It was like a nightmare, a part of the harvest was burning. Many adventurers were running aimlessly. I went to the place where I was staying to get my sword and some armor that the old man had brought. I ran into several people who, like me, did not know what to do in the middle of the fire.

I did not see the old man anywhere and I began to despair a little. There was a lot of chaos and the smell of smoke reached here. It was imminent that in a matter of minutes the flames would reach this place, the more I walked, the more scared I became. I didn't know if I would face one of the dragons, nor how strong the little ones were.

Luckily I drew my sword quickly and put on full armor. I headed for the grasslands where the battle was taking place. There were many heroes around that place and the elves began to use their magic to extinguish the flames that were consuming everything.

One of them out of nowhere cast an ice spell and luckily the fire could be controlled, but we were not

  • A frustrated hero   Tough battle

    I was running with several adventurers in the middle of a battle against dragons. I felt happy because I felt it was my moment, but it was not. My happy face was gone in a moment. There were nine of us running with a lot of confidence that we could do something. In front of us the adventurers we were going to help, died in front of our eyes. Almost simultaneously five of the eight dragons that were around spat fire at them from different places. We could do nothing for them. It was too late.I was a bit shocked and stopped in my tracks. The other adventurers were still running as if nothing. As if something else inspired them to endanger their lives, even though there was no hope that we could win.The smell of burning grass became too intense and annoying.I stood and watched as the eight adventurers reached those beasts and started fighting like it was nothing. They were very sure of what they were doing, and obviously they were right, those swords were not normal. From one moment

    The next morning I went to talk to the little hobbit to see if they would give me a reward or something like that, plus I had to fix my face a bit and change my appearance so that no one would recognize me again. As I walked in the direction of that place. I noticed that the beard I had was growing a little, but I needed it more. In a week I would be quite noticeable, but I had to change enough to go unnoticed, luckily for me the wizard's spell no longer worked on me. Now I was no longer a danger to anyone, and I was free to go on any mission.I saw many people arriving from different cities, by the way they were dressed, perhaps to take the remains of their relatives or to say goodbye to them. I was carrying the handkerchief in my hand. So everyone noticed it, such complexion they all knew what it was for, but many looked at me because of that. In the middle of the people I decided to keep it in one of my pockets and avoid being robbed or asked about it.[...]I arrived at the resta

    Shortly after that I got out of there, without the help of the helmet. I had to pay about fifty coins that I had received on the mission for the change in the face. It was worth a try and live an adventurer's life without so much trouble.I headed to the guild to ask about the old man. Maybe there they knew where his body was, I had to carry the helmet in my hand and see if anyone recognized me, besides I did not want to wear it I felt it was in the way a little, but as I walked I saw a lot of movement of military and soldiers of this city. They talk to the merchants and fruit sellers. Most of them were humans, only a few dwarves were selling accessories. The last time I was here something like this had not happened, despite that I walked to my destination and preferred not to waste time on other things.The soldiers now wore their metallic armor with a red cloak, which also had their emblem of some swords. They were all imposing order with their weapons.[...]I arrived in a few minu

    The next day I woke up because of the noise coming from outside, despite sleeping, I still felt very tired, but I had to see what was going on in this city, I could hear arguments and clashes of weapons.I looked out of the window. I saw soldiers and guards arguing loudly, it appeared that something had happened that upset both sides. It looked like they were going to fight each other.The people I was present could not intervene, I preferred to watch how this problem was resolved, but everything pointed to the fact that it would not end easily.Maybe Alejandro, or someone in a higher position could intervene, but they were not around. The situation became much more complicated and they began to fight, each one took out their swords, to show that this was serious.This frightened the civilians who witnessed everything that was happening. Many hid to avoid getting hurt in the fight that was about to begin.Out of nowhere a person in yellow and silver armor appeared. He looked like a h

    I was in one of the pools in the hot springs relaxing, but from one moment to the next the place started to get cold, the steam stopped coming out. It seemed that the water from the upper part where the river came from was very cold. Not even the objects used in the place could cope with the temperature. I felt a little sick and got out of there. At least I had bathed quickly in the short time I was in that place.I put on the clothes I had, even though they were still a little dusty. From being in that dungeon.I left that room and walked down the lonely hallway. Until I got to the reception, but I didn't see anyone. So I left the place, to my surprise the woman who was in charge of the place was outside and looking at the sky. I went to her side and tried to observe what she was seeing. The clouds coming this way were quite dark, so a storm was approaching.-Hey, are you going to stay here," I asked her.-No, I'll close this place and go to the city. The river could rise a lot and t

    As the guild leader had told me, I went on a float to a coastal town, it was a place where trade was done and there were some pirates who raided ships. I found it interesting and it was the best for me. It was quite an interesting experience, besides I could not stand the cold and much less to be locked up, but unfortunately I had to change carriage on each trip. Since the place where I was going was too far away. It took me a week to get there, and I could not travel alone, I had to go with more people, since the money would not be enough. I had to pay for my lodging to rest for several nights.When I finally arrived to that city an impressive sun hit me in the face. It was not normal, maybe it was much stronger than most cities or it was much lower than the sea level. It just made me want to go for a swim, and take some of the heat off, but I didn't come here for a walk. I couldn't get distracted. I had to finish the mission that awaited me quickly. Then I had to get back to Altam

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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
