CHAPTER 1- A new life

My grandmother is the person I love the most in my life. She educated me, gave me a home, food, love ... Thanks to her, I am the person I am now ... A kind, polite and respectful boy ... My grades are almost perfect ... I always strived to be a perfect boy. I wanted my grandmother to be proud of me, but ... Now that she is gone, it is not worth it to keep trying ... First I lost my parents, and now I lost the person I loved the most ... Is it worth staying alive? Debts accumulate ... We have always been poor, so we have no savings ... I... I don't know what to do.

"Grandmother... I don't know if I can go on without you ... I... I don't know what to do with my life."

I put my grandmother's photograph on an altar ... Or attempted altar ... I don't have money to buy a frame for the photograph... I put some flowers that I stole from the park ... I don't even have money for flowers ... I'm sorry, grandma ... I am sorry.

"Sorry... You deserve something better... But I am not able to get it."

No relatives... No money... Is it worth staying alive?

"Grandmother... Thanks for everything..."

I can't help crying... Grandmother.

"I will miss you."

"Daniel ..."

I turned to my left. It's Cris, my best friend.

"Sorry for entering your home without permission."

"Don't worry... Hello Cris... I would offer you something, but I have nothing."

I don't even have food... I'm starving, but I don't want others to feel sorry for me.

—... "Daniel, we must talk ... I was pondering whether to tell you or not, but I decided to tell you ... You deserve to know the truth ... We can't talk here ... Let's go to a quieter place with refreshing air."

"Of course."

I hope it's not more bad news ... My heart wouldn't take it.

Humans against demons.

CHAPTER 1

My name is Daniel and I will tell you a little about myself. I have long black hair, brown eyes and I am not very muscular, I am just thin. I'm a somewhat handsome boy, but that doesn't really matter to me, in fact, it annoys me. At school, I am always teased and hit by other guys out of envy or because their girlfriends try to flirt with me. But I hardly ever defend myself, I don't want to cause problems for my grandmother, I only defend myself when they really make me angry.

My grandmother and I live together, she is the only relative I have ... We are very poor, but at least we managed to survive and we are happy together ... Although everything changed ... I lost her forever.

My grandmother recently died ... Her death affected me too much ... She was the only relative I had... Now I am alone.

I sold some of my few things to pay for the funeral ... But I don't care, as long as I can give her a decent burial, I don't mind having to sell my things.

I have various problems on my mind and I don't know what to do ... How will I live? Will I be able to support myself ...? I'm trying to get a job, but no one hires me.

Right now, I am standing in front of my best friend, he told me that he wanted to tell me something important. We meet in a park.

Hope it's not bad news ... Huh?

—...

He shows me a picture with his smartphone. It's a picture of my girlfriend kissing a guy. My heart breaks when I see the photo ... She cheats on me ... The love of my life, cheating on me.

She was one of my few reasons to stay alive ... No... She was the only reason I had... I... I... I don't know how to react ... Why? Why did she do this to me?

"Sonia..."

"I'm sorry, I know what you're going through, but I can't let my sister see your face ... I'm sorry, if you need help, you can count on my help and that of my family, and you know it."

When my grandmother died, the family of Cris, my best friend, offered their help, but I refused their help. I do not want to be a nuisance.

"Yes... But I don't want to upset your family ... I'll be fine... Thank you for telling me, you will always be my best friend ... I-I must go ... I need to rest."

"Yes, I understand it."

I walk away and start crying. That really got to me ... My heart hurts... And much... I really loved her. I loved her too much. I thought I would marry her. I wanted her to be the mother of my children ... But I guess she didn't love me.

I want to end my suffering ... I don't want to live.

I'm sorry, grandma ... What I'll do is a very cowardly thing, but I really can't stand it ... You died, I can't get a job, I don't have money to buy food and now Sonia is cheating on me ... I know you'll be disappointed in me and I'm sorry, but ... I have decided to commit suicide ... I'll see you very soon, grandma.

•

•

I climb onto a chair and put a rope around my neck. I cut a hole in the roof and tied the rope to a corner of the roof of my house.

I'm in an unfurnished room and there are only some blankets on the floor that I use as a bed. The floor is dirt and the walls are not painted ... Yes, that's how I lived.

