A frustrated hero Return to the city
I went to the guild, it was a strange place. At that time people were slowly leaving their homes to do their work, and it was a little worrying, you could still feel the fear of what had happened days ago, with the attack that the castle suffered. It was still as burned. I did not know if they had to paint it or to build it again, but they had to be more careful next time with the people they let into that place.I saw many soldiers walking near me, maybe they started to follow me, since I was carrying a big wooden box, it was evident that I was very uncomfortable with that. One of them simply approached me and stopped me.-What are you carrying there?They were wearing those metallic armors, which didn't stand out at all, maybe they were angry at me for wearing something better. I decided to answer him in a proper way so as not to get into trouble.-This is just a guild mission.-Guild mission?-It's strange, no, the best thing to do is to show us what you have there.At their insis
A frustrated hero Ohis
My return to Altamira was quite a journey. I had to go through many cities and face different climates and it took me more than a week because I had gone to a city that was too far south.I only stayed in lodgings a few times, and others in the middle of the night. The other carriages gradually took their own course until the carriage I was in was left alone.The road was difficult, the horses were already somewhat battered by the whole journey, despite resting a few days in lodgings in different small towns.In Altamira everything had changed, the snow had completely evaporated. The streets looked normal as if it had never been winter. People changed their clothes and began to dress more comfortably. It was no longer necessary to wear coats and hats.I didn't stare at the place, I preferred to go to the guild and ask about my current state, but I noticed that there were many changes in this place. This was already a bar, there were many people drinking at that hour with wooden glass
A frustrated hero Information
I spent several days asking about what had happened. I was not convinced by what I had heard from the guild receptionist and the manager of one of the lodgings, but like them, most people also told me the same thing. Most people also told me the same thing. I was quite annoyed and decided to go to Ohis two days earlier to receive the information. I was a bit anxious about what would happen in that city. I just tried to calm down a bit, as I was a bit disoriented. The guild leader was the person who gave me recommendations and his point of view of what I was doing. Without him I knew nothing. So I concluded to go to the guild before I left and ask for Alfred. Maybe he was on a mission or in the country that took him in. It was the most sensible thing I could think of.While I was thinking I tried to arrange my room. I had bought other objects that will help me to be better in the fight. There were potions to avoid feeling so much pain with a wound and some hand bandages. I couldn't t
A frustrated hero Sug
The trip to Ohis was quite fast, the city was at the east of the continent, but it was something I was really surprised when I arrived there. It was a place full of golden statues and stones. There were some temples. There were no walls like in the other big cities to protect themselves from invaders.From the place where the chariot dropped me off I could see it. I was a little embarrassed to go there. Everything looked so tidy and so clean that I felt out of place. However, I had to walk there because the carriage that took me there left me far away. Since this was not its destination. At least it left me close by and didn't take so long to get there. Unfortunately this was the descent of a hill. So I had to descend as if it was nothing. It was very difficult as this was a steep mountain and it was too hard to go down. I tried to walk as fast as possible, but the terrain was totally full of rocks and sand.Going down was really difficult, and on top of that the weather was very hot
A frustrated hero Eccentric
After listening to that man I wanted to leave that place, they were all quite affected. There was a lot of work for tomorrow's event and the war between two neighboring countries ended up complicating everything.I decided to leave the place and headed for the exit, but I saw a familiar person. When I saw him I knew at once who he was. The same man had a scar on his face, his hair was half-long and he had a black beard. His gaze was somewhat cold and sinister, his face was elongated. He was missing a finger on his left arm. He came with his same group of friends. I remembered them all, they even had new members. Since I was wearing the armor, they had no idea who I was, so I just walked by them like it was nothing, but deep down I wanted to fight them all. However, with the current situation and with my level, there wasn't much I could do against those people, so I didn't even look at them. I just walked out of the place like it was nothing, but the people working there were a bit
A frustrated hero Sawi
Out of curiosity I opened the door and saw several people coming out of their rooms, some running, others walking normally. It caught my attention a bit, so I stopped looking at the people and went to get ready. I remembered the event I was supposed to go to.I put on my shoulder and knee pads, just to make a good impression, even though they were very uncomfortable.I grabbed the armor from the floor and slowly put it on. From there I began to see the city and how each one of the people moved and the commerce developed.I only hoped that the external war would not harm the day, nor hurt my aspirations. [...]I left the room already dressed like a hero, but I still felt somewhat tired. However, I could not go back, I had to report to Sug Temple. When I finally returned to the reality of my surroundings, I was outside the lodge and walking aimlessly. I tried to remember the path I took to come here, but there was a lot of movement in the streets, so I slowly arrived at the temple wit
A frustrated hero Conflict
I left the temple Sug calm, but I looked everywhere. That guy Sawi, he was crazy, he knew he had no way to be a hero because of the competition he had around him and he thought it was better to chase them all away.I would not run away from him, I wanted to test my strength, but I was somewhat weakened by my sword. I had to exercise to improve my performance and withstand the power my weapon had. I didn't want to get more black spots on my body. I started to walk through the stone and somewhat paved streets of that city, very alert that something might happen to me. There were still many people walking at that hour. The day was very busy and anything could happen. It seemed that everyone had forgotten that the city was close to two countries that were at war and people were out on the street as if nothing had happened. I started to look at the mountain where you get to this place. I could see nothing out of the ordinary. Any movement would be quickly detected by the guards on the ou
A frustrated hero Mountains
The soldier stopped questioning me and continued to search the rest of the people in the place. Although I doubted they could find anyone suspicious. Even that Sawi and his companions were the culprits. They were very troublesome and wanted to do whatever they wanted because their country was doing harm in different places. Besides, I had already experienced something similar with those men and I had to get blood on my hands.I saw how little by little people were able to enter the temple after the corpse was removed. As if nothing had happened, only some people were in charge of cleaning the area with some rags and water. I tried to enter there, out of curiosity and to ask about the heroes. As I had arrived late the day before, I didn't know what else they had talked about. I was a bit lost and did not know what to do from now on.The inside of the temple was normal. The only thing that had blood on it was the area where the person who was killed was. The rest of the place was in pe

