CHAPTER 2- The king.

Humans against demons.

CHAPTER 2

Sandro is still unconscious and Sara and I sit at a table.

She seems like someone trustworthy. I hope that she will help me.

"I'll be brief. Could you teach me some spells? I do not know any and would like to learn."

My question confuses Sara ... Did I say something weird? Isn't she a magic teacher or something? What's so strange about asking her that?

"You don't know spells?"

Ah... I get it... It's rare that someone with magic doesn't know spells.

"I only know three spells."

"Only three?!"- Said surprised.

Wow, wow. I suppose they are very few.

"Are they few?"

"There are thousands of spells, but you only know three! I can't believe that you have defeated the black demon and Sandro."

Wow, wow... I will have a hard time learning thousands of spells, and I don't have much time. Will I be able to learn so many spells? My memory is good, so I guess I can.

I need to get contacts.

"That's why I'm asking for your help, they told me that you know many spells."

"I know more spells than I can use. Tell me, what type of magic do you have?"

She is a teacher, after all.

She needs to know the functions of those spells even though she cannot use them to teach them to her students ... I like that.

"I guess I have all types of magic."

My answer made her smile ... She is mocking me.

"All?! But that's impossible!"- She said with a mocking look, she's laughing at me.

Sara starts laughing, she doesn't believe what I'm saying ... That's rude of her.

I will have to prove that I am telling the truth.

"Okay..."

I show her my card and she is surprised. She opens her eyes and mouth wide. I guess her already believed me.

Having all types of magic in this world is impossible (thank God, I have all types of magic), so it doesn't bother me that she didn't believe me.

"Unbelievable!"

I already have her confidence. Perfect.

"Will you teach me some spells?"

"Wait."

Sara gets up and wakes up Sandro with a pat on the face.

He opens his eyes bit by bit... Wow, wow.

He woke up very fast.

"Eh?"- Sandro said confused.

Sandro gets up and caresses his stomach ... I feel a bit bad, but it was his fault. I want to apologize, but I won't, I just defended myself.

"That blow took me by surprise, I didn't think him would have that much force."

Yes, of course, by surprise. I beat you in a good way.

I think he is the type of person who thinks he is superior to others, and I don't like that.

"I'm leaving your team, bye."

Hearing what Sara said, Sandro became concerned. His expression says it all, he's worried and a bit nervous.

"What?! You can't leave, you are my right hand!"

"I was."

Sara leaves and sits at my table.

"I accept, but on the condition that you accept me on your team."

Wow, wow... To be honest, I thought it would take me a little longer to get a team.

I need a team to achieve my goal.

She looks good, so no problem.

"Team...? Okay… Sure, no problem."

"How many adventurers are on your team?"

Sorry, but it's just the two of us.

"Let me count ..."

I start counting on my fingers.

"If we count ... But with the sum of ... But if we also consider ... It's just the two of us."

A little laugh comes out of me, but apparently Sara didn't like my joke.

"Is that okay? I have written the spells in my house, you must accompany me."

A girl's house ... She barely knows me and she already invites me to her house... It reminds me of high school, the girls always invited me to their houses. "My parents will not be home today. Do you want to go to my house?" Of course, I always rejected them. I am not a sexual depraved, I will not take advantage of any girl.

I can accept this time, because she is going to help me.

"Of course."

I take the bags with money.

"Let's go."

We are about to leave the guild, but Sandro speaks to me. He wants to fight again.

"Dwarf! You took me carelessly! I challenge you to a fight!"

I am quite tall, I am not a dwarf. Sandro is only a little taller than me. He beats me by about 5 centimeters.

"No thanks, I have unfinished business."

I don't want to have problems with anyone.

Sara and I are leaving the guild and Sandro clenches his fists hard.

"Damn dwarf!"- He said angrily.

•

•

(Pov- Sandro.)

I have always been considered a prodigy ... I am one of the few who is capable of defeating a demon ... It took me a lot of work and effort to obtain the strength that I have ... Years of training ... So much time making achievements to become a great adventurer ... And now a stupid cute boy is coming to ruin everything.

Sara is the only girl who did not fall in love with me. She was the only smart girl on my team ... The only one on my team that was worth it ... And that idiot stole her from me! Who does he think he is?! She will be sorry!

•

•

(Pov- Daniel.)

Sara and I walked through town. The town is really nice. It smells good and people seem friendly.

Ah... Starting a new life is a good idea.

