A frustrated hero Castle
The next day, just as I had predicted the night before, it snowed all night long. I looked at the city from my window and I could see a white blanket covering all the houses and buildings in the city. It was not sunny like the day before. Everything looked very dark, and a strong storm was approaching. So I decided to go out, I didn't want to wear that armor but I didn't want to be asked my level all the time, because thanks to it everyone identified me as a hero or an adventurer. I left my room and also took my sword, as things were at that moment, the best thing to do was to prepare myself for everything. Creatures could come out from everywhere and attack me.[...]When I left the lodging I noticed that in spite of the cold day. The people of this place went out to work and do their chores as if nothing happened. Everyone was very calm as if nothing had happened and soon after I knew why. The army of this country had arrived via many men in that place, I noticed that no one tri
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
