Chapter 4: Impossible!
' Good for me! I don't have to worry about the bastard anymore.' Kim Hyun Jee stood straight again, preparing to leave.
" Wait... I can't just leave him like this." His face scrunched up with pity. " I at least have to take care of whatever he came along with. It'd be a shame to leave them all alone out here with these wretched trees." He nodded to himself, a satisfied grin on his face.
He was already abandoned in this strange world with no means of support whatsoever, the least he could do was help the old man spend his last gold no?
Just then, two golden feathers materialized before Kim Hyun Jee before flying into his forehead and vanishing.
' Why did I receive a blessing all of a sudden and two at once?' Kim Hyun Jee raised a brow, He'd read about character's earning blessings from the gods of this story but that was only after doing something incredible or something that had great merit, but all he'd done was run away from an old man.
Thinking about it from someone else's perspective, he managed to escape a preordained fate, there by changing the sequence of events of this world, in a way, he did do something incredible.
' A blessing from a goddess huh...' Kim Hyun Jee didn't look happy in the slightest after obtaining the blessing because of two reasons. One was the thought of Myeong being the goddess herself irked him to no end, he knew she had anger issues but this?! This was too much.
Secondly, he felt even more frustrated because this at least told him that he really was transmigrated into that story.
Kim Hyun Jee felt depressed but he took a deep breath to calm himself down. Since it was a done deal that he was stuck here, he would make sure he survived to this blasted story came to an end. First things first, he had to check the old man for valuables.
Just to be safe, Kim Hyun Jee waited around the tree for awhile to make sure he didn't come across whatsoever had gotten the old man. Only after he was satisfied did he back track towards the old man's last location.
" So gross... So that's what happened" Kim Hyun Jee held back the urge to vomit when he saw the old man's corpse impaled in different parts of his body, face frozen in pain even in his last moments.
Kim Hyun Jee didn't stand there for long though. He made his way down into the skewering hole of a trap. He didn't bother pulling the old man's corpse free, instead he went forward and searched the old man without remorse.
He received 2 pouches from the old man's corpse, the first was ironically the same bribe the old man had received from the two knights, the second was his personal savings. The both of them amounted to a total of 10 gold, 300 silver and 10 bronze coins, he reckoned it was a hefty amount from his knowledge of this world.
Kim Hyun Jee then began climbing out of the hole, but the instant his head made it to the forest.
"..."
He froze when he saw several tall, muscular, green skinned women, covered in tattoos with tusk's jolting out of their mouths and pointed ears. Moreover, he was even more surprised to see floating numbers and letter's atop their heads.
Bond: -1(Wary)
Bond: -10(Wary)
Bond: -20(Dislike)
Bond: 0(Stranger)
Bond: -41(Enemy)
He didn't understand what the words fully meant yet, he knew there was no way he was leaving here on his own.
'... I'm f*cked'
"... Would you let me go if we split it fifty fifty?" Kim Hyun Jee forced an awkward pleading smile but one of the Orc females suddenly smacked him in the head from behind with her weapon.
As his vision diminished, Kim Hyun Jee felt his legs and arms being bound before his body was hoisted onto the shoulder of one of the female orcs then he completely fell unconscious.
After who knew who knew how long,
Kim Hyun Jee eventually regained consciousness. His first reaction was to move but the tightly bound rope around his limbs brought him back to reality as he recalled his situation.
' Oh yeah... I've been captured.'
' Great... So great. I killed a killer now multiple killers make an appearance.' Kim Hyun Jee's face scrunched up into a forced sad, teary look.
" What are you looking at?" The female orc carrying him glared at him when he glanced at her.
" Nothing nothing!" Kim Hyun Jee looked away with fear, just then her tusk had almost stabbed into his eyes when she turned to glare at him.
He decided to stay quiet throughout the remainder of the journey. Before he knew it the forest around them began to thin as they came into the open, Infront of them appeared a small orc settlement.
As the group of female orcs made their way into the settlement, Kim Hyun Jee shivered in fear when the settlement orcs they walked past would stare at him with starved looks as if looking at a fresh slab of meat.
Kim Hyun Jee found it peculiar that the number of male orcs within the settlement was far lower than the females, basically non existent. Nevertheless, that didn't do anything to lessen his fear from the tusked orc's hungry gazes.
He soon found himself taken into a shabby wooden cottage where he was presented on his knees before an even more menacing looking female orc who sat on a throne made of beast bones and beast fur.
Three parallel scars ran down from her left eye to her lips diagonally, even while sitting down, it did nothing to hide her chiseled abs, muscular biceps, triceps. Even her thighs were bigger than Kim Hyun Jee was used to but that wasn't her biggest quality yet.
' What on earth?! Are those even real?!'
' Are those G cups?! How are they that big?!' Staring at her large breasts which she covered with a beast fur top, Kim Hyun Jee unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, perspiration covering his face. But he didn't dare let his gaze linger, he wasn't foolish enough to think that she wouldn't rip his head clean off his spine if he dared to!
In the end, all he could do was try to
stop himself from trembling while staring into the chieftains menacing golden eyes.
