Kami Van Helllsin, now 18 years old and has packed his bags ready to go out to the world, to chase his dream. He puts the bag to his back and looks at his uncle who is sitting on a rocking chair, barely awake. Kami smiles at him.
''This is it uncle, I'm leaving today.'' He grins.
''I'm warning you kid; it's a warzone out there. If you think you can become king with so many people chasing the same throne, you're insane.''
Kami smirks but doesn't answer, he walks towards the door and before he stops before he touches the doorknob.
''I'll come back uncle, I'll come back to this farm as the king of the world. And when I do, I'll tell the stories of my adventure. You should wait for me and not die from drinking too much booze, okay?''
And silence filled the room, Kami's uncle stares at him as he opens the door and slowly closes it. Tears start slowly falling off his face.
''Is that idiot really thinking about it?'' He whispers to himself.
Kami walks alone in the narrow path that leads him towards the gate, while walking memories of him playing around in the farm and his uncle hitting him shouting him to help. Even memories of the two of them training, where his uncle would train him day and night.
Once he sent Kami to the woods telling him that he should go kill the wild boar that has been ruining the farm plantation in farm. He remembers coming back the next day barely able to walk and carrying the huge boar's head.
''Come to think of it, that could've killed me.'' Kami laughs as he realizes.
He walks until he reaches the gate, he stands in the middle of the gate before swinging it open. He takes a deep breath while embracing the fresh wind that's flows by, and he slowly opens the gate while walking out.
He starts walking away from the gate, not looking behind him. He walks for while in the path in front of him, he doesn't know where he is going but is following the path in front of him. He finally reaches a forest.
He stands in front of forest and can sense the dangerous tension coming from the forest, and the path between the trees is nothing but darkness. He hears a loud roar that comes from the forest, and a sudden gust of wind blows past in him towards the direction he came from.
He smirks and walks in with courage, ''Can't look back now.''
He holds both straps of his backpack while calmly scanning his surroundings because of the noises and tussles coming from the bushes. And It's so dark around him, he wouldn't be able to tell if it is dark or not. Yet he still doesn't panic and carries on with his walk, and then suddenly starts hearing growls coming from him behind him.
He starts walking slower, trying focus his hearing on where the sound is coming from, he than stops after realizing that it's behind him. Green eyes illuminate off the darkness that's around him; the animal takes slow steps as it sets its eyes on Kami.
Kami slowly turning himself around and it's a lion; bigger than any normal lion he has ever seen. It walks slowly as it shows its fangs towards Kami, holds his hands out backing away slowly.
''Calm down now... I'm not threat.''
He tries to calm it do but can see that it has no interest in anything he would say, the only thing it has its eyes on is attacking him. Kami backs off slowly before sprinting away, the lion takes a big jump before chasing after him.
Kami laughs as the lion is gaining distance, when it gets to close enough distance, it decides to jump at Kami. While running Kami sees a thick tree in a small distance, he can feel the lion's presence above him after it took that.
While running he looks behind him and a huge shadow of the lion is approaching him from above. He runs straight towards the tree before taking two steps on the tree stem turning with a powerful kick towards the lion.
The lion has it's claws out and mouth open while Kami is approaching it with a roundhouse kick with his left foot, and he kicks it before it could react. It's sent flying while letting out a little squeal, it rolls on the ground before getting on its feet.
The two of them look at each other and Kami smiles. ''I'm sorry but you're a couple of years too early for me to be scared of the like of you.''
The lion growls showing its teeth at Kami, the two of them stare at each other's eyes with none of them wavering. Kami slightly tilts his head while looking and gives him a menacing smile, and the lion still growling.
It finally decides to leave and walks towards the bushes disappearing in the dark. Kami walks off in the opposite direction and continues walking. He hums a song while walking through the forest until finally reaching a checkpoint, where he can see a little bit of the sun light.
He finally decides to stand there and take sip from his water bottle; after drinking most of his water he lets out a huge sigh of relief. ''Finally, a bit of rest.''
He smiles at himself proud of the first steps of his journey, and then footsteps... multiple footsteps from different positions approach him, he drops the bottle and looks around him with the smile off his face. The footsteps get louder before a small army off man surround him.
He stands in the middle of the men with their weapons out. ''Give us the bag or surrender your life.''
''If I do, I might as well give you my life, because the food I need is in that bag.''
The group grins as they stare at Kami. The man who asked for the bag grins. ''I guess we'll be taking both then.''
