Chapter 3: The Serpent

2021-12-15 23:38:12“Whoaaaa!”
A sharp pain shot through my head. I pressed my hands against my throbbing temples trying to push the pain away.“Be careful with that thing!” One of the frightened Villagers told me “At least some of you could help me right?” I shouted as I continued my battle against the serpent.No one answered my request. I can only see them with their legs shaking with their obvious fear and trepidation. Obviously, no one is going to help me beat this mythical creature. “Great. Now I’m dead” I whispered to myselfHow did this even happen? Few hours earlier…I woke up earlier than the usual. The sun was yet to rise and I estimate the time to be around 5 am in the morning. The first thing I did was to check on Liza. She was still sleeping soundly, so let us not disturb her. I planned on exploring the town today and attempt to sell the remaining of the glass pieces on my pocket. I do hope that they'll accept this so we can have enough money to buy supplies.And that’s exactly what I did when she woke up. We went straight ahead to the town and looked for a pawnshop what would give us the money in exchange for this “diamond” piece.
After a few minutes of search we finally found one. The Ladies who were inspecting the material I brought were stunned. They claimed it to be one of the rarest diamond pieces the land has.What a bunch of pathetic idiots LMAO.
Then the owner gave me 150 pieces of gold coins in exchange for all the pieces of the broken piece of glass I had. From what Liza have told me, 10 silver coins can be converted per 1 piece of gold coin, and a silver coin could be converted to 100 copper coins. Slowly, I’m starting to get the knowledge on how currency and money runs in this world.
Liza was just standing behind me, watching is awe as I fool people from the shop.
“You’re so awesome big bro! How did you managed to have that much of money?” she asked“That’s a secret” I winked and the two of us laughed.After I got the money, we bought things. We first bought food. Liza bought wheat, loaves of bread and kilos of grain. We also bought potteries, pans and cauldrons for cookery, wooden plates and utensils, and the like. I also had her choose five different types of dress and clothing available on the store. She didn’t want it at first, but I insisted on it which she gladly accepted. As for me, I bought a sword holster for my new sword. It should help me have my secret sword hidden. Our day ended with happiness and relief. Or so I thought…Liza and I were happily walking on our way home with the things we bought, not until we felt an earthquake. The ground shakes violently and it didn’t stop for 5 minutes. After the earthquake, there, a very huge Serpent on which I measured around 30 feet in length rose from the hole it created on the ground. It released a very loud hiss and the people began screaming.It was so tall and big that it can overshadow five-story building! I was amazed on
this creature! It was as Black as ebony and has very sharp and scary eyes. I always wondered what Titanoboa would look in real life! I was shocked in amazement that I didn’t even notice the people panicking and Liza, behind me shaking in fear.“I’m scared Brother!” she said“Let’s get out of here!” I snapped with her words and together, I carried her on my back as we ran away from the scene. But then, I suddenly heard a voice of a crying kid. I located where the scream is coming from, and I was stunned to see that it was only a few meters away from the raging serpent! He could have died! I couldn’t bear to leave the kid and so I first took Liza to safety. “Listen, I want you to stay here and don’t move until I come back okay?” I commanded“Okay! I promise!”I was about to leave when I felt a tug on the edge of my sleeves. I quickly turned to see Liza holding the edge of my long sleeve, trying to tell something“Please come back safe” she worriedly said. My heart melted and I hugged her as tight as I could. I’m glad all the hardships I experienced in the past led me to my new family and sister, Liza.“Brother it hurts!” she complained“Oh, hahaha! I’m sorry! I’m going ahead then.”
I left her and as fast as I could, ran back to the scene where the Serpent is raging. I pulled out my sword holster from the behind and pulled it out and whistled to the huge majestic monster. His attention caught me and started to charge towards me.
“Let’s test what kind of powers Pops gave me!” I said into my mind as I also charged against the raging monster.-end of the chapter-

The battle lasted for roughly two and a half hours. I ended the fierce duel using one, final slash with all the strength left in my body. I managed to cut the Serpent’s head into half as green liquid that seems to be the its blood spurted all throughout the town. Finally, the battle is over. The monster has been annihilated.I sighed as I let my body lay down on the ground. My entire body aches, particularly my shoulders, legs and all the muscles and bones in my body. Meanwhile, I could hear those people rejoicing by my victory but won’t even bother to go and help me. Talk about ungrateful folks, smh.I was about to close eyes when I heard someone scream my name. The voice.. it was familiar.. It was Liza!“Brother! Can you hear me?” she asked worriedlyI opened my eyes and answered her“I do. And why are you here little Princess?” I asked“Well, they won’t help you so I wi

Liza led them the way inside the hut. The man who seemed to be rich surprisingly entered our simple hut. It was unexpected for an elegant man to be seen in such place. The worst thing is, we have completely nothing to offer to them. There were ten people inside, including me and Liza. Not even the food we bought from the town will be enough for them so I instructed Liza to make Tea out of the wild ginger I saw from the backyard earlier and make loaves of bread from the wheat we bought.After some preparations, latent smell of freshly baked bread spread into the air, meaning, the food was done and it was devoured by the guests. Thankfully, they seemedto have liked the Ginger tea and the bread Liza made. After the Guests have eaten the snack,Liza went outside to pick more ginger and to make another set of tea as we proceed to talk about the job offer he presented to me earlier“Well, you could handle a serpent on which fifty trained men could hard

Looking around, Navi was, to be frank, really pissed off and confused at what he was seeing. Around him was a beautiful field of green grass, scattered with nice flowers of different varying colors. A few hundred yards off behind him was the start of a forest that kept going as far as his vision could go, and far off in the distance ahead, he could see the edge of what was probably a mountain or hill. Above him was plentiful of birds flying into the skies. The entire scenery was lovely, just the kind of place he would love to travel to relax. I mean who wouldn’t want to be in such place right? But the thing is, despite the beautiful scenery his eyes had been feasting. The reason for his anger was quite simple, at least in his mind. He expected to wake up in his own room! Not some random field! There wasn't scenery like this for hundreds of miles! "Where am I?" He whispered to himself, doing yet another slow spin to try and find some landmark he mi