I will miss Cris and Valeria, but I must leave my old life behind.

Sonia, my ex girlfriend, she will be the only one I won't miss ... Because she cheated on me?! What did I do wrong?! And why did she cheat on me with that idiot ?! Ahhhhhh! Just remembering that fills me with fury!

But I must leave that behind and forget everything.

I'll make new friends here ... But not girlfriend.

I won't get a girlfriend ... And if any girl falls in love with me, I will reject her immediately.

"I can't believe you have all types of magic, but only know three spells."

"It is a long story."

"Can you tell me?"

"I'll tell you about it some day."

Maybe… If I don't die, I'll tell you ... It is most likely that I will die in this world... And I do not say it because I want to die, but because I feel that I will die.

I was already prepared to die... I do not fear of death.

•

•

We stop in front of a small one-story house, it's pink, my favorite color.

"I live here."

It is a nice house. It has a small garden with flowers ... It is really cute.

"Nice house."

"Thank you."

She's very young. Will she live with her parents or grandparents?

I get curiosity

"Do you live with your parents?"

"I abandoned my parents three years ago. I live alone."

Wow, wow... I didn't expect that answer ... She says it with a cold tone, and that makes me a little angry ... I don't have parents, they died ... But I cannot express my anger, I cannot judge a person for their actions without knowing the context.

"I-I'm sorry..."

"Don't worry, let's go inside."

We went into her house. Her house is like a library, there are many books on shelves and on the floor. It seems like she's a very smart girl ... I like it. I like smart girls.

"Wait."

Sara picks up a black book that was on a table and gives it to me.

"Here they are. There are 113 spells that I have written down."

Wow, wow... So few? Well, that's a lot, but I thought she'd have more.

I admit that I am a bit disappointed.

"Wow, wow... Only those? I thought you would have thousands."

"Some spells are known only to a few people."

"Why?"

"You're a bit ignorant ... Royalty and nobles know many spells that we commoners are not allowed to know."

Sara explained to me that there are thousands of spells, but she only keeps the spells that are most useful or easy to learn. It would be useless to save spells that would be impossible to learn.

Nobles know more spells, but she has never had a chance to learn more about those spells. She must know the name of the spell, what it is for, and how to learn it.

... Ah... I didn't want to be involved with snooty rich people, but I have to.

I guess I'll have to make noble friends.

"Wow, wow... I see."

I open the book and I don't understand the writing.

Ah... I need to learn the writing.

"Could you read them to me? I don't know how to read."

"C-can't you read?"- She said confused.

My smartphone starts to vibrate and I take it out. I got a notification.

"A notification from the "Tutorial" app?"

I open it.

"To save spells, you just have to take a photo of the spell and it will automatically be saved ... Great, this will make things easier for me!"- I say excited.

Sara looks at me confused, apparently, she finds my smartphone curious and interesting.

"What is that?"

"It's a smartphone."

"Smartphone?"

It is difficult to explain... Then I explain it to her.

"I'll explain what it is later."

I open the camera app and start taking photos.

"What are you doing?"

"I am taking photos of the book."

"Photos?"

She doesn't know what a photo is? This world is a bit ignorant.

I open the gallery and show her a photo.

"This is a photo."

"Is it like a painting?"

"I guess something like that."

I take a photo of all the spells.

"Well, I think they were saved."

A new application appears called: "Spells".

Thank you, god! This will make everything easier for me!

"Great!"- I say excited.

I open it and many spells are there. They are arranged in alphabetical order and next to each spell there is a different color.

I guess the color means the type of magic.

Now comes the most important test.

"What is the hardest spell to learn or do? I want to check something."

She thinks for a couple of seconds.

"The one called: "Bolflou" ... Well, I guess, it's the spell that took me the longest to learn."

It sounds weird... Will it be a powerful spell?

"What does it do?"

"When using the spell, a sphere of fire comes out of your mouth."

Sounds basic ... Is it at least powerful?

"Is it powerful?"

"Against wild beasts it works well."

So it is powerful.

"I will try! Bol...!"

She covers my mouth with her right hand and I blush ... This is a bit awkward ... But her hands are soft and they smell good.

"Not here, outside! You are a very weird person, so I don't want you to use spells in my house!"

I don't know if being considered weird is good or bad.

"A-alright."- I say nervous.

•

•

(Pov- God.)

