2024-10-29 19:42:56It 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.

“Damn.” I never heard so much crap since the first day David started bullying me. One thing is clear though, the people of this world are most likely bewitched. And I can thank the first hero for that. “I hope I will be able to fullfil Efreet’s request fast.”Now that I have dropped my guard, I can only deal with what I have before me and try my best.“By the way, Valkyrie…”“Yeah?”“What are you going to do with the guys waiting outside?”After she released her aura earlier, lot of guys have started to gather at the stairs. Maybe they thought it was she was dying. In any case, it is high time I leave. I am sure Warren is waiting for me.“You should escape with her. If you two are soulmates, it is important that you stay together.”Saying so, she goes to the door and puts her hand on her sword.“Sigh…What have I done again?”<

Right when I finish speaking, Oriana falls to the ground, her body slightly twitching. And now, the back of head hurts for nothing. What is wrong with her now?“What did you say just now?” Warren has already moved to me and his face is right before mine. I can even feel his violent breath on my skin.“Wait a bit first.” I go to Oriana and she seems to be in a sort of trance. Her eyes are completely white.” Preventing her from hearing the truth, huh…”“What’s going on with her?” Warren comes as well and try to feel her pulse. “She seems fine. What happ…Come on, seriously.” He looks at me with a large but sad smile. The smile of someone who has found a buried treasure.“Yup. That guy is a real piece of work.”“Ahaha….Ahahahaha!!! All this time! How long were we fooled?!! Oh, dear lords!! Ahahaha!!”Warren laughs and cries at the same

“Hnrgh…” Oriana finally wakes up, brealing our conversation and my mood. “Anyway, what I have to do is clear. Almost impossible, but clear.” I look at Warren and he smiles even more, taking his meat back from the fire. “Defeat god, eh? Such an amusing and funny idea. I am in!” He bites a big piece of meat and starts chewing while the annoyance wakes up totally. “What are you guys talking about? Hey, hubby, I want some as well.” “Nothing that concerns you.” Calm down. No need to be angry. “She calls you hubby?” “Just leave her alone, Warren.” After we are done eating, Oriana stands up and comes to sit near me. This is becoming more and more irritating. “Don’t get too familiar with me, I am serious.” “Don’t you feel it?” “Feel what?” What is this crazy girl talking about? “The attraction between us. Don’t you feel that electric tension building up whenever we are close.” “Hm…Miss, I am pret

“Anyway…” I take the first stance and gets ready to receive him. He disappears again, almost and I strike to my left. Just like earlier, the feeling of punching the tip of a blade combined with an explosion tells me I was right.Then I use the second stance to block him from the right. He is really fast. But I can take it. With the third stance, I kick the air behind me but to my surprise, the guy ands on my foot instead.“Insolent little-”His blade aims for the shoulders joint of my armor but I manage to brush it off by spinning around. Sadly, it breaks the dance of fire and he still manages to cut through the steel. Part of my shoulder’s armor falls off while the commander lands five meters away from me. You are going to play hit and run with me, huh.“I never really liked games but why not.”“Do you want me to help?” Warren asks me from the side but there is no need.“No,

HIRVIN OTUN POV:“Sigh…”Walking really is tiring. I have been walking for a week and it is seriously getting tiresome now. It’s true that it helps me as well since I got to hear some news here and there on my way to the capital.The most surprising one I heard was about Stephenson, he was sighted near the capital as well. The travellers talking about him said that a pervert was seen chasing a woman, butt naked, with only his top armor on. It could have been anybody but the description of the armror matches his too much.As for the other rumors, one was about a hole that suddenly appeared in a city where there was a fight among heroes. I didn’t know those brats fought among each other to the point it was known to the public. I wonder who it was. Surely, Tennessee’s daughter was involved. She is taking too much after her mother; no, actually, from both parents. Especially the tendency to involve in everything thing, eve

Will’s master was a hero in this world as well. Isn’t that right?” Will, how much did you reveal to this guy? Did you trust him that much?Telestal looks at me and after I nod, the heavy atmosphere that was settling dissipates.“Then, can you help us?” One of the heroes finally open his mouth.

