Between The Worlds

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

The girl said with bossy voice. It seemed as if it's her true nature, thus, Raphel confirmed his thoughts and closed his eyes. He can not let himself be acquainted with her! Doing his best to patiently ignore her, he cursed inwardly.

'Damn police. What takes you so long? If she wasn't as strong as bear then those thugs already would've taken care of her three times!'

Raphel laid himself on the wall as the girl kept her eyes on him. Since the silent atmosphere with thugs laying down on the ground was too strange, she had opened her mouth only to introduce herself and ask the question lingering on her mind.

"I am Anna. Do you train some kind of martials arts?"

"No."

Answering briefly, Raphel turned to look at the side. All because the eyes of the girl became even more narrowed with dangerous light. Well, she just introduced herself yet this man not only didn't introduce himself, but also lied.

"Don't lie!"

She became violent all of sudden as she slammed her palm onto the wall next to Raphel's head.

"Your movements might suck, but that's not movement of newbie. You at least must have trained for a while."

'Only for a little more than week! Damn! Just leave me alone.'

"Give me-"

Raphel stopped her speech as he released his Human Bear Palm Strike. Hadn't he already made it clear that he doesn't want to talk with her? Yet she only pressed forward with her queen like attitude angering the coward Raphel who already was tolerate enough.

However, to make the coward Raphel to release his palm strike, one can say this girl is good indeed. As she dodged his attack, her arm beautifuly went forward viciously aiming for his c.h.e.s.t! And her attack was successful as Raphel growled in pain.

Still!

"Stop! Police is here! Down, to the ground!"

"Shit..."

The girl began escaping and every policeman chased after her, ignoring poor Raphel who was laying on the ground hugging his c.h.e.s.t...

"Misfortunes... Damn misfortunes!"

Raphel cursed loudly and staggeringly went back home hoping to not meet another weirdos.

-

Another world!

Raphel woke up immediately. Looking around, he gulped. There should be big fortune and he even had thoughts of waking up in Shi's soft body, but the reality told otherwise. After all, Shi herself, although 500 years old, was v.i.r.g.i.n!

'I have to take initiative... Holy shit!'

And so we have another misfortune.

Leaving his room, Raphel began asking his members for free bottles. Then as usual, went into other divisions to ask nicely. People, of course laughed at him, but now, had prepared bottles in one stock so that he doesn't have to go room by room.

"Thank you."

"Yeah, work hard, little lizardman."

Raphel bowed and left. Since the easiest way to get stronger is by purifying his bloodline, Raphel must go to dungeon alone and gather as much stones as possible. However, with his little strength, Raphel knew he can only go to 1st or 2nd floor.

The best way would be to go to those farms. There, one can choose to fight one against one, or as much as one wants... Those farms have grasped the perfect control over 'respawn cores' allowing them to gather and train in most efficient way...

Of course, Raphel has another misfortune as his division doesn't have any farm. Thus, Raphel decided!

'I must prepare as much as possible venom bottles and not waste even one!'

When he uses venom directly from his body, Raphel quickly exhausts his stamina. However, if he only runs and throws his venom from external resources, then he can easily hunt for whole day without any breaks!

Then, the only reason to use his venom directly would be when he either gets attacked by other guilds or the amount of monsters exceed his throwing abilities...

However! The best part is that he is going to eat stones from monster on the spot! Thus, when he leaves dungeon without any stones, they won't suspect him that he hid them somewhere!

'But it would be nice to have item that can hold many items in another dimension...'

While thinking about his future movements, Raphel passed next to training grounds. Here, he saw members of the Imblazire Guild fighting others with their beast on the front... Then, he spotted Shi fighting in close combat with the leader!

"Eh, why?"

Isn't Shi mage or someone like that? Raphel didn't know that Shi has some close combat experience! She was fighting directly while releasing some fireballs or water ones from close range. She was doing this so that she can raise her stamina and magic at the same time!

Looking at the bottles, Raphel decided to quickly fill them with venom and invite Shi for some dungeon hunting. The amount of bottles was quite nice, thus, Raphel estimated it is going to take at least two or three days...

During this time, Raphel wants to spend some time with the young bear and on the Earth in the dojo to train his kicks more...