Daniel... He has a lot of potential, but... Why did the supreme God force me to send him to that world? I know that Daniel has a beautiful soul ... It is the most perfect soul, but ... That world needed a more experienced warrior ... I hope everything goes well.

"Daniel, you made a mistake when you faced that demon without preparing yourself, but everything went well ... You were very lucky."

If the supreme God forced me to send you to that world, it means that you are important to the future of all worlds ... I trust you, Daniel.

"But… Why does that boy remind me of Kei Molfer so much? I must investigate further."

•

•

(Pov- Daniel.)

After leaving the town and walking away a bit, we stopped a few meters from some trees.

"Try it. It took me five months to learn it, you must have a lot ..."

I interrupt her with my words.

"Bolflou!"

A small ball of fire the size of a tennis ball comes out of my mouth and hits a tree. The sphere of fire makes a hole in the tree. It really is very powerful.

Sara is very surprised and I jump for joy. I can use spells without training! Thank you, god! I have the natural talent to learn spells like the cliche isekai protagonists!

"What?!"- She said scared and surprised.

"I did!"- I say smiling and excited.

"B-But... How is that possible?! You did it on the first try, it's awesome!"- She said excited and surprised.

"I think I'm a prodigy. A gifted boy. Fufu."- I say smiling.

And in various ways ... I am handsome, somewhat intelligent, and I have it big ... W-well, that last thing is not important ... And I don't say that to brag. I hate conceited people.

"Great..."

Sara smiles at me.

"You surprise me... And a lot of it."

I look at the sky, it's already getting dark ... I guess I can rent a house with the money I have.

"It is already getting dark. Do you know of a place where I can sleep?"

"You can sleep at my house if you want."

I'm going to sleep in a girl's house ... It makes me a little sorry, but I'll accept.

"Thank you very much. I appreciate it."

"Don't thank me, anyway, we're friends, aren't we? We must help each other."- She said smiling.

I really like her ... I trust her a lot.

"Yes, we are."- I say smiling.

She blushes and turns to look away.

I sigh and close my eyes ... I almost blew it. I don't want her to fall in love with me ... I no longer believe in love.

She is no exception ... If she falls in love with me, I will reject her without hesitation.

•

•

We go back to her house and I put the bags of coins next to me.

I know what I'll do with the money.

I will do what I always dreamed of doing.

"Sara, are there poor people in town?"

"No, we're all adventurers here, so there's always work."

"Is there a poor area that you know of?"

"Next to the castle there is a town, most of the inhabitants are very poor. Why?"

"I will give them all my money."

"All?!"- Said surprised.

Her reaction is very normal. I'm sure she's thinking I'm crazy or something... I don't need so much money ... And I want to pay God for this new lease of life. How do I pay him? Being a good person as always.

"I really only need about 100 gold coins, I don't need much."

"Anyone with that money would spend it on useless things, but you're going to give your money to the poor. You have my respect."

I was always poor ... I know what it feels like to be hungry ... So I want to help.

"Thank you."

I lie down on the floor... I am used to sleeping uncomfortable.

"Goodnight."- I say as I settle on the floor.

"Goodnight."- Said Sara.

•

•

(Pov- Sara.)

(One hour later.)

I watch Daniel sleep ... He's crying... He cries in his sleep.

"Daniel is very good ... He is different from the others... And cries at night ... What kind of life has he had? Why does it seem that he is ignorant? He really is mysterious."

Maybe ... is he alone? Maybe he has no friends or family... Loneliness can make people suffer.

I lay down next to him ... Maybe a little body heat will calm him down ... Huh?! D-Daniel hugged me ... Is he awake?! I don't want to lose my virginity to rape! Why did I trust him ?!

"Grandmother..."

Huh?

"Grandmother... I miss you..."

... He is still asleep... He is dreaming... I misunderstood him.

"Grandmother?"

I see... Daniel is suffering because he misses his grandmother ... His hug is because he misses hugging his grandmother.

... Daniel is not a pervert ... He's a good boy ... He doesn't try to look like it, he's a good boy ... I can trust him.

He is very different from the Sandro stalker.

Choosing Daniel was a good decision.

•

•

(Pov- Daniel.)

(The next morning.)

Sara tries to wake me up, she seems very nervous.

"Daniel, they're looking for you!"

I wake up and yawn. It's very early, I want to sleep a little more.

"Eh? What's happening?"- I say confused.

"They are looking for you!"

I get up and yawn ... They look for me? How strange.

