Humans against demons.
CHAPTER 3
Sara and I walked through town. People turn to see me with curiosity and amazement ... I have to get used to this ... It feels weird... I don't dislike it, but I don't like it either ... I feel a little uncomfortable.
And, now that I realize it, the black demon was weird ... He looked good... Maybe Sara knows something about it.
"Sara, were you here when the black demon arrived?"
"Yes. Why?"
"When I met him he didn't look evil, he even helped me when I got to town. Are they really evil? What was he doing here?"
I must not judge people by their appearance. I must investigate first to find out the true intentions of the demons.
"Yes, they are evil. He came looking for a rock a week ago. When he got tired of searching, he just stayed in town, no one knows why."
A rock? That's weird... Was he looking for a simple rock? Could it be a magic rock?
"A rock?"
"We don't know what he meant."
It is obvious that he was looking for a rock, but I don't think she knows what kind of rock he was looking for.
Are demons very powerful? Or am I the powerful one...? No... My sword is very powerful ... I guess.
"And are demons really powerful? I was disappointed to beat him so easily."
"There are many demons, some are stronger than others. The black demon was one of the weakest."
Wow, wow... I was very lucky... Or maybe it wasn't luck ... I was too confident when I confronted him ... Maybe God helped me ... I think... Or I was just very lucky to fight a demon that was entrusted.
"Do you know the strongest demon ...? Or have you at least met strong demons?"
"I knew one that easily beat Sandro, but he didn't kill him, I don't know why."
I guess he was very powerful ... I need to be careful.
"By the way, what were you doing on Sandro's team? He seems like a smug and annoyed guy."
"Despite his attitude, he's very strong, that's why I joined his team, even though his constant harassment bothered me."
Damn... I hate harassment... I hate people like Sandro.
"Wow, wow... I see..."
Eh? I see an adventurer hugging and kissing two girls. Seeing that surprised me too much.
Is that normal? This world is weird, maybe it's normal.
"Is that normal?"
"What?"
"For an adventurer to have more than one girlfriend... I think I did not explain myself well ... I mean if it is normal for a man to be with two women at the same time."
"Eh? That is quite normal. Men can have more than two women. Also women can have more than two men."
Wow, wow... Are you serious?! Why?! It sounds quite strange. I would not marry a woman who had a husband ... And I wouldn't marry multiple women either. I prefer... Well, I preferred to marry only one woman ... But, to be honest, I don't want to love again ... I no longer believe in love.
"Is it really normal?"- I say confused.
"Yes. Didn't you know? Isn't it normal in your country or town?"
... Well, I was cheated. It's frowned upon, but some people date two people at the same time ... Although they do it in secret ... Disgusting infidelity.
"Not much to say ... So can a man have 10 wives?"
"Yes."
"Wow, wow... How strange."
It's definitely weird ... Shit, I just realized something ... I am handsome, I have great magical power, and God sent me to this world ... I'm a cliche isekai protagonist! Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. If I am right, I will get only female companions... And they are going to fall in love with me ... Nope! I must avoid that ... If I get female companions, and if they fall in love with me, they are going to ask me to go out with them... If that happens, I will reject them immediately ... Sorry, but I prefer to be alone.

After leaving my clothes, we headed to the guild.
As we walk, two adventurers walk beside us and I hear them talking.
"King Finder still won't accept?"
"No, and the other kings seem to be plotting something against him."
"I wish the kings of Grenfor were united. Those monsters were already dead."
I'm curious what they say ... The kings? Is there more than one King? That's weird.
"I thought there was only one King. How many kings are there in the country?"
"There are four kingdoms around the country. We are governed by King Freis."
Thanks for the help, Sara.
"Wow, wow... I see."
•
•
We enter the guild and the adventurers are watching us. I am ashamed to be seen so much and I blush.
"I feel a little embarrassed."
We sit at a table and a waitress comes with us.
"Do you want to order?"
Ah... It smells delicious... I'm so hungry.
"I want a plate of your best food and water."
"I want some fire beef and beer."- Said Sara.
Beer? Wow, wow.
Fire beef? Is it a cow made of fire or something like that?
We pay her and the waitress leaves.
"Fire beef?"- I say confused.
"They are cows that live in the red zone, their meat is expensive, but it is delicious."
"Red zone? What is that?"
"It's an area where everything is surrounded by fire and lava. It is difficult to be there."
Sounds cool, but dangerous ... When I feel ready, I will go.
I need to become strong.
