To Walk The Mist Chapter 40

"Hey, I'm Ku Nam . " a boy walked over to Ed and said . Beside him was a girl . She glanced at Ed for only a moment and took in his attire . Ed was never one to wear expensive clothes, he just always made sure his clothes were clean and neat . He could tell this girl was looking down on him .

"This is autumn bloom . " the boy introduced the girl .

"Ed . "

"I can see you are like us, not from the demon lands . How about we team up and form our own group?" the boy smiled amiably .

"Sorry, I don't wish to be part of any group . " Ed said .

"I told you not to bother with him . What can he even contribute?" autumn bloom said haughtily . Ed did not mind her words, as long as they left him alone .

"It is better to stay as a group . That way, we can defend our resources . " the boy tried to convince Ed .

"I still wish to be alone . " Ed said and walked away .

"When he is in trouble, he will come running . " Autumn bloom sneered at his leaving back .

Ed wasted no time . He walked over to the slate and wrote his name . The registration sip he had been given before he arrived this word glowed . Ed stared at it as it edged unto his arm . He saw the writing that appeared a few seconds later .

The giants laughed inwardly at the newcomers .

"It's always like this every year . " one said to the other in a sound transmission .

"How many do you think will last?" the other said .

"After the coming monthly match, there will be twenty names on the slate again . "

"Who knows, there may be some hidden dragons in the mix this year . "

"As if . " the other snorted .

"The factions love those that don't join them, than those that do . They are more useful to them . " the other said .

"There will be some hidden dragons this time . Do you dare to bet?"

"Of course . After the first month battle, there will only be twenty names on the slate . "

"I bet that there will be additional names . " this words made the other sigh .

"You make this bet every year . "

Ed turned an entered through the gate . On the other side, was a bright dry world . He directly found him self in the middle of a town .

"Newcomer, come with me to your assigned cultivation cave . " a person walked up to Ed and said respectfully .

"How do you know I chose to be alone?" Ed frowned .

"No one that wishes to be part of a group walks alone . But, you should consider joining a group . That is the only way you will be safe here . " the person said .

"Lead the way . " Ed said and the person sighed . It was like this every year .
