《Trying to live the life of a mortal (or almost) Hiatos》 Prologue Prologue At the top of a mountain were two men, an old man and a young man, who were imprisoning a tombstone, named Ares Eros. (Old): "Master Ares, what is this?" (Ares): "Keep the child still, Ares is dead, my ... my name is Mikhael!" (Old): "But master" (Mikhael): "Quiet Nas, I do not want to go back" (Nas): "Why master?" (Mikhael): "Why is it boring!" (Nas): "..." (Mikhael): "Nas, I decided that I will try to live like a mortal!" He was silent after hearing this, shortly after, a portal opened beside Mikhael, who looked at Nas. (Mikhael): "Come on!" He was staring at the emptiness, trying to understand why. Quickly Nas returned to his senses when he saw Mikhael enter the portal and shouted. (Nas): "Master, wait for me!" When Nas finished screaming ran after Mikhael, upon entering the portal, Mikhael and Nass were on a beach of green water, facing the sunset on the horizon, asked Nas. (Nas): "Master here is?" (Mikhael): "I do not know Nas" (Mikhael): "We should not look for a village or a city so we can know more!" (Nas): "Yes master"If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. (Mikhael): "But before that, change your appearance, I do not want to explain to people why there is an old man calling me a master." He nodded and changed his mind to that of an 18 year old boy. (Nas): "Is it to your liking Master?" (Mikhael): "Yes, now we have a long way to go!" (Nas): "But master we can fly" Mihael looked at Nas and frowned. (Mikhael): "Nas and if you have a village nearby? We can cause an unwanted commotion" When Mikhael had just rebuked Nas, Mikhael heard a noise and looked back and saw a child staring at them, paralyzed by Mikhael''s gaze, who asked him coolly. (Mikhael): "Young man, how long have you heard us?" (Child): "Sir, I just got here" Said the child, whose legs were shaking and with cold sweat on the forehead and back with Mikhael''s red cold eyes staring at him. (Mikhael): "Lie" The child slightly shuddered after Mikhael screamed. (Mikhael): "Answer once more how long have you been listening to us?" (Child): "Lord, I came here, I did not hear anything" (Nas): "Master, I think he''s telling the truth" Nas quickly interrupted the questioning, fearing that his master lost control. The expression of the child increased significantly after these words, Mikhael returned to look at Nas and asked. (Mikhael): "Why?" (Nas): "Because if he had really been here all along he would have been crushed with the presence of the portal" After that brief explanation, Mikhael looked at the child before asking. (Mikhael): "What''s your name?" (Child): "It''s Regin, sir" (Mikhael): "Do you have a place to go back?" (Regin): "No" After these two questions, the child began to feel shaken, Mikhael realized that this changed the focus of the questions. (Mikhael): "What''s the name of this country?" (Regin): "Kingdom of Han" (Mikhael): "Which is the nearest town or town?" (Regin): "The nearest town is called Neesk" After answering those questions, Nas asked Mikhael. (Nas): "Master, why do not we take him with us, he knows this place and, moreover, he reminds me when the master received me" Then Mikhael looked indescribably at Nas before speaking. (Mikhael): "If you really want to take him, then you will take care of him" After hearing this, Nas walked up to the child and crouched in front of him and asked with a gentle smile on his face. (Nas): "Child, do you want to go with us?" (Regin): "I ... I want to!" Nas felt very happy making him smile, Mikhael who was watching the scene began to feel a new headache coming. (Nas): "You said your name is Regin right?" (Regin): "Right" (Nas): "Regin I''ll be your mentor as long as you care for us so try to hear me if you have any questions you can call me" (Regin): "Yes" Mikhael hastily interrupted them. (Mikhael): "If you''re finished, we have to go, Regin points the way to Neesk!" Finishing to add a new member to the group, Mikhael, Nas and Regin started walking down the road toward Nessk. Chapter-1 Chapter 1 "The city Nessk and becoming an adventurer" Still on the road to Neesk town, Mikhael''s group is attacked by bandits, low ranking magical animals, after all this the group is camping near a stream east of Nessk. Regin curious about some matters asked Nas. (Regin): "Mr. Nas, may I ask you something?" (Nas): "Of course anything" (Regin): "Then I will not hesitate, Mr. Nas, how did you know Master Mikhael?" (Nas): "It was in the middle of the age of the gods, at the time I was a beggar and nameless boy who lived in