"I have to visit it someday."
The waitress returns with our food.
My plate of food has meat and vegetables. Sara's plate of food has juicy meat, and next to the plate, the waitress places a large glass of beer.
"Thank you."- We both say.
The waitress leaves and we begin to eat.
I see how Sara starts to drink her beer ... Is that normal too? Is Sara of legal age? She doesn't look it.
"Aren't you a little young to be drinking beer? How old are you?"
"I am 15 years old."
Can minors drink ?! Laws are missing in this world!
"Yes, you are very young."
We continued eating. Meat in this world is very delicious.
"The meat in this place is delicious ... So how will we get companions?"
"We'll put up a request sign. With your magic power, you will be able to attract very strong adventurers."
Sometimes the strongest are the most conceited and annoying. I want to have good and kind companions.
"That sounds good. I just hope I don't have annoying companions."
I want to have male companions to avoid the cliché of having only female companions... But if I only attract strong women, I will accept them, because I need to get all the help I can.
•
•
We finish eating and Sara takes out a piece of paper, a small transparent bottle with covered black ink, and a white pen from the pockets on her skirt.
Did she have that all the time? That's also a bit weird ... Why is everyone in this place weird? No... I think I'm the weirdo.
"Did you have that all the time?"
"Yeah, you never know when you'll need it. I also have bandages and a razor."
She is a very clever girl ... I like her.
"How cautious ... It seems awkward though. Wouldn't it be better to use a bag?"
"I prefer to use my pockets."
Sara starts writing... I must learn to read ... No, it is not necessary... Anyway, I'm going to die in a couple of years.
That's one of the reasons I don't want to fall in love. I will die at the end of my adventure. I will die fighting ... Or if I win, I'm going to kill myself.
To be honest ... I want to die ... God exists, that means there is paradise. I will see my grandmother again when I die.
"Wait... I'm done."
She shows it to me, they are rare letters.
"Is that okay?"
"Remember, I can't read."
"I'm sorry. Here it says: "Daniel Conde and Sara Churs need companions, please meet with them for an interview"."
It sounds good... Wait... Churs?
"Churs?"
"It's my last name."
I get a laugh, it's a pretty funny last name.
Sara looks at me with a red face ... She seems nervous and embarrassed ... Shit, now I feel bad.
"D-does my last name make you laugh?"- Said nervous.
"It just sounds weird. I am sorry."
Although "Conde" is also a bit weird ... Are there more rare last names in this world?
Sara gets up and puts the poster on the wall.
"Now we wait."

•
"🎶Ta... Ta... Tatatata ... Nanana ... Nenanana ... Sapan ... Cheese... Beans... Rice... Death to the NTR.🎶"
Ah... Why is nobody coming?
"🎶 After birth, people live in fear. How will I survive in this world without opportunities? Unemployment, poverty, corruption and violence. World peace will never be achieved. The third world war ruined our country. The United States disappeared and Japan conquered us. Russia and Japan now own Mexico and our life changed. Education improved, but poverty increased ...🎶"
"Eh? You sing nice, but ... What is Mexico, Japan and Russia?"
"They are... They are... Mmm... How do I explain it to you ...? They are small villages. There was a village called "United States". An artificial intelligence... I-I mean ... An evil monster took over the United States."
In reality, a mad scientist created an artificial intelligence and took over the United States.
"That monster attacked Russia and Japan, killing hundreds of thousands of people."
"So many?!"
"I was exaggerating ... It only killed 40 people."
I think it was millions ... The exact figure was never given.
"The monster replaced the leader of the United States with a ... monster."
The president of the United States and many important politicians were replaced by robots.
"And the leader declared war on Japan and Russia ... Why? The monster wanted to know more about human behavior during a real war ... Hundreds of people died in that war."
Millions of humans died in the war ... Including my great grandparents.
"Mexico was an ally of the United States."
In fact, Mexico was not on either side at first, but the president was replaced by a robot and forced the Mexicans to participate in the war and Mexico became an ally of the United States.
"Japan, along with Russia, created a bomb n... A very powerful magic bomb."
A nuclear bomb ... The most powerful that has ever existed.
"It was launched in the United States... And the United States disappeared forever."
Literally the entire country disappeared, killing every human who was in that country.
They managed to eliminate that artificial intelligence, but at great cost.
Northern Mexico and southern Canada were also affected.
Mexico gave up and Russia and Japan conquered us.
There were enormous changes in the country ... A large number of foreigners began to live in Mexico.