"Me? Who is looking for me?"

"He is a servant of the King!"

A servant ... To be honest, I want to get some more sleep ... I'm a bit lazy, I inherited that from my father ... Or so my grandmother once told me.

"Is it important?"

"Sure!"

She seems very nervous ... I must go out.

•

•

I leave the house and see the servant screaming.

"I'm looking for the adventurer who is capable of using all types of magic !!"

"How lazy. Should I go?"- I say with a tired tone.

"Of course!"- Sara said nervously.

"Okay."

I turn to him and stretch my arms.

"Hey, it's me!"

The servant turns to see me.

"You are?"

Everyone starts supporting me ... Well, all women... Most of the people who support me are girls.

"It's him, he's our hero!"

"He is very powerful!"

Wow, wow... They support me... Thank you… They even called me "hero" ... It feels good.

The servant looks at me in amazement.

"Incredible. The King wants to meet you, you must come with us."

A king... Well, this is something I had planned to say. I want to check something.

"Obligated?"

"Yes, it is an order from the King."

I figured... Tyranny.

"Then I won't go."

Everyone is frozen with my answer. The servant looks at me confused and nervous.

"W-what did you say?"

"He cannot force me to go. I will only go if the King says: "Please, can you come?" Understood?"

"The King would never say that!"

Never... I was hoping to meet a good and kind King ... But I'm sure he will be a fat, spoiled King. The typical person who believes himself superior to others, simply because he belongs to an important family or because he is rich.

"It's the problem with people like him, they are very proud."

"I'm sorry, but you must come with us."

"I don't want to."

"Lady Cristal, help me!"

A woman flies in, circles over us, lands, and stands in front of me. The woman is tall, wears a white dress and has long white hair.

"I, as head wizard, order you to come with us or I will have to take you by force."

Great! She was flying... She made unnecessary turns in the air... She was trying to intimidate me ... I will have to do the same.

"Can everyone fly? You are the first I see flying."

Cristal starts laughing as she looks at me with contempt. I don't like that look ... She has no humility at all.

"Hahaha! How funny you are. Of course not, only a few wizards in the world have learned to fly."

"I can fly too."

Cristal starts laughing louder. She doesn't believe me.

"Yes, of course. Prove it to me."

"Arches Nexus!"

I begin to float and slowly rise off the floor. Cristal's eyes almost pop out at how shocked she is.

"He did it!"

I get nervous because I'm getting too far off the floor.

"W-wow, wow... It's a bit difficult... I think it's something like that.

I try to control my flight with my mind and it works. I just have to think about how I want to fly ... It is simpler than it seems.

"Great! I just have to think about how I want to fly!"- I say excited.

I spin through the air and land ... Well, I learned to control the flight ... That was easy... So cliche.

"When I no longer use it, it comes off ... That was amazing!"- I say excited.

She stares at me, she has a pretty funny face. Her eyes are wide open and she won't stop shaking.

"H-how did you do that?"

"It's a secret."- I say winking.

She blushes and looks away.

"Now with more reason you must accompany us. Please, I beg you."

Please? Well, that changes things.

"Wow, wow... You said "please" ..."

I scratch my head. Well, I will accept.

"Okay, anyway, I was going to go to the town next to the castle."

"With all those poor filthy commoners? What will someone like you do in a place like this?"

I hate you.

Do you think you are better than them? That makes me sick.

"I don't like that tone, don't express yourself like that about people."- I say while I look at her with a serious expression.

Cristal looks at me with fear ... Am I really that scary?

"I-I'm sorry!"

Here there is also the typical discrimination of social classes ... I hate that.

"Okay... I'll go give them some money. Wait."

I go into the house and come out with the bags.

"Let's go."

"Have fun, Daniel!"- Said Sara.

I turn to see Sara ... Why is she saying goodbye? I don't want to go alone.

"Don't you want to come?"

"The King wants to meet only you."

"But you're my companion, come on."

Sara's eyes get bright ... Wow, wow... She really wants to go to the castle.

"Thank you, I've always wanted to visit the castle!"

"Get in the carriage, please."- Crystal said.

Very good, you are polite.

I guess she already knows that, if she's not polite to us, I won't go.

We got into a carriage ... It is a classic elegant carriage. It feels comfortable, although the seats are made of wood.

There are no cars in this world ... Will it take a long time to arrive?

"Is it far?"- I asked Sara.

