I feel my back aching ... and I can smell incense. It took me a few seconds to recover enough to open my eyes ... every cell of my body is exhausted and sore.
Fortunaly, I do not have to move to use the system shop, so I open and search for 'healing potion' by putting only the best price filter, one of the first potions was 1 MP per 1000 small healing blue potions that were in transparent syringes, I do not know the quality, but i dont like those. Anyway I looked for other options until I found a red potion in a 50ml vial, 1 MP for 40 potions. If the price influence quality, I think this is a good option so I bought it.
I take one of the vials out of my inventory and with a lot of pain I was able to open and drink the content.
The lemonade-flavored liquid came down to my stomach where a warm, yet invigorating sensation began to spread through my body, but it still was not enough to relieve all my pain! More easily, I took another potion to my mouth.
After feeling the pleasurable sensation once more, I'm not at 100% but I decided to stop with the potions. Now that I feel much better I'm curious about the situation around me.
I look around, I'm in the Parrot's hut, everything is silent and I can see rays of light passing through the cracks in the wall, so I'm probably alone in the house. Before getting up I look on my EP:
welcome, time: 0812, external temperature of 28.5 degrees Celsius, no contact with satellite or wifi network
3 unread notifications.
I open my notifications
[Dormant genetic ability, activated]
[no name] Ability to completely ignore pain besides receiving a boost in activities. During and after the activation period, the ability uses 10 times more energy to fight or flee. After two days the metabolism returns to normal.
I was not too surprised with the notification. This is one of the possible effects of [Level C genetic improvement], the item description warned that has a small chance of waking up a dormant gene.
In a simple way I name the skill as [Anger]
The other two notifications were [Damage report] and [Coma status].
I gave a quick look on my damages. I took a beautiful spanking! But what matters is that I have won and the winners write History!
..
I thought about how fuck up my soldiers should be and decided to get up and help a little. Parrot and the kids were not home, so I headed out to the Elder's house that hosted the prisoners, maybe he knows something!
The village was in a strange mood, some were happy, some were tense and sad, but almost everyone was lost not knowing what to do.
The elder help me and I quickly found the soldiers wounded, unfortunately two men died. I talked to the family of the deceased and said that I would pay money to the heroes who fell last night.
The mood was tense until I took out the healing pools and began to heal people. The men began to thank me and asked me how it was the battle that they did not remember right. I answered honestly, most of it I did not remember, but it was wild.
Initially I wanted to hide how the battle happened because I thought it was very shameful, but seeing the men so beaten I decided to tell the truth, what I did not expect was that the result would be so positive!
People were impressed with all the power I released and hope that one day they could be so strong, everyone was grateful for the chance to change their lives!
I sent the people who have not yet transformed, meet me in front of the Lord's house.
I gave a little speech on the first step to a new path and started to turn everyone into Altiorem.
At the end of the day, almost everyone gathered in a new place, a small clearing very close to the village. There, using some very large stones, I made Statues of the two heroes who fought for freedom and for a future of hope. I thanked and promised the families that they would not starve or be forgotten!
Then the funeral was made. People let their tears flow, but it was not a scene of sadness, they all embraced and shared words of hope!
I could not help but cry too but not for the dead.
All this time I have been indifferent to things and people, I had never realized how much I can influence the people around me, I always focused on venturing and having a happy life full of adventures, but with a snap of my fingers I can make the world a paradise for all... But... I do not want to. I was always basing myself on Heroes that I admire, but the fantasy world is a long way from the real ... Would it be in the real world all the Villains Masked Heroes or is it just me?
Millions of emotions pass through me ... But in the end, my egoism wins. I'm going to be a hero in this world, so I can not save everyone.
I swallowed my feelings and in the blink of an eye a whole month passed!