Russia and Japan cleaned up nuclear waste and began to improve the country. Obviously, none of that was free. All the minerals, oil, raw materials, all that was left to Russia and Japan.
The war left us poor.
I admit that after the Japanese and Russians conquered us, the country began to improve ... Well, it had been more than 50 years since the war and it was not our fault, an artificial intelligence planned the whole war. That was discovered a year before the disappearance of the United States thanks to a recording that artificial intelligence sent to the president of Russia.
Millions of Mexicans were victims of the war and Japan and Russia helped us to move forward.
There were many changes ... First, the Mexicans adopted the customs of the Japanese and Russians, because more than 89% of the Mexicans had died and Japan and Russia sent citizens of their countries so that Mexico would continue to exist.
Basically, we became Japanese and Russian.
My grandparents were orphaned and adopted by Japanese.
As I am 100% Mexican, despite having only one last name, everyone calls me by my first name and not by my last name.
So many customs and traditions ... So many deaths ... All because of an artificial intelligence ... Ah... Technology can be both a blessing and a curse.
•
•
A few minutes pass and Sandro sits at our table ... Did he come to bother again?
"I heard you're looking for companions. I will give you the privilege of joining my team."
Don't think you're so important.
"Thanks for the offer, but no. Good bye."
"Are you sure? Look over there."
He points his index finger at some girls. The girls are very beautiful ... With that you want to convince me? Pathetic.
"Those are my companions, if you join my team, I will share all those beauties with you."
"They're cute, but I can't bear to be around you. Good bye."
"Whatever. Good bye."
Sandro gets up and leaves ... That was easy.
Sandro doesn't seem strong ... But I can't judge someone by their appearance, that's a big mistake. Novels and animes have taught me never to judge someone by their appearance, that's a big mistake.
"Is he really strong?"
"He doesn't look it, but he does."
A girl who looks younger than us sits at our table. The girl is blonde and has long hair, has blue eyes and is little, I would estimate her to be about 1:40 or 1:45 meters tall. She wears a green dress with an apple logo on it. She looks like a 12-year-old girl.
"Hello, my name is Alex and I would like to join your team."
I have a feeling that she will be the loli of the team.
"Are you an adventurer? How old are you?"- Said Sara.
"I am 16 years old. Take my card."
She looks very young.
Alex hands her card to Sara and she reads it.
"You have three types of magic. This is amazing."
"Thank you!"
"Even though you are older than me, you look like a little girl, you have no breasts."
Alex gets a little angry, but she looks very cute angry ... Is sweet.
"Yes, I am flat, but I am very powerful."
While Sara was talking to Alex, doubts arose in my mind about the types of magic.
"I don't understand about the types of magic, can you explain it to me?"
"D-don't you know the types of magic?"- Alex said confused.
"I-I don't know anything about magic, I'm ignorant on the subject."- I say nervous.
"T-there are 10 types of magic: Light, Dark, Water, Fire, Ground, Wind, Summon, Fairy, Demon, and Angel."- Said Sara.
"Fairy, demon, and angel?"
Are there fairies? Demons and angels exist, for obvious reasons, but do fairies exist? Great!
"They are the most powerful types of magic, that even you have. If you learn to control your magic perfectly, you will be the most powerful adventurer in the world."
Most powerful... I need to be ... I need to learn to better control my magic.
"Daniel is amazing!"
Alex gets on her knees on the floor.
"Please, let me join your team!"
Well... I don't know how to judge adventurers.
"Sara, you decide."
"She has three types of magic, that's something incredible, we must let her join."
It seems little, but I suppose it is not normal for adventurers to have more than two types of magic.
"Well, welcome."
"Thank you!"- Alex said smiling.
She is very cute... Please, don't fall in love with me, it would be too awkward.
By the way, what kind of magic will Sara have?
"Sara, what kind of magic do you have?"
"I also have three types of magic: Water, Fire, and Ground."
Great, she also has three types of magic. She will be very useful.
"What about you, Alex?"
"I have Wind, Fire and Ground magic."
"What are the most common types of magic?"
"Water, fire and ground are the most common."- Said Sara.
"One last question, do fairies exist?"
"Eh? Sure they exist, some live with royalty."
Great... Will they be small or big?
"Amazing... I already want to see one."- I say excited.
Alex gets up excited.
"Let's go on an adventure!"
It's too early for that. Besides, we must look for more companions.
"But we must seek ..."
