A frustrated hero Descent
In two hours we had climbed the mountain and were at the top, now they had to keep us a few more hours and then descend and climb up another mountain. All this was a journey that I did not understand very well. Only the coachman remembered the way, he knew which route to take, amidst the undergrowth and rocks. If he died I might not be able to find my way back. As we advanced up the mountain I saw what looked like some kind of ancient cemetery. There were about thirty graves and one of them had a specific message. All is forgotten, under my point of view it referred to the deceased, but the further we advanced I saw a kind of fog, that was a bad omen. If there was no good visibility, it was complicated to transit here, maybe it would rain in this place in a few hours. That was probably what was going to happen here.We could camp in a few meters as the mountain had some kind of formations that looked like a roof. There we could ride out the storm. I didn't know what decision the coac
A frustrated hero Hail
I stayed at the bar waiting for it to get dark. Here people usually came here to drink for anything, I just stayed to listen to drunks who had been drinking for days. The strange thing is that in all the places where there were ports, there was only one bar. For me it was very strange, maybe they avoided competition with each other, and people usually only went to one place.The smell of wine made me dizzy, it even got a little on my clothes. I felt annoyed, but it was almost dark. I got up from my chair and left the place. The sun was already starting to set, so I left as fast as I could from there towards the port.[...]Arriving at the port I saw more than thirty adventurers with their armor and weapons. I was a bit surprised to see people with bows and arrows, usually there were people with swords and axes, sometimes with staffs. There I understood that the level had gone up a bit. There were no more novice adventurers and I had more pressure on me. I was now under another level.
A frustrated hero Misunderstanding
He didn't believe anything I said. He looked pretty angry. There I could understand that maybe he knew the owner of that helmet and that's why he was so angry, but nothing I told him would make him change his mind. He had short red hair and blue eyes. He was taller than me, his face a little wide.Several people came to the dormitories and found themselves in the middle of the discussion. Seeing so much pressure, I decided to put on my helmet and take the rest of my things, I wanted to get out of the place, but he held my hand tightly.-I said, "You're not leaving just like that, you thief!I didn't hesitate for a moment and unsheathed my sword and put it on his neck quickly. He didn't know what to do, any strange move he made would cost him his life. However, the hero who was leading the mission came down the stairs and saw what was happening. He did not hesitate to speak.-What's going on here? Why are they fighting?I didn't let anyone else speak and answered.-A hero gave me thi
A frustrated hero Monitored
I left the bedroom with my things and went to the cellar, I was already bored of the same situation with that guy. Besides, I wanted to sleep and not stress about external things. Very few people were coming to this place. There was only the cook and some infants. I went to the corner and lay down in the corner, as if nothing happened. The dungarees made me a little uncomfortable, but it was better to wear them, as I didn't feel very safe with my things lying on the floor. I didn't know at what point being on this boat became so uncomfortable for me. I crossed my arms and tried to close my eyes. I didn't know that the infants were looking at me quite surprised to see me there. [...]I woke up hours later. Hours later, a little uncomfortable for being in the same position for so long. Apparently it was already dark. I got up from the floor and tried to go to the deck and look at the sea for a while. I couldn't stay cooped up in one room for so long.I went to the bow to look at th
A frustrated hero Ambition
I was alone with one of the Marines and since there was nothing to do, I stayed there playing dice with them.They had a kind of game where they bet, the first one to roll seven got all the money. I decided to participate, since I had nothing else to do.There were about eight of us, but I was doing badly, so I played for one last time. One of the Marines seemed to be very lucky, he won all the games and left the others with money. It was the last game we would play, I rolled the dice first. I was just waiting for a seven to come out so I could win this game.I clenched my fists and shook them a little, threw them and got a surprise.I rolled a seven, the Marine saw how I won the game and he got annoyed. -So much for that .... I got bored ....He got up from the floor where we were playing, but he took everything he didn't win. These games of chance were too tedious to win, but at least I didn't lose as much money as the other Marines.I went to look at the bow again, I was very cur
A frustrated hero Two roads
In the middle of the night I went with the two Marines that were put to guard me. They were the only ones who could help me in this situation and they were willing to help me. I put on my dungarees and helmet, to protect me from any attack, but they were only wearing the clothes I gave them there. It was dangerous, they could suffer an attack from any creature.I decided to be attentive to what was happening around me to protect them. I unsheathed my sword to concentrate on the movements of that place. The three of us carried oil lamps to better illuminate the place, although the moonlight helped us even a little with visibility. Getting off the boat was a bit complicated, we had to choose a boat and the rest of the three of us had to get off. There were too few of us to make that effort. They worked hard to get us out of there. We almost got completely wet, but luckily we didn't. We had to paddle with the oars.We had to paddle with the oars that were there. It was a bit difficult
A frustrated hero Swamp
The hero did not know what to do, he was very disturbed by this scene. The adventurers were fighting among themselves, it was detrimental to the mission, besides he didn't know who were the ones being controlled by that man. And I couldn't intervene in any fight just because.I didn't know what to do either, but I thought of something, but the two elves who were with us had to help us in this.I went over to where one of the two elves in the group was standing. He had long brown hair, he had a helmet on at the time. I looked into his eyes to see if he was being manipulated, but luckily he looked at me like a normal person would.-What do you want," he asked me.-Why are you fighting with that adventurer, if you can beat him easily. -So that no one will do anything to him, he is one of my group mates.There I understood that I couldn't intervene in that fight, I could only hope that the elf would think of helping me.He cast some kind of spell and immobilized his friend.-So what do y
A frustrated hero Deception
I woke up hours later, I was quite tired and my body ached a bit. I was sleeping for a few hours. The elf had created the bridge to that mountain. There were huge columns of ice between the swamp, to hold it up, plus he put railings on it to keep us from falling.I had just opened my eyes and was a little scared to go up there. It looked very high and it was easy to fall, and the ice was slippery. I saw the hero chatting with the hero on that bridge. Even he was hesitating to go over there. The way from here to that mountain was quite a way. Maybe 4 kilometers of travel. It would take a few hours to get there. Several of my companions woke up little by little and began to see the bridge. Like me, they were surprised and were trying to analyze it.I got up from the floor and cleaned my armor. The grass and sand was sticking to my armor, although it was not important now, the smell of the grass was a little uncomfortable for me.It was getting close to nightfall and we needed to decide

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
