Leon almost screamed with a startled look when the naked exhibitionist called out his name. With his mind on high alert, he even tried to move away only to hear the guy scream his name again.

"Brother Leon, why are shrinking back?" asked the question he even jumped toward Leon only to get kicked on his chin which sent him away.

"Who the fuck are you?"Leon asked with a disgusted expression.

"It's me...Lucien?"

"Who?"Leon made a surprised expression while thinking that the name did sound familiar.

"Brother, it's me...How can you forget that? We met in Vista?"

"Vista..."Leon murmured and then looked at the spear held by the gur,when it struck him.

"OH! I remember, you that bratty useless boy who cried for revenge."

Lucien's expression changed feeling embarrassed as he tried to refute Leon's words but ignoring it Leon asked the crux matter.

"Wait! What are you doing here? How did you even end up here?" Leon asked staring at dirk stricken Lucien.

How the hell did he transverse from Earth to end up in this place out of nowhere all alone with just a piece of cloth to hide his genitals?

Hearing this, Lucien made an embarrassed expression and rubbed his head a bit.

Lucien took a deep breath, trying to calm himself as he began his narrative, his voice quivering with a mix of exhaustion and relief.

"Back on Earth, things took a turn for the worse. I had targeted a group of people transporting a treasure. I thought it would be a simple job—knock them out, grab the box, and be on my way. But then, something went terribly wrong."

He paused, shuddering at the memory. "I was about to leave with the treasure when I was hit by an overwhelming power. It felt like the presence of a Saint, an aura so strong it nearly crushed me. I fought with everything I had, using my secret skills and every trick in my book. But it was no use. The strength of that aura was beyond anything I could handle."

Leon felt bored hearing the same cliche plot.

Lucien's eyes grew distant as he continued. "In my desperation, I could only swallow my grief and try to escape. But the man pursued me relentlessly. On the brink of death, I didn't even understand what was happening. I slashed at the space itself, and somehow, it created a rift and a tear in reality. That's how I ended up here."

His eyes welled up with tears, and he rubbed his face with his hand. "I landed in this strange place. My clothes were torn apart, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself in this nightmarish land, covered in black gooey substances and surrounded by these bizarre tree monsters trying to kill me."

Lucien's tears flowed freely now, his voice breaking. "Wu... Wu... Wu... Thank God you're here, Brother Leon. I'm so hungry and tired. I just want to get out of this place."

His sobs started echoing in the place and to find solace, he immediately jumped up at Leon only to be kicked by him again.

"Just stop pouncing on me...Can't you see your own appearance," Leon shouted while massaging his head wondering if he should have let this bastard die.

Just then, he heard the system's voice.

[You have saved a protagonist from trouble. You have gained 100 counter attack points.]

"Hmm! I am a good guy. How can I leave a boy in trouble to fend off."

Changing his stance, Leon threw some clothes at Lucien and asked, "Hey clean up somewhere and wear this. Also, have some snacks."

The moment Lucien heard this,his eyes lit up immediately.

"Uwuwjwuw.....I knew it...Brother Leon is the best."

Lucien immediately jumped on gobbling the food like mad man while Leon took a moment to observe the surroundings.

He rose up in the sky to look at the destruction behind only to find his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

A bit far away from dense bushes, he spotted what was a huge patch of barren land with a deep creature where nothing existed.

Black smoke seemed to rise up into the place.

His small black hole almost engulfed the entire place empty. He even frightened himself as if he didn't escaped didn't that mean he would be killed by his own attack?

This power was a bit too strong and unstable.

Now, he needed to solve the most important question.

That was...

Despite managing to control his power of darkness well, it was still difficult to unleash its full potential.

Leon then spotted several glowing pieces in the undergoing.

"The remaining part of Vortugen's body had gone but the crystal still remained...By the way, I don't think it's a coincidence that this little boy appeared here.." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Was there something he was going to gain by killing the monster?"Leon rubbed his chin while trying to suppress his curiosity as he was sure that his system would empty him if he asked this.

Now, he needed to solve the most important question.

That was...

Where the hell was he?

And which direction he would go.

Looking down he shouted to draw Lucien's attention, "Hey, do you know where a human settlement is or do you have a way to know the direction leading to them."

Lucien, who was chugging food, paused and spoke with an innocent expression, "I don't know anything brother..I am new here. However, I wonder why the sky is like this and I see fewer round objects.This part of the earth sky is so beautiful."

Leon facepalmed hearing this idiot and broke his fantasy,"This isn't Earth boy..."

"What?"Lucien shouted and jumped in panic.

"This isn't Earth...Then..where are we?"

Leon stopped entertaining and just asked the system about human settlements.

[10 luck points.]

"Do it.."

SWOOSH!

Leon's eyes shone with a golden austere.A familiar golden threat appeared in his vision that disappeared on the horizon.

"I see..so it's 400 kilometers away..."
