from the beginning

I've lost count of the time I've been in this dungeon, I can only

see the days go by through the small rays of sunlight that come through that small

hole.

This place is worse than hell, a dark place, wherever you look there are

chains embedded with the blood of various people who have been tortured and

killed. This place only has one entrance and one exit, a metal door with a

enormously secure, the only thing I can see clean is the floor because there are no

human remains, when someone dies they take the body away and burn it, I don't know if this is

the whole empire or this person is evil.

Luckily I have been the only one who has survived at least in these 4 years that I have been

here, and I have experienced hell unbearable tortures in this time I have broken bones at

at least 10 times, but I heal quite quickly.

The strangest thing about all this is that I don't remember my name, much less my age

or what I did before I was a slave. I guess that after so many beatings my memories

were left out.

I am a person who pretends to be emotionally strong but who breaks down

quite quickly. I have had dreams of leaving this place and being free, of living my life and

have a family, I suppose a family is the most important thing.

At least twice a day this damned nobleman comes, a rich person with a

high position in the government of the empire, this person tortures me every day and makes me

regret being alive, if only I had the slightest opportunity to

kill him and get out of here I would be very happy, my body has more than 50 scars

small and large, luckily none of them have become infected.

"Hey brat, I see you're feeling lonely, I brought you a friend, haha."

That damn fat guy brought a little girl with cat ears, black hair and

a little fluffy tail. I quickly approached her to see how she was.

She is a shy girl, she doesn't talk much, she tells me.

"Hey girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Reelin and yours?"

"I can't remember my name."

.....

"How did you get here, Reelin?"

Reelin told me that she was from a village south of where we were,

a small village of semi-humans, a village that was surrounded by

Mountain Man and that only had one exit, the rest was forest where

inhabited by monsters and wild animals.

She told me a lot about her sister, who was a former Iron Rank adventurer

but had left because her parents had died and no one could take care of

her. She said that from time to time slavers arrive and kidnap children

from her village to sell them as slaves.

Without a doubt, it was a shameful act for me to have to go to a village

kidnap children and sell them as if they were cattle,

"I want to go back to each one" crying

"Calm down, Relin, don't cry, I promise we'll get out of here"

"You promise, sir"

"Yes, Relin, I promise" he hugs her

During these two weeks that fat guy hadn't come, it seemed strange to me, but

during that time Relin told me stories about her sister when she was

adventurer, all I could do was listen to her and fantasize about one day

being able to do the same, she told me that her sister was very good with the sword and

bow that her sword technique was elegant and fantastic,

Every time I wanted to get out of here and be able to meet that girl and be able to

take Relin with me.

One night a noise coming from behind that door woke me up, some

guards had come in and grabbed Relin and me, taking us away. Relin

grabbed my hand and looked me in the eyes, saying that this was not good. When

we got out, all the streets were in chaos, it looked like there was a war.

The big city, which was huge with beautiful houses and buildings, was on fire

when someone suddenly said to the guards

"That's the merchandise"

"Yes sir, these are the slaves"

"Perfect, take them to the cages"

"Yes sir"

The same thoughts went through my head: we're going to be slaves again,

we'll be the same, relin held me tightly by the spleen with his tearful eyes

tearful, when one of the guards pushed her, causing her to fall

I started to bleed and a voice in my head said something like "face one

complete" I didn't understand what it meant, all I felt was a lot of hatred and my

blood was hot, I picked up Relin, tried to clean him and tell him that everything was going to be

fine, when suddenly I felt a kick pushing me to the ground, trying to

make me fall face first.

That feeling of anger grew, more and more when the same voice said "face

two complete final phase in progress" my blood got hotter and hotter

I got up off the ground and we continued walking a few meters from the carriage

and the cages one of the guards said something that for me was the point that made me

hotter.

"Do you think the boss will let us take the girl to play with her tonight?"

"It would be great if he said yes, I've had nights without playing with something like this"

Playing with something like this, she is not an object, she is a human being, she is a little girl,

a girl who laughs, smiles, is sad, cries a girl who feels she is not an object of

fun, my body felt hotter and hotter when the same voice in my

head said something "final phase complete your locks are free" at that

moment my heart was filled with energy and I felt lighter and my memories

came back to me.