an old hut in the forest, so I walked to the street of the market of the city, to ask for some alms for me to be able have what to eat " After a brief sigh Nas continued the story. (Nas): "Then I found a cane with the head of a dragon in the crimson color with the rest of his body in black that had just fallen from the master, I ran to find him and return the cane but the master was already gone " (Nas): "After having some money, I went back to the hut in the forest, seeing the door of the hut open I feared that they tried to steal the little that I had, entering I saw the master waiting for me and said that I found something that belonged, I nodded and returned the cane to the master " (Nas):"After returning the cane, the master looked at me and asked me if it was really there that I really lived I replied that yes, after I asked my name I replied that he had no name, the master looked at me and asked if I I wanted to go with him I quickly nodded, then the master gave me the name Nas " Regin was quiet from the beginning to the end he felt sad for Nas, who asked (Nas): "Anything else to ask?" (Regin): "Yes, where did the master come from?" (Nas): "This I do not know to answer you only know that the master was born in the primordial chaos" (Mikhael): "Hey, what are you talking about?" (Nas): "About when I met the master" After the three of them talked, they set up their stalls and went to sleep. Dawn, they all began to move again to Nessk, Regin seeing the entrance of Nessk warned the group, which quickly crossed the entrance, Nas asked the guards where the guild of the adventurers was. At the entrance to the guild of the adventurers, Nas asked Mikhael. (Nas): "Master why do you want to become an adventurer? Would not the master want to live like a mortal?"This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. (Mikhael): "What a silly question is this first we have to know this world afterwards I will prerego myself with this and one more thing you can not call me master in there" Nas and Regin nodded, and the three began to enter, entering into the guild the group went to the counter where the attendant is to make their inscriptions. (Mikhael): "We want to become adventurous" (Attendant): "Wait a moment, now let''s test your strength to give you your ratings" (Nas): "Wait, what are the grades?" (Attendant): "are E, D, C, B, A, S and SS" Following the attendant to a kind of arena, where an old, muscular man was waiting for them, the attendant was surprised when she saw this man. (Old): "I see you brought new aspirants to adventurer" (Attendant): "Yes" The old man set his eyes on Mikhael and then got cold sweat on his back feeling the retracted aura that Mikhael emanated that was practically the same aura of an ancient sleeping beast. (Old): "Sure think you''ll start to examine the" (Old): "Follow me, I''ll examine you" The group began to follow the old man who was increasingly pressed with the withdrawn aura of Mikhael and began to speak internally. (Old): "I''d better hand over these ratings before I collapse" The group was surprised to see the amount of sweat on the back of the old man who walked quickly, stopping the old man begins to speak. (Old): "You must defeat the beast that is there" The old man pointed to a rusty gate, after everyone looked at the gate, Mikhael walked over to Regin and asked in a voice only Regin could hear. (Mikhael): "Do you know how to use magic or ki?" (Reguin): "I do not know" After Regin answered, Mikhael placed his index finger on Regin''s forehead. (Mikhael): "Now you know" Mikhael walked to the gate and took out a cane and pulled the blade out of it and walked to the gate. (Mikhael): "Let it be fun at least" After muttering something Mikhael opened the gate and walked towards the magic beast with a slight disappointment, after killing the magic beast with a finger, Mikhael came back with his head. Then it was Nas''s turn and it happened as it was Mikhael, after returning with the beast''s head, it was Regin''s turn. Regin crossed the gate and found the two corpses of magical beasts without their heads, continuing to walk Regin saw a magical beast of low level and was advancing against her. The magical beast soon caught Regin''s action and dodged his attack and scratched his arm leaving a bloody mark, and the beast soon charged Regin, seizing his moment of instability and bit his leg by digging his fangs into the bone of Regin''s leg, who swiftly struck his sword at the beast''s neck, almost killing her instantly. Regin unable to walk could only wait for the beast to attack to