End
The next day the few who still had the courage and strength to fight headed for Schlange. The number of people who died against one of the last two wizards was almost a thousand. It was too many, but there was nothing to be done. We had to continue the mission to save the world. We could not let that person dominate us.I was the first to leave, as my wounds were serious and had to be treated by more mages. For those who were there were too exhausted. They exceeded their limits with the magic they did. I never thought we would go to these extremes, but the mission against Schlange had to continue, many lives were at risk.I just stared at the roof of the chariot all day. Zen traveled with me and helped me move at times, as I did not even lift my sword. I was back to being injured again, but it was different. Thanks to the elf that passed away none of those strange things that wizards did could affect me like before. The only thing that worried me and I wanted to know was at what momen

Agony
In the evening hours the city of Ohis became practically a graveyard. The dead were increasing by the hour, the elves did not know what to do. So they chose to make another barrier to avoid a surprise attack.Nobody knew what to do, we were facing an effective and well planned attack. Without the cure for the poison that the Schlange soldiers' weapons had, we were too fragile. Even I could die if one of them cut me with his weapon. As a precaution the bodies of these people were all buried in one mass grave. It was the most appropriate thing to do. The elves took care of that.The rest of us had to help treat the wounded and bury them. No one was prepared for something like that. Many already wanted to leave, they were afraid of dying, but it was stupid. No one wanted to stay, but for now no one could get in or out. We were locked in until the elves made the decision to open the barrier. Maybe in a day or two. The bars were open for people who wanted to get drunk. I didn't want to go

First battle
The days after being the elves' experiment passed. My muscle mass increased considerably with the passage of time, the magic worked miracles. I already looked like a hero, and my chest armor was a bit tight. However, little by little I adapted to my new life as a hero. Unfortunately the time had passed and I had to leave the village. And it was time to meet with the rest of the heroes, and I did not know what had happened in the rest of the world, but it seemed that everything was still the same, since no one sent any message of what was happening.I had removed the annoying beard and the color of my hair changed to brown. For me it was something extreme and too strange.On my journey back to Ohis, I would be accompanied by Zen and two elves from the village. They too wanted to participate in the war, as they had fallen victim to the corruption of their community by being swayed by the power offered to them.There were two carriages heading there, so we would be comfortable and woul

