Chapter 6: Chapter 6 – State of the Murim

Danny took a hike through the forest, walking at a leisurely pace to the town that he found himself teleported to

This was unlike the extreme speed he ran, naked and confused in a strange land when he arrived

It wasn't because he was fearful of anything, but he was causing too much of a commotion, either from being different from the rest, or from being naked. 

Furthermore, the place seemed to be full of people of Asian descent, like his friend and lover Lily, but none of them spoke English, nor seem like they've ever seen a Caucasian man before, calling him White Devil

As the hero of Rathia, his main ability was to learn and progress at frightening speeds. So among other things such as picking up the skills of playing the piano from Haily, to the various forms of dancing from Rochelle and Lily, to even cooking with Monica, he had started to pick up the language her quickly. But as most of the shouts seemed to be "White Devil", he needed to hear more to understand the language better

Living 5 years on Rathia, he had learned fighting abilities that surpassed all the warriors of Rathia, and mastered both aura and mana, enabling him to both battle using aura, and use mana for magic. His body also had the strength, speed, endurance and other physical prowess that were practically superhuman, enabling him to surpass all the monsters of Rathia, even the Demon Lord!

Fortunately, he lost none of his skills, which enabled him to kill the large snake dragon by the lake. He thought it was a Demon Lord or something, as he had wanted to return to Earth, but it was a mere dragon. 

He arrived back at the village, walking half a day from the dense jungle. But when he arrived, although he hid his head in a hood, he still stuck out like a sore thumb, as his clothes were so different from everyone else, he might as well have been an alien

The crowd turned to avoid him, and the people around started running to hide. The shopkeepers started keeping away their wares as he walked past them

Guard started running towards him, but at least they weren't calling him "White Devil". But he hadn't yet understood anything else yet, and stood still, raising his hands to calm them down

"... going? .... ...... weapons.." the guard yelled at him as he started catching and understanding more words

The guards started getting angrier and yelled louder as he started recognizing what they wanted

"...why are you here? Are you from the Mountain Bandits? Surrender your weapon or we will kill you" the guard shouted

"I... was summoned here. Please take me to your leader" Danny said in stuttering speech

"Who summoned you? Surrender!" another guard kept yelling

Danny nodded and passed over his trident and sword, both made out of the dragon's horn and the guards quickly seized them

The guard that took his weapons groaned as he collapsed under the weight of the weapons, and screamed as he was pinned under them, unable to breathe

Another 3 guards helped him as it took two guards each to lift them and carry them away

Danny watched quietly, and noted that the guards were using something similar to aura, only the energy seemed to be different than aura

The guards quickly bound him in rope and he followed them after they tried and failed to drag him along

To his disappointment, he was taken to a prison, which was built underground and his hood was pulled open

"White Demon!" the guard yelled seeing his face and confiscated his cloak and even the necklace with the dragon tooth

He was stripped at sword point down to his pants and they even took his dragon leather shoes, leaving him in his leather pants

Danny wasn't pleased as he had just sewed his own clothes, but he allowed himself to be shoved behind iron bars and chained to the wall with several other men next to him

There were other prisoners too, who were not chained. Perhaps the more serious criminals were treated worse

He sighed but remained calm, hoping something good would come out of this, but he was having his doubts

The guards left him and he looked around the jail cell

There were men seated on the dirty floor with only random straw scattered around. The men all looked emaciated and suffered from mistreatment 

There was a filthy stream of urine at the corner together with human excrement where all the prisoners were forced to relieve themselves

"My name is.... White Devil. Where is this?" Danny asked, deciding that being called White Devil might as well be his name since everyone was automatically calling him that

But most of the men ignored him, all except the man chained next to him who had frazzled hair that covered his eyes and a wild beard and moustache messily covering his face

"Nobody will answer you here. The men of the Murim will not answer a White Devil" he laughed

"Oh? So you are not a man of the Murim?" Danny asked, assuming that this land was called Murim

"Pah!" the man spat before continuing

"Fuckers... hypocrites all of them. To me, there is no difference between the orthodox faction and the demonic factions. One side covets power but pretends not to, and the other openly worships power. But at least the demonic faction is honest and isn't shy about their lust for power. Both sides will do anything to attain power, but who suffers? Us ordinary folks! We are nothing to them. When they fight, it is the people who suffer" he ranted

Danny listened as the man continued to rant, as he listened to the many forces, from the Nine Skies, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Mount Hua Sect, the Poison Sect, the Shaolin Temple, the the Southern Sword Sect, Emei Sect, Qingcheng Sect, the Heavenly Demon sect and many more

The other prisoners started joining in as an animated argument ensued as to who was most powerful. Various names popped up but the ones that seemed to be most popular on the Orthodox side was the Plum Blossom Saint of the Mount Hua Sect, and the Heavenly Demon from the Heavenly Demon Sect from the Demonic side. 

Danny listened to the various names brought up. There were so many forces here in the Murim. Any one of them, or none of them could be the one that summoned him away from Earth

He decided that he will pay each and every one of them a visit, to try and find his purpose here

He pulled on his chains and they snapped easily, and he started freeing all the other men chained on the walls

Casually, he kicked onto the bars and the door flew off the hinges

The other prisoners were in shock, but they weren't going to waste their chance to escape and fled after him

Danny destroyed cell after cell, freeing every prisoner in the prison, heading towards the exit fearlessly

The armed guards came running, using fancy kung fu moves to attack him, as he was in the lead

But they were no better than the common guard in Rathia, and Danny easily overpowered and defeated them

One you are too powerful, technique didn't matter.

He questioned the  guards about his armor and weapons, but he was told that they were brought to the governor of the town as a "gift" 

"So that's the way it works here, huh?" he muttered as he smashed through the main prison door

He looked on as he faced down over 50 guards, all fully armed and looking threatening

Danny bent over and picked up a sword from a dead guard who died as the door he kicked slashed off half his head

"It's time to warm up anyway" Danny said, spinning the sword in his arm
