The jungle was restored a little compared to a few minutes ago, tell me everyone was on fire and it was impossible to walk.

Alfred woke up the hermit with magic, as it seems he was one of the ones who ate the most of those breads. He was lying next to a tree completely asleep. When he opened his eyes he was a bit startled. He looked at the ground and tried to get up, and spoke to us.

-What happened?

-The jungle was burning, and Alfred woke you up.

He grabbed his chest and got up.

-I see.

He started to look around the area and noticed that there were still places that were burned to ashes, but they were far away from us. m

-Let's keep walking.

-Are you all right?

-Yes, I just got a little scared. I woke up suddenly, and that's bad for me.

Like us he still felt bad about eating that strange bread, but he wanted to keep going.

-Well, let's go," said the elf.

The three of us started walking through that somewhat dry jungle. We did not see any injured people in that place, luckily none of

It was a humiliation that we were living, no one understood how this was happening. The elves that were there made strange circles that began to cover the monsters and froze them.Some proceeded to kill them slowly until none of them were left standing, they all remained as simple structures on the floor, we did not understand how this worked, but it was very difficult. It was getting more and more complicated to fight these creatures.We saw how more of these monsters appeared and the elves looked at each other. They knew that they could not do the same magic so many times, as they could not exhaust t

    Alfred made me a barrier guy to support the one they had made to keep the monsters out.I was a little better, I could breathe normally. I got up from the floor, tried to walk, I saw that everyone was looking at me strangely, maybe because of what had happened. I tried to ignore them and just went to one of the campfires to warm up, however what happened had caught everyone's attention and no one could be quiet watching me as if nothing had happened.The hero who stood out the most did not hesitate to confront me.-Are you a monster or a human?-A human, what happens is that some months ago I had a mission where one of those responsible for everything that happened was one of the wizards, and since then I have this problem.-Ok, I see, but that makes you a suspicious person. The best thing you can do is to do nothing and we'll all keep an eye on you.I didn't really like hearing that, but as a kind of threat and it wasn't a good one at all.I ignored what happened, luckily no one else

  • A frustrated hero   Confrontation

    The words of that elf created distrust among the hundreds of adventurers, no one could believe what had happened. And being one of the strangest people in that place, they were a little scared. I didn't want to raise suspicions and I didn't want to be accused of something I hadn't done, this situation brought back memories of a mission I did on a ship.I tried to avoid getting serious and avoid at all costs that someone would notice that I was a little scared.Unfortunately, all the people who were gathered there were slowly dividing by country, so many felt more confident about their fellow countrymen.I was together with almost two hundred heroes from the country I was fighting for. Not everyone had come on this mission and the early leader was Alfred. There was no one else with the experience he had and no one complained about it either. The hermit met with a few people from his country, no more than fifty.It was a mystery what would happen at this point. I just thought not to be

    Without hesitation I walked away from the men. It was obvious that none of us got along. I was very serious, I just picked up my helmet from the ground to show that I was not afraid of any of them. However, they kept looking at me, at any moment there would be a fight between us.The most powerful hero of all of us crossed in the middle of the place where there was the most tension between all of us.-Calm down, the mission is not going to be a failure because of you. If you fight now you will all have to be taken to a dungeon in this country, although the best thing is for an elf to make a house for you to stay locked up for a few days. I think they would love to live that way for a few days.Alfred was not silent, he tried to avoid a confrontation or a confinement in such a place.-Don't worry, me and my people are going to leave things like this for now. As long as I finish the mission, this problem will be solved in the war.-Ah...ok.Sawi and his group just walked to the back whe

    The next day a feeling of discomfort invaded us all, what was happening was too worrying. For the security that country was showing, it was like fighting the war that they themselves had started. For now the only thing we could do was to complete the mission and then each one of us had to go to our country of origin to prepare for this.It was something quite worrying for all of us, every nation avoided at all costs to participate in wars because of the expenses and irreparable human losses they caused. At that moment I began to think about the former guild leader and the old man. Both of them were worried that something like this would happen and we were living in such a difficult situation.We did not take long to get organized, we were all ready to fight, anxious to return to our home country, to help in the war.The strongest hero of the group looked a little tired, I had to fight with many adventurers and heroes who had a certain level of power, although he defeated them and soon

  • A frustrated hero   Sound of wind

    I walked for a few hours and arrived in a city a little bigger than the one I was in a few days ago, I needed to get enough money to return to Altamira, like my other companions. Since the war continued and we would no longer be alone. Other countries would be with us because of the violent and unnecessary behavior towards heroes and adventurers. I just wanted to return as quickly as possible to that place, but I knew it would be difficult to return in two days, since the value of the trip could be more than a hundred coins and it was something I did not have. I had to walk through several streets and look for a place where they could give me a job, but I saw everything quite difficult. There were a lot of people everywhere doing different jobs, so I dared to search among hundreds of jobs who needed someone to work in any job.I only saw one man who had a kind of restaurant. There were a lot of people there and I dared to go into that place even tomorrow to ask.The man was a bearded

    The next morning I saw that hundreds of soldiers had arrived. I did not see the general who was leading them, perhaps they came alone to this place.I got up from the floor and put on my armor to show them that the city was being looked after by someone. However, those men were just patrolling the place, so they didn't care much about what happened here.I decided to walk while those people were leaving, they only made the situation here more difficult, since we were in terrible sanitary conditions, and with more people it would be worse since they needed to make camps and the space to rest was reduced.At first I didn't say anything, I just went to where the lodgings were before the Schlange people came here. All I saw was rubble and dust, as if they were trying to damage everything to scare people away. At that moment my employee arrived.-Maybe I left some of what I left there, but first you should look for people as strong or stronger than you to build a wall.-It is not necessar

    After three days we finally arrived to that city with some difficulty, I noticed that this place was much bigger than the other cities where I had been. There I knew why there was so much commotion because it could be attacked.The soldier left me at the entrance and started his trip back to Altamira with the rest of his companions.I felt a little good, I just had to find the guild and take any mission.I was not sure about walking around this city, for me everything was unknown and quite strange. There were buildings up to three stories high, made with the materials that were usually used, like stone, brick and others that were being tested to make more durable and modern buildings.The commercial areas were completely full. There were hundreds of people coming and going with food in their hands. Perhaps they had heard of the possible invasion of Schlange, but I didn't stop to look at the place much, I just looked for the guild, I thought I would see a big and flashy building like t

    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
