why help?
because I want to, I love to, my moral wants me to do so, if I don't do it, I won't be able to sleep at night from nightmares and guilt
if I wasn't able to help i would take the road of running even if there were risks but the problem is that I can do this.
this thought didn't come from my arrogance nor from being overconfident or anything like that.
because i myself know after gathering some information that i discovered about This world ,that I can't really do anything on my own; even fleeing on my own would be difficult, let alone saving others.
Although such a naive thought crossed my mind before, I was glad I held myself from doing anything stupid and did look at information about this world before moving.
After knowing how deep the water is in this world,
I searched for a helper so that I could save those people without breaking the law of this world and without offending a lot of people while doing so .
when i was about to give up as i was in the colosseum, i can't even get out to talk to some important people who could help and even if i could i don't even know what to tell them
"please help me save the innocent prisoners in the colosseum?"
if I, who only investigated for a day, discovered such a thing? Would important people with power in this city not know such a simple thing Of course not, they know without a doubt, so would they need wait until I ask them to help? Of course, this is another no for this question.
those in power in this city are three types ,most of them are afraid, some are indifferent, and there are some scums who would laugh and approve of such action as well.
If the second and third types are scum, does that make the first type a good one?
As they say, just because you are right doesn't mean I am wrong, and the opposite is also true.
The first type is divided into two parts:
one is afraid of losing power if they try to save them, while the other is not afraid of losing power but is afraid of the trouble that will come later after they help, such as being executed or killed by revenge, threats to their families, and others.
so because of the several reason above they won't help, was that a bad thing?of course it is having the ability to save but don't is a sin
However, not all of those are guilty, at least those who did not help for the sake of not endangering their families and close ones are not guilty.
Always try to save your close one first, even if hundreds will die as a result, that's the world truth that's human nature as well some will die saving their comrades countries while others will sacrifice them even if they love them to save their closest one.
Humans are contradictory creatures, both selfish and selfless; someone can be both selfish and selfless at the same time; only the Circumstances differs when this nature of them manifests itself .
No matter how bad a person is, he would at least have done a good deed in his life, whereas no matter how good a person is, he would have done some sins in his life .
when my hope was beginning to crumble, I finally found a light that is doom .
a month after coming to this colosseum my friendship with doom grew
He appears to admire what I'm doing, which made it easier for me to become a good friend with him.
I'd always wondered why he was working in a small city with his level of healing; if I took Doom to Earth, I'm sure he wouldn't be able to escape the military even if he tried, and here, although I don't know much about this world, healers of the Doom class should be rare.
When he heard my question, He told me about being snatched away from the battlefield by the mayor's father for his son's safety, and how the military couldn't refuse his order for only a small healer like himself with no background.
his face was filled with rage at that time, and he said to me
"Leo, what I'm about to say is something I don't want anyone to hear, so please sign a contract with me even though I'd like to believe you but we've only known each other for a month."(doom)
"It's fine what kind of contract" (leo)
"a no lie and non-disclosure of information contract means you can't lie or say anything about the conversation we'd have later"(doom)
"It's fine, where is it?"(leo)
Standing up from his chair, he took a piece of paper and a pen, the words he wrote in the contract shone with a golden colour.
After he wrote it and signed it, he handed it to me, and after reading it, I signed in it, "OK, what's this all about?"(Leo)
"You will know later, but first allow me to ask you , you don't have memory loss, right?"(doom)
"Yes, I am just ignorant of things so I played the memorie lost card"(leo)
"why?"(doom)
" to protect myself"(leo)
"from whom?" (doom)
"everything" (leo)
"what do you mean everything why would you be the enemy of every person in the empire"(doom)
'you are not even close not only the empire but the whole world actually' but how could leo say that?
"I can't tell"(leo)
"Can't tell then is that secret you're keeping from me dangerous to me?"(doom)
"no,as long as I don't say it"(leo)
"What would happen if you said it? Would I attack you or something?"(doom)
"That is possible, but there is also the possibility that you wouldn't even care"(leo)
"Are you possibly planning a rebellion or something? If so, I wouldn't recommend it as you will be crushed to death before even beginning with that plan of yours."(doom)
"how the hell did your mind reach that step and no, I am not anyway don't ask anymore because I will not answer anyway there is only one thing i would like to say that is don't worry i don't have any intention of harming you"(leo)
"okay i will tell you now what i want to say"(doom)
he paused for a moment then looked at my eyes and said "do you want to save those prisoners,if yes, i have a way to do so do you want to know how "(doom)
With no hesitation in my speech, I said excitedly to him, "Yes, how,what do I needed to do?"(leo)
"Stop, stop, stop, I'll say it , back off a little bit will ya please, you're about to kiss me man"(doom)
hearing his word i was about to throw up from the thought of what he said
"what the hell man we are talking about something serious right now "(leo)
"okay okay calm down man sorry i couldn't help it you came suddenly at me all at once i really thought you were going to kiss me with that distance i couldn't help but panic a little "(doom)
"Just so you know, doom, I'm a guy, not a gay, and I love women, so get those thoughts out of your head right now or I'll pûnch you."(leo)
"leo don't make it as if i am a gay i also love women and to tell you the truth i am already married"(doom)
"ooh didn't know congrat any way could you please complete what you were saying" (leo)
"leo after hearing my story you should know how much i hate the mayor right "(doom)
"as clear as the sun's light"(leo)
"Actually, years ago, when I heard that my comrades had died on the battlefield, I thought a lot about how to take my revenge, and I gathered evidence of his wrong doing and every weak point I could use, but I knew that even with that, the empire wouldn't give me what I wanted if I gave them the evidence I had, instead they would only give him some light punishment, not because the empire is corrupted, but because at this age the empire doesn't want to lose any of its forces, and it needs every human resource it can use and more to survive this era, while the empire would be happy to get rid of scums like the mayor keith ,but because of his backing it may lose the forces that is under his father's control, so it would rather not do this because of the contract that was signed ages ago that implies that war between territories can't happen if there isn't a big reason, so the empire can't help, so instead I chose other ways."(doom)
'what kind of contract is that?'
leo though but as he know that this was not a good moment to ask remembered this point so he could ask doom later
"From the moment I arrived in this territory, I discovered a lot of citizens in this city who were dissatisfied with how this city had become since the mayor changed to Keith people were oppressed living in fear, taxes were as high as the sky, and several other problems that had occurred since i came,so I gathered from those people those who are capable and were willing to die in order to kill the mayor but even though we could kill him with our forces at any time But, in order not to make the people of this city any more miserable than they already were,when the mayor's father come to get revenge for his son death we waited for the opportunity to blame his death on some disaster or the like, and such a thing would happen in less than 4 months, so after hearing all of this, would you like to join us, although our goal is not to free the prisoners, but we could do that while doing this as well, so what do you think?"(doom)
Finding nothing against his claim, I immediately said , "of course that's what I've been waiting and wishing for all this time."(leo)
present time
And that was the second reason I didn't flee the territory.
remembering all of this i gathered strength in my fist as my eyes regained their light as I thought ' i should endure only a little more'
with me regaining some strength and willpower, I called doom from outside the room as he brought me some food to eat.
