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.

    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.

    Out of nowhere the sky became clear as if it were daytime. Not even the crab men knew what was happening.I was surprised to see that, it was like a spell, maybe there was an elf with great power, but that wouldn't help us here. I felt it was just an unimportant distraction. Our situation was not going to change from one moment to the next.One of the heroes stood in front of all of us to motivate us to fight and decided to fight without thinking twice. He knew we had no choice.I, like my companions, was also willing to fight, in spite of everyone. We could not throw ourselves into the sea as we would have more disadvantages there. From one moment to the next I started to feel much stronger. It was very strange for me. Because of the events that happened a few seconds ago. I came to the conclusion that maybe it was the spell that was cast on the island. I decided to take my sword and went towards one of the crab men. I tried to wound him with my sword, but one of them dodged me. How

    In spite of that we all decided to fight and not just wait for the elf to seal the portal quickly.Like the previous time I was able to quickly cut down every creature that came my way. I left several wounded, but they were still very fast, and they could hurt us. So I tried to be careful.In an oversight, when I was trying to dodge the attack of a monster with a kind of fin, another monster pierced me with its form in the back very close to my arm. It almost tore it off with a single attack. I didn't even feel at what moment it had been, for me everything happened very fast and I wasn't able to move in time. I fell to the ground from one moment to the next. I didn't understand what had happened to me, but I tried to get up. However, I couldn't. I was left with no response to a situation like this.Luckily one of my companions managed to react in time and finished with that creature in a matter of seconds, but he did not remain silent and spoke to me.-Hey you, do you think this is a

    We were all still on the boat, a little cold, tired from the trip and from everything that had happened. The people who were captured were tied to the sails of the boat and none of them could speak, because they had a cloth that did not allow them to speak. I was a little worried that the version they had not given was true, but I did not witness what had happened. I just kept silent and looked at them. They were all the crew and five heroes. I didn't know if they were innocent or not, that would be determined by the authorities who would take them to the dock.I tried to ignore them and just stayed in the bow contemplating the panoramic landscape of the sea. At that point we were close to the dock. I felt much calmer, I would finally rest and sleep well, without so much uncertainty. The wind was finally on our side and helped us to move much faster at sea, although it was a little hot at this time of day. Around us, dozens of boats of all sizes passed by, as if nothing had happened

    I was feeling a little melancholy as I took my things and left. I had already spoken to the receptionist and explained that I would be leaving soon. So I didn't have to explain anything to her. As I walked out into the street, I felt that suffocating heat that was starting to set in early in the morning. I decided to walk faster to get to the outskirts of the city of mud and stone.The wound I had on my shoulder no longer hurt. It had healed completely and the scar was no longer noticeable. I only hoped that I would not suffer a similar wound again, it was very annoying. As I walked I saw that other adventurers were also leaving this city, but as we were all somewhat distant no one spoke. We only participated in the missions in silence, perhaps because of the rivalry to stand out more. Unlike all of them, I had no armor, and that was one of my weaknesses. From now on I had to look for a suitable one so that I could be calmer and not receive so many wounds in my body.While I was thin

    The floats started off at high speed, none of them wanted to be involved in what had happened. Apparently they knew who were the people who were doing this and did not want to talk out of fear. I just wanted to get out of this place as fast as possible and avoid this problem that no one seemed to want to solve. I thought Krabbe was dangerous, but the surrounding villages were worse, as if there was no law and order. Everyone was silent about what was happening.As I thought about what was happening. I felt very strange as if the horses were very scared, because of the attitude of the coachmen. I got a little scared, but as we moved forward little by little everyone calmed down. It was for the best because this could end badly if the carriages collided. Everything was left in the hands of the coachmen's control.[...]I got out of that oppressive heat two days later, so I took another coach because the man was not going to take me to my destination and he looked very scared because of

    Because of Alfred's attitude, we had to leave the place so that no one would hear us. He was very angry with me and I could not explain anything well. We went up to the second floor of the guild on a kind of balcony where there were many war decorations, although they seemed to be trophies.There was a wooden table where the three of us sat.-So what are you going to do from now on?-I'm just going to do another mission.-You've got a lot of nerve.-Alfred, please control yourself. You're just an adventurer. Now that the guild of another city gave you a position. You think you're the defender of justice?-Yes, at least they gave me a position, unlike you who don't help me at all.The brothers began to fight as if nothing, they didn't care about my presence.-It's all right. Alfred if you are so worried about what Gabriel does, then go to him....ah...but, he changed his name, you can't call him that. I think it's Isaac, if that suits him.I hadn't even given myself a new name because o

    After a while I was already changed, I quickly left the place. I started to walk around the shopping area, trying to buy clothes and ask about what was going on in this place. I saw the right person to start a conversation. There was a man with a cart selling fruit. He was someone of age, with quite a bit of short gray hair, black eyes, somewhat tall, and wearing a gray robe. I approached him.-Hello, how much are the apples worth?-Two for three coins," he answered.-Give me four.He put them in a cloth bag and handed them to me. I gave him several six coins. There I began to talk to him about what was going on in this place.-Are there people who hate kings?-Yes, their laws have brought nothing but trouble. They take men away to fight their wars. No one can do anything against what they order, I was saved by my age and because I was already in their ranks and lost a foot. I feel sorry for what they did to a country. They finished them all off without mercy. I tried to stay calm w

    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
