I excecute the second stance then the third but when I am about to use the fourth one, a voice comes to my ears.
The voice of the woman who was using the dance of the wind earlier.
“Your left foot is misplaced. Correct it by five degrees.” She is whispering, though.
I look back at her and the flames extinguish. Shit. She is still kneeling with her hand crossed like the others. Aren’t they tired?
“You have seven minutes left, sacrifice.” And this guy won’t leave me alone at all.
I restart everything from the beginning and when I reach the fourth stance, she almost says the same thing but I correct it before. I continue with the fifth and sixth, at the seventh, she intervenes once again.
“Right hand, to the left a bit more.” And I am forced to stop and restart again.
This woman, whoever she is, is more precise than him. It’s surprising but I guess it is normal since she is from this

I don’t know if it is because we asked our question at the same time, but I felt like time stopped for a moment. The woman then walks to the thrones and sits at the end at the far left.“I have asked you a question.” Don’t ignore me like that.She crosses her legs as elegantly as she can and takes an intimidating posture but with her look, she looks pitiful at best.“Should you not present yourself first if you wish for answers?” The way she speaks is…solemn. I feel like I am compelled to answer without thinking too much.“I am Will Otun.”“Will Otun? A coward then.”“What?!” Who are you to call me a coward?!! “I am no co-”“Are you a wandering soul? Or did he send you to check on us? You smell like him after all.” A wandering soul?“Isn’t this the after life? I thought I was dead.” Could it be that this isn&

When I come to again, I am back at the castle. The dragon is standing before me and nothing seems to have changed. I look around and most people are still in the same state.“You have given away half of your life for the sake of succeeding. I shall at least acknowledge your resolve.” The dragon speaks to me but now, his voice feels less threatening, it is less powerful to my ears.“Just wait a little more, okay, Viltrax?” When he hears that name, the dragon’s eyes shine even more. His wings flaps a little and he shows a huge smile, even revealing his teeth now.“I see. So it might start, huh. I shall go and tell my master, that your judgment was pass down.”Viltraxx flies up and goes back inside the hole. Then, the sky returns back to normal and everything with it. The weird air around that was filling the place disappears as well.At the same time, a window pops up before me.[You have been

Under the head priest’s order, the soldiers advance with their spears but they meet a wall of ice blocking them. I am really surprised, how come this guy is using…Wait, is it truly magic? Could he be doing something similar to me? Does it mean he is the heir of water? Or is it just a remaining magic from his demon’s side. “It is the people commanding this church who brought into a bottomless pit of despair a hundred and twenty years ago. Even now, I cannot believe that my blood, that the blood of my clan survived, to the point that a hero is even born with it.” Saying so, he turns and looks at Sarah who looks back at me with a bewildered face full of surprise. “I know nothing.” Why does she look at me when I am not the one speaking. “Everything you say is blasphemy!!” The head priest’s voice resounds beyind the ice then the part where she is breaks with an explosion. While dodging the blocks that fly at us, I see her holding that same thing from before. “Hero

It has been a week since we fled from the city. We tried to go to a village nearby but there were posters of us as wanted criminals. Warren took one of them and brought it to me and even now when I look at it…“This really doesn’t look like me, does it?”On my poster, it is displayed a man with a scar, described with an ugly and hateful face, and every word I speak is supposedly the words of heretic. At least, that’s what Warren is saying from what is written below my portrait.Speaking of which, those guys have had so many generations of heroes and they still can’t even make printouts? What kind of stupid monkeys are governing here?“Or maybe I am just rusted.” Seeing as I am clearly displeased by the poster, Warren tries to save himself somehow, but the damage is already done.“Oh well, it is not the most important, anyway. What do we do now?” I look at him while he is cutting some fire

I go to the guy I killed an remove his armor. It’s not the best conduct to have but it is always good to have gear on. And his body’s size is close to mine so.“That’s not very heroic, I would say.”“I know, Warren. I know. Everything I will say right now will just be excuses.”“Sadly, it is also the way of war. Heroes usually don’t last long.”“Yeah.” Judging by his voice, I think Warren is trying to comfort me. I guess it is eating me up a little to do things like this.It wasn’t what I was imagining when I dreamed of it, I have to admit it at least. But I am here now, and I must push forward to realize my wish.***A few days later, we reach another village. This one seems smaller than the previous one and when Warren comes back after scanning the place, it would seem there are no wanted posters of us here.“But I heard something weird from t

It cuts through the air and when I dodge it, I have a familiar feeling coming from it. “Wait.” Now that I think about it, his aura was purple as well, right? “Oh, hell yeah!!” I release my first attack and she dodges it. While I use the second stance, she thrusts her sword but we manage to counter each other, a fire explosion occurs behind me. It creates a small shockwave that even pushes the valkyire backward a bit. “No!!” “Don’t attack!! Let me take care of him and take care of the other one!” It seems someone tried to make a sneak attack on me. I look to the sides and I already three guys on the ground, their arms encased in ice. Damn, I am wasting time here. I go with the third stance and the Valkyrie dodges it as well. The fourth one follows and she blocks it with her sword. A sound of a spark gets to my ears then she receives a lightning bolt. “Gyaaa!!!” She screams loudly in pain but still, she manages to jump out of it.

Now, it is rage that invades my brain, I will destroy. Everything, everyone, everybody. I will murder you all!! “Fucking dammit!” I manage to regain my senses by punching myself. “Fuu…okay, let’s-” “Are you okay?” I hear the Valkyrie speaking but I don’t think she is talking to me. Indeed, it would seem that hearing the girl behind her scream stopped her from continuing to attack me. She is carrying her as if the girl has fainted but I can see her eyes are clearly opened and looking at me. She doesn’t answer the Valkyrie for a moment but then finally shows signs of life by grabbing her hand. Wait…Don’t tell me that the heightened senses part is the same for her as well? The god of law and balance, no, the first hero is really a fucking bastard. “Are you okay? Do you hear me?” The Valkyrie releases her seeing as she is responsive but the girl doesn’t speak. She simply nods multiples times while trying to stand back up. How come I was fo

It was pretty obvious that the curse created by the guy who give us skills wouldn’t be suppressed by those. Else, he would look really stupid.“What are you doing?” The Valkyrie speaks to me while walking to the girl. When she reaches her, she reveals her arms and legs hidden behind the goon she is wearing.“I was testing something.”“Where you poisoned at some point?” I walk to her and the girl has multiples bruises and scars on her body.“No, it is worse than that.”“I knew it. She was an orphan.” The atmosphere around the Valkyrie starts going a bit electric.“Wait, is it always like this for orphans here?”“Yeah, in remote places like this, they are often mistreated. We try our best to provide assistance but there is only so much we can do.”“Right.”The girl’s eyes start twitching and then she wakes up slowly.
