It has been nine months since the festival and I have been practicing using Warheit. Warheit was a special sword,  made of something stronger than steel yet not made of metal, the handle was long, longer than a standard length for a one-handed sword and was more meant for a two-hander. The blade of the sword was as thick as the crossguard on the beginning yet as it goes closer to the tip, it thins out and stands at a full length of 4 feet. 

I was getting better at using Warheit and I discovered that he can turn into different weapons. His current form is his more skill-oriented version and has more moon-oriented designs to it. Looking at the Christian designs such as the cross on the crossguard. 

'What got you down partner?' The sentient sword asked me and I smiled at him sadly.

"Remember the girl from the festival?" I said and looked at the sword as the moon on the pommel opened to reveal a gem crystal that shows a wolf in it and looked at me.

'The hot girl with sexy body and has beautiful eyes and a sexy body?'

"Why the hell are you describing her so much you horny sword!" I said and glared at the wolf in the crystal and it merely wagged its tail.

'Those are your thoughts, not mine. Besides, remember that we are connected' 

I groaned and punched the tree one last time. Exhaling deeply I walked away from the tree and near my sword. I smiled and looked at the wolf.

"Well, it is true," I feel my cheeks go hot as I remembered her soft lips on my cheek but suddenly I felt cold when I remembered her words. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Your fate will be the same no matter what path you take," She said and leaned her head on my shoulder. "Will you continue on living, even if you will be left alone on a mountain of corpses and an ocean of blood?"

I paled as the vision of the white-haired man and a sword under a tree intensified and several words that I cannot comprehend were said. 

My nose felt warm as the scent of decayed bodies and blood invaded my nose, I gagged and covered my hand as I vomited while trying to stop it. 

So many bodies, so many lives wasted for a selfish wish. I want to die, I want to die! I can't do this! I can't be a hero! Heroes do not exist!  Everything that I believed in shattered. Hot tears slid under my eyes as I stood in all fours.

Suddenly I felt something. It was warm and suddenly I saw the white-haired man looking at me happily and his hand on my shoulder. He spoke in a language that I was currently learning. Warmth enveloped me as I felt myself being embraced by the beautiful girl. 

She wrapped her arms around me despite me being taller and smelling like bile and vomit. "Don't worry, even if no one will stand with you anymore I will be here with you until the end,"

I looked at her with dead eyes, I can't see any lie on her eyes that glowed dimly, so mesmerizing, so beautiful. She smiled and let go of the hug after what seemed to be an eternity.

"Who are you?" I asked her and she merely smiled.

"Someone who is connected to you. I'm Chrona, the Goddess of time, balance, life and death." She said and I looked at her in shock. A goddess? Wow. I must be lucky or my life is being like this because a stupid author decided to this kind of shit because he does not have any original ideas left on his brain. 

"I saw what will happen to your future and all the paths that you will take in your journey. All of them will be-" she said but I interrupted her by smiling and rubbing her head. A reflex I gained whenever I see Sapphire sad and wanting to cheer her up.

"Don't, you out of all people know how dangerous it is to mess with your domain," I cut her off gently, after all, when I accepted this job I knew that it will not end well for me. 

"I see," Chrona said sadly thinking for a while before smiling happily and she waved her hand before covering my eyes. I blinked and was about to push her off when a bright light appeared on her eyes and it blinded me for a while.

"What the hell?! Shit, that fucking hurts!" I cried out as I felt my eyes being burned. seriously woman! What the hell was that for?  glaring at her I was about to shout at her when I noticed my vision was not blurry anymore. I was also able to see clearly at a longer distance. 

"This is my gift to you, Ren. I upgraded your eyesight and your ability to look into the future. It's up to you how you would find them out," Chrona said as she spun around and removing her hairbands letting her beautiful hair out. "I have to go now Ren, but don't forget that I will have to make you do something for me alright?" She said before disappearing in a flurry of broken glass as the world around me slowly regained color. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"'Hey Wahrheit how did I do?" I asked the sword and it merely glowed a bit before transforming to a wolf as big as a stallion and it looked at the tree. 

He looked at the tree and barked at the tree and it exploded

'Woah partner! Do you need to create something as deadly as this technique?'

"Yes, I decided to go down this path to protect life. But, not as a hero but a guardian."

'Ugh, If you decided to say some shit about being the loveable hero that can do no wrong then I would have left you here.'

I smiled and rubbed Wahrheit's head. "Don't worry, I promise I won't be a hero like that. Besides, do you seriously think I am a hero material?" I asked and struck a pose similar to Ca#sa# Ze##eli 

'Nope!' Wahrheit immediately answered without any hesitation on his voice.

I laughed gently as I wiped a tear from my eye. 

"Wahrheit we will be going on a journey for a while what do you say?" I asked my companion as he merely yawned and stretched his body.

'Sure partner! but, you need to put this n your report first.'

Wahrheit reminded me as I looked to the bodies in front of me, all wearing armor under hooded cloaks. Tch! Spies trying to smuggle information out of the Ignia eh? Too bad they met someone like me. Too bad but I played so many tactical games that involve a lot of espionage and counter-espionage. I took out a flask from under my clothes and dumped its contents on to the bodies. 

"Nothing personal Guys," I told them as one of the guys who were still not dead yet groaned as I took everything that is of value to them. 

"What are you?" The man asked weakly as I took a zippo, one that I took from the corpses before lighting a Cuban cigar. I took a puff of smoke and breathed it out before throwing the zippo to the bodies as fire embraced them. 