My name is Arlestin Domeso. I was a 20-year-old boy living in a huge city

called Tokyo. I was a foreigner living in Japan. When I was 18, I went to live there

and, as I really liked Japanese culture, when I was coming back from work,

I noticed a robbery in the distance. By chance, I was shot

which caused my death. It was then that my soul was taken to heaven and I met a

god who told me that he would give me the opportunity to be reincarnated in another world where

magic existed, and that he would make me the strongest person in the world, but that the power

he would give me would wear my body out if it was not strengthened, and that to use it

had to train hard, but he told me I had to do him three favors.

The first was to cleanse the world of human evil, the second was to kill the

people who were summoned to that world who did evil and finally

eliminate the corrupt gods.

Without hesitation I accepted I had nothing else to do and going to another world filled me with

intrigued but I had the misfortune of reincarnating as a slave.

When I came back from that trance I was already being taken to the

cells in the carriage. Relin came up beside me and was crying, grabbing my arm with a

face that was about to cry, I quickly stopped her and told her that everything

would be all right.

"Relin can close his eyes for a moment."

She nodded her head saying yes, I quickly sprang into action, I left Relin on

one side, I rushed at one of the guards, he drew his sword and tried to

kill me, I was able to jump and land behind his back, with that I was able to grab the

dagger that he had at his back waist, I cut his neck and threw the dagger

the other guard my movements were fast and precise, I quickly grabbed Relin and

some coins that the guard had and we escaped on one of the horses,

We left that damned city that looked like hell, when we crossed the

main door all I could say to Relin was "we are free Relin at last

we are free"

All I could see was his cheeks stretching into a beautiful smile and

his eyes crying with happiness, this was a new beginning for me and the

continuation of Relin We rode all night until we reached a small town

called Forest Valley, it appeared to be so called because it was surrounded by

a huge forest with all kinds of plants that were used to make potions, when

arrived we stayed in an inn that cost a silver coin per day

luckily we had enough money to live there for a week.

The place was nice as we entered through a rustic-style wooden door on the right was

the receptionist who checked us in and charged us at the top were the

rooms and on the left was the bar and dining room. Luckily when we entered as

it was midnight there was no one there except the person who was attending to us.

"Hello, good evening, I would like to rent a room for two."

"Sorry, we only have one room available, the girl who is yours."

I couldn't say that she was a friend because I was a 24-year-old adult and I could

seem like a Lolicon. Quickly and without thinking, I said the following

"She is my daughter."

"Ok, that's fine, sir. So it will be a room for one person, bathroom for

two and lunch."

"Yes, that's fine with me, right, dear?"

"Yes, Dad."

I could tell that Relin knew that he had to act fast. This girl surprises me, even though

she's only six years old, but that cute little smile of hers was weird.

"So it will be one silver coin and three for food and bathroom."

I nodded trying to say that I wanted to sleep and that I was super

tired, but the lady kept going.

"You will be registered as an adventurer or merchant."

I didn't know what to say. I mean, I had enough strength to be one, but I

wasn't so sure if I needed a badge or something. The only thing I could think of

was

"As an adventurer it's fine but I have a problem and that is that I lost my

registration plate"

"No problem, you can bring it tomorrow a few streets away there's a small

guild you can register it tomorrow"

"Thank you miss, I could go now, my daughter was falling asleep"

"Yes, no problem sir, have a good rest"

I took Relin in my arms as if she were a little princess, where she was

standing she was already wobbling from tiredness, quickly I went to a

small room where there was a bed and a lamp I put Relin to bed and wrapped her up

while she slept I didn't go to have a bath, when I got to the bathroom I felt like I was in

heaven I hadn't had a bath in years and much less with hot water, my skin

seemed to come back to life.

I was in the bathtub and I was thinking about what to do next. The main thing was to

join the adventurers' guild, get a job and earn money so that later on I could

take Relin to her village with her sister and then fulfill my mission in

this world.

