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

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
A frustrated hero Store
Little by little more soldiers arrived and caught those two people. I just waited for them to help me. I felt very bad, and I couldn't get up. I left the shield on the ground. The guild leader came with the two men who had healed me a few hours ago. While they arrived I removed the arrows from my feet with the hand that was still good. It hurt me a lot to remove each one of the arrows. I got up from that place and tried to avoid bleeding so much.Both my feet were wounded and it was impossible to move.When the two men who had healed me arrived, they both looked tired.As if they had participated in the battle from the buildings.-Again you..." The older one said to me.-Yes, that's the life of an adventurer.-Okay, just stand still.He started to make those weird circles on the floor and little by little I felt my wounds heal completely.I got up from the floor and still felt the nagging pain. I looked at the two people who had handled those beasts. They tied their hands and feet
A frustrated hero Escort
After a week I left early for the guild. I was going for a rank A mission, I wanted to make a good impression so that they would give me the option to aspire to be a hero, although I didn't know how the organization's protocols were for that.I didn't really know which mission was the one that would help me earn a spot.I went to see the mission board and among the few there were. There was one on a strange continent. In which they left the most dangerous people. I was a little scared to go there, but there could be recognition, plus the pay was quite a lot. Almost five thousand coins, basically about eight missions. I just had to escort some soldiers to drop off a dangerous assassin.It left me pretty dismayed. I was about to look for another one, but the guild leader spoke to me.-Doubting?-Uh...yeah, I don't think I could do something like that.-You could win the friendship of a kingdom, and you would have some power.-I know, but... Why does hardly anyone ask for this mission?-
A frustrated hero Magic
We arrived at the iron gate of the place. The general knocked several times until finally someone opened the door. It was a tall, handsome man with a dagger in his hand. The two of them began to talk about what had happened. Apparently they came to a conclusion, but we had to wait outside and in that heat that we could not stand I drew my sword because those armed people would probably come out.The soldiers with us were not prepared for this, most of them had no weapons and were just guarding the ship. The general did have a dagger and a pistol. It wasn't much help, but they would be of some use at a time like this.From where we were they could see the ship about 4 kilometers from here and I saw another one arrive, I didn't know if it was true or an illusion because of the heat it was getting at that hour.[...]After a while the six adventurers who betrayed the crew came out. They apparently had fought there. When they saw us they started to fight us too. The general was the first
A frustrated hero Greenhouse
The way back to my lodging was somewhat complicated. I went through half the city and I had to try to recognize several areas where I had passed and slowly I arrived at the place I was looking for. I went there quite quietly, I did not want anyone to notice that I was lost, nor that I was not from this city. I just entered the lodging as if nothing had happened, although I knew that when this kind of incidents happened it was normal that they started to search the cities looking for spies. And since this was a place that usually had foreign people, it was obvious that they would come here at any moment. I just went to my room and put on my dungarees to look more like an adventurer or hero so that no one would start suspecting me. I had enough problems and I just wanted to rest a little bit from that exhausting trip.When I entered my room I lay down on the bed almost a few minutes later, my eyes began to close and I began to sleep ignoring what happened for now. I only thought about