“Wait a minute, aren’t you Will’s father?” It seems Gordon’s son recognized me. I wonder when he saw me. I don’t remember hanging out with their children that much.“W-what?” The knight who was advancing to me turns around with a trembling voice then looks back at me with teary eyes. “Is it true?”He asks me as if it would change his whole life.“What do you-”“Are you truly his master?” He asks a different question now.“His master?” Wait, did he know Will? “Did you perhaps know him?”“I…” The knight kneels before me and lowers his head. “I am the one who failed to educate him when he came to this world. Should you blame anyone for his death, I should be the one to bear that grudge.”“Well, that was unexpected.”Since I found someone who knew him, I decided to stick with the group of heroes for

What surprises me is that they seem to come from the sea. Why and how were they able to swim to here? What even happen that could lead to this situation?“Why do I even think about it?”I run past the mercenaries who are fighting and grab one of the two knights who came earlier by the neck.“What is hap-”I don’t give him the time to retaliate in any way and goes through the horde of monsters coming while holding him.The trolls start swinging their arms as soon as I am near them.

“Get serious?” The Valkyrie frowns and a sudden fighting intent fills the place, making the air heavier. I guess I got her mad. “You arrogant little shit.”The knight with her grabs his sword with two hands and releases his aura to the fullest as well. Well, why not?“let’s see.” I release my aura completely as well and although it is a bit disappointing, I was already aware of the fact that the Valkyrie had a stronger aura.Sadly for her, it is not with the power of your aura alone that you can win a fight.“Be ready!!”“Yes!!”After screaming to the knight, the Valkyrie raises her hands and unleashes a powerful move full of aura. Sigh…You don’t seem to understand. Surely, they are waiting for me to use my skill and create a counter. You never even thought that I could have more than one skill.“That’s why it’s difficult to get serious wi

As she releases her aura, it creates a pressure all around me. Yeah, the Valkyries are still quite powerful.“But this is not really threatening.”“He is a hero!! Be careful!” Under the warning of the guy I was trying to kill just now, the Valkyrie stops and backs away immediately.“All the heroes were brought back to the principality of the god of law and balance for further training, why did you stay behind?”The other knigths join her back, only the guy I was sure to kill stays behind me.“Valkyire of power, I believe he is not with the heroes who came.” One of the knights start speaking with him. It would seem he was present during the summoning ceremony.“Eh? Then what? You are saying he came here by himself?”“I don’t know. But we will need to investigate.”From everything they just said, it seems they don’t know Will defeated the demon ki

In less than two minutes, he puts the fish on a plate and the pink color is shining even more while the fish smells really good. I remove my gauntlets while he prepares the dressing and puts it all around the fish.“Here you go.” He puts the plate before me and the smell is even more fragrant now.“Thank you.”“Wait!!!” Right as I am about to dig into it, the cook stops me, presenting me a small bowl of water. Oh, I forgot.“Sorry, I forgot a little.”“No worries.” The etiquette as they say. I wash my hands first then dig into the fish.AThis…this isn’t as good as I remember. It is true that it smells good but the taste isn’t as I remember. It used to be better. It used to be the best. So how come?“Sir, is there a problem?” The cook seems to be concerned about me.

At my request, the fog puts its finger on her grave once again but this time, Florencia appears. She looks exactly as if she was alive. How come?“Hirvin?”“Y-yes.” I am so surprised to hear her voice that I fumble and bite my tongue. I never thought she would look like this. “I-I-”“What is happening? This…I was not here before, and then I came back?”“It is only a dream, don’t worry.” I wonder how the place where you are now looks like. But I won’t ask. I shouldn’t ask.“I see. Well, it’s true that I do tend to dream a lot. I always had, right?”“Yeah, you were quite the big dreamer, quite the naïve one as well.”“Fufufu. You are always the same. You are too honest.”“Hehe. Not as much as you.”After I say that, silence falls and we don’t say anything for almost a minute.