When I got out and dried off, I went to the bedroom. Relin was asleep. She looked like an angel.

I felt in my chest as if she really was my daughter I knew I said it on

impulse but a part of me felt that she really was.

I woke her up so she could have a bath and feel fresh when I spoke to her she screamed at me

sharply saying "daddy, daddy you're back" my heart broke and I burst into

tears she said something to me.

"Why are you crying, dad?"

"Relin, you know I'm not your dad, right?"

"Of course you are, you're my dad, you saved me."

"Relin, haven't you ever had a dad?"

"No, never. My dad died when I was born and I was always jealous of my sister

because she did have one."

My heart broke. This girl had never had a father figure in her life. She

had found him in me.

"Then you are my daughter too, Relin."

She smiled and hugged me tightly and with long tears of happiness, if she

had never had a father and I had never had a daughter and we both loved each other, I didn't know where the problem lay.

the problem was me, so I got her out of bed and took her to have a bath,

after her bath we went to bed to sleep so we could start our day tomorrow.

When I got up I realized something and that was that we had no suitable clothes, neither relin nor

me, I quickly called the receptionist so she could get me some suitable clothes

Both for my daughter and for me, when the receptionist arrived, something was different

than last night.

"Good morning, could you do me a favor?"

"..."

"Excuse me, could you get clothes for me and my daughter with this money?"

"Of course, I'll bring it right over, sir," she said, blushing

The receptionist was a little flushed, I don't think she blushed because

she wasn't wearing a shirt it's normal in this job to see people without clothes well

at least on the top, I hoped it wouldn't take that long, I wanted to give

Relin those clothes as a gift and when we get money to buy her something nice.

It might seem like I'm spoiling her, but she's a great girl, I want to give her the

best I can until the moment we have to say goodbye, the path

I am going to travel is a road of blood and ruin and I don't want her

to be involved.

It was a long time before the manager arrived with the clothes I left things and

she quickly ran out I couldn't say thank you, for Relin she brought a beautiful

sky blue dress with yellow details and for me a black raincoat with

red details and a black shirt for me was enough I changed and picked up

Relin to give her her gift and go to lunch.

When I tried to pick her up she said she was staying a little longer and of course I

let her, after a while I threatened her that she wasn't going to get any cake,

she got up quickly without complaining and I gave her her dress and her blue shoes, her face

of joy filled my heart.

"Thank you, Dad, I'll take good care of them."

"Don't worry, daughter, I'll buy you more, but we have to go to lunch."

She shook her head, trying to say that she was already hungry, and changed quickly.

I had to help her tie her hair back. She told me she wanted a ponytail like

mine, when I saw her in her dress and her pretty shoes I was amazed and

to think that she was my daughter hehe, all she needed was a necklace and a small bracelet

to make it perfect, after that we decided to go to lunch to get started

on the tasks we had pending.

"Dad, this cake is delicious"

"Really, sweetheart, eat all you want"

"Really dad, then I could eat some more"

"Of course, dear"

Then I spoke to the manager

"I'm sorry, could you bring me some more of this cake?"

"Of course, sir, I'll bring it right away"

I thanked the lady and started to enjoy the food. Meanwhile

I also remembered everything I had to do: go to the guild, register, get

a job and, most importantly, money and a map, the latter to find out where the

village of Relin was. I suppose her sister must be very worried about her.

"Daughter, you're finished, aren't you?"

"Yes, Dad, I'm finished."

"Then let's go. We have to go to the guild, daughter."

I took Relin by the hand and put her on my shoulders and we set off for the guild

it was almost at the south exit of the village, it was a bit of a run-down and neglected place

as if it would fall down at any moment, there was a huge double wooden door

when we went in I was completely alone, the only person there

was the manager, a tall girl with blonde hair, emerald-colored eyes

emerald eyes and a huge smile, we quickly went over to her

and the closer we got, the bigger her smile got.

"Hello, good morning, I would like to register as an adventurer."

"Good morning. First, I have to explain the ranks and levels."