"Not long, it'll take an hour to get there."

Well, the hours are the same in this world, I will not have problems with the schedule.

I take out my smartphone to check the time ... It's early... It is barely dawn.

"It's barely 7 in the morning."

Sara looks at my smartphone curiously.

"Is it a watch too?"

"Yes."

Cristal looks at my smartphone curiously.

"May I."

Cristal tries to take my smartphone, but I put it away. This is wrong. You should say: "Can I borrow your smartphone?"

Well, even if she said that, I wouldn't lend it to her.

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

"Tell me, what is it?"

"Like I told you, it's secret."

I must not tell her anything, she could try to steal it.

•

•

(One hour later.)

We get to the poor town and it really looks bad. The houses are made of earth and few are those that are made of wood. The kids wear torn clothes and it smells awful.

It looks really ugly ... I feel sorry... I lived almost the same, only I lived a little better than them.

"I'll come down here, give them the money, and we'll go with the King."

The carriage stops and I get off with the bags.

I feel like I should do this, and if I feel it, I should do it.

I always wanted to do this. Give money to the poor ... But I was poor too, so I could never do it. I only did it a couple of times, but I fed the homeless people ... And two homeless people threw away the food I gave them, because they wanted money to buy alcohol ... That infuriated me, and I promised myself never to drink alcohol.

"I'll do my good deed for the day."

I arrive at the town and I see children playing and women doing laundry ... It sounds a bit macho, but I only see women washing and children playing. I don't see men.

"Good morning, Christmas was early !!"- I yelled for everyone to hear me.

I don't think Christmas exists in this world ... I think I was silly.

Everyone looks at me strangely.

"I see you are poor, so I am here to help you a little!"

Some women approach me.

"Will you help us?"

"How?"

Wow, wow... I hardly realize it, but the women of this world are beautiful ... Will it be a feature of this world?

"Yes! Call everyone in town, please !!"

•

•

A few minutes later, the whole town is assembled. No grown men are in town.

What happened to them? Did everyone abandon their family?

"Are they just children and women?"- I asked confused.

"Our husbands are at the castle, working."

They work in the castle ... I don't know the King, but I already hate him.

"And I see that they are not paid well ... They are rich, but they don't pay well ... That courage."- I say a little angry.

I open the bag.

"I'll give each family a handful of coins. I will distribute it in equal parts."

They all look at me in amazement and I smile at them.

"Get in line, please."

Most women blush ... Even little girls ... Wow, wow... That seems uncomfortable to me.

"T-thank you!"- All nervous women say.

•

•

(10 minutes later.)

Ready. I am finished.

I feel really good... I did my good deed for the day.

Well... I also use some money, so I saved a little for myself.

"And a fist for me. That's all."

Some women are crying ... Wow, wow... I feel good... I made several families happy.

"Thank you very much!"- They all say.

They thanked me ... I like them... I like people who are grateful.

"You're welcome."- I say smiling.

I get in the carriage ... Well, let's go with the useless and surely fat King.

"We can go now."

"I can tell you are a good person."- Crystal said.

Am I so? I like to think that yes, I am ... Contrary to you.

Don't try to be nice to me. You are a woman who discriminates against people, and I hate you a little.

I'm going to thank you, but I'm only doing it out of education.

"Thank you very much."

•

•

A few minutes later, we arrive at the castle and meet the King. The King is a fat man with a large black beard, he is bald and wears a red suit. He is sitting on a throne and 10 guards are next to him, protecting him.

We are in a huge hall, it is the typical main hall of castles.

It looks classy ... And it smells good.

"Hi, Daniel."- Said the King.

Everyone kneels before him except me ... I don't want to do it... I have my reasons.

Sara looks at me nervously.

"D-Daniel, you must kneel."

I must make up an excuse ... I don't want to kneel ... He does not deserve to be admired.

"It makes me lazy to do it. Excuse me, what do you want from me ?!"

I seem disrespectful, but I want to go now.

"I just wanted to meet you. What family do you come from?"- Said the King.

Family...? I suppose noble families have some prestige.

"I'm a commoner who can't even read, with that I answer everything."

He doesn't believe me. It shows by his expression.

"A commoner in those clothes?"

Wow, wow... Can't we commoners wear these clothes? Is it prohibited?

"Doesn't being a commoner give me the right to dress well?"

The King starts laughing ... His laugh is somewhat annoying ... He laughs too hard.