Village
I went back to the village and looked for the old man, I wanted to know what I should do from now on. He had cast that strange spell on me for a reason. However, the place looked quite strange, it was as if something serious had happened. Many people gathered around. I went to the place where the people had gathered. I ran out and was completely surprised by what I saw. The oldest elf was dead, as if she had been killed by the ones who had threatened her on the way out. I had time to catch them. I was on my way to my little house where my things were, but then all of a sudden. One of the younger inhabitants here decided to speak to me.-He was going to tell you something, but he didn't reach, I managed to hear part of what he was going to tell you. You just need to go on as if nothing happened, you will no longer have those dizziness from being with us, you will be a little freer and you will no longer feel sick.What that young man was saying was nothing new, but I was surprised to

Traitors
I got carried away by the taste of the wine and forgot why I was here. Alfred sat down next to me and spoke to me.-I see, so you got carried away by the taste of this drink. You are quite strange, I thought you didn't like liquor.-This drink was addictive, sorry.-Don't worry, just at least you're not drunk, so you can walk and we can talk to the other elves. They'll be up from the table any minute and we can talk to them.I was surprised to talk to him that way, it was so different and weird for him to talk to me that way. As if he was sure that everyone would do what he told them to do. I don't know what position he had in the guild now, but he seemed like an important person. I stopped drinking wine and just waited for the group of elves in the corner to get up from their chairs and talk to them. They were taking too long. It was quite stressful for me. It was getting close to dusk. I would be late for my lodging today and since I was wearing my armor, I would be in trouble with

Destruction of the temple sug
After four days we arrived to Ohis, it was quite difficult for all of us, the weather helped us a lot, the cold became intense and our bodies could not stand it. We simply made a tour through different places without sense, it seemed that we were lost, but luckily we got out of that place and reached our destination which was the city of Ohis, unfortunately. When we arrived there, we noticed that there were hundreds of people from other countries, it was a chaos because of the uncertainty that was lived in that place.I tried to go to a lodge to go in the evening hours.I saw many people sleeping in the street, maybe they came from the invaded countries and were looking for refuge in this country.I went walking through different places until I reached the commercial area where they sold various objects, I was surprised to see so many people in that place. The area was full of hundreds of people begging. Things were getting out of control and the guild was in serious trouble. This cit

Night cold
I left the capital hours later, thanks to some money that Alfred's fiancée gave me, because of my carelessness I did not dare to ask her name, it was something quite unusual and stupid on my part, but there was nothing I could do about it. When I started to think and realized my mistake at that moment I was already leaving the country, I was going through another road to get to the city of Ohis. I went through another northern country. Because going through Schlange was going to war, since they had invaded more countries in the south and made it more difficult to pass through that place. I felt a little bad doing that. The route through the area was difficult, even though it wasn't a mountain. The site was quite a problem. I had to pass through a wet and foul smelling swamp, but it was the only road that could take us to our destination.I was in a caravan that had about four carriages carrying some important people who were also going there. The people in the carriage with me were

Curation
I sat listening to each of the stories of the heroes, I was only interested in the one that had named me, but the dwarf did not talk about me again. They only continued telling stories of other heroes. Until all of a sudden everyone started to leave. They got tired of drinking and it was already very late. I, like everyone else, tried to leave, but I had to do it at my own pace, I waited for most of them to leave the place, but one elf stayed and saw me. As it was only one person I didn't care much and tried to get up and leaned on the table. However she spoke to me.-So you are the hero of the stories? It's amazing how you ended up.I was a little surprised to see that the woman had recognized me. I didn't even know who she was.-I see you don't know who I am. Well I was in the battle against Schlange, but as we were hundreds of heroes it's obvious that it's impossible for you to remember. Anyway, for now I can help you take care of your wounds. The war hasn't started yet, most coun

Demotivation
It was very difficult for me to get to the meeting, I had to walk at a rather slow and tedious pace, while everyone looked at me as a strange or sick person. I just kept walking until I saw where the heroes had gone. I saw their horses in the castle and I went there, I wanted to know what the country was going to do in this war and what had happened during the time I was sick.Unfortunately there were almost ten soldiers at the entrance to the castle. They had reinforced the security so that something like what happened a week ago would not happen again. I tried to get in and talked to those men.-I am a hero, I need to get in.-You a hero? You look like a robbery. You're too strange.The taunts of those men didn't matter much to me, but it was quite sad. I was no longer important and was almost a nuisance. I could only duck my head a little and tried to leave, but one of the guards spoke. -You look like someone, I know you are the hero who was poisoned here days ago. We took you som