Alex looks at me with very tender eyes. I can't say no to those eyes.
"Well, I guess we could go out."
"Won't we look for more companions?"- Said Sara.
"We'll do it later, come on."
We got up and headed for the mission wall ... I want to do an easy mission.
"Sara, are there any interesting ones?"
"There is a job to explore a cave, they say that all the people who have entered have disappeared."
"Sounds dangerous."
"The reward is 20,000 gold coins. 40,000 if we find missing persons alive."
That is too much money.
It sounds like a dangerous mission, but I am sure it is some demon or an animal. I am confident, but I don't know why.
"We will take that mission."
•
•
"Fufu. You took the mission ... I want to see if you can kill a dog, the animal you love the most."
The smile of a little boy.
A very dangerous and important child.
He is observing Daniel through a magic mirror.
"Reikme. Daniel. Kei... I am not satisfied with them ... Daniel, I hope you don't disappoint me. I have been waiting for this for a long time."
•
•
After taking the quest, the three of us left the guild.
"Where is the cave?"
"It's next to the Iris town."
I take out my smartphone and open the map app.
"Pueblo Iris? It's kind of an ugly name."
Alex looks at my smartphone curiously.
"What is that?"
"It's a smartphone, I'll explain what it's for later."
I search the map and find it ... It's too far away.
"It's a bit far."
I remember how fast I was when I was flying ... It will be faster if I go flying.
"But if I'm flying, we'll get there fast."
Alex is too surprised to hear what I said.
"Flying?!"
"Are you sure ?"- Said Sara.
"Sure, no problem. Muslar asio!"
I carry Sara with my arms and she blushes.
"Alex, get on my back."
Alex jumps up and gets on my back.
"This is somewhat embarrassing."- Sara said blushing.
It really is... Just a bit... But it is necessary.
"I say the same."- I say blushing.
Carrying a girl in the arms is very uncomfortable.
"Well, according to the map, we'll get to town if I fly straight. They have to hold on tight to me if they don't want to fall."
All adventurers look at us strangely.
"Arches Nexus!"
I'm flying out of town. I fly at great speed.
This feels amazing!
"AHH!!!!"- Sara screamed scared.
"Incredible!!"- Alex yelled excitedly.
This feels great ... Flying is amazing!
"Next stop, Iris town."- I say smiling.
•
•
In the castle of King Freis.
The King kneels before a woman who is seated on a throne. The woman is tall, has long white hair, and has big breasts. She wears a red dress ... A very beautiful woman.
They are in a library.
"I'm sorry, the adventurer capable of using all types of magic, rejected my offer."
"It was obvious, someone like him doesn't want to be protecting someone all the time. He wants emotions, and I will give them to him."
The woman stands up and spreads a pair of pink wings.
"I think it's time to meet him."- She said smiling.
"Miss Rose, will you go alone?"
"Yes."
A girl opens the door and runs up to them.
"I'll go with you, sister!"
The girl is almost identical to Rose, only she is smaller and flatter. She has no wings.
"Hearing other people's conversations again? You have no remedy ... Well, you will go with me."
"Thank you!"
The two are about to leave the place, but Rose stops before leaving.
"And, Freis ..."
"Yes?"- Freis said.
Rose turns to see Freis.
"Execute the two chicken men, we don't need them anymore."
"Sure!"
And yes, it was all a test done by Rose.

In the town iris.
I land in a small town and everyone is watching us with fear ... Well, anyone would be if they saw a boy fly into a town.
"That was terrifying."- Said Sara.
I put Sara down and she is shaking.
"It was fun!"
Alex gets off my back ... They both have different personalities ... I like that.
"Well, let's go to the cave."
I look around me, the inhabitants of the town are watching us with fear.
"Were they afraid to see me fly?"
"Demons, fairies, and angels can fly. They think you are a demon."- Said Sara.
Do I look like a demon? Are there demons that look human? That is a great and important piece of information.
"Do not be afraid!!"
Alex starts screaming.
"He's not a demon, he's an adventurer !!"
Everyone murmurs ... They distrust us a lot.
"An adventurer who flies? That's impossible."
"He has to be a demon in disguise."
"Or an evil fairy in disguise."
Are fairies evil?
I better walk away, I don't want them to be afraid of me.
I ignore them and walk away.
"He is the only adventurer who is capable of using all types of magic !!"
Everyone is surprised and says the same thing.
"All types of magic ?!"
Sara takes Alex's right ear and we continue walking.
