Sword Of The Tyrant King Vol 2

Chapter 1: An unfamiliar ceiling

While Arata was laying there he had dreams, of when he was a boy, a really young boy, he was there with someone else that was older, they went on a mountain trail together, when a monster suddenly appeared, the other boy there had protected Arata when he was really young. "Why, why can't I remember this memory?"

Arata opened his eyes, looked around and saw a window next to him, he analyzed himself, and had realized that a little strand of his hair had turned snowy white. He was confused but tried to assess the situation and remember what happened. "Let's see. I remember getting attacked, my village was razed to the ground and I heard 2 people's voices...Where are they by the way"? He looked and saw that the house he was in, was definitely a tree, and that he was now laying in a bed, in a tree "ummm, I am sleeping in a tree?" He looked around some more and only got more confused.

"How in the world did I end up in a forest! Wait, if I am laying on a bed, then that must mean I am somewhere, probably a village." He got up and was able to walk "At least nothing's bro-" Right as he stood up, he collapsed. "What the-" He was kneeling by now and he thought "Why can't I walk straight, Come on work, freaking legs!" He could stand up, and used a nearby cabinet as support.

He was then greeted with a slam in the face with a door, he didn't realize that he was near a door. He fainted....

"Ummm, are you okay?" He heard a girl's voice, and saw the face of a child, no more than 8 years old. She had a mischievous face with a worried face she leaned in. Her body was petite with short blond hair. "Ugh, yeah, I am fine. Uhh, who are you?" "That's good! Heeeeeey! Sarumaaaa! He's awake!" Just then, a crash was heard and a loud bang was audible, when a grown man with lazy white hair appeared and said "What the living hell is wrong with you!?"

Then he saw Arata. Saruma had a face that said "I get it" but Saruma wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed or maybe he was just too lazy to remember anything. "Who's this?" Saruma had lazy white hair, lanky body, and green eyes, wearing a kimono. He strode over to where Arata was "Saruma! How could you forget, this is the boy we were told to look after!"

"Uhh, hi?" Arata stood there confused on what was happening. Saruma stood there, muttered "Oh, so this is the guy that was left for dead by the dark general himself, heh, consider him lucky to be alive, it's not like is concerns me, it's more of his problem, I don't get why I was told to take care of a worthless boy even though we are the same age. I don't care what happens to him, I care but why did he have to be brought to this village, there is another village not too far from here..."

Arata stood there "I-Is he whining?" "He does that a lot. Oi, Saruma, inform the lord now!" "Why can't you do it?" "Because I have to tell this guy what happened to him!" She stood there pointing at Arata "Fiiiiiine, you owe me." "This was your job to begin with!" Saruma had left and now it was just the girl and Arata. "My name is Arata." "Oh, that's good, At least you still remember your name. My name is Kaguru Watanabe." "Oh, then I should use my last name also, Arata, Arata Azure."

After Arata had introduced himself, the girl named Kaguru explained what had happened. "We went to investigate the smoke rising from Devero, by the time we had made it there though, the village was burned to the ground. We searched the village for any survivors and we found you laying on your stomach in the mud. We carried you back to our village where you had stopped breathing, so our gracious lord bestowed upon you a second chance to live!"

"...So I was about to die?" "Yep, when we saved your life." "Then who in the hell was about to electrocute me?" Kaguru's face had turned pale. "Umm, it might've been me..." she said dejectedly." I see, well if it wasn't for you, I probably would have died, so, thank you." He smiled, then patted Kaguru on the head. "By the way, what village am I in? Is this Murakumo?" "No, this is Nubatama, right now we are in Sunabenten, the second biggest village in the clan of Nubatama. Why do you ask Arata?" "Oh, it's just that, I was going to meet back up with my friends back at Murakumo..." "Hmm, I think My lord can write them a letter if you asked him." "Really?! Thanks!"
