A frustrated hero Recruitment
The next day I went in a caravan to Altamira, I needed to get there before the battle started, as I knew it was almost impossible for them to win this war. After knowing the link that Schlange had with the wizards. I was even surprised why he had not started the war earlier. I was a little uncomfortable with this situation, but it was my duty to help because I could not let that kingdom become stronger, so I could never defeat them, besides in Altamira I had already secured part of my life, and I would not let anyone take away what I left as an old man.Luckily for me the conflict between countries in this area had ended quickly and I could leave quickly to Altamira. I only hoped that they would not treat me as a stranger and would not think that I was a spy, since it was logical that something like that would happen in times of war.On the way I had to walk I noticed that on both sides there were weapons and different objects on the ground, all of them were used for the war. There we
A frustrated hero First battle
We spent three days walking in the open, enduring the heat during the day and the cold at night. They were perhaps the worst moments of my life. The food was a bit disgusting, very tasteless and simple. They gave us a somewhat dry and poorly preserved bread, because of the temperature in which we had to walk. It was prepared simply for us to eat and that was it. They didn't care if we liked the food or not, and they didn't handle the food well, so several soldiers got sick and walked with difficulty for a good part of the trip.I tried to eat that, and avoid thinking about what I was ingesting. I felt dizzy many times, but there was nothing to eat, so I had to get used to it.When we were finally able to rest in a fairly tropical area. I sat down on a rock and tried to pull myself together, I was tired from all the walking. I started to regret coming to this place. I didn't think it would be so difficult, I thought we should just fight, but it has been quite a problem to move from to
A frustrated hero Group
The war did not let up when we passed through a village we noticed that there were multiple displacements of people. It was very strange that something like that was happening, but the general ignored that, we had to continue on our way without looking back. I felt something strange in my chest. I had never felt anything like that before. I wanted to stop in the middle of the desolate and lonely road I was traveling. I didn't know if it was a warning that something was going to happen or a normal pain, but I fell to the ground on my knees. Which caught everyone's attention. Although I did not talk to anyone, they all saw me as a hero, someone different from everyone else, and in a way they respected me. Seeing me like that, the whole troop stopped for a few minutes. Nobody understood what was happening.But almost two kilometers away from us something quite strange came out of the ground, it was maybe a giant hundred-footer. About 10 meters long and 5 meters high, and from one moment
A frustrated hero Scorpion
Several soldiers from various groups took their weapons and did not care about anything, they went to that monster they had in front of them to kill those creatures, but they were exposed to suffer serious damage or die, since they were not stupid creatures as when they were small. It was clear that they had intentions to kill thousands of soldiers to cause us enough casualties to put us at a disadvantage for the war. No one from my group went there to fight those creatures. We just left it up to the other groups that were there.I knew that this creature had perhaps been made by one of the wizards exactly for this place, what I didn't understand was how it got here. I was a little terrified I thought I was the cause of this. Every time strange creatures appeared my chest hurt and it was too strange.I just stood and watched the battle. Many soldiers started fighting without thinking about what they were doing. It was all quite dangerous. That creature grabbed one of them with its pi
A frustrated hero Suffering
After a while the rest of the soldiers arrived for the battle, I felt lost in this place. I had no one I knew and I was a little worried, but from one moment to another I saw Alfred talking to the elves, for me it was encouraging to see a familiar face among so many people, but I could not talk to him because he was busy at that moment, and it was still a waste of time, besides I had nothing to tell him.I felt that someone had touched my sword, and I grabbed it to prevent it from being stolen. It was a strange dwarf, with a red beard, and black eyes, just like everyone else he had the same armor.-What do you want to do with this armor," I asked him.-It's not normal... I see that you are a tomb raider, you stole it from a dead man of many years.-I didn't steal it from anyone. I found it in a dungeon.-You are a thief and you smell like those beasts the wizard has. You deserve to die, traitor.From one moment to another he attacked me with his sword, and I managed to dodge his atta
A frustrated hero Snakes
The next morning the body of the former head of the Altamira guild was buried under a deep grave in the sand. Since we were in his country. It didn't matter where he was buried. Only that it was his homeland. It was all in the early morning because the group as soon as the sun rose we went to where it would be. The combat zone, the first in line were the heroes, some were on horseback and some of us walked. I was a little annoyed, I knew that the enemy soldiers had something strange planned and I spoke to Alfred.-The best thing to do is to wait for him, tell the others and see what they think.-I don't understand. .... Why?-They know they have the advantage, but I wasn't sure if they will win. They are a country with few inhabitants. Maybe they set traps everywhere at night. To reduce the number of soldiers and have more advantage.He started to think a bit and made him go to the elf of the group and talk to her while we were all walking.It was something quite fast as it made all
A frustrated hero Counterattack
The sun had not yet risen and all the heroes were awake. No one could sleep after all that had happened. There was still a long way to go to finish this war and none of us knew what to do at that moment. The moonlight was the only thing that helped us, at least thanks to it we were not totally dependent on the visibility of the campfire and the torches we were carrying at that moment. Even though we felt a slight peace, I was quite tired. The combat against those creatures was quite hard for me. Being healed so many times was very bad, it left my body weakened, besides I lost a lot of energy for having used that sword so many times.I lay down on the ground, I could no longer stay awake. I just looked to the south of this place. I tried to be attentive to any movement of the enemy army and not let fatigue overcome me easily.[...]I woke up in the middle of a strange movement in the desert. I saw many soldiers running towards the south. I tried to get up from the ground, and wiped th
A frustrated hero Intervention
The barrier gave us time to recover from the continuous enemy attacks, which would end in a matter of minutes, as they would run out of arrows at any moment.There were many wounded, since the arrows that had fallen near us were like rain, it was as if they were simultaneously organizing to attack us from the air. Luckily the elves began to heal all the wounded of the place, however the enemy army did not stay waiting for us to recover. They sent troops towards us, and they were not simple soldiers. They were heroes who had no intention of leaving us alive. From where I stood I could see their weapons, which were a little different from the ones we had. Meanwhile the heroes in our group were preparing for battle. They all tried to pull themselves together and draw their weapons as the enemies were coming.The elves finished healing the enemies, but did not head towards the battlefield, apparently they would stay here and wait for the small confrontation between the strongest to end.

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