counter attack, outside Mikhael was bored hoping Regin came back and spoke to Nas. (Mikhael): "Give me a chair, I''m tired of waiting for this child" He nodded and pulled out a chair from his storage ring and passed it to Mikhael, the old man who was from a distance was stunned by the storage ring, and murmured internally. (Old): "Better to do nothing or this place can be reduced to nothing, better send a letter to your majesty not to intrude on them" Hearing the sound of the gate being opened they looked at Regin, all bloody holding the head of a magical beast. (Old): "Well you passed the test now you are adventurous class D" (Old): "I was already forgetting you can increase your ranking by completing orders now you are rank D you should start by making the orders of class D, now they will" The group went outside the guild and they walked to an inn where they stayed until the morning (Mikhael): "Let''s make a class D request" Nas and Regin nodded and headed toward the guild of the adventurers. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 "A Training for Regin" Looking at the bulletin board, Nas chose a D-rank order to kill some goblins who afflicted a farmer. (Nas): "Master, I have chosen this request so that we can begin to gather some points" (Mikhael): "Well, but we need to do something with Regin''s training, you saw how he got it after fighting this magical beast" (Nas): "Master Regin is only 13 years old, it is normal for him to have these types of injuries" (Mikhael): "But at his age he was already killing bandits and creatures of chaos" (Nas): "Master, you are not Regin" (Mikhael): "It''s true that I forget, but this request tells me about it" (Nas): "Of course, this is a group of goblins who attack a farm and the farmer issued this request to kill these goblins" (Mikhael): "It could be a good training for Regin, call him and we''ll go to this farm to kill some goblins" As he nodded and went to Regin, after calling Regin, the group is on the road to the west of Nessk, arriving at the ranch, Nas told the farmer to point the direction of the elves'' den. To the north of the farm, the group stops in front of a cave and Mikhael begins to speak. (Mikhael): "Now that we''ve come, let me tell you something, Regin, this will be a training for you, so do it willingly, now go" Regin nodded and started to enter the cave and soon saw two goblins patrolling the area and soon Regin hid behind a rock to attack. After the elves had passed, Regin cut the two goblins into their necks, which soon fell to the ground without their heads, Regin gave a brief sigh and turned to continue, still inside the lava Regin saw hundreds of elves that were centered in bonfires with stacks of dead animals behind them.Reading on this site?

Regin swallowed and stealthily advanced toward the nearest group to kill them, out of the vault Mikhael and Nas were talking. (Nas): "Master, have I always had a curiosity about how the era of primordial chaos is over?" (Mikhael): "It''s over when the 100 primordial beasts were killed" (Nas): "And how long did the era of primordial chaos last?" (Mikhael): "I think it was a few billion years ago" Nas was surprised by the last response and became increasingly interested in the subject and kept asking more and more until irritating Mikhael. Returning to Regin, who was now covered in blood, he fought against forty elves, getting more and more pressed and with his ki ending, Regin shouted and fiercely advanced to the elves killing them with a stroke or two after a Regin strode to Mikhael and Nas and spoke before fainting from exhaustion. (Regin): "It''s ready!" (Mikhael): "Well, charge and clean" He nodded and began to clean Regin and took him back to the inn while Mikhael went to get the reward in the guild of the adventurers. Arriving in front of the attendant, Mikhael said. (Mikhael): "I have come to collect the reward of this request" (Attendant): "Alright, I''ll catch you waiting here" Waiting patiently, Mikhael heard someone calling after him and saw that it was the old man who was examining them. (Old): "I thought you had gone to complete an order" (Mikhael): "Wrong, I''ve completed and I''m here to get the reward" (Old): "Oh, so how did it go?" (Mikhael): "You got it wrong, it was not me, I ruined the goblins was Regin, this basically served as a good workout for him" (Old): "How can a 13-year-old boy do that?" (Mikhael): "I do not know why all this drama, I already killed some thugs of the age" (Old): "you what?" (Attendant): "Here is your reward, sir" The clerk said he handed over twenty pieces