared at him as there was complete silence.

"All he did grandma was touch it you should've seen it! one touch and it was down" She quickly looked at me as I knew what was about to happen "I've had my suspicion and it seems that I'm correct, what are you?" I looked up at her as the little girl was now confused "I'm a Dryad that can also become more by night" She nodded as she reached behind the couch and threw some clothes at me.

"Those were his when he was younger, they look like they'll fit" I began to put the clothing on with bear fur lining as it was a black vest with brown fur lining and pants.

"They fit me perfectly, but-" she raised her hand to silence me as she sighed while giving me a long stare "There's not slit of young boys like you out there, your a monster and yet you act so human...I'm very curious of you and you don't need to ask why because you saved the life of my grandson and my great granddaughter" It made sense but I couldn't exactly say anything right now but I gave her a smile.

"Thank you for the clothes" She nodded at me as she stood "If needed if you can't stay with Zackery you can stay with me" I was shocked as I was about to deny the offer but I felt a reassuring hand on my shoulder "Trust me, she doesn't know the word No" That made me very uneasy as I looked back at the lady as she smiled at me.

"I'll stay" During the day the people got meet me like the fact I could use magic and I showed them my nature abilities and once it got dark I felt my right hand shake as I knew I was highly dangerous around this time period.

I left as I headed back to the Grandma house as she fed me as I rested in Zack's old room 'I can deal with this...people that care and want me around, I think I'll just stick around' Soon sleep claimed me as felt good for once in a while.

THREE DAYS LATER

I was helping the neighbor as I me and him chopped wood I started to use wind like how I started off but I picked up a axe to his surprise as I swung down hard chopping the wood "You can't cheat hard work" He chuckled "For a moment I thought of you as Zack's son until you said that" We both laughed hard as we heard a bunch of shouts.

There was three men in Knight armor as two are twins blonde hair and brown eyes as they held swords but the one behind them has this vibe that made me eye him as he was still on his horse.

"You all know the drill, all valuables hand them to my assistants and you'll live to see tomorrow" Everyone was scared even the men had to make sure they didn't do anything to their wives or kids.

I am a monster and they are monsters messing with the lives of humans, I began to look around as I knew what I had to do as I flashed over in front of them as they was shocked as I punched one of the twins off into the woods as the other tried to hit me but I blocked all of his attacks with one hand and the last block threw him off balance as I punched him in the chest as he hit the ground a couple of times while flying towards his leader.

In midair his leader caught him as he stared me down as I sensed evil intent on my left as I dodged a blow to the head 'Skill [Devour] unlocked' I don't know where or how but I held up my hand as the ground had exploded with vines holding him still as he was struggling to get free.

His brother came as the roots got a hold of him too and I heard a lot of loud crunching as the vines came together as it soon sprouted a fruit for me to eat as I plucked it and took a bite as I found myself continuing as I found myself with new skills I ignored for now as I stared at the leader as I realized one thing he was inching closer and closer but with a lance in hand and when he thrusted with pure concentration but there was one problem.

I could hardly move...there was most definitely something wrong and as I looked up at the sky and I seen it- the light shade of red as I looked at him as his power was coming off in waves 'What the hell is he?' I began to realize that now I can't hold back I now have to go full force as I let out my aura as his eyes widened.

The weight that was on me was now gone as I looked at him now as I noticed my horns being back as I charged him as I held out my hand as Lightning formed as a sword as I went toe to toe with him but he did cut me a couple of times but it healed as I got physically stronger as I kept pushing him back and eventually was in front of him lance too far to the right to counter what I'm about to do.

The middle of my right hand turned into wood as I aimed it to this man's heart as a wooden blade went through as the roots started to plant themselves into him as it wrapped around him crunched and breaking everything down.

'Two Species gained, Dragon and Fallen Angel acquired, Skill [Mimic] acquired' I heard the voice say as I felt stronger and when I turned around it was getting dark as I knew I was probably feeling darker- against nature as everyone was looking and whispering as I just stood there.

What else could I do? I just killed these men in front of them and got stronger because of it so why shouldn't they question what to do or to be afraid...I'm a mon- "Thank you for saving our people young lad, I knew you had it in you" I seen grandma as she was walking even closer with a low hum.

"So by night you become a dark Dryad instead of staying the same, it's ok your still the same boy that slept under my roof you just have to remember who you are" I listened to her wise words as I looked down in disbelief, this woman is really trying to keep me around "Then I felt a hug as it was a girl- the one I had saved as I was confused "Thank you big brother! You saved everyone in the village" I felt my heart skip a beat as I felt tears prick at my eyes as other little kids ran up to me hugging some part of me as I let tears fall proudly as I looked up to see men walking up to me.

