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
|Hey, Will, what would you do if you can't do something, like no matter how hard you try, you just can't do it?| Tch! Why did I have to think of this right now? "Urg…" I stand back up the best I can but it seems my body won't hold out much longer. "Ahahaha…I must have been a real fool to think that I could do it without going beyond the limits." "Are you finally going to give up?" The ruler of demons is standing in front of me, with his eery presence and his dominant strength. "I will commend you for resisting so much but sadly, it has to end. You can blame that god for giving you such a handicap." "Handicap, huh…" He is not wrong though. I would have never thought there would be so many obstacles on my path. If I had known, perhaps I wouldn't have…I see. "Fufufu, I see. That's why I thought about it now, huh." "Amazing. You smile even in front of your death. You truly were amazing." The bastard raises his hand and makes a giant black
"Welcome heroes. Welcome to our world." Among the almost hundred people that are standing before us, a woman wearing a stylish armor is talking. Her helmet doesn't show even the color of her hair or her eyes. Most of the others people also wear armors but she has the most stylish. Some of them are wearing indigo priest attire with hoods hiding their faces. "What is happening?" "What is this? Is this a prank?" The guys present all start looking around with dumb surprised faces. But I guess I must have the same kind of face right now. "I can't believe it." I blurt it out without thinking. But I don't think anyone would resent me if they knew. That fucking old bastard was telling the truth. The whole time, it was all true. Right when I was about to give up and accept that I was mistaken, I am shown the way. "I know that you may be surprised but we beg you to remain calm as we will explain everything." "Hey!! What the fuck
Soon after me, all the other people who were brought to the room also wakes up and receives the same explanation. Ian, however, asks if it is possible to move and talk to other people. "Yes, of course, we don't mean to frighten you in any way." After the soldier answers him, he leaves his bed and to another one, without even looking at me. That's good. I won't move a finger should you guys do anything after all. A bit after, the door opens and three of those indigo priests enter. I thought Ian would start something as the door is opened but to my surprise, there is nothing going on. I can't see clearly who he is with because of all the decorations they put on the beds. "Once again, we greet you, heroes from another world." "From another world?" Apparently, there is a girl here as well. And from where her voice came, she must be with Ian. "Yes, it is surely confusing for you but you aren't on what you called earth right now. You are on
I still remember that conversation since it was one of the few we had where he wasn't yelling or trying to kill me. "There is one skill that you must get if you ever make it there. It is the only skill truly amazing that was hidden among trashes. That skill, I neglected it and regretted it as well. If I knew how much of a fool I was then." "I don't understand anything of what you are saying anyway so please, just let me sleep." "You will certainly, but for now, remember the name of the skill: Amplify." *** I didn't really believe in all this back then and I only wanted to run away from you at the time, but now, I would almost want to say thank you, almost. "You…don't you understand what-" "I don't care, Ian. You guys have your problems and I have my own. And it is not like we need all of them to teach us, right?" "What are you going on ab-" I grab the priest's hand while Ian is talking. If I let them go with thi
A guy comes out from the knight. He is wearing a red armor and the gold lining on it creates the shape of a predator's jaw which is ready to bite. His brown hair are attached behind his head, allowing his face to be seen clearly. He has no scar on his face and "Vice-captain of the order, Sir Telestal, the kingdom thanks you for your cooperation. We hope t-" "Spare me the pleasantries. We all know you don't mean it." "I see. Then, I shall take my leave." The guy leaves just like that. And the others turn around and start talking among themselves, as if to flee from my eyes. What are you all feeling guilty about? It is perfectly understandable that the weaks are cast away. I see nothing wrong with that. "Let's go, then." Telestal turns around and starts walking. I follow him and as we get past the other knights, I notice that some of them have recent wounds. Are they already at war? We leave the courtyard through an iron gate and
We enter the courtyard and to my surprise, the butlers and the maid from earlier are already changed. "That's some awesome speed they have." I don't think it took us two minutes to get here. And yet, not only did they change but they arrived here before us. And they are not even sweating? Maybe they wore a one-piece armor above their butler uniforms? The maid then comes to me. She is wearing a tight leather armor that follows her body to the clock. She also has daggers attached to her waist. She is holding a white shirt and pants and three different weapons made of wood: a sword, a dagger, and a mace. "Sir, would you like to change?" She presents everything to me. "Hm… I don't really care but, yeah, no problem. Just the shirt though, I don't want to waste too much time." I take the white shirt with long sleeves then as I remove my school uniform, I hear a weird noise coming not from the girl but from Telestal. "What is it?" I l
"Sir hero, are you okay?" The next morning, the maid's voice wakes me up. As soon as I open my eyes, the results of yesterday's trials are lying everywhere in plain sight. That and I have a headache. "A magnificent skill, my ass. This thing is way too hard to understand." "Sir?" "It's nothing. Good morning." "Good morning, Sir will." The maid shows me a beautiful smile. Is she not angry that I have torn down almost everything in here. Yesterday, when I managed to finally use Amplify for the first time, I immediately tried it on different things. In the end, I didn't manage to use it on a full mattress so I took a piece of it as small as a handkerchief and amplified it. Now, it's only about testing it. "I guess Telestal is up already." "Yes, sir. He is actually training in the courtyard. He told us to ask you if you would like to have a morning spar against him." "I see. Let's go then." "Do you not want t
"Do you bear enough hatred to see through it?" That question that he asked me when I was on the verge of death. My mind still vividly remembers that day vividly. No, even if it didn't, the scars I bear are a constant reminder of everything I went through. When I was five years old, my parents decided to go on a trip to a nearby mountain. For three days, or was it two? Anyway, we stayed there, and I was listening to stories from my father about the world he has seen when he was traveling. Then, during the night, I heard some noises. I woke up and saw the shadow of a gib animal outside. But by the time I could scream, it had attacked us already. "Was your father able to do something?" Telestal is listening to my story with such attention his eyes are shining a bit. "If you are going to interrupt me every second, we won't be able to finish this." "Okay, okay. Sorry." "As I was saying then…when we were attacked, my father indeed tried to d