What she told me was this: there are 11 ranks of 4 places,

At the bottom are the rank of bronze, copper and iron

In second place are obsidian, silver and gold

In third, emerald, adamantite and orichalcum

And in last place, which few have reached, are diamond and the SS rank, which only

heroes reach

The level is part of the rank and the higher the level, the higher the rank you reach

I don't know what my current level is, I'm not aiming for much, I just

I hope it is necessary to accept missions, while I had just explained to myself

the manager was going for a glass in the shape of a tablet that seemed to emit a kind

of magic fountain.

"With this magic tablet we will be able to see your statistics and on this small card

your data, skills, achievements and most importantly, you will be able to

save money in the magic boxes"

It seemed that what he was going to give me was like an ID card like the ones

we used in my old world and also like a credit card like the ones in

banks. This world seems to have inventions like in my old world but

powered by magic.

"Please put your hand on the tablet to display your statistics."

When I put it on, the tablet glowed. There was a big magic fountain on it.

After a few seconds my level, statistics and achievements were there

Name: Arlestin Domeso, gender: male, age: 24, level 20, strength: 1000,

endurance: 1000, agility: 1500, magic: 2000, magic resistance: 2000, funds: 0

My stats were as crazy as could be, I had a strength and agility of ten, I could

barely be a ninja, what worried me was that they weren't something out of the ordinary for

my level.

"Apparently, Mr. Arlestin, you have very good stats with that, you would be in

Obsidian. Here is your identification plate, which is your rank identification.

I hope you continue to train and strive."

It seemed like nothing out of the ordinary, for the record Obsidian is good I have

a good rank to get good missions and excellent money, what I had

doubt is how the ATM works.

"Excuse me miss, how does the magic box work?"

"Very good question sir, you have to put your right hand and your card in that

machine over there, as soon as that happens you will put in the amount of money you want to

, that money will be kept for 15 days without anyone being able to use it,

 after that date you will be able to withdraw it"

I understood a little bit now I guess that 15 days is so that you don't put money in

for fear of a robbery and then withdrawing it the same day is an ingenious idea, although

it's better to take it with you so you can spend it instantly.

After he had explained it to me, we left the place to go to a blacksmith's

I needed a sword and a bow to cover both long and short distances,

when we entered the shop there were very beautiful and very expensive weapons, I didn't look at the

appearance but at the usefulness, it seemed that Relin wanted something, I didn't know that girls

liked weapons.

"Relin, do you want something from the shop?"

"Yes, Dad, but I want it for my sister. She really likes swords."

"Really, is that the kind of sword your sister uses?"

"It's a blue sword with a dolphin-shaped handle. It's very pretty."

"Really? Do you think that when we go home we could buy her a sword as a

gift from you and me? That would make her really happy."

"Really dad, thank you very much"

To tell the truth, I didn't care about the money, all I want is for Relin to be

happy. When we had finished buying the bow and the sword, we went to the inn to

eat and let Relin rest, while I went to hunt some monsters and

get money for the trip and experience, if I want to keep my promise I must first

I must make myself strong, when I arrived at the inn I gave my ID to officially register

at the inn, after that we ate and Relin fell deeply asleep,

I left her in our room and told the owner that if she woke up to give her

cake, it's not like I was going to be that long but I need her to be as calm as

possible.

When I got to the guild I went to the job board, there were a lot of them, some of

them were easy and didn't pay much but one caught my attention and it was to collect

the golem cores, for each core there were 20 silver coins, without hesitation

I accepted the mission, it was simple and it was very good for increasing my statistics.

When I arrived at the place, an hour late, it was very far outside the village in the middle of the

forest, I expected the golems to be like in the games I played in my

world, but when I saw them they were huge and terrifying things, rock giants

over 10 meters tall. It was crazy. There were 10 in total. If I managed to kill them all and

take out the core, there would be 200 silver coins, a lot of money.

I quickly set to work, I needed a strategy that was fast and

without using magic, obviously I didn't want to use magic because I didn't know how to use it yet, so

I saw the golems have parts that join them together as if they were joints and if they were

rotated they would be easy to defeat.