We have never had enough money to improve the house ... And I sold the few things I had.

"I'm sorry, grandma ... I really can't stand it ... That is why I will end my suffering."

I'm about to hang, I have the rope around my neck and I'm ready to jump.

"All my life I was a good person ... If there was a God, he would be compassionate to me and help me. I no longer have anyone, I no longer have reasons to live."

I'm about to jump out of the chair and smile as tears come out of my eyes.

I am happy and sad ... I will die, but soon I will see my grandmother again ... I have never been religious, but I am hopeful that paradise exists.

"This will be over soon."

I jump, but something strange happens. I can't move, I'm floating in the air ... What's going on? Is this what it feels like to die?

"Eh? W-why can't I move?"- I say scared and nervous.

This is too weird. I went crazy?

"W-wait, wait! Don't do it!"

Suddenly, I hear a voice ... It is the voice of an old man ... I don't recognize that voice.

"Were you really going to kill yourself ?! I thought you were going to regret it!"

Hearing that voice made me very scared and I turn pale.

Uwaaaah! I've already lost my mind!

"Who said that?!"- I say scared. No... Terrified.

An old man appears in front of me out of nowhere. The old man has a completely white suit, he is bald, and his eyes are completely white and bright.

... Ah... Yes, I went crazy.

"Hi, Daniel."- He said smiling.

What the fuck just happened ?! An old man appeared out of nowhere in front of me! This is too weird! I definitely went crazy.

"Who you are?! And why can't I move ?!"- I say scared.

"You may or may not believe me, but I am God."

Huh? God? Did I hear correctly? Did he say he was God?

"God?!"

"That's right. Daniel, I have been watching you for a long time, you are someone pure of heart, something rare in humans ... Well, your pure heart is a perfect combination between a normal pure heart and a beautiful soul ... You are something very rare."

Huh? Pure of heart? I've read stories about it, but didn't know it was true ... I have a feeling he is telling the truth, but this is too weird.

"P-pure of heart?"- I say confused.

"You are someone very good, you are perfect for a job that I want you to do."

Job? Is he asking me for help? But why me?

"M-me?"

"Yes, you."

He is smiling... He seems friendly.

If he is God, why doesn't he do it? He could finish the job easily.

"Why me? Why do not you do it?"

"My job is to observe and not interfere, but something very bad is happening in world 1, which is important to solve."

Are there more worlds? Is it an alternate world?

"World 1?"

"It's a parallel world. Let's say there are many worlds. Your world is number 15."

Hearing that God needs me is something I never thought I would hear, but I don't think I would be able to. I'm useless… I feel useless.

"But, I..."

"I know you think your life is ruined, but you can get through this. So, you can either help me with the job or kill yourself. Consider that if you help me, you could save many worlds, you would be a hero."

Me? Could I be a hero? Those words... For some reason, I don't feel as depressed as before ... Was all I needed to have a purpose in my life?

Is God giving me a reason to stay alive?

"A-a hero?"

"You are someone special, that's why I need you."

S-special ...? Me?

God extends his right hand to me smiling.

"Do you accept?"

Being a hero sounds great, and God himself is choosing me to do the job. It is something I must not reject.

"I-I guess I can't reject God. I-I will do it."- I say with a nervous smile.

God caresses my head. That feels good. It's a nice feeling.

"You have made the right decision."

I disappear from my room.

•

•

After God and Daniel disappeared, small rays began to emerge from the rope. Why? By direct contact with the magic of a God.

•

•

"Huh?! What's going on?!"- I say scared.

Everything around me begins to spin. I feel like throwing up... I think I'm going to throw up!

"We have arrived."- God said.

Suddenly, we appear in a forest. I try not to vomit and I calm down. That trip was pretty weird.

"Welcome to world 1, the world of magic and adventurers."

"M-magic?"- I say confused.

"In the different existing worlds, there are always different things. In this world there is magic, in world 3 there are psychic powers, and in your world there is technology."

I look at everything around me in amazement. Am I really in another world? Great... For whatever reason, I don't feel depressed ... This was what I needed, to feel useful ... My grandmother would be proud of me for helping God.

