Winner Takes All

An avalanche happened.

It was atrocious.

The vast amount of snow poured down, completely covered the land in Skyline Mountain.

However, within a short time, as the avalanche stopped, the mountain forest once again became silent and one could only hear the sound of wind and snow blowing there.

However, the avalanche had caused a huge difference. Before the avalanche happened, the animals were wandering and roaming freely in the silence.

After the avalanche happened, it was completely silent as the animals at the place vanished and the place became deserted.

All that remained there was the long thousand-meter road that was covered in snow after the avalanche.

Tonight, it was still snowy and windy in Skyline Mountain.

No one came to Skyline Mountain again.

The people who lived near Skyline Mountain wouldn't go near the place at night.

Moreover, for the foreign tribes natives who lived near Skyline Mountain, they wouldn't be surprised to witness an avalanche occurred in the majestic Skyline Mountain as it was a common occurrence.

As the sky turned bright in the morning, the sun rose and shone its light on the snowy ground.

On the ground where the avalanche happened last night, it was flat and glistening in the sunlight. There were bumps in some spots and the branches of large trees could be seen.

It was deserted.

The wind and snow had also abated.

The temperature had risen slightly.

It was extremely silent at the place.

After the avalanche, everything had vanished.

Yet.

A "bang" sound rang out.

In a place buried in snow, a large blood-stained hand suddenly came out from the snow and a man slowly moved its stiffened fingers under the rising sun.

The scene was eerie and ghostly.

As the blood-stained hand came out from the snow, the snow was pushed up from the ground.

A human came out from the snow with great difficulty.

It was Jack.

But at this moment, Jack's face was pale and injured. He was covered with snow and cold ice. His right hand was pressed hard on the position where his heart stayed. His hand pressed on the horse flesh which had been frozen long ago. However, at this moment, because of the freezing, Jack's hand and the horse flesh were stuck to each other, and the horse flesh was stuck to the position where his heart stayed.

Splash...

Shaking the snow off his body, Jack staggered backwards and fell with a "wham" sound as he sat down in the snow.

Being buried overnight had made him feel desperate.

In the snowy mountain which was freezing cold, the most terrifying thing was to fall asleep or become unconscious in the freezing snow.

For many people, they might never wake up again.

Jack was buried in snow overnight and managed to survive. Perhaps he could survive by relying on the residual warmth of the horse flesh to warm his heart for a while, or perhaps ... a miracle happened! Jack fell on the snowy ground and looked stunned. There were snow and ice crystals on the corners of his eyes and eyelashes.

His purplish lips slowly opened, saying, "Who am I..."

As he said the words, he also raised his left hand and hammered his head hard a few times.

But at this moment, his mind was blank, and he couldn't remember anything.

As he tried to recall the past, his face instantly displayed a painful look as if countless sharp needles were stirring in his mind. "Ah!"

With a wail of pain, Jack's face suddenly turned hideous.

His eyes which looked blank and were bloodshot finally became clear at the moment.

"Who am I?"

"Who the hell am I?"

He shook his head hard, with a grim look. However, his eyes which could see what was in front of him displayed a puzzled look.

No matter how hard he tried to recall the past, his mind was blank.

The pain in his head turned even more excruciating and he could feel his whole body was in pain.

In the end, Jack collapsed directly onto the snow. He was shaking and twitching in pain, rolling on the ground multiple times.

After nearly five minutes, Jack gradually became calm. The twitching pain in his head gradually disappeared.

He sat up again and looked blankly at the icy and snowy ground around him.

He knew that he shouldn't stay at the place for too long if he wanted to survive.

He needed some food and something that could make him feel warm.

He was so exhausted now and if he didn't find a chance to live while he still had a little energy left, he would still die in this snowy ground.

Jack clenched his teeth and tried his best to stand up although he was already very exhausted.

He could not determine the direction he should go.

But he could determine the direction where he could enter the mountain and leave the mountain.

However, just as he was walking past the side of the snow pit where he was buried before, he was tripped by something under his feet.

Wham!

He fell on the ground and he felt extreme pain in his body, causing him to scream in agony.

Looking back, he could see a human hand in the snow which was faintly visible. His pupils constricted for a moment and he hurriedly swept some of the snow away.

When he saw the round eyes on the face of Shawn, Jack looked dumbfounded and said, "Who are you...?"

When he no longer felt so fearful of the corpse, he looked at the corpse of Shawn with a surprisingly calm manner.

He didn't dare to recall the past. When he tried to recall the past, he felt the excruciating pain in his mind again.

He had lost his memory!

But he still had a clear mind despite losing his memory.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he could easily tell that he had fought with the man in front of him before they were buried in the snowy ground.

After taking a deep breath, Jack lifted his left hand and quickly searched something around Shawn.

Since they had a battle before this, then he thought that he could find a weapon around him.

In the mountain forest, having a weapon would also give him a better chance of surviving!

Soon, Jack was able to find a battle sword.

The blood on the top of the sword was thickened by the ice layer, just like a blood-coloured battle sword.

Because of the thick layer of ice, the weight of the knife became much heavier.

If it were normal, he could lift such a weight easily.

However, at this moment, he was so exhausted and he felt that his body was completely emptied. With the warmth under the sun, he could not lift the sword even if he had found it. He could only drag the sword and used a lot of strength to walk in the direction to leave the mountain.

The wind and snow howled.

He could feel a bit warm under the sun in the early morning.

He also felt much comfortable.

His eyes kept closing as if his eyelids were filled with lead. He felt that his feet were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he had to use all his strength to take a step forward.

"Survive... I have to survive..."

His instinct to survive constantly motivated him to move forward.

After losing his memory, he could only rely on his instinct to survive to keep alive.

A trail of footprints on the deep snow was left behind him.

There was an endless snowfield in front of him.

He knew clearly that if he went forward and walked out of the mountain forest, he would still have a chance to survive.

If he sat on his hands, he would definitely die.

He might freeze to death or starve to death.

He might also be preyed on by the beasts that suddenly appeared nearby!

However, he heard a growling sound this time.

As he was struggling to move forward, he heard a wolf growling suddenly from not far away.

His body trembled and his bloodshot eyes suddenly turned gloomy. His pupils constricted to the extreme.

He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

He saw a wolf perching on top of the rock not far away. It was covered in snow and looked miserable. It was obvious that the wolf was injured.

Jack thought that the wolf had also survived after experiencing the avalanche last night, just like him.

But when Jack's eyes and the eyes of the wolf met, he could feel that the wolf wanted to kill him and eat him.

When their gazes met, he could see all the teeth of the wolf. The saliva even flowed down from the wolf's teeth...
