"I'm gonna die… I'm gonna die… those… those people there… they're not human…" I said, my voice shaking uncontrollably as panic gripped my chest at the sight before me. My breathing became uneven, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of my chest at any moment.
"A normal human is… not supposed to do that… it's… It's not possible…" My eyes trembled as I stared, my body refusing to calm down no matter how much I tried.
"It's not normal… no… nothing in this forest is normal… the bear… the snake… and that weird stomach-aching fruit…"
My thoughts spiraled out of control, each memory flashing through my mind, making the fear even worse. My hands trembled, my legs felt weak, and a cold chill ran down my spine. He covered his face, tears streaming down his hands," I don't wanna die, I was gonna have a good job, my future was bright for a second, I was gonna make my family happy."
At that thought, a moment of realization hit me.
"My dad, Mum, brother, sister… Yeah, they're all waiting for me to come back home…",The words came out slowly, almost like I didn't want to believe them.
Tears slowly dropped from my eyes. A smile… slowly came across my face.
"No… they are probably sad cause I died…",My arm moved almost on its own as I wiped a tear off my face."Haha…"I giggled silently, trying to keep the sound low so that the fighters, who were still fighting, wouldn't notice me.
"I can't believe I almost gave up…" My voice was quiet, but it trembled.
"I mean, I'm alive by some miracle, right… and here I am crying cause I'm about to die again…"
Another tear dropped. Then another. I didn't stop it.
"That's not how it's supposed to be…",My breathing became uneven, but I forced myself to continue."I should be thinking of how to escape…"
My fingers tightened slightly."I mean, I don't even give a damn if this is hell, heaven, or even a murim world…"My voice grew a little stronger.
But the tears didn't stop."I'm gonna make it out of here…"
My vision blurred as more tears rolled down my face."And go see my family." With renewed conviction, I was ready to start again.
I looked at the fighter, Hung Chug, who was beating the hell out of the soldier with a sinister grin that gave me nightmares more than my nightmares." Firstly, I need to identify my environment", he said as Hung Chug bashed the face of a soldier with his face, resulting in blood spilling.
"There has been a wide variety of mythical animals, plants, and strong humans." Then he realized something," I can't believe it, I just said it 5 seconds ago, this is a murim world like, you can see it in their dressing, their way of speech, and how they show their technique while fighting". a smile brewed on my face; another thought hit me: "but still this might just be a hypothesis..." A soldier was slammed against the tree I was hiding behind.
Hung Chug was standing victorious; the other soldier was lying on the ground, bleeding from his head, mouth, hand, and torso. The red aura is getting redder. Using his curved sword, he pointed at the goons, "Go and check what is in the carriage."
The goons answered simultaneously"Yes, sir" and moved towards the carriage, Hung Chug, then faced their attention to the soldier in the crater, who was whimpering in pain."Now let's continue from where we stopped", Hung Chug said, but was interrupted by the sound of his goons being thrown away. He turned "who dares to...", he stopped halfway due to shock at the sight before him, and even Xu Luo was stunned. It was a woman coming out of the carriage. She was beautiful, the sun shone upon her like a descending angel, her long, black, silky hair, pink long dress, which couldn't hide her amazing body and elegant posture, and her amazing body could make any man crumble at her sight.
Looking around and spotting the state of her soldiers, she turned to look at Hung Chug, who was still staring at her with his aura still evaporating.
"You did this to my subordinate", she said with her calm and beautiful soft voice.
"Well, I'm not surprised, they are weak, She said
Hung Chug was shaking, "This calm and gentle aura," he thought, his hand dropped, and he spoke out," You... you are Ling Hazan, the gentle tyrant."
"Oh, you knew my name, and u still dared attack this carriage", she said
Hung Chug was still shaking
"Or could it be you didn't see the Hazan symbol on the carriage?" she said, looking at the blue lady painted on the carriage.
L-goons, groaning as he struggles to stand, "I can't believe we didn't see it." He stands, limping on one leg." The Hazan symbol of the nation, far east of this place, is ruled by none other than Ling Hazan, the gentle tyrant. After hearing of her father planning to hand over the Crown to an illegitimate son, she killed them, all of them, the king, the illegitimate son, and anyone who oppressed her. The name gentle tyrant was given because of how she hides her wickedness with her gentle manner of behavior and speech."
Hung Chug was standing, sweat dripping from his face. He had never seen anything like this. The woman right in front of him was beyond anyone he had faced," shit", he thought. Hung Chug was experiencing fear for the first time in a long time; his legs were quivering, his grip on his sword was loosening, and his body was screaming for him to kneel and beg for mercy, because running away from this woman would be pointless.
Yet, there was a problem. Hung Chug hated the idea. Begging for mercy was impossible for him; to experience fear was something impossible for him, even in his nightmares. gripping his sword," impossible me afraid impossible and to a woman of all creature.", his veins were bulging his boil was rushing, steaming puffing out of his body as sweat dripped, the red aura on his body grew, ore redder, He roared out of anger, stopped on the ground and shouted" I, Hung Chug, fears no one", then at that moment a gentle breeze blew the vicinity, at that time the soldiers had already moved to the side of the carriage, and Xu Luo, was still hiding behind his tree, eyes wide with shock," t...This woman caused the gentle breeze by slightly raising her hand upwards, and the way she did it was as if gently calling to the heavens.", he said, not noticing the sky getting dark.
Hung Chug, His goons, and Xu Luo stood there in awe of such gentle elegance and posture. Then a proclamation was made with a cold, commanding voice.

Immediately, she brought her hand down, a great violent gust of wind blew immediately, trees moved violently towards the wind's direction, some pulled off the ground sand, birds and some animals were carried away by its, dust flew in all directions, pieces of earth crumbled and blew away, the two goons were blown away far from the eyes can see. Hung Chug stood there resisting as his clothes blew in the opposite direction.
"Oh, you can still stand despite this amount of wind force."
Looking at Hung Chug, she smirked," I commend your efforts." She raised her hands, the breeze settled slowly, the clouds were getting brighter, Hung Chug quickly gained his footing and panted heavily, frowned as this sweat dropped to his ground,
he roared" rahhhhhhhh!", his red aura growing higher and thicker, the air vibrating "I'll kill you" he roared again and laughed at her, but right when his sword was about to reach her head she proclaimed

She brought her hand down, and the immediate gust of wind sent Hung Chug flying and cleared the darkened sky. Hazan looked at him for a while and turned to enter the carriage before she did. She turned to her wounded soldiers, who were still trying to stand despite their injuries,
" Be quick and get this thing moving. We have to be there in the morning so that I can watch you cut your wife's finger for failing to stop a bunch of bandits."
The soldier, in fear, bowed and said, " Yes, your highness ."
"Good", she replied as she entered the carriage.
Future, Xu Luo, continued, "That day was the very first day I encountered humans in this new world. I still can't forget that day." A branch fell, and he bent down to pick it up, "cause I was caught up in the great wave and blown far away from my original path. Well, luckily for me, I landed in a tall tree. Well, yes, you can guess it was difficult to come down from."