... Although I have a theory that I tried to kill myself, someone rescued me, but the lack of air in my brain caused me to go into a coma. I'm dreaming this ... Or that's my theory ... But...

I caress my hands and touch the ground ... Everything feels so real ... I will ignore the theory and believe that this is real.

"Incredible, I'm in another world ... What should I do?"

"This world is in danger because demons have appeared. Those demons have incredible magical powers. According to my calculations, in about three or four years a demon so powerful will appear, that it is going to destroy this world. If this world disappears, so do the others."

That sounds pretty bad ... He is God, he can eliminate demons easily. Why is he asking a guy like me for help?

"Why don't you avoid it? You Are God."

"My job is to observe and not interfere. Only in emergency cases like this, I interfere as minimally as possible."

"But you are God, you can interfere if you want, right?"

"Living beings must solve their own problems. They must survive without depending on others. I just give them a little help and that's all."

Living beings? What a strange way to call living things.

God's words are sincere, I feel it ... I still have too many doubts in my mind. I'm not depressed anymore, but I'm confused.

"I understand, but ... why me?"

"There are 63 worlds in existence. In those worlds I investigated people like you, pure of heart. And you were chosen. By the way, in your world there are more people with pure hearts than in other worlds."

I was chosen ... Of the millions of people that exist, I was chosen ... To be honest, that makes me very happy.

"Am I the purest?"

"No, just when I saw your life and saw how you were getting depressed, something inside me told me that I should give you a reason to live ... Although you also have something very special within you. Your soul is very beautiful, so you are perfect to help me."

Beautiful? I guess that's good.

"Wow, wow... Thank you."

"Take it."

A black fingerless glove and a pink smartphone appear out of nowhere in front of me.

"The glove allows you to use all types of magic, and the smartphone will serve as a map and other functions that you will discover later."

I take the glove and put it on my right hand. It's very comfortable to wear, it's as if I'm not wearing anything.

"It is comfortable."

"Great, because you won't be able to take it off."

"Eh?"

I try to remove the glove, but it doesn't come off ... It is glued to my hand... It doesn't bother me much, but it's kind of weird.

"Why?"

"It's dangerous to have it stolen."

It's logical.

"I see... It's okay."

I take the smartphone.

I always wanted a phone like this ... My first smart cell phone ... Great.

"A phone without buttons ... I've always wanted a modern phone ... Thank you, God."- I say smiling.

"Don't worry. Well, let's continue."

God touches my chest with his right hand and a light comes out of his hand.

"Now you have the power to revive. You're only going to revive twice."

The power to revive ... I think this world is very dangerous. I need to be careful.

God touches my forehead with his left hand and a light comes out of his hand.

"Now you have a great memory, perfect for learning thousands of spells."

Great, it's a great help.

"Is that everything?"

"Yes, see you later."

Huh? Is that all? Nothing missing? I need more information.

"Wait... What should I do now?"

"Find out how to do magic, defeat as many demons as you can, and most importantly, defeat the demon that will destroy the world."

God disappears and I sigh ... Well, my job started... To defeat means to kill ... That scares me, but I must do it... I must become a murderer ... It's for the good of the world. Even a pacifist idiot like me knows that it needs to be done ... I'll be a murderer ... I'll do it for God.

"Well … I guess now I must ..."

I get a call and I get scared. I was taken by surprise.

"Huh?!"

I look at the smartphone to find out who is calling me and the contact is called: "God."

I answer and put the smartphone to my right ear.

"H-hello?"

"I forgot to tell you something very important, in that world you can be rude, enjoy your life. Being pure of heart is good, but don't take it too seriously, have fun."

"It's okay... I guess."

"And remember this, you are very good, but don't be so good. In your adventure you will have to face demons, evil adventurers, monsters and other evil beings. You must bear in mind that you must kill them. Don't let your goodness get to you."

Yes, I know... I will become a murderer ... Will I be able to murder? I guess I'll find out soon.

"It's okay... I guess if you tell me, I guess I have to."

"I appreciate it, Daniel."

He hangs up the call and I look around nervously... Okay... I guess I have to go to a city or town first.