I quickly went to attack their joints, it was easy to cut and they fell and when

they fell with a subtle blow to the chest they died instantly so I went one by

one, I'm not going to deny it, they are slow creatures but if they catch you off guard their strength can

kill you, luckily I have good agility and strength, so I defeated them

easily. Before leaving, I collected the nuclei, but something seemed strange to me. I felt

a huge presence flying in the sky.

When I looked up, I stood trembling for a moment. It was a huge

gray dragon. That dragon seemed to be coming towards me, and I am correct in saying that

I narrowly managed to dodge its breath of fire, a rather dangerous breath,

instantly the golen disappeared and only cenisas remained, I had only two

options: kill it or get out of there fast, when choosing one of the two

something caught my attention.

"I hope you fear me, little human. My name is Rinva, the dragon of the

wind"

"Hello Mr. Dragon Rinva, I was wondering what you need from me."

"I want a fight to the death with you. If you beat me, you will have all my treasures, but if

you lose, your power will be mine."

At that moment I was afraid, but I had no choice. It was either die or live. Well,

 it also called to me a lot to be able to overcome it and gain experience. "I accept with all

honor, Mr. Rinva."

"Then we begin."

The moment Rinva said that, the battle to the death began.

Rinva's movements were fast. Each attack with my sword was nothing critical. The only

thing I could use was the bow, but even so, no arrow came out. I didn't know if giving my

maximum power would end up exhausting me, the most logical thing was to give it in a desisibo attack.

Despite being a huge dragon, it moved well. The only strategy that

came up with was to fire arrows as a distraction and to run and deliver a disintegrating blow, as he said

this battle is life or death, with the disintegrating attack which is a triple sword

cut I could deliver 12 stabs to his chest with which he could die he fell

to the ground and I with him was still alive but he had a few minutes left when

he started to talk to me.

"Hey kid, you have my respect."

"Hey, relax, rest."

"That doesn't matter, what I need to tell you is a story."

A story. I didn't know what his story was about, but I wanted to know, so I let him

continue.

For more than 100 years, we elemental dragons have lived to be able to

control the course of living beings, so that there would be no rules or bad

conflicts, but since the arrival of the heroes everything has gone to the depths of

darkness. We have become the strongest and the weakest, and all

thanks to the dragon of darkness, the most dangerous dragon of all. This dragon

feeds on people's malice and suffering, and with the heroes on its

side things have gotten worse and worse, both we elementals and the

dragon of light have suffered greatly, but you were sent by the god who is not

corrupt and you came to save this place that we love so much.

That is why with my death I give you all my fortune that I had in life as a dragon and

human and I give you the power to control the magic of the wind, I leave the destiny of the

world in your hands.

After those words Rinva disappeared with the wind those words

left a mark on me, I know that I have to give my best so that this world will be

a better place for the people who live in it.

I left in a hurry to claim the guild's reward and save the

money I was planning to leave here until I had a gold coin equivalent

1000 in silver my goal was a long way off but with this hard work I was killing two

birds with one stone, I don't want to look at my statistics until I'm sure I've

made some progress.

I quickly ran out of the forest, it was almost sunset and

I had left Relin alone, the fight with Rinva had gone on for a long time, when

I arrived at the village, I went to the guild to claim my reward, the exchange of

cores and money went smoothly, now I just had to deposit my money in the

magic bank when I entered everything, seeing what was there I was surprised

I almost fainted there were 40 million gold coins in my account.

At that moment I started to tremble. There were some strange figures. The only thing that

came to my mind were Rinva's words that with the fight he would give me

all his treasure, but I also remembered that he said something about his life as a human.

I quickly went to the manager to ask her a few questions.

"Hello, excuse me. By any chance, do you know who Rinva is?"

"Oh yes, Mr. Rinva is a count who lives in one of the important cities of the

empire."

