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
A frustrated hero Escort
After a week I left early for the guild. I was going for a rank A mission, I wanted to make a good impression so that they would give me the option to aspire to be a hero, although I didn't know how the organization's protocols were for that.I didn't really know which mission was the one that would help me earn a spot.I went to see the mission board and among the few there were. There was one on a strange continent. In which they left the most dangerous people. I was a little scared to go there, but there could be recognition, plus the pay was quite a lot. Almost five thousand coins, basically about eight missions. I just had to escort some soldiers to drop off a dangerous assassin.It left me pretty dismayed. I was about to look for another one, but the guild leader spoke to me.-Doubting?-Uh...yeah, I don't think I could do something like that.-You could win the friendship of a kingdom, and you would have some power.-I know, but... Why does hardly anyone ask for this mission?-
A frustrated hero Magic
We arrived at the iron gate of the place. The general knocked several times until finally someone opened the door. It was a tall, handsome man with a dagger in his hand. The two of them began to talk about what had happened. Apparently they came to a conclusion, but we had to wait outside and in that heat that we could not stand I drew my sword because those armed people would probably come out.The soldiers with us were not prepared for this, most of them had no weapons and were just guarding the ship. The general did have a dagger and a pistol. It wasn't much help, but they would be of some use at a time like this.From where we were they could see the ship about 4 kilometers from here and I saw another one arrive, I didn't know if it was true or an illusion because of the heat it was getting at that hour.[...]After a while the six adventurers who betrayed the crew came out. They apparently had fought there. When they saw us they started to fight us too. The general was the first
A frustrated hero Greenhouse
The way back to my lodging was somewhat complicated. I went through half the city and I had to try to recognize several areas where I had passed and slowly I arrived at the place I was looking for. I went there quite quietly, I did not want anyone to notice that I was lost, nor that I was not from this city. I just entered the lodging as if nothing had happened, although I knew that when this kind of incidents happened it was normal that they started to search the cities looking for spies. And since this was a place that usually had foreign people, it was obvious that they would come here at any moment. I just went to my room and put on my dungarees to look more like an adventurer or hero so that no one would start suspecting me. I had enough problems and I just wanted to rest a little bit from that exhausting trip.When I entered my room I lay down on the bed almost a few minutes later, my eyes began to close and I began to sleep ignoring what happened for now. I only thought about
A frustrated hero Cell
I left the place very annoyed, I didn't want to do anything today, but I had already asked for a mission. I just hoped it wouldn't be so difficult and I wouldn't have to do so many things. One of them was to fight against dangerous people. As experienced as I was in combat. Some individuals had strange abilities and with the attack on that castle anything could happen to me.I headed to my lodging for my armor, I was not going to let anyone hurt me, for a mission like this and while I was heading to that place. I noticed that the soldiers were detaining dozens of common people. This situation would completely hinder the whole mission. I had to be careful with all those people.Every minute the sky was getting darker and darker, luckily there were not many clouds and the weather would be quite pleasant.[...]I went back to my lodging to get my armor. This time I could only wear my breastplate, my helmet and my sword. It was not a very difficult mission, but I had to be protected from
A frustrated hero Picks
I was prepared for anything, the guild had sent an announcement of this mission so that someone would guard the place. Although they did not delay a bit and downplayed the importance of what happened. If they had been more attentive this would have been avoided.I decided to unsheathe my sword to fight, since I had no other alternative and waited for the creature to come out or the dangerous human to come out, the cells were apparently being destroyed and the prisoners were coming out of that place like ants, some were very wounded and confused, as if a vest had attacked them, besides there was a foul smell coming from the dungeon. The soldiers of the kingdom came to help and looked somewhat confused. They didn't know what was going on, but minutes later we could see what it was.Apparently it was some kind of hybrid between humans and a monster. Perhaps he had experimented on his own body for fear of being executed. No one tried to attack it, everyone was bewildered by such a creat

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
