Chapter 5 - The Truth of Heath Vader

---

After a long time of research on himself, Heath fell asleep. After some time, Heath woke up. This was his third day in Eldora. He went downstairs to eat his breakfast in the garden because he loves nature. When he arrived downstairs, he found that Melanie was arguing with some guys. He realized they were outsiders, not from this country, as they were wearing vest armor and had swords in their hands. He went between them and said, "Come on, guys, why are you fighting? Let's enjoy the beauty of nature together." Then he handed them a beer.

Male One instantly threw his beer on Heath's head and said, "Huh, I am not here to enjoy the beauty of nature. I am here to find a man named Heath Vader, the legendary magician of all time. Understand? Now get lost."

Heath replied, "Hey, so you are looking for me? I am Heath Vader. Who sent you here? You don't seem to live in this country."

Male Two responded, "You and Heath Vader? Are you mad? I think your brain isn't working or your head is stuck in your ass."

Heath replied, "I am not lying. I am Heath Vader. It's the truth."

Male One said, "Heath is the greatest magician of all time. Every king fears him. He stood alone in front of five nations and had a cruel heart. He was a merciless monster. Prove to me that you are Heath Vader. Everyone knows that Heath Vader died fifteen years ago."

Heath replied, "First answer me, how did you find out that I live here? Who told you?"

Male One responded, "Your friend named Alice told us."

Heath thought, "Alice, oh, that burger guy. How did he know I live here? So he spied on me after we left his shop. What a foolish man."

Heath replied, "Then Alice told you who sent you here?"

Male One replied, "The almighty Wenren Huohan gave us the order to capture you alive because we heard there was a man who cast a dark spell in the colosseum. The only people who can cast a dark spell are Wenren Huohan or Heath Vader. So we are serious about this."

Heath replied, "Oh, so that's why you came after me, huh? And what can I do to prove Vader?"

Male One responded, "Cast that dark spell again. If you do it, we will know that you are Heath Vader. If you don't, I will stab this woman with my katana and kill her in a second." Then he grabbed Melanie's neck and put his katana to it.

Heath was shocked. "But this wasn't part of the deal. I can't cast a magic spell. Wait, if you want proof, please check my room. You will see some ancient pictures or the book in which I write ancient magic spells. But don't kill this woman."

Male Two smirked and said, "Huh! Don't kill this woman? We thought you were Heath Vader who killed his own brother. We heard you could kill anyone, even your father, if he opposed you. And now you care for your low-class maid who only serves you? Not in a million years are you Heath Vader. You are just a brat who thinks by naming himself after a legendary magician, Heath Vader."

Heath thought, "He is telling the truth because I was a man named Mercurius before somehow I managed to get reincarnated in this body."

The author suddenly said, "Not somehow, my son. You were hit by the almighty, the legendary, the high king, and lastly the emperor, 'Truck-kun.'"

Heath finally said yes to Male One's offer. He decided to show him the dark spell he cast before, but he said, "I am not showing you here. We have to go to the forest."

Male One and Male Two proceeded with Melanie and Heath. When they reached there, Male One said, "Now it's time to cast, brat."

Heath started reading the spell, "Dai Sankyu Black Sabbath! Devour!"

A black light produced in his hand, and Heath targeted the sky again. When he focused his mind and aimed at the sky, the light covered it, and in a second, day turned into night. Everyone was shocked.

Male One said, "Huh! How did you do that? This is the real dark spell. Now we have proof that you are Heath Vader. But how did you change your personality in these fifteen years? Before, you were a merciless monster, and now a nature-loving stoic. How?"

Heath replied, "You know, fifteen years is a long time for a person to turn their life upside down. In these fifteen years, I mastered many arts like being emotionless, stoicism, pacifism, and the art of conquering one's heart, mind, and soul."

Male Two responded, "Shut up, brat! The real order is to take you to our country, not to listen to your bullshit. If you don't go with us, we will kill your maid." Then he pushed Melanie to the ground and pointed his katana at her neck. "If another word comes out of your mouth, I will stab my katana into her throat."

Suddenly, Lucaris arrived there, running. Everyone was shocked. Heath said, "Lucaris, how did you know I was here?"

Lucaris replied, "Everyone knows that you are here because you cast this dark spell in the sky and turned day into night. Now you wish everyone wouldn't know this. I spotted it, so I came here. But can you tell me what's going on?"

Male One said, "Another brat here. Get in line. You are third in line to be murdered."

Male Two said, "No, second in line because we have orders to capture Heath alive."

Lucaris replied, "Don't piss me off. Who do you think you are, calling me a brat or thinking you are untouchable because you are from another nation? I will strike you both down at once. Put your sword down from that girl."

Male Two replied, "So you are his boyfriend, huh? You have a brave mouth but no knowledge and a hollow brain." Then he touched his sword tip to Melanie's neck, and blood started to drip.

Lucaris got angry. He vanished from where he was standing, then suddenly appeared before Male Two and gave him a neck chop. Lucaris had enormous physical strength, and Male Two's neck bone was smashed after the chop, killing him on the spot.

Male One got angry. He ran towards Lucaris with his sword. Lucaris vanished again, then appeared before him and kicked him in the groin. Male One shouted and kneeled before him, saying, "You play dirty, brat. You don't have a soul of a true warrior." Then he started begging for his life.

Lucaris forgave him and said, "Go back to your king and say Heath Vader is back again to conquer the world."

After this, Lucaris said to Heath, "Why didn't you try to protect Melanie? This is all your fault. Why did you cast a dark spell? You could have cast another spell. If you had done that, we wouldn't be here, and you wouldn't have become a target for them. This is the first and last time I helped you."

Heath replied, "I am really sorry, but I am not Heath Vader. I am a guy named Mercurius Ernesh who randomly reincarnated into this body. I am a nature-loving stoic who can't do anything. I always hated war, but my father always told me to fight. I always wanted to live in peace where no wars or bad things happen. That's the reason I was hated by my entire family: my mother, father, and younger brother. All of them treated me like a dog. They even told their guards not to respect me. They put me in a cage where magical beasts were kept. I couldn't do anything because I didn't have a single drop of magic in my body. I was always a weakling. My brothers had greater strength and magical powers than me. So I am really sorry about everything."

Lucaris and Melanie were surprised. Lucaris said, "We will talk about this later, but now you are Heath Vader, which means you are my friend."