"Hahaha! You're right! I like you very well!"

I don't like him... And that's weird ... I feel like I should get away from him.

"Is that everything? Sorry, but I have unfinished business."

"Don't you want breakfast?"

"No, thanks."

Sara gets more nervous ... Did I say something wrong?

"D-Daniel, no one should reject the King."

I see... Now I hate him even more.

"Why?"

The King rises from his throne.

"I need you to help me with something. My daughter was kidnapped by some "chicken men" while she was out for a walk and I need you to rescue her."

Huh? That sounds really weird ... I was curious.

"Chicken men? What are chicken men like?"

"You don't know them? They are like giant chickens, but with the size and intelligence of a man."

...

...

What?!

That sounds pretty weird, but great. This world is very weird!

"Oh... That sounds weird ... Aren't they called rooster men?"

"They're called chicken men because it sounds better."

I suppose he's got a point.

"Wow, wow... I see."

"You will help me?"

I think for a few seconds. I must think very well what I will do.

Maybe I should take advantage of this to get more spells.

If I help him, he could teach me some spells.

"Okay, but on the condition that you let me see your spell books."

"Sure, no problem."

Well, that was easy.

"I accept."

"Thank you. The base of the chicken men is in the center of the forest of silence."

Wow, wow... He said thank you ... I think I misjudged him.

"Come on, Sara."

Sara gets up.

"I-it was an honor to meet you, Your Majesty!"- Said nervous.

She says it with a red face and I laugh a little. I'm not making fun, but she looks kind of funny.

"You look funny."

Sara and I are leaving. An adventure awaits us.

But I'm not that stupid. I know this is a test to prove my power. The princess could not be kidnapped so easily. The King knows the location of the base of those chicken men. Why didn't he send more experienced adventurers? I'll play along ... Maybe I am wrong.

•

•

When Daniel and Sara left, Cristal approached the King.

"My King, will you let him see the spells?"

"Don't worry, only my family can use them, and besides ... he can't read!"

The King and Crystal start laughing. They clearly enjoy making fun of others.

•

•

Sara and I walked out of the castle.

Within the territory of the castle, there are houses and other buildings. It is a town for the nobles.

"Your attitude toward a King surprises me."

I think I was a bit rude ... But I couldn't help myself.

"I don't like treating people as if they were better than others."

"I see."

"How powerful are chicken men?"

"They are not as powerful as a demon, but they are difficult to kill, they are very resistant. But don't worry, I have experience killing chicken men. Don't be difficult."

I feel confident... That's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing.

"Okay, let's go."

•

•

Sara and I walked away from the castle. It smells good around, it's completely different from my world. There are trees and animals that I have never seen in my life.

"What is that?"

I point to something that looks like a dog, but with a metal tail.

"It's a breed of dog called "Delana" because they appeared hundreds of years ago out of nowhere. Their tail is made of metal and they are good at detecting enemies. They are very common, did you really not know them?"

"No... This place is amazing."

She stares at me. She's quite interested in me.

"Where do you come from? You are quite weird."

I don't like to lie, but I must. I must not tell anyone the truth.

"I come from a very distant place."

"From the enemy country "Soular"? From Soufla?"

What? Are they names of countries? It sounds pretty weird.

"Soular? Soufla?"- I say confused.

"You don't even know the names of the countries?"

"What country are we in?"

"In "Grenfor" country, the home of great adventurers."

"Sounds weird."

I must change the topic of conversation.

I take out my smartphone and open the map app ... Well, it's not far.

"The forest of silence is near."

"Does it serve as a map too? What a strange device you have. Where did you get it?"

Fuck... Think, Daniel ... Think of something.

"Well … I got it from a very powerful friend."

"Can you present him to me?"

"He's not here anymore, sadly."

"I understand, sorry."

"She thinks he is already dead. Hehe."- I thought that while trying not to laugh.

I see the animals around me, there are birds with small bodies, but with big wings, cats with two heads, green bears, but they are very small. It is an amazing place.

Will there be mermaids and other fantasy beings? I already want to find out.

"I would like very much to be in this place."

I open the spell app and read them. I need to memorize them.

One of the spells catches my attention.

"Wow, wow... "Sun arrow". It sounds interesting."

I touch the spell and a message opens.

"This spell is used to appear a bow that creates magic arrows ... Is it a good spell, Sara?"

Sara watches me with bright eyes and gets too close to me.

