The little boy showed me to his village where he was famous I guess. He doesn't seem strong to be famous. Maybe he is really much walking around here so he's well known? I don't know and the villagers here are somehow very hostile towards me. Maybe this is because I'm a stranger or did they found out? Because I have a strong body building muscle was very easy. I looked now not like some macho but I had a well toned figure and people could see I wasn't weak. But they definitely wouldn't say I was particular strong per se. It is just I appeared to be a human male who is a bit well built.
I look like on of their kind and they are still very hostile towards me. How come they are so nervous here? Maybe monsters are common here? Without realizing I was already at an inn. It was an old fashioned inn which you could find in any ordinary fantasy RPG. It wasn't impressive but run down wasn't it either. I went over to the bar and asked a man who was around forty years old. He was wearing cheap clothes because they were made of several cloths but they were well put together and always the same color where it fitted. With that get up you could see that the inn was lacking somehow money and I said then to him:' Hello good man. I would like to stay here for a while but I was robbed when I let my guard down, so I would like to earn my stay for with cleaning.'. He then answered with a sharp tongue:' Cleaning you say? I wonder how long you will last!'. I thought about it and I simply wanted to do the dishes and do some laundry or house cleaning and stuff but maybe he misunderstood me? After that everybody in the inn here was laughing out loud and was seeming to boast about something but I wasn't sure what exactly they wanted to boast about.
The next day I started and asked:' Where can I begin my cleaning?'. The woman I was talking to, in her forties with a red dress which didn't shine anymore and a smile on her lips, answered slowly in a gentle voice:' Listen little boy, my husband is normally really kind but he can't express it well. He wanted to tell you yesterday that cleaning means here "cleaning monsters away". He forgot to tell you that. Please be still friendly with him. I know that you are strong despite your appearance!'. That's why everyone was boasting around but I couldn't hear what they were saying because I didn't want to expose me that I can use magic. So I just looked at their faces. Even still now that I know that this village is really hunted by monsters I can't afford to let it slide. I was also a human and that's more than enough as a reason for me to fight. I asked the woman at the counter where I could eat Breakfast. She replied and I ate with her together Breakfast. As we were munching on a bread I asked her:' How come your village is overrun with monsters?'. She made a troubled face and was looking really sad and said:' I think 246 years ago there was an incident that happened and there came a spirit which took revenge for what happened. She cursed our village and with that monsters were more frequently around the part in the forest here.'. She? How exactly? But I'm sure it is not Lady. Maybe an acquaintance of her? Not that it matters in the moment. I then wanted to know from her what exactly happened that a spirit used Curse Magic which was a forbidden aspect of Darkness Magic. She said that she doesn't know more than that. I don't want to and can't believe this! I mean it's the history of her village! Come on you can't take me for a fool! But I didn't want to ask her persistently as I didn't even know her name. And this cruel and sad fact should change now:' I'm Anreolia Magenus. And my husband is Uroll Magenus. Sorry for introducing so late. I forgot that you are not from around here. And what's your name?'. I definitely couldn't answer that and the name Master gave me I wouldn't dare to spill it. All that was left for me was to think of a name that would fit and I came up with:' Gordon Dessus. '
I was slowly approaching a barn when I heard some screams of muscle pain. It were without a doubt the screams of a man and they weren't that loud either. It alll was just a man working out and making some little noise instead of screams. He said something like 'mmmh' or 'ahhh' but just as noise and it could only be hear when you were near the barn. It happened that I wanted to talk to this man who was Uroll Magenus the man who kind of insulted me last night. I wanted to show off in front of him in order to prove him that even this 'strong one' here is inferior to me. He said then:' I'm not strong so there's no point in showing that you are superior to me. By the way what's your name?'. I then replied as my tongue kalled:' I'm Gordon Dessus! Nice to meet you Mr. Magenus.'. He only had a look on his face that said: I knoe that you met her. I wonder if they believe my fake name? I mean there's also no way to prove that I'm using a fake name right now, right? I just hope there's no way! I talked with him some more and then I already left the barn and went directly into the forest. For a while now I was fighting the monsters that were here seen very often, but none of them were any high class which would make them worth mentioning. Aside that fact the village elder came to see me if I was alright or not alive anymore. But he was quite surprised to see me standing there with close to not even a scratch on me. He was really impressed and said:' You know we common people from around here loath the spirits. Do you know why young one? One Mastress called Pumkeller or something like that cursed our village that even our descendants would meet the fate of hunted down monsters! It is now our 'town lore'. Which is still told to everyone that has the right to know what happened in the past. She cursed our lands here but people always tend to remember only one side of the same coin. 246 years ago there was a person who harassed everyone who he held for weaker. This fool took even pride in that! Aside that he mistook a friendly spirit as a human and wanted to fight him. The spirit didn't bother even when he got insulted. But in the moment he insulted this spirits master they were already fighting. The spirit lost and was killed. I barely know his name I think he was called Ereadim but I'm not sure. The Master then came and told the human who he has killed. After that he was blessed with infinite life power and no choice to run away from the village or he will be sent back to it by the same spell. All what was left for him was to witness how his village would go bankrupt and ruin itself as it was hunted down by monsters.'. I thought about what the old man told me. That's I think also a reason why master gave me the name Ereadim? But I can't know. Without even thinking through I asked him suddenly:' Could you be the villager who was granted eternal life?'. He replied with a nasty look:' Granted? Who knows if it's me or not? Only God will know when he sees me.'.
So he really was that human. I hope I just don't get exposed that I'm a spirit everyone loathes here! I wonder, would they drive me out of here? I just can't afford to mess with them! In the afternoon I guarded the village. I fell asleep in the morning time as my shift was already over. I dreamed of Master how she must have felt. I still can't know how she was feeling at that time. I hope she's safe and sound. If this cloaked guy still lies to her? I don't know. I just want to sleep... I'm so sleepy right now... We can talk later...
