Myth
I started walking through the streets and drew my sword again. I was very nervous about what would happen to me from now on. I was very upset. Totally irritated. From now on I would be out in the open in an unknown and dangerous city.My only chance to be calm was to go back to the bar where I had come from an hour ago, but the hustle and bustle and the smell of booze totally annoyed me. I didn't want to go back there, but I had no choice.To add to my melancholy the moon was fully risen. For me it was a bad omen, as it had certain negative as well as positive effects on some people. The beings that specifically benefited greatly from it were the elves, for their magic became stronger. As far as he knew in humans it was almost the opposite. Diseases and parasites were a bit of a rampage for them. Which was quite repulsive in some cases. As I walked through those dark streets of mud and stone. I overheard a conversation that caught my attention, it was two sailors who were sober. -Th

Pirates
I returned before the ship started its journey. I went to a restaurant for lunch, since it was past my lunch hour and it was the only thing I could find in that place.I just hoped I wouldn't get seasick on that ship. From the street where I was I could see the ship I would be boarding. It was quite large. There were three sails in rows, plus they had a shark emblem.From where I was I could see the heroes grouped on the dock, all of them were in the water, several boats were organized to take us to the ship that apparently could not come here because the tide was very low and most likely it would be trapped on the rocks until the tide rose more.The wind was very strong, my hair was moving like spaghetti. It was kind of annoying. I just tried to fix it so it wouldn't blow in my face. Suddenly, the man with a patch and a patch who was in charge of the guild arrived and spoke.-Well... according to the captain's instructions, we will be on this ship for a few days touring an island.

Magic
Out of nowhere the sky became clear as if it were daytime. Not even the crab men knew what was happening.I was surprised to see that, it was like a spell, maybe there was an elf with great power, but that wouldn't help us here. I felt it was just an unimportant distraction. Our situation was not going to change from one moment to the next.One of the heroes stood in front of all of us to motivate us to fight and decided to fight without thinking twice. He knew we had no choice.I, like my companions, was also willing to fight, in spite of everyone. We could not throw ourselves into the sea as we would have more disadvantages there. From one moment to the next I started to feel much stronger. It was very strange for me. Because of the events that happened a few seconds ago. I came to the conclusion that maybe it was the spell that was cast on the island. I decided to take my sword and went towards one of the crab men. I tried to wound him with my sword, but one of them dodged me. How

Tempest
In spite of that we all decided to fight and not just wait for the elf to seal the portal quickly.Like the previous time I was able to quickly cut down every creature that came my way. I left several wounded, but they were still very fast, and they could hurt us. So I tried to be careful.In an oversight, when I was trying to dodge the attack of a monster with a kind of fin, another monster pierced me with its form in the back very close to my arm. It almost tore it off with a single attack. I didn't even feel at what moment it had been, for me everything happened very fast and I wasn't able to move in time. I fell to the ground from one moment to the next. I didn't understand what had happened to me, but I tried to get up. However, I couldn't. I was left with no response to a situation like this.Luckily one of my companions managed to react in time and finished with that creature in a matter of seconds, but he did not remain silent and spoke to me.-Hey you, do you think this is a

Soldiers
We were all still on the boat, a little cold, tired from the trip and from everything that had happened. The people who were captured were tied to the sails of the boat and none of them could speak, because they had a cloth that did not allow them to speak. I was a little worried that the version they had not given was true, but I did not witness what had happened. I just kept silent and looked at them. They were all the crew and five heroes. I didn't know if they were innocent or not, that would be determined by the authorities who would take them to the dock.I tried to ignore them and just stayed in the bow contemplating the panoramic landscape of the sea. At that point we were close to the dock. I felt much calmer, I would finally rest and sleep well, without so much uncertainty. The wind was finally on our side and helped us to move much faster at sea, although it was a little hot at this time of day. Around us, dozens of boats of all sizes passed by, as if nothing had happened