"I think I don't have to use the flight spell so often, they might confuse me."
•
•
Two boys are watching Daniel from afar. They are wearing black hoods, which prevents their faces from showing.
"He's a demon, sister."
"We must kill him, brother."
•
•
We leave the town and see the cave ... It's really huge ... Great.
"Okay, we're here."
I need to know more spells. I must protect myself from dangers.
I take out my smartphone and open the spell app.
"There are many new spells."
Sara looks at my smartphone.
"Do you understand that writing?"
The letters on my smartphone are in my language, so she doesn't understand it.
Well, it's in ... Ah. It is not necessary to explain my language.
"Your writing is different from mine, that's why you don't understand it."
"You can speak the language, but you don't know its writing?"
It is true… I can understand the language of this country... I think God helped me with that.
"I know, I don't understand either."
I see that spells can be sorted by type.
"Wow, wow... That could be useful."
I order them and realize that I have many types, except angel and demon.
And I have two summoning spells ... What can I summon? Maybe I can summon monsters or something like that.
"I have two summoning spells."
"That kind of magic is very rare!"
"Summon something!"
They both seem excited ... I guess that's good.
I read one of the spells and it catches my attention.
"This one looks interesting ... Divine horse, come to me!"
A white circle appears on the floor in front of us and a unicorn appears out of nowhere. The unicorn is white and its horn is red.
That is not a horse.
"How cute!"- They say the two excited.
The two touch and hug him, when suddenly, the unicorn speaks.
"Who summoned me?"
They both get scared and hide behind me.
Just great... I really like this world ... I've gotten used to this world a bit.
"S-spoke?"- They both say scared.
I've already seen chickens wearing pants, nothing surprises me anymore.
"I was the one who summoned you."
"It's been a long time since anyone summoned me, what do you want?"
"I'm sorry, I was just testing the spell."
"If you don't need me, I'll go."
The circle appears again and the unicorn disappears.
"We have to ride that unicorn back to the guild!"- Alex said excitedly.
"I'd rather that than fly again."- Said Sara.
I turn to see her and smile at her.
"You are very scared, you remind me of my grandmother."
Sara blushes ... Shit, I must smile less.
"Your grandmother?"
"Yes, she was a woman who seemed strong, but was quite scared."
I get a little sad and sigh ... It hurts me to remember her.
"There is no time, we must go inside."
I see the Interior of the cave, it is quite dark.
"We need a flashlight."
We enter the cave and I can hardly see anything.
"Okay."
I turn on the flashlight on my smartphone and the girls stare at me in amazement.
"Amazing, that thing can do anything!"- Said Sara.
It is a basic function of smartphones, but they are surprised. I really come from the world of technology.
We start walking and some strange noises are heard.
I better prepare to fight.
"Muslar asio!"
I begin to tremble, I am very afraid, because mysterious noises scare me. The noises are like creaking furniture.
We keep walking, but the two of them get too close to me, I even feel their breath.
"D-don't get so close to me, I'm embarrassed."- I say blushing.
"If Sandro or another adventurer were here, he would not hesitate to touch our breasts taking advantage of the darkness. Now I respect you more."- Said Sara.
I am not a sexual harasser ... And I'm not interested in sex either.
I'm a virgin... I have had several opportunities to lose my virginity, but I have not done it because I want to lose my virginity after getting married.
That's something my grandmother taught me ... Well, she said that I should only have sex with the person that I love with all my heart ... I decided to lose my virginity after getting married for two reasons.
1: If I marry a girl, it means that I love her with all my heart.
2: I am poor. I don't want to ruin my life anymore by being hot. Sonia offered me her body many times, but I always rejected her.
...
...
...
The NTR ... Sex... Oh... I see.
She cheated on me because I didn't want to have sex with her ... Surely "he" did give her what she wanted.
So it's true what they say, sex in a relationship is important.
Ah...
"Wait, I must do something."
I sat down on the floor and sighed.
Sonia... Why didn't you tell me you were hot? !! If you had told me that, I would have accepted your body because I loved you !! Now another boy is desecrating you !! Damn, I'm an idiot !!
"Is Daniel ... crying?"
—... "Daniel..."
The person I love, cheated on me.
The person I love is sleeping with another man.
... Communication is important in a relationship, Sonia !! Why you did not tell me anything?!!
... Ah... That is why I will be a bachelor until the day I die.
"I'm calm now ... Let's go."
•
•
In the guild.
