A frustrated hero New warriors
When I arrived at the dungeon, it looked like it had gotten bigger, and part of the camp had disappeared.Some people chose to stay away from there for fear that something would come out. I walked over there with my sword in my hand. It was likely that something was going to appear at any moment I had already seen something similar in the city of Krabbe, and I knew what would probably come out would be all and challenging for the people who were here.From where I was I could see what something white was moving in the dungeon, it was the size of a human and I could see those glowing red eyes. Everything was evident when it took the first step out of the place. I was very surprised when I saw it. It was a beast that walked on two legs. Something I had heard in myths, a snowman, who carried human weapons, perhaps he took them from the people who entered several days ago.The nearest adventurers went to fight with them, at first they were able to defeat several of these creatures with t
A frustrated hero Problem
The three of us met at a restaurant to talk about what had happened. I still didn't believe anything, Alfred didn't either, we were both too confused. That man who for us was a hermit was someone very strong and a bit crazy sometimes. His behavior left us a lot to think about. We tried to act as if nothing had happened, but we were all reminded of the reality we were living. However, he began to speak.-Well I introduce myself, I'm half dwarf, that's why I'm so strong and tough, although to most people I'm a human. His words at least made it clear to us why he was so strong, but it was very strange that he dressed that way. Alfred didn't keep quiet and asked him about it.-So why do you dress like that?-Well...I lost my family a long time ago and hid in a forest for a few years, but trouble followed me and I had to come back to be a hero. It never ends.-When was that?" Alfred asked.-Nine years ago that happened, and I was alone in a forest. Living away from everyone and sleeping
A frustrated hero Wounds
I left that area and the hermit went to another place. He wouldn't help me on what was going to be, he just gave me that dagger for me to decide what to do with it, when I saw that man face to face.I returned to the dungeon and just as the hermit had said, chaos was about to break out in the city. The heroes who fought all night were very tired. I could only see thousands of monster bodies on the ground. I saw a kind of barrier in the dungeon that contained the monsters trying to get out of there. Some of them were manticores.The elves guarding the entrance of the place. They were also tired of making barriers for those creatures to get out of there. I saw a group of armed adventurers. Maybe they wanted to go in there and explore the place together with the group of hero number 3. It was one of the alternatives they had to finish this mission, it was very risky, but I had no opinion. I just sat down on one of the tree trunks and brushed the snow off me.I waited for them to open t
A frustrated hero Uncertain
Everything seemed like a dream from which I could not get out. The streets were lonely, there were not even adventurers on the streets. Maybe they were all in the camp. There were only a few soldiers hiding. Maybe they were afraid that something would happen to them.I did not understand the fear of those men. They were soldiers with some experience and armed. As I walked I could see how the place had been left after such a busy day after the earthquake. There were some cracks in the different buildings. No one was leaving their homes for any reason. I didn't stop to look at the streets and quickly made my way to the camp. There were some people very attentive to everything that was happening in the dungeon, I preferred not to ask them about the tremor, it was clear that it had arisen here. There was no sign of anything coming from inside.There were a lot of torches in that place. They were trying to increase the visibility of the area despite the poor visibility they had in that pl
A frustrated hero Festival
I went to the camp to see what had happened and saw that the dungeon was totally sealed. The site was being removed. A group of soldiers were in charge of removing all the cloths and rags that were in the place.There were still elves in the place and they were looking at the sealed entrance. There was some kind of rare earth there to prevent the dungeon from being opened again. I didn't really understand that kind of rituals, so I didn't stop to ask.I just stared at the place, I was struck by how this mission had ended. I didn't even see how they had sealed this, but I felt happy to have participated and helped in something.I was still walking with some difficulty and I went to my lodging to finish resting and ask for my reward. I walked away from the area amidst the snow that suddenly began to fall. I saw that many houses and buildings had large cracks. Maybe some of them had to be rebuilt. Even the ground had cracks from the force of the dungeon. While I was thinking about what
A frustrated hero Food
I looked at where the arrows were coming from and noticed that they were coming from a rather old stone and brick building. There was an old lady with a bow. Her hair was long and white. I was not able to thank her, or even give her a sign. I felt somewhat humiliated. For the way those animals almost killed me. I just left that place walking with some bumps on my body.It was already getting dark. I decided to leave as quickly as possible, there was no one in that area. Everyone had hidden from that place after that. So I had to walk back in the dark, somewhat beaten. The light from the campfire helped me a little bit because I could see where I was walking. It was very difficult to take a few steps around that place with my somewhat sore body. So I had to walk slowly and watch out for anything that appeared along the way.[...]The lodging where I was staying was closed, so I knocked several times. Until they finally opened the door for me. I was a bit annoyed by that. It was very i
A frustrated hero Arrows
I saw how little by little the wolves made a coordinated attack on those men who were careless. No one dared to come out and help them. It was very dangerous, only a group of heroes could try to do something for them, but again I saw arrows falling from the sky. Maybe it was to scare those monsters away. From here I could see some arrow-throwing movements. Although they looked like some kind of threads.I knew it could be the old woman I saw this morning. I was struck by what I was observing. She seemed to be the guardian of this place, but the wolves despite seeing arrows did not desist from attacking those men.One of the drunks received a leg wound. One of the wolves knocked him to the ground, but luckily an arrow killed him immediately. It fell almost at the precise moment.Everything seemed to end when the first creature fell, but it was not so. From far away a creature stood out, bigger than all the others. Twice the size of the others. It was about the size of a house and I cou
A frustrated hero Store
Little by little more soldiers arrived and caught those two people. I just waited for them to help me. I felt very bad, and I couldn't get up. I left the shield on the ground. The guild leader came with the two men who had healed me a few hours ago. While they arrived I removed the arrows from my feet with the hand that was still good. It hurt me a lot to remove each one of the arrows. I got up from that place and tried to avoid bleeding so much.Both my feet were wounded and it was impossible to move.When the two men who had healed me arrived, they both looked tired.As if they had participated in the battle from the buildings.-Again you..." The older one said to me.-Yes, that's the life of an adventurer.-Okay, just stand still.He started to make those weird circles on the floor and little by little I felt my wounds heal completely.I got up from the floor and still felt the nagging pain. I looked at the two people who had handled those beasts. They tied their hands and feet

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
