[This OC is inspired by Goblin Slayer]

The Danger Beasts, or Risk Species, are some of the most powerful creatures to walk the earth. Their powers were nearly unmatched, their hostility a bargain for death. Only the strongest of man have ever slain these beast, even then they need the aid of specialized weapons made to defeat these monstrous creatures. However, there is a rumor... More or less a fact, that there's a knight hellbent on bringing the danger beast into extinction. As such, they often call him the strongest human in the country, considering he have slain more danger beast than the ordinary soldier. In fact, no one person even with an Imperial Arms have killed multiple danger beast in a single day. Some say he is noble, but others considered him a monster similar to General Esdeath only to the Danger beast. A hunter kills for sport or meal, a Slayer kills.

. . . . .

Despite trailing through the blizzard of the northern region, Esdeath is still determine to catch up to the tribe to finally end the feud. However, her army is getting weaker by the minute and the next snowstorm isn't too far off. However, she still needs to complete the mission, no matter the cost.

The roaring sound of a monster tells Esdeath and her army that a danger beast is nearby. They readied themselves for the eventual arrival of the danger beast, awaiting a monster many wouldn't dare to face. However, the thunderous roars that were heard before, slowly turned into wails of pain. Off in the distance, they saw a danger beast in battle. But with who? Getting closer, they spotted a man in armor using an imperial arms, based on the fact that no weapon would be able to do such a thing. His imperial arms noticably have a red, yellow and  orange glow with dark plates of metal surrounds it. The less it glows the more solid the construct is. The man pulled onto his imperial arms, launching him high in the air people taking his longsword and plunged the blade into the eye of the beast. The beast had some fight left, before the man's weapon heated up, melting the brain of the danger beast before it came crashing down to the cold ground - death have came to claim its soul.

Esdeath is impressed to say the least - that a lone man in armor have managed to slay a danger beast - so walked towards him, who he proceeded to take his sword out from the now dead Danger beast.

Esdeath: Hello.

The man turned to greet Esdeath and her army, while the former us right in front of him.

"Yes?"

Esdeath: I see the work you've been doing. What are you doing out here?

"Killing Danger Beast. This one in particular is for a request by a tribe not far from here."

Esdeath: "Not far huh? I wonder."  Would you be kind to lead us to this tribe? A snowstorm is coming.

"Hmm... Sure. Come on."

The armored man sheathed his weapon and begin to lead Esdeath and her army towards the direction of the tribe. However possibly unknown not him, Esdeath would used this to her advantage of finally destroying the rebelling tribe.

It was a long walk, but eventually they see smoke and light off into the distance - a sign of a community. They continued onwards to the tribe, till they reached the front gate, with a guard stationed there. Esdeath took the opportunity to close off the area around the tribe with ice walls.

"Impressive..."

Esdeath: Alright men. Get them!

As soon as the orders were given, the men in arms started to go raiding the tribe, fighting any who dare fights back. Meanwhile, the man in armor casually walked through the chaos and sat on a log nearby the campfire. Even with the screams of agony around him, he wondered two things: What did these people do that provoked the Empire? And Why did the Empire decided to use violence than negotiate? He could think of many things, but in reality he just needed a place to warm up. Esdeath was going about her daily routines, yet is keen on the man in armor. He could potentially be part of the Jaegers, but that needs a bit more work to it.

The Hero of the tribe comes down as he managed to decimate at least a quarter of the imperial army.

"So you're back."

The Hero turn to his right to see the man in armor that he have hired to kill the Danger Beast that have been lurking around his tribe's territory.

Esdeath: About time Hero.

Hero: General Esdeath of the Imperial army. Call off your forces or so be dealt with.

"About that payment."

Hero: The payment. I'll add more to the payment if you will help me kill this murderer.

The armored man turned to Esdeath then to the Hero. After evaluating the situation, he gave his answer: "No."

Hero: What? Why?

"I only kill the Danger Beast you sent me to. I won't kill others, unless if it's necessary. Besides, you've already sealed a deal, no adding nor subtracting."

Esdeath: Good choice. Now, surrender or face the punishment.

The Hero answered the General's question with violence. And so they have had a lengthy battle, to which everyone is watching, until the Hero landed face first in front of the man in armor.

"So about that payment."

Hero: [Cough] You won't get any payment, if I'm dead.

"Ok."

Esdeath: You did well hero. But unfortunately, there's no one else to save you now.

Hero: Even if I'll die, I will not stop till my tribe is saved.

Esdeath: Are you sure about that?

"Are you sure about that?"

The Hero took a bit to read, then realizes that the entire tribe have been captured by the few remaining Imperial officers, all eager to execute without hesitation.

Hero: Please. Leave them alone. I'll be their sacrifice.

Esdeath: [Laugh] you think I'll fall for that trick? No. Because as most people like you said: "There will always be another to stop you." Again and again I've been hearing that quote over and over. It's rather pointless now.

Hero: Leave them alone. I beg of you, please.

By the sound of the wind chime as well as layer of fog above the wall, signifies that the snowstorms are here.

"Storms here." The man gets off the log before standing up. "We better go get into shelters. No man could survive the storm for too long."

Esdeath: Hmm... Well if that's the case then -

Esdeath got close to the Hero's face and speak directly to him, "Let's see if they can survive the cold."

Moments pass since then and the storm have finally breached the ice wall. The Imperial Officers, General Esdeath and the man in armor were in the buildings and huts, while the Hero is forced to witness his fellow tribe members slowly dying to the cold. The Hero was forced to be strapped onto a cross to mitigate movement and the occasional whipping to keep him awake. Esdeath has taken the pleasure of being the torturer of the Hero, while the man in armor took his time to rest on the abandoned bed without his armor on.

After giving the "Hero" a good whip, Esdeath came to check on the man, who she sees is very much resting on the bed. Still, even without the armor on him, Esdeath didn't take the time to get a good look on the man's face - his face being covered by a mask. Even then, it didn't stop the General from taking a peek at the man's face. By the looks of it, despite fighting Danger Beasts for who knows how long, he has relatively few scars on his face. Not much of it, though Esdeath is blushing a bit, even if she doesn't know what is the man's age.