I couldn't see two people with the same name, so the most logical thing is that they are the same

person or the same dragon. I don't even know what to think anymore. I quickly ran away from there

so I could go to the inn where Relin was waiting for me. When I arrived, Relin

was waiting for me in the dining room, asleep, with a piece of cake.

cake, I picked her up and took her to the room, I put her to bed and gave her a goodnight kiss.

I went down to the dining room to have dinner and to talk to the manager. I wanted to know

where the village of Relin was and how long it would take to get there.

"Hello, excuse me, manager, could you tell me how I can get to a village?"

"Of course I can, which village would you like to go to?"

"The village is called Calmiller"

"It's south of here. It would take you 4 days to get there. The road is safe but you could

run into bandits"

"Thank you, you've been helpful, manager"

"Stop calling me that, it's a bit awkward. You can call me Anna"

"OK Anna, do you by any chance know someone who sells a cart and a couple of

horses"

"Yes, I know someone. I could have it for you in 15 days."

"Perfect, then you come in and support us for a while longer, Anna, haha."

And so we stayed for 18 days. When the cart arrived, I had to withdraw money

from the bank. I was able to get 500 gold coins with which I paid for the cart and the horses

and I also bought all the food and supplies possible for the trip and for

time of arrival.

As I said, I don't care about the money. If I have it, I'll give the best to Relin and his

sister. A day before leaving, Relin and I went to get five thousand gold coins

and we went to the clothing store.

"Hey Relin, do you like these clothes you're looking at here?"

"Yes, Dad, I love them, they're very pretty."

Those were the words I wanted to hear to go crazy and start

spending.

"Excuse me sir, could you bring me all the nice clothes that are my daughter's size?"

"Yes sir, I'll bring them right away."

I could only look at piles of beautiful clothes that would fit Relin perfectly,

 but something in a display case caught my attention, something that sparkled beautifully.

"Could you tell me how much it would be for all the clothes?"

"It would be 1000 gold coins, a total of 100 pieces of the best quality clothing."

"Perfect, I'll take them all. You could take them to my race outside."

"Yes sir, we'll pack them up right away."

When I turned to the display case, there was a princess tiara with a diamond

inlaid diamond, it was beautiful and it sparkled like never before, Relin was amazed by how

beautiful it was.

"Excuse me, how much does this tiara cost?"

"It costs 3000 gold coins."

"Perfect, I'll take it."

"Dad, it's not very expensive. You've already spent a lot on clothes."

"Don't worry, daughter, it's okay. As long as I'm alive, anything you want will be yours."

Without complaining, I accepted. I know I didn't want something so expensive, but I wanted to give her the

best possible gift so that when the day comes that I leave, she will be happy and have a memory

of me.

Now the only thing missing was the gift for Relin's sister. This had to be

perfect and as I don't know her clothing size I will have to give her the best sword

possible.

It was bad when I went I had to go to the bank to withdraw another five thousand gold coins

this time to go for everything or nothing.

When I arrived at the shop I went straight to the manager and asked him

what was the best sword he had, when I saw it I almost fell off my

surprise I didn't know if it was a sword for fighting or a decorative one it had diamonds

that looked like dolphins it wasn't heavy at all, the shopkeeper said it was one of

the best swords he had as light as air and sharp enough to cut

a mountain in two.

"How much for the sword?"

"3000 gold coins"

"Do you happen to have another one?"

"Yes, but it has a dragon inlaid on it."

"Perfect, I'll take both. I'd like to gift-wrap the dolphin one for the dolphin."

The man's face almost dropped. How could anyone possibly buy two of

such tremendous weapons? When I held my sword, it weighed nothing. It was super light.

You could tell it had an extremely dangerous edge, so I decided not to use it until

a dangerous situation.

It was already the day of departure. We had been in this town for 19 days, enjoying ourselves, crying and

spending money. Relin and I were going to leave for his sister's home,

the journey would take 4 days. We took food for a whole month, fruit and

vegetables of all kinds. The only thing we didn't have much of was meat. We took Relin's clothes, a

beautiful sword for her sister and a box with ten thousand coins

possibly in case something happened, the bandits I wasn't worried I'm

a person who can defend himself well.

And so our journey began towards a new destination