Rose and her sister enter and address Grey.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for Daniel, the adventurer who has all kinds of magic."
Grey is surprised to see Rose's wings. It is not at all common to see fairies in a guild.
"H-he went on a mission, he's not here."
"Could you tell me where he went?"
"He w-went to the cave next to the town Iris."
"Thank you very much."
•
•
(In the cave.)
We keep looking around the cave, there is nothing strange ... This place smells like death, though.
The cave is scary, but that's it, there is nothing strange. I wanted to see undead or vampires, but there is nothing.
"There are no corpses, there is nothing."- Alex said.
It's too quiet ... That means something bad is going to happen. This is a cliché.
"This is weird, I have a bad feeling."- I say with a serious expression.
We continued searching for more than 20 minutes, until we found a man with the head of a dog, eating a human arm. The guy is naked.
It's just too weird... And he is too scary.
This is definitely another world.
"Is that normal?"- I say confused.
"How strange, he's a dog man ... What is he doing in this place?"- Said Sara.
"First chicken men, and now dog men?"
The dog man sees us and his human part disappears, he becomes a giant dog.
This world is scary!
"That's a werewolf!"- I say scared.
They both scream, they are very scared.
"AHHHHH!"- They scream scared ... Why are they yelling ?! Don't they have experience fighting monsters like that? Or is this just as rare for them?
"Bolflou!"
A sphere of fire comes out of my mouth and hits him on the body.
"Sun arrow".
A red bow appears on Sara's right hand.
Sara shoots arrows at his body and the dog man tries to escape.
"My turn!"- Alex said excitedly.
Oh, the fear was temporary for that dog to let his guard down ... Smart.
Alex puts her hands on the floor.
"Ground trap!"
A wall of dirt comes out of the ground in front of the dog man, preventing him from escaping.
"Well done, Alex."
"I give up!"- Said the dog man.
Does he even speak ?!
"Did he speak?!"- I say scared and nervous.
"He's practically a man, so he can speak."
The dog man becomes a man, but still maintains the head of a dog.
"I was hungry and this is my only way to get food, you must understand."
"Your only way? Get a job and buy your food, or also ..."
"Boring!"- He said angrily.
... That reminded me of a homeless man who tried to steal from me once.
The man is returning to his dog form.
"Sword Dex!"
It will hurt me to do so, but it is necessary.
My sword appears in my right hand.
The dog man jumps on me, but I hit him with my sword, splitting the dog man in half.
I love dogs so it hurt to do that.
Some blood falls on my face.
"Disgusting!"
"Well, we fix this, let's go."- Said Sara.
"Shall we take his body?"
"No, the guild receptionist will know we did this mission when she sees our cards."
"Okay."
Besides, I didn't want to take his corpse ... That's disgusting.
•
•
After a few minutes, we left the cave, but two hooded guys were waiting for us.
"I hope you're ready to die, demon!"- They both say.
The two take off their hoods, they are a boy and a girl of about 8 or 10 years old. They have short brown hair, both wear black pants and white shirts.
"We will defeat you!"- They both say.
Even children are adventurous ... Are there no laws in this world?
"I'm sorry, I'm not a demon, and I don't want to fight with you either. Good bye."
"You're not going to escape!"- Said the girl.
The boy extends his right hand.
"Flums!"- Said the boy.
Some rocks come out of his hand and I try to dodge them.
"I don't want to fight!"
Sara and Alex try to help me.
"He's not a demon, if he was, you would already be dead!"- Said Sara.
A rock hits my forehead and I get angry.
"Well, you asked for it."
I extend my right hand.
"Flums!"
A little bigger rocks come out of my hand and I hit them on the forehead.
The two complain of pain and fall to the ground unconscious.
I'm an idiot! I will go to jail!
"I kill them?!"- I say scared and nervous.
Sara checks their bodies.
"They are unconscious."
I sigh in relief. Why would I do that? I am an idiot.
"I feel a bit bad for hitting some children ... Why did they think I was a demon?"
"They probably saw you fly and that's why they thought you were a demon."- Said Sara.
I guess they'll be fine, the blow wasn't that strong. And there is a town nearby, their parents will come for them.
"Well, let's go."
"Summon the unicorn!"- Alex said excitedly.
"Stop!"- Said a girl's voice.
Two girls fly in and stand in front of us.
"I need to talk to you, Daniel."
I see that one of them has a pair of wings.
"Those are ... wings? Are you a fairy?"
The little girl looks at me angrily.
"We are both fairies!"