"Now... Well, I guess I have to go to a town."

I get a call and answer. I guess God has more information for me.

"It's the last thing I forget. The clothes you are wearing are not normal in that world, I will give you new clothes."

My clothes disappear and are replaced by new and elegant clothes. Now I wear a black suit with a green tie ... Is it really normal? I don't think so.

"Are these clothes normal here? I look like a businessman."

"It is normal for the nobles and royalty, they are the ones who best control magic. Try to get in contact with them and learn all the spells you can. Good bye."

Hang up and see my new clothes ... Is it really normal for nobles?

"I feel uncomfortable in these clothes ..."

I see my smartphone with a serious expression.

I must take my job seriously ... This isn't a game. I will not disappoint God.

"Well, the smartphone will serve as a map for me."

I find the map app and open it. The places have names, which makes it easy for me to locate them. I am in a small forest.

"I am in ... the forest of death ...?" What a name."

I see the map better ... After searching for a few seconds, I found a town near this place. It's a huge one.

"Central town 1. It is close to here. I'll go to town and investigate the place."

•

•

After walking for minutes, I reach the town and see many people with armor, weapons and several pretty girls. The town is huge, there are several food and fruit stalls. There are also stalls where they sell jewelry and weapons ... A typical and cliché medieval town.

"Do you smell that, Daniel? Clichés of an isekai story ... Will I be the main character or an important supporting character? Maybe I'm a filler character ... In time I will discover my role."

The town is really nice and interesting. People look friendly.

"Cool. The place looks very nice."- I say as I walk among the people.

I see a sign on the door of a house, the writing is very strange, they are like numbers, but a little more different. It is difficult to explain... One of the letters looks like a number 2, but with two small circles in the middle.

"Although I can't read, the writing is very different from mine ... Will I understand the language ...? God didn't tell me about it."

I focus and hear various voices.

"Sandro? Did he really do that?"- Said a girl.

"He is amazing!"- Said an excited girl.

I sigh in relief. I will have no problem communicating with others.

"They speak the same language as me ... I guess I have to find people who know how to use magic, to teach me how to use it."

I see someone in black armor walking and I approach him.

"Excuse me, do you know where those who know how to use magic meet?"

"Those who know how to use magic? I guess you want to go to the Adventurer's Guild. It's that place with that blue flag."

He extends his index finger and points to the guild. The guild is a four-story building... I imagined it to be cooler and bigger. It looks cute, as it is painted black.

The man's voice is very thick and something strange is heard. Being close to him, I can feel some warmth. A true adventurer ... Great! If I wasn't busy, I would ask for his autograph.

"Thank you very much."

I'm heading to the guild ... Okay... They speak the same language as me ... I will not have communication problems.

"They speak the same language as me, but their writing is different ... Why?"

I can notice that many people look at me strangely while I walk.

Have people already realized that I'm not from this place? Do I look like a tourist?

"Will I have something weird?"

I enter the guild and look around me.

There are tables, where adventurers eat and drink together. I guess it is also a restaurant.

There are adventurers who seem very strong. Most of the adventurers turn to me and glare at me with expressions of hatred.

Why do they see me like this? Do I look like someone evil?

Their looks make me nervous ... Why do they hate me?

"I-I don't think they like me."

I see a girl sitting at a desk. The girl has long red hair and has red eyes. She wears a red dress and has a red neckline. Next to the girl are 5 other women sitting at desks.

This world is very different from mine.

Now that I realize it, the people in this world are very different from those in my world.

I look around and see people with different colored hair. There are adventurers with white, red, green hair, and so on.

"Will I be the only one with black hair?"

I turn to the girl, who at the time I assumed, was an employee of the guild.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for people who know how to use magic."

My question confused her a bit.

"Eh? That they know how to use magic?"- She said while looking at me with a confused expression.

The girl looks at me with a confused expression and I get nervous ... Did I say something weird?

"Y-yes, who know how to use magic, please."

"All adventurers here know how to use magic."- She said with a small laugh.

I laugh nervous ... Yes, I assumed so... I think I look like a fool.

I thought it would be a clichéd world where few people are capable of using magic.

"Wow, wow... I-I see ..."

