Soon after waking, both Issei and Liora began moving as the other elves would soon be after them, and there was no telling when they could arrive since an entire morning had passed.

"We should eat something quickly." Issei stated, walking little under ten-fifteen feet in the direction of the lake, which was in front of them simply put.

I'm wondering if the fish down here are normal...hmm, yeah, nope, no chance they're normal. Issei thought, sighing as he rolled up his sleeves and pants a little bit.

And with a step into the water and then another, Issei positioned himself slightly over the water, tilting his body over, creating a shadow of himself over the water.

He waited for a little while, and eventually, Issei began to see a shadow in the water, and it was pretty big. Preparing to attack the big fish, Issei heard Liora speak up, breaking his focus.

"That fish under you is a Behae. They're harmless. That is unless you were a smaller fish." When she said this, Issei watched the water, and it stopped exactly at his feet, seemingly starting to swim circles around his foot.

Sighing, Issei spoke up to Liora. "Thank goodness peaceful things can live in dangerous places too~" Hearing this, Liora chuckled saying that the Behae usually serves itself on a platter for anyone trying to catch it due to its lack of intelligence, and that the only reason they were alive for the most part, was because of its hyper reproduction capabilities and that it took just under a month for them to mature completely.

"Huh... so these guys are a problem?" Issei asked with a curious nod, as to which Liora would say not really due to the fact other things apart from the elves ate them too.

This tempted Issei to ask about the situation underwater. If in this lake there were any dangerous stuff apart from the water.

"Of course. All sorts of things live under here, ... OH, yeah, the water spirits and leviathans." Nodding Liora gave Issei a wary smile and muttered "and...leeches~" hearing this Issei nearly jumped out of the water with a little scream, but kept his cool and did not scream and instead just got out of the water fairly quickly after grabbing the fish which allowed itself to get caught with no retaliation.

Wanting to quickly get a move on, Issei roasted the fish for them both to eat, so he gave her slightly a larger portion. "Go on. You'll need it..." he looked off to the side, nervous, he could guess.

When she greatfuly accepted the simple decent breakfast, both made small talk quickly, finishing the meal and beginning their directionless continued escape. For nearly two hours, both Issei and Liora had no troubles, but something was certain, and that was that they were being watched by something.

"Somethings been watching us." Issei muttered to the girl on his back as they flew from tree to tree.

"Per-perhaps its a wyvern... or a world eagle. Both nests aren't anywhere close, so they might be hunting."  Liora's knowledge as a local was really helpful to Issei right now, and as she mentioned, it was one of the two, and Issei could now confirm this due to the fact he could hear the noise something would make when diving down from the sky.

"We've got visitors." Issei muttered hoping to the left while rotating summoning Excalibur rapidly. "I need a better weapon for sure..." Issei thought to himself as this one was flashy but also seemingly weak for his current power. That's when he let go of it de-materializing Rapidly and simply with his hand, he pointed in the direction of the quickly approaching world eagle, and he then opened up the shop quickly choosing an attack move to buy.

"Hell shot," he bought and used on the incoming eagle. The ability was rather simple, black flames erupted from an arrow formed attack, and he would then shoot it off, causing a pretty big explosion. Seeing it did do a lot of damage and included the after effects and dark burn. Which meant that if survived, the anger effects would still do damage to you alive or not honestly. It was fairly stronger than just burn with hotter flames and a more aggressive burn added.

With the world eagle now crashed on the ground, Issei activated his three tome sharingan. It's dead, he thought, and he was right for the most part. But then he'd hear something else approch from the sky.

"It wasn't hunting. It was fleeing and took the opportunity to attack us!" Liora yelled, seeing a red wyvern approach from afar still not noticing them. "Yikes... time to go then!" Issei yelled aloud, running away with Liora still on his back.

After a long while of running, Issei and Liora would then arrive at their destination, which was simply put, a place that could be safe for them to camp. Little did Issei know, something great was approaching from afar, and on their trail, yet still days away...

With night approaching, Liora was already asleep since Issei had given her the chance after cooking and eating something basic for dinner.

With the night now being above them at full might, Issei could only hear the wildlife noises surrounding them in the dead of night.

"Shop open. Systems area." After saying this, the shop activated leading Issei to the options he had.

System Shop: Here are the recommended systems to you. However should you choose, you may choose all and see all the systems.

System shop: which of these do you request?
Gatcha systems
Health systems

"Gatcha... Like the games?" Issei wondered choosing that one.

System shop: Within this category, you'll be allowed to summon one type of gatcha verse but may expand at the usage of system points. You currently have two. One will be used upon the purchase of the gatcha system. The starting verse will be as the name mentions, based off of gatcha.

Hmmmm ill get it, Issei thought buying it and being made to spin a fully black wheel. When the wheel started to slow down, Issei noticed a name pop up when it did stop. "Fgo (Fate verse gatcha)"

"Fate verse?" Issei found himself confused thinking it was more game character related but... he hadn't known.

"Your class will be chosen at random. 3...2...1...0... Assassin class is your first class. Say summon for this servent to appear." The system notified Issei who at this point was thinking about his refund options...if he had any.

"Summon." With this the virtual card began to disolve in the screen and then another magic circle appeared in front of Issei.

Appearing blue, the circle after a moment summoned a aura, before the servent, the aura black, and appearing body, white black and bits of blue. It's eye sockets filled with a blue firey gaze, the summoning having finished, caused Issei to feel an overwhelming sense of dred. "I'm- shaking- is this death in the form of a presence?

After looking at whatever was now in place of the now gone magic circle, he could see a Skeletal figure in front of him and it spoke "Fear not, contractor. The old man of the mountain hath come to answer thy summons. I have no name. Address me as thou wilt."

Hearing the Skeletal man (First hassan) talk sent shivers down Isseis spine and his presence alone did so too