Each one- one by one they came up to me as they knelt before me as the women did the same as I then seen Zack come by my side as I couldn't believe what I was seeing as I watched all the kids and all of their parents as they began to stand "A feast will be held tonight for our Hero!" Shouts of agreement filled my ears as I watched them lead me down the path as I was gaining a small smile.

The second I turned to my left I seen the lady I've called grandma as I seen the little smile she held as well as I was in awe 'Was she behind this? Did she mean for this to happen?' I continued on down the path into a long tent as everyone began to sit down as I felt a bunch of people pat me on the back as they came in.

Eventually they had me seated at the head of the table as plates of meat was brought up and all types of food was out in front of us as I was ready to dig in then I saw someone stand among the crowd "What is your name? You haven't exactly told us since you've stayed here" I pondered on it and he was right, I haven't told them hardly really anything since I've been here but I can't really use my other world name here.

"How about us the people name you since after all monsters don't have names and by us naming you...it'll be like your our protector" It was a honor- a great honor as I looked at them all as I gave a slow nod as I watched them sit there while whispers was going on for a while as the lady I stayed with as the room went silent "We as a people will name you Kimaru Silver" I overall liked the name as I smiled as I then felt something within me grow and get stronger as I felt muscles on me get bigger as I felt my hair get slightly longer.

During this transformation I got a black marking on my right shoulder as it was a circle that was like egyptian sun as I then looked at everyone before me as I could hear their heat beats, smell all types of smells as I was shocked as I could hear into outside which shocked me since I'm not out there 'You unlocked skills for the following Dragon, Fallen Angel, Dryad and Dark Dryad...would you like to know them all right now?' I gave a slow sigh as I figured that's what it was as I cleared my throat 'No that'll be fine for now I'll ask later...What happened to me?' I felt complete in a way as I sat down 'Monsters don't have names so when they named you, you became stronger- it's happens to all monsters who are named' I would say something else but I'm talking to a voice in my head as I just left the thought alone.

"I like the name, I appreciate you all for keeping me around when didn't have to" I felt someone pat my back roughly as I looked up to see Zack as he was smiling down at me as I smiled back "You always doing something sneaky you know that?" He chuckled as he looked at everyone as they all started eating "You saved the life of my daughter and saved mine...what did you expect me to do? Nothing?" I was speechless as this man yet again surprised me.

It's crazy how my life goes from me hating, disliking my family and suddenly dying to me having one the best times of my life especially with people that want to be around- wanting me to stick around as long as possible as I liked this feeling as I began to eat.

Soon night came around as I was looking up at the moon not really caring about the person I knew was sneaking up behind me as I didn't feel any ill intent coming from this person as it was a woman from the smell of it.

"You always sit up there, how come you don't sit down here?" I gave a low hum as I disappeared and reappeared in front of her as she jumped back some "Because I'm more dangerous at night which is why I don't walk to places where you all can follow" She is a brunette with nice brown eyes as she wore a dress but deep in those eyes of hers I can sense a warrior as I smirked "Your not the girly girl type, so why pretend?" She looked shock but she tried to quickly get rid of it.

"So you saw through that, I didn't expect you to off our first conversation" I chuckled as I leaned on the tree behind me as I observed her- curious as to why she came out here as I couldn't really see one right now, maybe after a longer conversation or maybe an adventure together? "I'm really good at observing people so there's not a lot you can hide from me" She smiled as she eyed me like a cat eying it's prey.

"So you can see through my tricks? my womanly charms" I laughed a bit as she stood there playing innocent as I stepped towards her "I see through all and you're practically open book, I'm just waiting for you to read over your writing" She chuckled slightly as she came closer "I am a warrior but I also know a bit of magic- Water magic but I don't think I'll be as skilled as you are" I raised a eyebrow at the compliment as I turned to look at the moon.

"I'm not all that but I do know what I'm doing" She looked at me as if I was crazy as she crossed her arms "Not all that? You killed three men that we couldn't get rid of for years and the way you did it looked so easy was just...amazing, I want that" I smiled as I figured slightly that's what it was as I put my hands behind my back looking at her curiously for a second that was when I smelt it- she was afraid of something but she also smell of...bravery? I couldn't tell what it was but it was basically high confidence.

"You want me to teach you? That's why you tracked me out here?" She nodded slowly as I gave her a nod while walking past her as I held a grin ear to ear "I have a plan and if I'm correct it'll go smoothly and since you want to be under my wing you'll know a lot and I won't show you any mercy...Are you in?" She knelt down behind me as she looked me in my eyes when I turned to face her and nodded "I want this" I nodded as I made her stand.

"Good because we got a lot of work to do tomorrow" I walked away with my hands behind my back as she followed behind me "What exactly would we be doing?" I chuckled as I sighed "We are going to a guild in the Kingdom" She became shocked fully as I started walking out the woods as I knew tomorrow would be a long trip for us and a glorious adventure.