I see that the little girl has no wings ... Are there fairies without wings?
"And your wings?"
The girl blushes and looks down ... I think I made her feel bad.
"I-I don't have."
Perfect, I just hit two kids and now I made a fairy feel bad. Is today a bad day for me?
"I'm sorry... What do you want to talk to me about?"
She comes closer to me.
"I want to know how you got all kinds of magic. No one can have all kinds of magic. You can even use the spell: "Arches Nexus" of the fairies."
"It's a secret. In about three or four years you will know how I did it."
"You are a demon? An Angel? A fairy?"
"I am a normal human being."
"My interest in you is growing."
"Good, but we have to go."
"Please, come visit me, I live in the castle, I will teach you spells that only fairies know."
"Sure, maybe I'll come visit you, thanks. Divine horse, come to me!"
The circle appears and the unicorn appears.
The two look at the unicorn in surprise and curiosity.
"You again?"
"Please, take my companions to the guild, they will show you the way."
Sara and Alex get on the unicorn.
"Okay."
The unicorn runs away ... Great, he's really fast.
"Th-that was the royal family's special summoning?"
"Is it? The king gave me a book with spells and I think that spell was included."
"But that summoning can only be used by people with royal blood."
"Don't see me, I'm just a commoner. Arches Nexus!"
I start to float.
"Maybe I'll come visit you in a week. Good bye."
I'm flying out of there.
She looks good, but also evil... I have a feeling that I can trust her, but not that much.

"Sister, he is amazing. Will he be the legendary hero our ancestors warned us would be coming?"
"I don't know, there's something weird, but incredible about him ... You told me earlier that you wanted to be an adventurer, right?"
"Yes! Shall we go on an adventure, sister ?!"
"I will not go out, you will go out."

I am flying at great speed over a beautiful green valley.
"I really like this spell ... I think I'll take a walk around the place."- I say smiling.
I need to calm down ... Being cheated on still hurts ... But I must get over it.
•

20 minutes later, I arrive at the guild, and my companions observe me and approach me.
"It was amazing, that unicorn really was fast!"- Alex said excitedly.
"Here."- Said Sara.
She gives me a bag of money.
"It's 7,000 gold coins. It's your part."
"7,000? Who got 6,000?"
"To Alex because she was the least helpful."
"Without Alex's barrier, the dog man would have escaped."
I give my coins to Alex.
"I get 6,000 coins."
"Thank you!"- Alex said smiling.
We exchange bags.
"By the way, we have many adventurers who want to be our companions."
I see that many adventurers surround us ... There are too many of them.
"How lazy."- I say with a low tone.
"To interview."- Sara said smiling.
Sara and I split up the adventurers.
I am interviewing a very tall and fat man.
"And are you good with magic?"
A basic question, but a necessary one.
"What if I'm good?"
He shows me his card.
"I am level 20, as you will see, I am a good adventurer."
Are there levels? Like in video games?
"Do we have levels?"- I say confused.
Alex, who is next to me, shows off her level.
"I'm level 40!"
I take out my card ... It has strange symbols, but I don't understand anything.
"Level?"
I don't understand anything about my card.
"Alex, what level am I?"
"You're level ... 32?!"
Did I climb that much in a short time? Great!
"Wow, wow. And I am new."- I say smiling.

We spent three hours interviewing, some were good, but I didn't like their attitudes, some were bad, but I liked their attitudes. Nobody really stood out. They all only had one type of magic and they were the most common.
"Nothing... I think we just got Alex."
The wingless fairy sits at my table.
"Until it's my turn!"
"Are you part of the guild?"
"I just registered."
She hands me her card and Alex translates for me.
"Liz Grey. She has 13 years-old. Types of magic: fairy and wind."
"A fairy would do us good ... Wait, but why do you want to join? Do you want to watch me?"
"Yes and no, on the one hand, my sister told me to keep an eye on you, but, on the other hand, I always wanted to be an adventurer, that's why I want to join you."
"What do you think, Sara?"
"I don't know, they'll watch you."
I look Liz in the eye, she seems very excited
"Well, you're an honest person, and I like that. Welcome."
"Thank you!"- She said excited.
Besides, she could teach me new spells.
I extend my right hand to her and smile.
"I hope we will be good friends. The main rule is: "Do not fall in love with any member of the team." I prefer to prevent the team from disintegrating because of a romantic fight."
And I also don't want them to fall in love with me.