Bandits
I was feeling a little melancholy as I took my things and left. I had already spoken to the receptionist and explained that I would be leaving soon. So I didn't have to explain anything to her. As I walked out into the street, I felt that suffocating heat that was starting to set in early in the morning. I decided to walk faster to get to the outskirts of the city of mud and stone.The wound I had on my shoulder no longer hurt. It had healed completely and the scar was no longer noticeable. I only hoped that I would not suffer a similar wound again, it was very annoying. As I walked I saw that other adventurers were also leaving this city, but as we were all somewhat distant no one spoke. We only participated in the missions in silence, perhaps because of the rivalry to stand out more. Unlike all of them, I had no armor, and that was one of my weaknesses. From now on I had to look for a suitable one so that I could be calmer and not receive so many wounds in my body.While I was thin

Missions
The floats started off at high speed, none of them wanted to be involved in what had happened. Apparently they knew who were the people who were doing this and did not want to talk out of fear. I just wanted to get out of this place as fast as possible and avoid this problem that no one seemed to want to solve. I thought Krabbe was dangerous, but the surrounding villages were worse, as if there was no law and order. Everyone was silent about what was happening.As I thought about what was happening. I felt very strange as if the horses were very scared, because of the attitude of the coachmen. I got a little scared, but as we moved forward little by little everyone calmed down. It was for the best because this could end badly if the carriages collided. Everything was left in the hands of the coachmen's control.[...]I got out of that oppressive heat two days later, so I took another coach because the man was not going to take me to my destination and he looked very scared because of

Difficulty
Because of Alfred's attitude, we had to leave the place so that no one would hear us. He was very angry with me and I could not explain anything well. We went up to the second floor of the guild on a kind of balcony where there were many war decorations, although they seemed to be trophies.There was a wooden table where the three of us sat.-So what are you going to do from now on?-I'm just going to do another mission.-You've got a lot of nerve.-Alfred, please control yourself. You're just an adventurer. Now that the guild of another city gave you a position. You think you're the defender of justice?-Yes, at least they gave me a position, unlike you who don't help me at all.The brothers began to fight as if nothing, they didn't care about my presence.-It's all right. Alfred if you are so worried about what Gabriel does, then go to him....ah...but, he changed his name, you can't call him that. I think it's Isaac, if that suits him.I hadn't even given myself a new name because o

Hermit
After a while I was already changed, I quickly left the place. I started to walk around the shopping area, trying to buy clothes and ask about what was going on in this place. I saw the right person to start a conversation. There was a man with a cart selling fruit. He was someone of age, with quite a bit of short gray hair, black eyes, somewhat tall, and wearing a gray robe. I approached him.-Hello, how much are the apples worth?-Two for three coins," he answered.-Give me four.He put them in a cloth bag and handed them to me. I gave him several six coins. There I began to talk to him about what was going on in this place.-Are there people who hate kings?-Yes, their laws have brought nothing but trouble. They take men away to fight their wars. No one can do anything against what they order, I was saved by my age and because I was already in their ranks and lost a foot. I feel sorry for what they did to a country. They finished them all off without mercy. I tried to stay calm w

Castle
The next day, just as I had predicted the night before, it snowed all night long. I looked at the city from my window and I could see a white blanket covering all the houses and buildings in the city. It was not sunny like the day before. Everything looked very dark, and a strong storm was approaching. So I decided to go out, I didn't want to wear that armor but I didn't want to be asked my level all the time, because thanks to it everyone identified me as a hero or an adventurer. I left my room and also took my sword, as things were at that moment, the best thing to do was to prepare myself for everything. Creatures could come out from everywhere and attack me.[...]When I left the lodging I noticed that in spite of the cold day. The people of this place went out to work and do their chores as if nothing happened. Everyone was very calm as if nothing had happened and soon after I knew why. The army of this country had arrived via many men in that place, I noticed that no one tri
