Chapter 1:

Wake up!

The Hero God: Unknown


I start to open my eyes and as I wake up I am faced with a monster in front of me.

Immediately he attacks me with his sword and hits me in the face.

Blood starts to spurt out where the sword cut me. I begin to feel pain coming from the wound. As I look at the enemy again, I realize that he is preparing to strike another blow. At this moment it comes to my mind that if I do not do it, it could be my end, since the monster will not make the same mistake again. As he raises his sword, I take a few steps back to dodge it. And the moment he misses the blow I prepare to counter attack with a quick and accurate move. "Aaaaaah..."

But before any movement goes through my head several questions of what reason is the monster attacking me? Where am I? and the most important of all the questions. Who am I?

It's every millisecond that passes more and more information arrives to my brain.

At this very moment what I am looking at is a terrifying monster that wants to kill me at any cost. The pain I am feeling is nothing close to what could come next the blood pouring out, I was fighting for my life no matter who I am or who I would cease to be.

My body's reactions are not helping me, I wonder if my enemy has any reason to attack me, I just see him staring at me my opponent is a goblinoid monster known as Hobgoblin Hero[1]. A very strong monster with good sword skills, he is certainly an experienced warrior in battle with several scars on his green body.

- You really won't let me get away, will you?

The Hobgoblin was moving fast, my movements were slow and each second that passed was a moment closer to an end. The more I think, the more information comes to my mind studying movements that might help me escape this one. He continues to strike me no matter how much I dodge I realize that each time his sword is closer to hitting me. I had to do something until I could see a gap between his movements, it was time to strike and put an end to this. He applies another blow and misses with it, I strike a sharp blow to his chest with my sword, I thrust it as deep as I can into his body to make sure I killed him.

- DEAD!

I manage to kill him, finally I am safe, at least for now, his body falls to the ground and as I look around I discover the reason for his anger, there were several bodies of Hobgoblins[2] around us, did I kill them? The pain of the blow that he had hit me does not cease, how long it lasts I do not know for sure. But I must keep moving forward, and eliminating whoever is in my way.

"... Huh?"

I look further ahead, another goblinoid, but this one was different from the last one had a more terrifying aura a monster known as the Hobgoblin King[3] all enraged, showing his two swords and boasting with his golden crown showing empowerment.

This is a reality that does not admit mistakes, because it will cost you your life. Everything in this world is real no matter how much I don't understand it.

I raise my sword from my right hand parallel to my body showing that he is my next target and watch him waiting for his first move.

The Hobgoblin King moved one of the swords in his left hand forward and positioned his other sword behind him. This latter was his trump card, a different sword with its handle formed from bones with a human skull, it was long and double-edged, and its point was curved and extremely sharp. It was probably a war trophy from some battle that he had come to win.

My breathing begins to flow more calmly from the more I concentrate, waiting for his attack.

"Kaah!!!"

That shout is the warning that he would see me attack, I brace myself.

- Come!

I speak to myself to give myself courage and not to be frightened in front of him the goblinoid runs towards me. His trump sword was moving in a way that was attracting my attention, he will attack me with it, as he gets closer to me he attacks me with his sword in front of me I defend it with my weapon holding it with my two hands, it was a very strong blow that made me slip back a little. And so he, came to use his trump card movement his big weapon taking advantage that I had defended myself, to apply a quick and accurate blow.

However... It was a move that I was expecting, this attack was very predictable, even with its great strength and power.

I took advantage of the space created when he applied the blow and pushed me backwards along with the time he brought his sword backwards to strike I dodged it in one simple movement just by turning sideways and his great sword passing inches from me and with such force that when it hit the earth it made a crater and raised a lot of dust. I was so close to the Hobgoblin King, he would never have imagined that I would escape this attack, he must have thought he split me in half.

"... It's over!"

I attacked him quickly so that he couldn't defend or dodge and struck with my sword horizontally. Cutting his neck taking advantage of the dust cloud made by his blow.

His head detached itself from his body in a slight flight, spurting his blood everywhere and his body falling forward. With no opportunity for a response, not a scream or anything the total silence of his death.

"Aaargh!"

I feel the pain on my face again and the blood continues to drip dripping onto my clothes, I look at my blood stained sword, I make a quick movement swinging it from left to right to clean it up a bit. And I put it away in my scabbard on my back.

As I regain some of my consciousness, I look at all the bodies in this green field.

This was a battle in this world. With many dead at every corner, blood dripping on the earth, and only the victor survives.

I walked a few steps and slowly put my back to a tree.

"What do I do now?"

There was no one there for me to talk to and ask some things, I was alone not knowing where I was. I close my eyes and try to think about my memories to see if I can find some answers the more I think the more my head hurts. But I keep doing even though the pain is unbearable on the verge of my head exploding.

"Arghhhhh!"

So several thoughts and information pass before my mind with so many details and so I found the answers to which I was looking for.

My goal was to be a Hero who could overcome anything and everything and bring freedom to many people in this world, just as I had wished in my past life. That was two years ago, time simply passes before my eyes and I have to content myself only with memories of all that I have been through.

Now I remember the moment when it all ended and began again, the moment when my life changed completely.