Shit, she is very beautiful and smells good. I get a bit red from being so close to her. Hope she does not notice.

"Does your smartphone tell you what spells are for ?! Incredible!"- She said excited.

It's definitely amazing ... Thank you, God.

God, I thought you were only going to help a bit, but this is a big help.

... Yes, the final enemy will definitely be very difficult to defeat.

We get to the forest and everything looks calm.

"It looks like a normal forest, I thought we'd meet weird animals."

"Wait."

Sara clasps her hands and closes her eyes.

"Search!"

She stands still for a few seconds and opens her eyes.

"I found them, they are close."

"What is that spell for?"

"It allows me to see beyond my sight."

That doesn't tell me much, but I think I understand a bit.

"Wow, wow... Sword Dex!"

A sword appears in my hands.

"Sword Dex?! I heard about it, it's a very powerful sword... Although I thought it was a simple ... Nothing, forget what I said. That is a very powerful sword!"

"No wonder I defeated the black demon so easily."

We go into the forest and find the base.

"There they are."

They are men with beaks instead of mouths. Their bodies are surrounded by feathers and they appear very strong.

Chicken men wear pants and that made me laugh a lot because they look so ridiculous and funny.

"They wear pants ?! Hahahaha! A chicken with pants!"

Sara covers my mouth and looks at me angrily ... Sorry, I made a lot of noise.

"Silence, look."

She points her index finger at a girl trapped in a cage.

"What do they want with the princess?"

The princess is a little girl, she is cute, she has long green hair, she wears a pink dress and she looks very sad.

"It could be that they want a reward in exchange for the princess."- Said Sara.

That is the logical thing to do.

"Are we attacking already?"

"Sun arrow".

A red bow appears on Sara's right hand.

"We will attack."

We came out of our hiding place ... Well, I have to, they are evil.

"Muslar asio!"

The chicken men see us and get defensive.

... Didn't they hear me? That's too convenient ... Maybe it is a test.

"Adventurers!"

The chicken men attack us with their swords and throw feathers at us.

"Eh?"

I dodge the feathers.

"Are feathers dangerous?"

"They are very sharp, don't let them touch you!"

"Arches Nexus!"

I take a chicken man by the right arm and start to fly. After getting quite off the ground, I stop.

"I'll let you go and you will die!"

... I waited a few seconds. He's just hitting me with his fist ... He is not admitting that this is a test... I don't think it's a test and chicken men just have a bad ear.

"I'm sorry... Now!"

I let go of the chicken man.

"AHH!!!!"- He screamed scared.

The chicken man falls to the ground very hard. That must have hurt.

"I knew his feathers wouldn't work with such a large body."

... Ah... What a beautiful view. From this height I can see the whole forest ... In my world there are not so many forests ... A world with highly advanced technology can be good, but it can also be bad.

I land and there are only two chicken men left. Two chicken men are on the ground with red arrows on their bodies.

"Wow, wow... Sara, you beat two by yourself."

She is strong... She will be of great help.

The chicken men are watching us with fear. They are shaking ... They are definitely giant chickens.

"We give up!"- They say scared.

The chicken men drop to the ground and start begging for their lives.

"That was quick."- I say relieved.

The princess looks at us in surprise.

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

My strength and my sword disappear.

"Hello little girl, we're here for you."

The chicken men open the cage and the princess comes out.

"Sorry!"- They say sorry.

The chicken men apologize to the princess, even the chicken men are crying.

"Don't worry, I forgive you."- Said the princess.

The princess smiles very sweetly. I swear, for a moment, I saw a light come out of the princess. She is a very good and sweet girl, and I like that. She is too pure. I swear to protect that smile.

We left the forest with the chicken men.

This was not a prepared test.

"It was fast... Weren't there more adventurers capable of doing this job?"

"I think the King just wanted to meet you and test your power."- Said Sara.

"The rest of the chicken men we leave in the forest, is that okay?"

"I've already checked the bodies, they're dead."

"Dead? They were evil, so we did the right thing, right?"

I worry for a few moments, I had murdered someone again. I feel like I'm turning into a murderer. I knew this was going to happen, but ... I feel weird.

I look down and I get a little sad.

"Of course we did the right thing."- Said Sara.

Yes... I know... Maybe.

•

•

Along the way I reflected on my actions. God gave me a mission and I must fulfill it. God gave me permission to be rude, I guess that means that I could be mean. If I must become an assassin to fulfill my mission ... I guess I don't have a choice...