"Do you want to register or request the services of an adventurer?"

Register me... I think I need money for that ... It is true… I have no money! I need money to survive ... What will I do?

"I don't have the money to register, but thank you."

I smile at her and the girl looks at me flushed.

"I-if you don't have money, we'll charge you through work, don't worry."

I think I can accept ... Yes, I will accept it.

"Then I'm going to register. Thank you."

"Please, could you tell me what type of magic you have?"

Mmm... A classic question.

"I guess I have all types of magic."

The girl gets up surprised ... Did I say something weird?

"All types of magic ?!"- She said with a surprised tone.

All the adventurers stare at me ... Is that weird?

"Is it weird to have all types of magic?"

"No one can have all types of magic, it's impossible!"

No one? Wow, wow... God gave me something great.

"Impossible?"

"Please put your hand on this sphere!"

On the desk there is a glass sphere ... I guess it measures my magic power.

I am confused, but I decide to listen to her.

"Which of the two hands?"

"Whatever it is, it doesn't matter!"

I put my right hand on the sphere.

"Please wait!"

A minute passes, and out of nowhere, a card comes out of the sphere and the girl takes it.

"Daniel Conde. Age: 16 years. Types of magic ..."

The girl's eyes bulge.

"All?!!"- She yelled surprised and scared.

They all scream and stare at me. The faces of the adventurers changed, before they looked at me with hatred, now they look at me with fear.

"I guess that's good."- I say smiling nervously.

"B-but it's impossible! How can you achieve that?!"

"What happens is that..."

I get a call.

"What is that sound?"- Said the girl confused.

"Excuse me."

I take out my smartphone and everyone looks at me strangely ... I think there are no smartphones here ... I'm in a typical magical world without technology... Cliché.

I guess smartphones don't exist in this world.

I answer and put the smartphone to my right ear.

"What happens now?"

"You are forbidden to tell anyone what is happening. Make up something, but don't say that I sent you, much less about the demon who will destroy the world."

Well, keeping that secret will be a bit easy.

"It's okay, don't worry."

I hang up and put my smartphone in my pocket.

"What did you say?"- I say while looking at the girl.

"What is that?"- Said the girl confused.

Yes, smartphones don't exist... I've had two theories.

The first: In a world with magic, technology cannot exist.

The second: It is a simple coincidence.

"It's a smartphone."

"Smartphone?"

"I can't say anything more, I'm sorry. Registration finished?"

"S-sure. Welcome to the guild: "Golden Dragon"."

"Thank you."

She hands me my card. It has weird letters ... I don't understand a thing.

"M-my name is Grey, if you need anything, feel free to ask me."

"Thank you very much, Grey. How will I pay for it?"

"W-When you finish a mission, the registration money will be collected from his reward."

"Thank you."

I turn around and everyone keeps looking at me ... I guess I'll be popular ... That is good, as that means that I will make friends easily. I need much help.

"Wow, wow. I will be popular here."

I sit at a table, which is empty, and I take out my smartphone ... I have several doubts in my mind. What other features does my smartphone have?

"How will I charge it?"

When checking my smartphone, I see an application that says: "Tutorial".

"Tutorial?"

I open it and a message appears on the screen.

"Welcome, I'll explain the use of the smartphone. It serves as a map, allows you to take photos and videos, your smartphone also works as a weapon with the appropriate spells. It charges with magic, you just have to hold your smartphone with your hand and the smartphone will absorb some of your magic, the smartphone will charge in just 10 seconds. If you have more doubts, open the application again."

The application is removed and sigh ... ..It sounds easy. It did not solve all my doubts, but something is something.

"Okay... What do I do now? I think I should learn spells."

I open the application again and a new message comes out.

"What do you want to know?"

Only the message comes out and I try to open the keyboard to type, but it does not come out.

"Eh? Doesn't open the keyboard ... I guess I should talk."

I bring my mouth to the screen.

"I want to know spells."

The message is removed and another appears.

"You want to know spells, is that correct ...? Yeah, it's correct."

The message is removed and another appears.

"The spells that I know are: "Arches Nexus", it allows you to fly. "Muslar asio" allows you to have great physical strength, great endurance and incredible agility. And finally, "Sword Dex", allows you to appear a great sword, perfect for fights. They are all that I have registered."

