Whatever just happened, it couldn’t be explained.
Dark magic wasn’t supposed to work, according to the laws of the world. It was something his family practiced quite regularly though, something a child still a few months shy of adulthood wasn’t supposed to have a good handle on; it was something he studied and practiced irregularly, given his brother was the one who taught it the most, but he never particularly gave it much credibility when concocting potions and spells.
But he could be sure that something impossible did indeed occur, and he was now face-first on a dark forest floor after an unexplained warp and an ungraceful fall. The invitation to sleep was great, but being in an unknown location made him more awake than he wanted to be. Pushing himself quietly off the dirt, he scanned the area around him for anything familiar, or at least some way to help himself get back to where he was before.

Constantly craving for money, Hans was the type of individual who valued money above everything else in the world. The assassin was willing to do almost anything for money; and while his views were despicable to many people, he didn’t see anything wrong with being in love with money. A shrill noise caught his sensitive ears’ attention. The sound was emanating from something unpleasant. It was most likely a kyouma. Their numbers seemed to be increasing everyday; but he wasn’t worried since he was more powerful than them.
Oh. It seemed like one managed to find him. Jumping in the air, he dodged the attack from the ferocious beast with ease. “Umenyao!” As he landed on a tree branch, he noticed there was a kid standing near the beast. Before the monster could even notice his presence, the cat sprung nto action and sliced its head off. Landing next to the boy, a grin appeared on his face as he leaned in uncomfortably close to him. “Aren’t you lucky I was here. You would have died otherwise nya. How unpleasant that would have been nyahahaha.”
