Rebirth: Lord

When his mind had ceased it's unproductive buzz, he was able to start thinking of a way out of this mess. If he ran the Chu men will catch him in a matter of minutes because of how weak his body was, if he stayed he was as good as dead, so he had only two options; up or down. Down means burial in leaf litter but he didn't have time to dig a depression to conceal his bulk, so up is faster. So his dilated pupils scanned for the best tree, it has to be tall, lots of branches to climb and enough leaves left from this encroaching autumn to give me some cover. My options are fairly limited but I pick a m.a.t.u.r.e Beech. The rough bark scuffs at his skin but these crude pursuers don't have science or dogs. All they have are blackish blood red uniforms and clumsy feet that announced how little time he had left. They were closing in from all angles now. His heart thuds more loudly than he wished it would, but he kept reminding himself that this drum is only beating in his own ears. Those Chu Scouts below are clueless of his location. When their net closes and the woods are empty about them they howled and gnashed when they noticed their brother's twisted neck...

"Ah!...Fourth Brother Was killed!!" A short Man yelled in indignation.

"He dares!... " another one chimed while gritting his teeth.

Counting the Number of pursuers, They were Six including the Dead one.

"He even took fourth Brother's Machete!... spread out and find this Bastard!" The skinny Man ordered and the rest went into action.

[tch... Common level 15 Npcs are giving me problems!, Only one who should be a problem is the Lvl 20 elite. ] Lu Tong thought.

as they moved out The Elite remained behind for some reason as his Black pupils scanned the scene once More and He raised his boney right hand with flaming embers forming at the tips of his fingers.

"I Don't mind smoking you out!" The flaming fireball left the wizards hand and Struck the beech tree.

BOOM!!!

The explosion had most likely incurred the attention of the others. this fool doesn't mind causing a Forest fire.

Lu Tong Quickly jumped off the falling tree and landed unto the next available branch.

kruukruukukuku!

"Ah!" Lu Tong unconsciously shrieked as he almost lost balance.

The Mage immediately turned back and aimed another fire ball at him while muttering low chants, "Found you... eat this Bastard!"

swoosh!

Bang!

Lu Tong refused to stand still as he struggled from one tree to another.

The sounds of swords flourishingly echoed out from behind as the Chu men drew out their swords and gave chase together.

Lu Tong had already dashed towards the hill in the distance as he planned to use that location to get some advantage. flames flickered in the distance behind them as the forest began burning fast and this made him feel goosebumps crawling all over his skin.

[I could have been killed...just like that ] He thought.

He was not a veteran Character with hundreds of levels any longer, and he presently had little to nothing to survive with. He could only braced himself as to what would come next.

[F.u.c.k! They're fast! How in heavens name did the original Lu Tong even survive?] Lu Tong continued to complain about his predicament. what he didn't know was that the original had peacefully allowed himself to be taken and was eventually sold out as a slave.

His lungs felt like they were burning, but he still managed to reach the base of the Hill before the Chu Scouts caught up. Before he could even relax, multiple fireballs came flying his way.

Fortunately he was able to dodge in time until one came to close for comfort as it struck the floor next to him and sent him flying by over a two meter distance.

BOOM!!!

"Ah!" an embarrassing scream left his mouth as he unintentionally rolled after his fall, The machete he held in a tight grip had grazed the side of his face, causing it to bleed.

"This is just too much!" Lu Tong heart raced as his body felt heavy. Although he knew that at the top of the hill was an even much thicker vegetation, he was sure that he would have a good chance to beat this careless Mage or at least the only solution he could think of.

[Won't be long now?...based on his level, His mana would soon be out but then I can only hope that he doesn't have MP Potions] Lu Tong Thought as he finally got to the top.

"Dammit! " The mage panted heavily with his waist bent. he could not help but raise his head to look at Lu Tong with a Hateful glare. He had greatly surprised him with his decisiveness.

The rest Quickly followed up with low grunts, they too were getting exhausted.

[luckily my gambling paid off, and it is even better...the mage stayed behind.]Lu Tong breath a sigh of relief as he watched them approach.

[Regardless, I need to try to think of a way to pull this off . if I can get 2 of them First and get the basic Warrior class, I'd get a boost in strength and stamina.]

The Chu Scouts had arrived up and once again chose to split up and search for clues on the direction he ran in. They would never have thought that he was going to lay ambush.

[Be calm, Be calm... it's just one of those missions you have done, yes, yes it's just one of them... No need to worry] As Lu Tong spotted one of them, he began brain washing himself.

He breathed in deeply to regain his composure. He held the machete so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

soon enough The Sturdy Chu scout violently smash a top a shrub while grumbling about how hungry he was, causing the edges of Lu Tong's mouth to twitch.

[If I can get a clean hit on his head, level wouldn't matter!] He thought as he approached the scout, Then he swung the machete while activating the attached skill .

SWOOOSH!!!

Dust flew sharply and hovered everywhere from the impact as the Scout's head went flying and the body spewed Blood everywhere.

"Ugh! !" Lu Tong almost threw up his non existent breakfast but swallowed it back, [This was why I turned off the gore back then, too bad I can't now.]

He approached the body and the only thing worth anything were 3 silver coins and a metal chain.

.

He then read the instructions,