Liz looks at me flushed ... Shit, I smiled!
"You are very cute."
I blush and turn away.
"T-thank you."
This is a "problem" that I have had since I was little. I am somewhat handsome and that has caused me some problems. When I was in high school, all the girls would come up to me and ask me to smile, because my smile makes girls blush, because, according to them, it makes me look twice as handsome. That's something that has caused me a lot of trouble with jealous guys, so they always hit me. I never defended myself, because I did not want to cause problems for my grandmother.

Two more hours pass and no one interesting shows up.
"I give up!"- I say a little annoyed.
I get up from the table and remove our poster.
"With 4 we are enough!"
The other adventurers leave.
"Daniel, now we need a barracks, a place to meet."- Alex said.
"At Sara's house, obviously."
"In my house? My house is small, it would be awkward to be all together."
"Is there a house for sale around here?"
An adventurer approaches me.
"Nearby someone is selling a very big house, you might be interested."
"Thank you very much."
We left the guild and searched for the house.
"I found it!!"
Alex screams and we meet up with her.
"They sell it for 15,000 gold coins."
I see that the house is very big. It is three stories high.
"I'm surprised that a house that size is sold for so bit money."
"Why do you say so? That price is a scam!"- Said Sara.
"Scam?"
"It's a lot of money, it doesn't suit us."
"Is 15,000 a lot? In 2 days I won 56,000 gold coins, I think we can spend 15,000."
"Now that you mention it, commonly the reward for exploring a cave was 500 to 1,000 gold coins. Why did they offer so much now?"
"Maybe…"
I remember that the adventurers here are very weak, and exploring a cave for a great reward is very tempting.
"Cunning dog."
"What's up?"
"It's obvious, the dog man put in that request, and when the adventurers came in, he ate them."
"Now that you mention it, you're right, but no adventurer was able to defeat him?"
"Perhaps the weak adventurers accepted the mission because they thought it was easy. I've seen several adventurers today and they don't seem very strong."
"Or the dog man was very powerful."- Alex said.
"But we defeated him easily."- Said Sara.
"My sword was able to cut a demon in half, I think thanks to my sword we were able to defeat him."
"Maybe..."
"We'd better get on with the house. Let's put 5,000 each to buy it."
"She won't put any money in ?!"- Alex said while pointing her index finger at Liz.
I walk over to Liz.
"Do you have any money?"
"My sister only gave me money to register."
"Don't worry."

We talk to the owner and buy the house. The house is empty and looks very old.
"It's very empty, we must buy furniture."
I take out my smartphone. I must memorize the spells, I must not waste time.
"What will you do?"- Said Sara.
"I'll see the other spells." I need to learn the spells by heart."
I open the spell app.
"Summoning spells: "Divine horse, come to me" and "Spiris resurrection"... Resurrection?"
Liz is surprised and looks at my smartphone curiously.
"What is that?"
"It's my smartphone, I'll explain later."
I touch the spell and read it.
"Wow, wow... "Spiris resurrection": Allows you to bring someone to life. You just have to think of the person you want to resurrect and say the spell. People can only revive once, if they die again, they can no longer be resurrected."
"Bring to life ?!"- Alex said surprised.
"I heard of that spell, the royal family could use it, but a long time ago they couldn't use it. It's all I know, my sister knows more about royal family spells than I do."
"Your sister?"
I stare at the spell with a serious gaze.
"Will I need the body of the dead to resurrect?"
"I suppose so."
Right now I can't stop thinking about bringing my grandmother to life, but can I resurrect her without her body? Could I resurrect her in this world? I don't lose anything trying.
I extend my right hand, think of my grandmother and say the words loudly.
"Spiris resurrection!"
A white circle appears on the floor in front of us, and a young girl in a white dress appears out of nowhere. The girl has long black hair and has beautiful brown eyes. She is a very beautiful girl ... She is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen.
"Eh? Where am I?"- She said confused.
She is not my grandmother, for obvious reasons ... I guess I made a mistake.
"Was I the wrong word?"
"No, you said it right."- Said Sara.
"I was thinking about my grandmother, but obviously she's not my grandmother."
I look at her, the girl looks a bit like my grandmother ... She really does look like my grandmother! She is a young version of my grandmother!
"Although she does look a bit like her!"- I say surprised and confused.
The girl stares at me and approaches me.
"Dani? Is that really you?"- She said with tears in her eyes.
...
...
What?!
"Are you my grandmother ?!"- I say surprised and very nervous.