The application is removed ... Okay... I just have to say those words ... It sounds easy.

"Well, I learned them. I guess I should just say those words. Now I must attract attention and thus enlist the help of powerful adventurers ... How will I do that ...? I guess I got attention when they found out I have all types of magic, but that won't do any good if I don't prove I'm strong."

Yes, that's obvious. Anyone can have great magic power, but they won't be interested in me if I don't show that I know how to use it.

"Really?"

"Yes."

I hear two men speak.

"Did you defeat an Orc with a knife? That's amazing."

"Thanks, it wasn't a big deal either."

"It's the most incredible thing I've ever heard!"

A great idea occurs to me. Thank you, sir.

"If I do a very difficult mission, I can get a lot of attention. They would consider me someone very powerful."

I turn to Grey.

"Excuse me, what is the most difficult mission you have available?"

"The most difficult? Currently there is a mission to defeat the black demon that is in our town. No matter the rank, anyone can take the quest."

A demon... Wow, wow... The main enemy appeared.

"Black demon?"

I don't know why, but I remembered the man in the black armor.

"Does he have black armor?"

"Yes."

"But I just saw him. Why is no one trying to defeat him?"

"He is very powerful, no one dares."

"Wow, wow... I see..."

I think for a moment, I don't know how to fight, but I must try to defeat him.

Wait... I have great magic power ... That means if I use the flying spell, I will be able to fly very fast.

An idea crossed my mind.

I can fly away if the demon manages to hurt me.

It's not a great idea, but I have to try something.

"I'll take the mission."

She is surprised by my words. I guess that was not expected.

"Huh?! Sure?"

"Yes."

Grey takes a paper from the mission wall. The mission wall is full of papers containing the mission information.

There is also a full board ... Wow, wow... There are too many missions ... Will there be few adventurers?

"Give me your card."

I hand her the card and she points some strange symbols on it with a pen.

"Ready."

She hands me the card.

"Luck!"

Yes, I need a lot of luck.

"Thank you."

I leave the guild and see the black demon ... I thought he was good. He doesn't look like an evil demon.

"He looked nice."

I step closer to him.

"Excuse me, are you the black demon?"

"Yeah, I am."

"And you are evil?"

"Evil?"

He starts laughing devilishly and I feel a little scared. He is definitely evil.

"Of course I am!! Why?! Are you trying to defeat me ?!"

"I-I guess I have to."

The black demon draws his black sword and everyone runs away.

"I accept your challenge!!"

I take a breath and sigh. Having him in front of me is very scary, but I have to put up with it. I look up to see his face. He is taller than me... But, for some reason, I think I can beat him. Black fire surrounds him... He is great.

"How about solving it outside of town?"- I say with a serious look. I cannot allow my fear to be reflected in my voice and face.

"For me there is no problem!"

We start walking and I look around me, people seem interested in our fight, because some follow us.

Yes, I know. Why didn't I train first to make sure I can use my magic? Two reasons. The first: I am very confident ... I don't know why, but I feel very confident ... I know that's bad, but I can't help but feel confident. The second: I forgot ... I literally forgot! I was planning to go and train but made the mistake of challenging him first ... I am an idiot! There's no turning back now.

I've seen a lot of isekai anime, the first enemies are always the easiest to defeat. If I'm right, I only have to say the spell to use it, so I'm sure I'll be able to fight him, I have a good feeling.

I have God on my side.

•

•

"What are you doing?! He didn't even train! You're supposed to be smart, Daniel! You did something stupid!"

God was watching Daniel ... And he couldn't help him ... Yes, Daniel is an idiot.

•

•

We left town and I got pretty far from the black demon.

"Are you ready to die?!"- He said confidently.

Am I ready? Yes, I was. I was about to commit suicide ... But now I have a very important mission. I must not die ... I will not disappoint God.

"I was recently ..."

I see that many adventurers are watching us. They are approximately 50.

"But for now, I don't plan on dying. Sword Dex!"

A sword appears in my hands. The sword is white, shiny and with a black hilt.

"Muslar asio!"