We arrived with the King ... It was an easy job ... I hope he does his part.

"Father!"

"Daughter!"

The two embrace... How sweet... That reminds me... of my father... I could imagine my father hugging me for a few seconds ... He was identical to me ... When I see myself in the mirror, I can't help but remember ... Physically, I am like my father ... And it makes me happy.

"Thank you very much, adventurer!"- Said the King.

"Do your part."

The King hands me a red spell book.

"You can have it for a day and then give it back to me."

"I don't need it that long, wait."

I take out my smartphone and start taking photos of the spells.

•

•

(A minute later.)

I turn the page over and the page is blank.

"Eh?"

I start looking for spells, but the other pages in the book are blank.

"The other sheets are blank."

The King can't stand curiosity and snatches my smartphone from me.

"What's this?!"

"Hey, that's mine!"

I snatch my smartphone from him and put it away. I don't care that you are the King, don't take my smartphone away from me again, you fat idiot... Fuck... I'm acting weird.

The King looks at me with an angry expression.

"It's a secret, I'm sorry ... This book only has 10 spell sheets. Why are the others blank?"

"You are only allowed to see that book, the others are secret."

"Okay, thank you..."

I look down and smile.

"That's something..."

I am making progress in a very short time... Perfect.

We left the castle and Sara and I got into the carriage.

"Well, at least I learned some spells."

Sara seems not to contain her emotion, she comes up to me and yells at me.

"We met the King and the princess !!"

"That's not that important."

A girl enters the carriage. The girl is wearing a maid uniform.

"Eh?"

"Hi, Daniel. The King sends you the following message: "Thank you for saving my daughter. I found that you are a very powerful adventurer, so I want you to be one of my bodyguards and come live in my castle"."

Did the King say: "Thank you"? Hearing that surprised me and I was thinking for a few seconds.

I still have three or four years to learn spells and learn to fight better. But if I stay as a bodyguard, I won't have as many adventures as I want.

I scratch my head.

"I don't want to, thank you."

Sara starts pulling me and yells at me.

"Daniel, you can live in luxury !!"

"You should know by now that I don't care about money. I want to have adventures, and being next to a King can be boring."

The girl gets out and we go.

"You rejected the King ... You are amazing."

"It's not that big a deal either."

"Then… What will you do now?"

"I'll go to the guild, have breakfast, and do a mission."

"Don't you want to get more companions?"

It's true, I need companions ... I want strong and kind companions.

"I suppose so, then we'll get it. I just hope Sandro doesn't pick a fight with me."

"I think he will ask you for a fight."

"He's kind of cocky and annoying, I think I'll take his fight."

•

•

(One hour later.)

During the trip, Sara told me how strong Sandro is. Simply put, he is one of the strongest adventurers in the country. Hearing that filled me with doubts. Why did I defeat him in one blow? It really doesn't make sense.

We reached the town and got out of the carriage.

"Thank you!"

We head to the guild and the adventurers still see me weird. I compare my clothes with the clothes of the adventurers. My clothes are very different from theirs, so I think they look strange to me because of my clothes.

"Where can I buy new clothes? I think that, if I keep wearing these clothes, people will continue to see me as weird."

"Sure, in those clothes you look like a noble."

Sara points to a store.

"They sell clothes there."

I take a few coins out of my pants.

"Is this enough for my clothes?"

"Of course."

We enter the store and a girl welcomes us. She is disheveled and she is very pretty. She has long pink hair and pink eyes. Her eyes are beautiful.

"Welcome. What kind of clothes are they looking for?"

"We want something that looks good on him."

The girl watches me.

"A handsome boy... Mmm... I have something perfect for you."

The girl grabs a pair of black pants, a white shirt and a black vest.

"This would look perfect on you."

I take the clothes.

"Try on clothes."

I go into the fitting room and put on the clothes ... Basic design, but I like ... Although the shirt is too tight, but I think that is how it is used.

"This feels comfortable."

I come out of the fitting room.

"Do I look good?"

"Yeah, you look better dressed like that."

"I think the same as the lady."

"Then I'll take it... I'll take three of the same changes, please."

•

•

After buying the clothes, we left the store.

"Now I am comfortable."

"Let's leave your clothes at my house and go to the guild."

"Of course."

Ah... I will like this world very much.

Cris, Valeria, I will miss you.

Sonia... I hope to get over you soon.
