Five years
Five long years,that's how long the war against the demon King has been going on,cities destroyed,people dead,losses on both sides,its been very difficult but amidst all that hope still remains because we have something that those demons will never have and that's someone who's willing to fight for us and protect us someone who was blessed by the gods and is loved mana itself.
THE HERO
Random guy:Hahaha lady the hero can't protect us.
This guy was laughing at a woman that was conforting her daughter.
You could see that the mother and daughter hadn't eaten in days they were wearing dirty clothes,bodies looking very frail especially the little girl.
Lady:I-im just trying to calm her down
Random guy:Look around you we're all in this carriage because our homes were destroyed by those demons did you see their strength and besides do you think the hero will care about us we just lived in a little village,they dont give a damn about us they only protect those in power and the big cities.
Lady:You don't know that
Random guy:when those guys were attacking us did you see any Knight or any hero there?did you?
Lady:there are a lot of other places suffering like us,they can't be everywhere besides the gods were still looking out for us if he hadn't shown up we would all be dead by now.
The person they were talking about was a man with two swords at his waist and was covering his face with a hoodie.

ADAM POV
Adam:it was just a coincidence that I ended up there.
Lady:Still I can't thank you enough for protecting us.
'Everyone here looks lifeless,I guess that's to be expected,ahhh I'm tired'
Adam:Here Lady you and your daughter should drink something
He handed them a pouch of water and some dried meat.
Lady:Thank you
Adam:your welcome
Random guy:why are you just giving it to them we are all hungry here
Everyone in the carriage was looking at the mother and daughter eating.
Adam:I don't have enough for everyone.
Random guy:Then they should share it with us.
Adam:Are you dumb?it isn't enough for you,let them eat I gave it to them not you.
Random guy:Did you hear what he said,he doesn't want to give us food,he's playing favourites,oh I know what you want hehe you don't have to play nice I'm sure the mother will be more than accepting to spend the night with you.
Adam:And?that doesn't mean I'll give you any food.
Random guy:You bastard I was trying to be nice,if you don't wanna do this the nice way then I'll guess we'll have to take it by force.
Everyone in the carriage was ready to kill
'Why do I have to deal with this'
Adam saw that the carriage had stopped and the driver was at the back stopping anyone from leaving
Random guy:You have nowhere to go just give it up.
Adam:Alright then let's do this the hard way
He got up and put a hand on the sword
Adam:I just want you to know that you are the ones that started this
In a flash the driver that was in the back fell down
Adam:You two should get out.
Lady:Y-yes
Adam:Alright then who's next?
---------------------
After some time Adam got out of the carriage
'I don't see them'
Lady:We are here
They were hiding behind some trees not so far from the carriage.
Adam:Come on then let's go I'll be commanding the horses now,you should also come to the front.
Lady:Y-yes thank you
The finally started riding again
Adam:There's a town not so far from here you'll be able to rest there.
Lady:y-yes
Adam:You don't need to be scared I won't ask anything of you.
Lady:but the food and water
Adam:I gave it to you because I felt like It there's no special reason
Little kid:are you the hero?
Adam:Huh?
Lady:I'm sorry she just likes story's about heroes
Adam:what makes you think I'm a hero
Little kid:you saved me and mommy from the monsters and the bad guys that means you're a hero hehe.
Adam:I'm just a normal guy little girl,I'm no hero