"I just need to tie up some loose ends," I said as I waited for all of them to be burnt. I merely looked at them, it makes me want to vomit but seeing the corpses from that vision numbed me somehow as well as my first kill. I sighed and dropped the Cuban Cigar and coughed the smoke out. 

'I give it 7 out 10' Wahrheit said as he motioned for me to ride his back while carrying my loot. 'It was perfect but then you decided to cough and ruin that cool scene.'

"Screw you," I said weakly before He ran towards the mansion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sat down in the middle of the room beside Master, and my partner, Mavis, looking at a pair of dragons. I took my cup of coffee and sipped it and stared. The dragons stared back. I put the cup down on the table. Suddenly master decided to cut the tension by waving his hand and the dragons turned into a man and a woman. A King and a Queen

They merely stared at me as their companions on the corners of the room all looked prepared to act within a moment. 

"Father please stop that," Mavis calmly said as the unseen tension on the room suddenly vanished and her father appeared by our side and already has his arms out to embrace his daughter. 

"MAVIS!" The king cried out before his face met the Mavis' hand stopping him on his tracks as the Queen merely sighed in annoyance. It must be nice to be like that. 

"Father," Mavis nodded and she was hugged by her father tightly. 

"MAVIS! papa was so worried that you were hurt especially since you are here close to a man!" He glared childishly at me. What the fuck?

"Father please stop acting childishly," Mavis pleaded, her cheeks burning brightly as I laughed at her reaction a bit.

"Fine..." The king said sadly as a cloud formed above his head but it disappeared when he looked at me. I felt as if I was being stared at a predator and reacting on instinct I jumped away from the couch, hand on the handle of my whip chain and several chains surrounding me. Huh? nothing happened. I looked at the king who merely nodded at me. 

"Thank you for taking care of my daughters," He said sincerely as I relaxed and dispelled my chains. That was a high-level killing intent.

'Relax partner. He does not want to kill us.'

Thanks, bud, knew I can count on you. I sent a nod to the wolf hidden in the shadows whose only reminder was the pair of dimly glowing eyes.

"It's nothing your majesty," I told him sincerely as I went back to my seat warily.  "After all, after spending so much time with them, I started to see them as sisters."

"Is that so?" I smiled and saw Mavis smile as well as she punched me playfully.

"I thought you loved me, after all that happened to us," She teased trying to get a rise out of me, but spending a lot of time with her I was now resistant to the teasing.

"Well, I would be romantically in love with you if you do not try to turn me into a fillet every day, besides you do know that I love you... as a sister that is," I told her cheekily as she twitched and the royal couple merely looked at us in surprise. The queen merely smiled at us.

"But anyway since we are all here I have something to let you know of," I told them and I blew a whistle as Warhrheit jumped out of the shadows while carrying my loots. The soldiers look surprised as I handed the king several letters that I kept close to my person. Taking the letters the King's eyes widened as he read them.

"How did you get this?" The king asked as he handed them to the leader of his guard who barked orders from the others.

"I always found it odd that doves and crows would fly near the mansion, normally if it belongs to a flock I won't pay much mind about it but since it always comes almost every day..." I paused and blushed a bit. "I decided to shoot it and found a note tied onto its leg. I decided to pay no mind to it, then the next day I killed several birds and found another one with a note on its leg again," I laughed nervously before rubbing the back of my head as they all stared at me.

"After several days of killing birds with noted on its legs, I saw a bird with a scroll case on it's back. instead of killing it, I followed them and saw a hooded figure talking to a group of men. I was able to hear what they were saying without getting caught by doing camouflage and blending in the environment. I was able to hear something about invasion and assassination." I noticed that they were all listening to me intently and I continued.

"I found out they were all humans and heard that they will meet again a few days later at the same location. I waited for a while after they left and returned here taking my whip chain and cloak stained with mud and waited for the spy and killed him by hanging him from a tree. I saw the letters that contain many of Ignia's condition so I decided to kill the receivers, after all, they were so confident and stupid enough to believe that they will not be seen. Stupid idiots," I said with venom, after all, assassins should stick to the shadows and do what they need to without any distractions. Hearing this the audience merely sweatdropped.

"I took the spies clothes and impersonated as him and pretended to give them the documents and killed them quickly by using my chains and stabbing those close to me, then took everything of value as well as anything that can be used as identifications and kidnapped someone that looks valuable," They all look at me in shock. What? "About the bodies don't worry I disposed of them and before coming back here I made sure to lose my tracks by doing twenty rounds around the mountain."

"But for you to do that you must be talented or highly experienced in counterintelligence and espionage. And according to father, you didn't show any combat training but for you to know of those techniques who are you?" The king asked me and I sighed.

"I'm just a normal guy who was able to see the life of different lives of people in their shoes. And someone who lost something that made me hold back myself from doing things I won't normally do." I said sadly as I remembered her. "Someone who was tasked to protect this world until the demon king is defeated."

A group of four wearing eastern clothes and armor walks around the forests under a mountain. 

"Big brother! I can see the ocean now!" A highly energetic female voice called out to the only male of the group who has black hair and a sword on hip

"Calm down Mao-cha," The guy said before a beautiful Brunette with pink tips on her hair sighed and merely patted her handle.

"I don't wanna!" The girl shouted as the woman on his right merely looked happy.

"Be careful Little Sis."