I feel my strength increase and I breathe deeply.

"I feel like my strength increases ... Great!"

"You are one of the few who dare to challenge me, you have my respect!"- Said the demon.

It seems that the black demon is confident, he does not stop laughing ... I've got a plan.

I run to him and the demon keeps laughing.

"Hahaha! Die!"

The black demon tries to hit me with his sword, but I can see his attack as if in slow motion and I manage to dodge his attack.

Amazing... The magic is amazing.

I look up and smile. I am under him. The angle is perfect.

The plan worked.

Now.

I attack the black demon with my sword and split him in half ... My sword is very powerful ... Great!

I walk away from him quickly ... I can't believe that worked.

"I did!"

I turn around and see that he is still standing ... He is not dead?!

"I didn't do anything to him?!"- I say scared.

The demon keeps laughing.

"Hahaha! You give me b...!"

The upper part of his body falls to the floor and black blood comes out of him. I'm a bit scared, I had killed someone, but since he was a demon, I calmed down.

I must bear it ... It was him or me... I had no other choice.

"So fast?"

Everyone screams excited.

"Did he defeat the black demon so fast? !!"

I see the body confused ... That was a bit disappointing ... Well, it was planned. He didn't attack me with all his might ... Being scared has its advantages. He thought I was weak and became overconfident.

"Are all demons weak? I thought they would have the power of regeneration."

I walk into town and everyone treats me like a hero ... I am somewhat sorry that they treat me like this ... But I like it.

"Wow, wow... That feels good."- I say blushing.

The sword disappears and I feel my strength disappear.

"Eh...? I guess spells disappear when I feel like I don't need them anymore."

I did it... My first day in this world is going wonderfully ... My first mission was successfully accomplished!

I enter the guild and turn to Grey.

"Ready, I defeated him. Now what do I do?"

"Did you defeat the black demon ?! Show me your card!"

I take out my card and show it to her. Grey's face is very funny, her mouth is open and her eyes are wide.

"You really beat him!"

All the adventurers who are there are amazed ... How did she confirm what I said?

"Did you know when you saw my card? How?"

Show me my card.

"The numbers I wrote down disappear until you finish a mission, die, or we remove it."

"Those symbols were numbers? How weird."

She hands me my card and I keep it.

"I'll give you the reward in a few minutes."

"Thank you."

What will I buy with my first salary?

A few minutes pass and Grey returns with two bags of coins.

"We've already discounted the registry. That's 50,000 gold coins, minus 100 coins from the register."

I don't think gold is worth much in this world.

"I guess it's a lot. Thank you."

My stomach growls and I blush. I remembered that I haven't eaten in days.

"I haven't eaten in several days... Do food is sold here?"

"Of course."

"How much are the saucers worth?"

"A gold coin."

Gold is not really worth much.

"Could you bring me two plates of food?"

"What kind of food?"

"Whatever, please."

I give her the two gold coins and sit at a table.

"Wow, wow... Great, it's a lot of money. Now I must get companions to teach me more spells."

Two armored men approach me.

"Hey, did you really beat the black demon by yourself?"

"Yes, I..."

A waitress arrives with my food and delivers it to me. Food is just meat ... It smells delicious! For a poor starving man like me, this is enough to cry with joy ... But I must bear it.

It smells delicious! I can't stop salivating!

"Thank you!"

I take a handful of gold coins out of the bag and hand them over.

"Here, for a tip."

"So much?!"- Said amazed.

To be honest, I don't know what to do with that much money. What could I do? Help others, financially speaking.

"Yeah, don't worry."

"Thank you!"- She said with a big smile and excited.

The waitress leaves very happy and turns to see the two men.

"Yes, I did it alone."

"Amazing! I heard that he was just as powerful as "the great Sandro."

"The great Sandro?"- I say confused.

He sounds smug, lustful, and annoying.

"He's the most powerful adventurer in the guild ... Well, he was until you came along."

"I see... Where is he?"

"He is on a mission with his female companions. I envy him, he is very conceited with his magic power, but the girls are crazy about him."

Yes, I assumed so... He's snooty and lustful.

"I see... Do you want something to eat?"

"No, we already ate."