of silver to Mikhael, who was still talking to the old man. (Mikhael): "Thank you, beautiful lady" Then Mikhael turned to leave after saying goodbye to the old man and the clerk, still walking toward the boarding house thinking about whether he should go to a tavern or not. Entering the inn, Mikhael went to the room where Nas and Regin were, and saw Nas looking after Regin''s wounds. (Mikhael): "Hey kid here is your reward" Mikhael spoke, then tossed the twenty silver coins into Regin. (Regin): "Thank you Master" (Mikhael): "Because you''re thanking me it was you who killed the goblins alone" (Mikhael): "Now rest and we''ll leave this city when you get better" (Regin): "Yes master" After a few days, Regin recovered and now they were hired to protect a commercial convoy that would go to the capital of the kingdom. (Nas): "Master of the train leader said it would take a week to reach the capital" (Mikhael): "Then wait and protect the train" Then the train began to travel to the capital with the estimate of arriving there in a week if there are no interruptions Chapter 3 Chapter 3 "Finding an Old Friend" Two days later, in the royal palace, a messenger brought a letter to King Conlin Han. (Messenger): "Your majesty told me to bring a letter to you" (Conlin): "A letter, whose is it?" (Messenger): "Who sent the letter was Yan Ard his majesty" (Conlin): "Right now you can go" (Messenger): "With your permission" Having fulfilled his purpose the messenger left leaving the king alone in the throne room, the king with the letter in his hands wondered what urgent matter the old Yan has to deal with. Opening the letter the king soon saw the following words that were highlighted with a red paint "DO NOT OFFEND THIS PERSON" with the rest of the letter describing Mikhael and how it was a possibility that he was a person of the Kingdom of the Gods. (Conlin): "Why did old Yan send me this?" (Conlin): "This can not be a good thing, better tell the royal ancestor about it" The king turned away from the throne room and went to warn the royal ancestor to ask how to proceed with the cituation. (Conlin): "Ancestor real old Yan sent me this letter, and I do not know how to proceed with it" (Real ancestor): "Well, since you do not know how to proceed, pass me this letter" Passing the letter to the royal ancestor, after reading quickly the royal ancestor spoke.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. (Real ancestor): "Well, if Yan said that you might have to be careful about it, the treaty says that if we do not offend they will not do anything" (Real ancestor): "I will investigate this subject, I recommend that you speak with your children not to offend him" The king nodded and went towards his sons. Mikhael''s group was standing in their camp at the edge of a campfire, Mikhael suddenly felt a familiar aura approaching him, standing up Mikhael walks to the fountain of that aura. (???): "Oh, I did not expect to find Ares here" (Mikhael): "And neither am I nor am I, Ares, Loan" (Loan): "Then who are you?" (Mikhael): "I''m Mikhael, Loan, but what are you doing here?" (Loan): "Why did not you feel the fluctuations of chaotic energies in this world?" (Mikhael): "No, I just got here" (Loan): "Oh I thought you were here to investigate" (Loan): "But beware people who want to rekindle the primordial flame and revive Elahjia" (Mikhael): "This has always had but try to revive Elahjia this is news" (Loan): "It is not, when I heard this I was surprised too" (Mikhael): "Leaving this aside, are the others here too?" (Loan): "Of course they are not here, it''s been a long time since they left their castles full of luxury" (Mikhael): "I thought they had changed after so long" (Loan): "Some things do not change my old friend, but now I have to go then goodbye" (Mikhael): "Goodbye old friend" After bidding farewell to Loan, Mikhael returned to the camp and sat by the fire. (Nas): "Master you look happy something good must have happened (Mikhael): "Yes I just saw a friend" (Nas): "Which of them would be master?" (Mikhael): "And why do you want to know Nas?" (Nas): "I for nothing, but to make the master be in a good mood this friend should be special" (Mikhael): "Well he only helped me in the battle against Thycar before Elahjia" (Nas): "Master who is Thycar and Elahjia?" (Mikhael): "I thought to have said before, well Thycar and Elahjia were the last two primordial beasts, Elahjia was the most powerful among them and Tourocar was the second" After the two were talking, the leader of the convoy called everyone to continue going to the capital
