Asroth faced their house and aimed his hands.
"[Fireball]." A ball of fire formed in Asroth's hand and quickly struck their house.
As their house burned, he looked at the scattered bodies around.
Then he looked at Asrah.
"Asrah..."
Asroth held Asrah's hand, and they quickly left their burning house.
_____
Now they were atop a tall tree.
They were quite far from the village but could still see a small red light from the village.
It was their house that Asroth had burned down, as they were leaving the village.
In the world of Hestia, killing people was as normal as killing mosquitoes.
If you're weak, you die. If you're strong, you get everything.
Asroth looked at the two large moons.
He took a deep breath.
"Remember, Asrah, you need to become strong. Strong to the point that nothing can stop you. Because without strength, there is no freedom."
Asroth closed his eyes, memories flowing through him.
_____
"I tried everything... But my strength was not enough to fulfill my dream of freedom."
Bang!
A loud gunshot was heard by Kai, and simultaneously, one of his companions who tried to escape fell.
Kai simply closed his eyes and walked away.
Strength... I need strength...
_____
"Kai Scazer Code: 0"
"We have him surrounded now!"
Loud gunshots could be heard all around him, surrounding him.
'Fuck this!'
Kai gripped a grenade tightly.
"Before I die... hahh... I need... hahh... to take someone with me to hell!"
Kai jumped and quickly threw his last grenade.
Boommmm!
It exploded among five people, killing them instantly.
Kai himself felt his entire body heating up and slowly falling due to the many bullets hitting his body.
'Hahaha, if I live again, I'll become strong and do whatever I want.'
_____
And then...
He transmigrated into the world of Hestia.
Where it was a hundred times more dangerous than Earth.
So Asroth will do everything to become strong and survive, to protect those he wants to protect.
And he will kill anyone he needs to kill.
And with his luck, he obtained the Time Stone, which will fulfill his dream of becoming strong.
"If we didn't have strength earlier, what do you think would have happened to us?" Asroth asked, looking at the moon.
Asrah, who was beside him, remained quiet and slowly hugged Asroth.
Asroth smiled and stroked her hair.
Frost approached to join the hug.
"We're leaving, and the place we're going to is the Crain Kingdom. But before we reach the Crain Kingdom..."
"We need to find a place to stay nearby. I'll train inside the Time Stone because the journey ahead is very dangerous. We also need to grow Frost so we can ride on his back and travel faster," Asroth said.
"Mn." Asrah nodded in agreement.
