keeper of the realms

William had already embarked on a journey towards the nearest city .He did not know how far the nearest city was or even its name since he had never been outside the small village where he lived .

What William knew was that his father always mentioned an academy that he went to where people without an ability had a chance to learn about weapons and become weapon masters.

Apparently William did not have a plan , at the moment he was only focused on getting to the nearest city first and the rest would follow from there.

William chose not to carry his rusty sword since he thought that it would be of no use to him when he would fight against the two unknown men.

Now when ever William crossed paths with monsters, he would solely rely on his fists to defeat them .

After two days of continuous travel William was starting to get frustrated , he could tell that he had travelled a long distance now but still he was not there yet.If not for the survival skills he had learnt while training with Essex , William was sure he could have already died of hunger .

From a distance , William could hear the sound of people talking and it looked like they were in the middle of a battle.william was a bit curious and decided to take a look.

" Lady Arya it looks like we have to retreat" a man who was trying to scare a wild boar with a spear in his hand was the one who spoke.

This man was address a beautiful young lady with crystal blue hair who was standing behind him.

In total there was approximately six people present and five of them were surrounding Arya, the crystal blue haired lady .Most of them were injured seemingly by the attacks from the wild boar .

"I'm sorry guys for dragging you out here " Arya could help but apologize,it was her idea to come out into the black abbysal forest and hunt even when Elvin,he protector said that it was too dangerous.

" Don't worry lady Arya , our priority is to get you out of here safely" Elvin said as he brandished his spear readying himself for battle.For Arya to safely get out of there , Elvin and the others had to sucrifice themselves ;Arya also knew this and it made her relactant.

But her presence in battle would not make any difference since this fight exceeded what she could handle.

Just as Arya was about to dash out of there ,she spotted a young man about the same age as her casually strolling towards the wild boar.

Few moments earlier, William was witnessing the scene of Arya and the others but his mind was somewhere else.

' I was feeling hungry and had not found something to eat ,good thing this boar is here .Might as well just kill it , I'm sure they wouldn't mind' William thought and started heading toward the boar.

The wild boar with its instincts had already sensed someone approaching from behind .It turned quickly and charged toward William at a speed that only Elvin could keep up with.

The terrifying thing was that William was not scared but instead threw a casual punch towards the boar.

Arya was about to scream toward William to warn him but what happened next caused her to become speechless.

The boar's head met William's fist and ...

SPLURT

The boar's head exploded.Now a lifeless,headless boar was lying infront of William.

Arya's group could not believe it , the wild boar that gave them a hard time was dealt with by a young man in tattered clothes with just one casual punch.if they didn't witness it themselves,the would have not believed it .

Arya was the first one to come back to her senses and she quickly approached William to thank him.

It still puzzled Elvin how William killed the wild boar yet he could not sense any mana coming from William.

" Thank you very much for your help mister , my name is Arya " Arya was truly greatful since now she did not have to make the hard decision of leaving her protectors behind .

" I will compensate you personally for the trouble"

William was not killing the boar for this group's sake but they didn't know that . William also needed help.

" In that case i will trouble you with a request" William spoke and Arya listened attentively " could you tell me where the nearest city is "

Now it was time for the group to be shocked , who asks such a kind of request lt .most people would ask for money or rare treasures but this guy asks for directions.

The people present didn't speak their minds out since they didn't want to offend William; he is powerful enough to one shot a wild boar who would be stupid enough to risk offending him.

" Ah the nearest city is Frostfire city , not too far from here " Arya spoke when she recovered from the shock she had felt .

" We just came from the city , if you like we could accompany you and it would be to your benefit since it will be difficult to enter the city." Arya explained , she didn't want William to refuse.

" Its ok "William agreed, he couldn't refuse since it was also his first time hearing of the Frostfire city .to him it was a new territory that he did not know anything about so a little help would be nice.

" Could I know my benefactor's name?"Arya didn't want to address William as mister since they were about the same age.

" Its William "

"Okay William, let's go" Arya had already started walking towards the Frostfire city when she suddenly remembered that William was in tattered clothes.

Arya turned around and saw William storing the slayed boar in a spatial ring .she was not bothered by this "William do you have any other clothes "

William nodded and then went behind the the bushes nearby to change his clothes . William had been preoccupied so much that he had forgotten to change his clothes,so he was still wearing blood stained tattered clothes.

After changing his clothes, William together with Arya's group made their way back to Frostfire city.
