Card Master System - Chapter 3 Village

As Leo sprinted with all of his strength towards the village, he realized that there were actually no other humans around his surroundings. Rather, there were some animals that seemed to not be very friendly.

Seeing so many recognizable animals, Leo felt that this place where he ended up might not be so bad. However, he then saw a big corpse up ahead.

With a dead corpse peaking his interest, Leo decided to head towards it to inspect the corpse. Since the corpse was so close to a village, Leo felt that nothing strange should happen.

As he got closer to the corpse, he realized that it was a bear like creature which looked even more savage. It was about ten yards tall, and it had something shining within it’s abdomen. The corpse, was obviously from some type of bear tribe, but, it also had a human type of body. Looking close by, Leo saw that it’s head was being eaten by a group of what could be considered a pack of deer.

“I wonder what could be shining from a dead corpse?” slowly drawing closer to the dead corpse, Leo realized that it was some type of card.

Picking up the card and looking at the image on it, Leo started to feel his hands shake violently. “Why was there a card in this corpse’s abdomen, that looked exactly like the corpse?”

Leo was very puzzled seeing this. However, he casually put the card he now obtained from the corpse into the pocket of his robe as he began to head towards the village.

“This is only becoming stranger and stranger. I hope that the village is not filled with those type of bear tribe monsters.” Leo felt goosebumps covering his body as he shook his head.

“Halt!”

Once Leo finally arrived several yards from the village’s gates, he heard some of its guards yell out to him. To his relief, the guards were human! Pausing his movements, two of the guards climbed down the walls as another three surrounded him.

“I have never seen you within our village. There is no way that you are a spy, since we are the only human village for several hundred kilometers. Who exactly are you brat?”

Walking towards him from behind the guards, a middle aged man covered in armor with a heroic aura, couldn’t help but groan to himself as his gaze shot towards Leo.

“Either way, no spy would be as young as you are. Therefore, you will be welcomed to our village, I just hope that you survive by tomorrow. Would be a shame for a little brat dying before seeing tomorrow’s sunrise.” said the middle aged man.

“Why are you all standing around like dummies? You know that we are getting attacked tonight by a small wave of monsters from those mountains. Hurry up and bring this little brat inside and get back to your positions.” the middle aged man ordered while he walked back into the village.

“Yes Master Nathan!” the guards shouted in response, as they escorted Leo into the village.

“Hey kid, you see that building over there with the bright red flag? Do us a favor and head inside, with the right amount of luck, you could survive tonight’s wave of monsters.” one of the guards said as he shoved Leo forward. causing Leo to fall face first into a patch of dirt.