"Okay."

"So ... you have all types of magic. That is amazing, it is impossible for anyone to achieve that. How did you achieve it?"

I stay a few seconds thinking about what to tell them... I got it.

"Training."

The two of them put on a confused expression ... I think I blew it.

"But you have to be born with the type of magic power, you don't develop training."

I look down ... Shit, I should have guessed.

"I'm sorry, it's a secret."

"Are you noble?"

"No, I'm not."

"Well, you look that way from your clothes."

"I am not."

I start to eat, but screams interrupt me.

"The best adventurer in the guild has arrived! I defeated a demon that was tormenting a town!"

... Well, that presentation already made it clear to me who he is ... For being a conceited person, he is capable of defeating a demon ... I must not underestimate his abilities.

I turn to see him. Sandro is a boy in his 20s, who has short green hair, green eyes, he is very handsome and, apparently, he is very strong. He wears a green shirt and green pants. He really likes green. At his side he has five very beautiful girls.

"Hey, was he here when the black demon was around?"- I asked one of the men.

"Yes, he fought with him, but it resulted in a draw. That is why they say they were equal in power."

"I see."

I keep eating and I hear him keep boasting about his victory.

"With that fight, I'm ready to face the black demon again!"- He said self-assured.

"Hey, don't you know yet? He has just been defeated."- Said a man.

"He was defeated?!"- He said with a surprised tone.

"Yes, for him."

The man points his index finger at me and I feel uncomfortable from the stares. I-I don't want to have problems, I just got out of one.

"For that dwarf?"

Huh? I am not a dwarf, I am one meter and 76 centimeters tall.

He starts laughing, he doesn't think the demon has really been defeated.

"You're kidding, right?!"

"No, he defeated him with one blow."

I ignore them and keep eating. I prefer to avoid problems.

"Do you know spells?"- I asked the men.

"About five."

"I know about seven."

There are thousands of spells ... They are few... I guess it's hard for normal people to learn spells.

"I suppose they are few ... Do you know someone who knows a lot of spells?"

"Well, I only know Sara."

"Yes, Sara is popular because she knows various spells. Based on what I've heard, she has notebooks where she writes down the spells that she knows."

"Thanks to her knowledge, many adventurers become stronger. She writes down the names of the spells, how they work, tips to learn and control them, and so on ... She is an excellent researcher and teacher."

She is perfect... I must get her help.

"Where is she?"

"She is one of the girls accompanying Sandro."

Ah... I wanted to avoid getting directly or indirectly involved with him.

He points his index finger at a girl in white glasses, with long blue hair, and very pretty. She wears a short red skirt and a red blouse. She seems like someone intellectual.

"Thank you."

I stand up and turn to Sara... I hope she will be kind and help me.

"Excuse me, could I talk to you for a moment?"

Sandro stands in front of me ... I have a feeling that I will have problems with him ... Ah, I wanted to avoid this.

"Are you trying to talk to me, dwarf ?!"

"No, with her."- I say pointing my index finger at Sara.

"You dare ignore me ?!"

He is annoying. He is the typical smug and annoying character.

"Can you shut up, please? I don't want to have problems."

My words make him even angrier ... He is too angry.

"Are you shutting me up ?!"- He said very angry.

Sandro draws his sword and looks at me with fury ... Fuck.

"I can't tolerate that!"

Shit, I have to defend myself.

"Muslar asio!"

I feel like my strength increases and Sandro tries to attack me with his sword. I duck and dodge his attack. I take advantage of it and hit him hard in the stomach with my right fist.

"AHHH!"- He said complaining about the pain.

He complains of pain... Too much... Shit, I didn't measure my strength well.

I took the air out of him with my blow ... He even vomited blood ... I'm sorry, but it was your fault. I just defended myself.

Sandro falls to the floor unconscious and the girls scream in fright.

"Sandro!"

"How annoying he is."- I say while I watch Sandro.

Sara looks at me surprised and I turn to see her.

"-Can I talk to you?"

"S-sure."- She said surprised and nervous.

From her tone of voice and her expression, I can tell she is astonished... If she considers me stronger than Sandro, I will be able to convince her to help me quickly.
