She had black hair and a slim body that wore clothes that are well tailored, she really was from a different world. As she open her eyes, her blue eyes that gives life to the ocean as she survey the area around her. As she stared at the knight he gave a confused look at what she saw, it was the first meeting between the knight and the hero... Chapter 1: The hero that likes to fight I feared at what i saw, A pile of corpse whith broken weapons everywhere, countless knights were motionless as a single girl was smiling in the feild while staring at me. Now let me recall why did this happened... ¡î¡î¡î¡î On the throne room, knights, nobles were staring at the girl in front of them. The king gave a smile at the girl as he bowed from his throne. "We welcome you, oh great hero. We have been driven from our lands as the great demon and his army had rule about 3/4 of the continent. We are hereby apologize for summoning you, but we had need of your abilities in reclaiming our lands and defeat the demons." The king had been bowing as he had needed extreme help. The people were shocked at the humiliation the king had shown. The girl stood silently as she stared at the king with unfazed eyes. As she said one thing to the king...

She had defeated the knights without breaking. She was looking for more opponents as she search the area. When her eyes met mine, an evil smile surface from her. With her long hair that swayed with the air, she came towards me. I tried to escape but someone was holding my arm, it was the princess. ''Do your best.'' Is what her eyes conveyed to me. I could not escape from the fate of being the heroes opponent (toy). Chapter 2: Is the hero weaker than me? On the field, me and the hero are now facing off. She had unsheath her sword as she prepares her stance. I followed suit as she smile at me. "What''s your name?" "Um...Crixus. Lady Hero." "Just call me May, Crix." "Y-yes! Lady May." "..." She became furious as she trust her sword at me. Her movements were beutiful and handling the sword was beautiful but one thing had made me think. Why is she slow? As i dodge her thrust, she gave an upward slash. I bend by body sideways as to avoid her attack. She became even more pissed as i dodge her attacks. As we faught, her breathing became ragged as she was now swinging blindly. It became easier to dodge as she glared with me with killing intent. The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. "Why don''t you fight back?" May spoke to me in a loud voice as she was swinging the sword. I just dodge her attacks because i would injure her. In a moment, one of her foot slip and she was falling. I quickly run towards her as she was falling. I didn''t notice that she use that moment to thrust her sword. *Stab* "Why..." May was baffled at what happend. Who could blame her? I caught her as she was falling while my abdomen was thrusted by a sword. Blood was slattered everywhere as she was was shaking. "I''m....glad...." I lost consciousness as the girl in front of me was crying... Chapter 3: Together I woke up as i stared at the celing. I don''t know how long had i been sleeping since that time. My head is still dizzy because of a slight blood loss. I was about to move my arm but... Its stuck... Hey, why can''t i move my arm? Am i being torture now that i almost killed the hero? Damn, i should have wrote my will beforehand. "Hmn..." ?? What was that? I heard a moan? Where''s it comming from? I turn my head to the sides. A girl was sleaping beside me while holding onto my arm. ..... (Hahaha) Why would a girl visit someone like me? I ain''t a popular type. Most would like my brother.... Dammit why do i always get depress every time i metioned my brother? Haah, no use thinking about him. Now back to my situation.... "Ngn....." Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere.

Were not going to last much longer." "We will give our all." "Captain..." "Men! When i met you guys, you were trash. Now? You are my comrades to this day. We won''t survive this battle but i want you guys to know that we will reach paradise. Thank you for being with me." """Yes sir!""" "For paradise!" """For paradise!""" ------------------------------------------------- I did''t notice that i fell unconsious again and when i woke up, blood had covered the bed, my blood. Chapter 4: (HIDDEN TITLE) Cold air passed by as i was being stared at by a girl, the hero of the kingdom, May. ""..."" Total silence..... I was nervous as to why she was here. But she was not the only one staring at me... *Glare* .......The King was outside the door, giving off a killing intent at me. Is he like an overprotective father? And even the guards beside him are ready to rip me apart. In the akward silence, May spoke up first. "Why...." ?? Why? "Why didn''t you evade? You could have done so? Why?" ..... "Why did you make me fall for you?!" "I''m sorry that i held onto you to save myself!" Because the king would likely cut my head if i somehow got you hurt and- huh? The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. "...." "..." An akward silence....... "Um, what did you said was now?" "..." Her face turned red. She glared at me like she wants to kill me. She stood up and quickly ran through the door. But before she left, "Idiot!" And disappear from my sight. I breathed out a sign of relief but.... "Guards, please bring this man to the torture chamber." "With pleasure, your majesty." The king looked at me like i stole her daughter and the guards were happy to make me suffer....this is an unlucky day..... Chapter name: i fall in love with you Chapter 5: Adventuring Together Today, i here with her as we were caming at the woods. As to why i here with her is something i was confused about... ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î I was finally free from hell. My body was being beaten up by all of thr tools in the torture chamber. And the scariest thing is that after my body was bruised and dislocated, by using magic, they reattached and healed my body and then restarting the process again. The king with a satisfied expression, face the hero with a serious expression. "I''m sorry that i had to summonedyou to battle for our kingdom and you don''t even need to do that. I send this bastard in your place instead." He pointed his finger at me as he said that. Dafaq? Then why summon a hero? I have to fight the demons? "Or would you go back to that place ins-" "I''m willing to fight for the kingdom, your majesty." Hell no! That place is hell. I would rather fight the demon god that to face the hell course the king gave me. But the hero spoke up. Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. "No, i want to fight the demon king" May stared at the king and looked at me. She contined but a little soft tone. "And... besides, i-i want to fight t-together with him." She blushed a little and looked away from me. The king was very pissed at me. "I had to accept that but i''ll have you choose someone else as your companion." The king denied of me being a companion to her but she plead to the king. "I want him to be my comrade." As her puppy dog eyes stared at the king. I think that i saw his heart that was written as ''daddy heart'' being shot by an arrow. The king was hesitant to answer until... "Dammit!" ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î And thats how i was the hero''s comapnion... Chapter 6: Dense... Evalia, a world divided into 4 races. Humans, Beastmen, Demi-humans and demons. Each divided the continent into four. Humans, on the Western part of the world, gathered and divided the place into 3 kingdoms. Holy Kingdom of Euranshia, where god of light, Aentila, was worship by the Church of Light. Arcadia Kingdom, mangage by the 5 magus council. And Faranus Kingdom, a war-loving kingdom that boast of its army. The Demi-human country that gathers most demi-humans like Dwarves, elves and faries and was led by the Elven King. The Beastmen country shere mostly seen humans that have animal like feature, like animal ears and tail. Discriminated by the Church of light because they were the hybrid between humans and monsters. And the Demon Country, having worship the Demon God, Maserno, only found at the opposite in the human country. Most hated in the whole continent. Once, all four had to unite in order to defeat the acient dragons that almost wipe the world but now each country is now in a continental war... ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î "Why do i have to carry you?" "Do you want a girl to walk by herself?" "Yeah." *Smack* "Ow." "Idiot..." Hey why am i an idiot? Does girls get tired so easily? Hmn... Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. At least we were close to the town of Trinis. Trinis is a small town that was close to the boarder of the human country and the central continent. Once outside the boarder, we would be in the center continent of Evalia. But we need more companions to help in our journey. So we headed to town to recruit some adventurers before heading out. We more safe if we could find some trustworthy companions. "Hmph!" What? Why are you riding my back and her-her chest is touching... ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î "Commander!" "Yes? Report soldier!" "We won''t hold it! It gonna blow!" "Damn, you should go." "But..." "Tell my wife, i can''t see my daughter''s wedding..." "Commander!" ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î "Hey, why are you crouching your back?" "Ah! It-it-its because i don''t want you to slide down." "...dense..." Hey, why are you turning red? Well, at least she didn''t see my sword got longer... We were now approaching the town of Trinis... Chapter 7: Why... "Hmn... we''ve arrived!" "Haah...haah..." My god, she kept shaking while her chest kept moving at my back. I almost didn''t made it. At least, we had arrive at Trinis. *Bang* "Ugh..." I couldn''t dodge in time. Too...tired.... No! I have a mission, if i fail, the king will torture me to death. "I''m sorry..." A young girl who had battered clothes as she apologizes to me. She was the one who charge at me. But she was grabbed by a muscular man. "You brat! You just had to cause trouble." As the man said that, he swing his hige arm at her but it was caught by May''s hand. Oh, just great! We just arrive here and trouble had occured after we''ve arrive. "Why would you hit on a young girl?" "Hmn? Get lost brat!" The man just shoo her away. Whew, i thought he would punch her. *Bang* May had sent the man flying. I jaw dropped because she punch that man. "Miss May! What the hell you doing? Why did you do that?" "Because he tried to hit her." As she said that, she pointed her finger to the young girl. Well duh, she is his slave. This isn''t the world where you can justify yourself. She is a slave and we don''t want him to make trouble for us. "Grrrr..." Now you made him angry. And he called out his goons. Were so fucked. "Now this is going to be fun." And her fighting spirit starts burning... Haah... i should at least do my job... Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î "That girl is strong but that knight is a monster!" "Run!" The men ran away as the three of use left. Now you had cause more trouble for this girl. "Thank you..." The girl apologizes as she bows to May gave a proud look. Haah, what am i going to do with her? "At least your safe." "..." "Whats wrong?" "Haah..." I should just tell her. "She is a slave to that man. If she escaped, that collar would kill her. You just gave her more suffering." "..." May became gloom as i said that. We can''t help her now. "Can you do something Crix?" He looked at me with puppy dog eyes. Ugh.... must resist temp- "...you win" As i said that, i approached the slave girl. I touched the collar as i put mana at the collar and after that... *Clank* The collar was removed. The girl let out a suprise expression as she hugged me. At least your free now. "You should g-" Before i could finished saying, she suddenly pulled my armor and kissed me. I slowly seperate from her as she also hugged May. Why is May immitating deadly aura? *bang* "Ugh..." My balls... Why... "Idiot..." She left me while i was looked by the girl as i groaned at my eggs being cracked... Chapter 8: Childhood love Once we''ve arrive at the adventure''s guild, i started to look for some adventurers who will help in our journey. May kept glaring at me while saying idiot. I just don''t understand women... ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î There were some people that i find trustworthy but May kept rejecting them since they were weak. It would take a long time before i could find some people. May called out to me as she wondered about that incident. "Crix! How did you unlock that girl''s collar?" "?" I tilted my head as she said that. Ah....so that how it is. Since she lived in a different world, she didn''t know how magic works here. But she was more curious as to how did i unlock that collar. "Um...its like countering the magic of the collar by infusing mine into the collar. If i put too much magic in it, i would have blown that girl''s head off." As i said that, she punch me in the stomach. She was mad at me that i almost killed the girl. But i didn''t have a choice, that was the only method i knew. But i still continue to speak. "By balancing the magical wavelength, i could destroy the magical seal and use force to quickly remove the collar so that it will not infuse the magic into the girl. If that happened, the girl will be poison with magical toxicity and die." The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. As i finished my words, May understand that it was hard to unlock the collar. Thats why i told her it was dangerous. I too don''t have experience in using that. If i told her that, she would probably kill me. We headed to the inn as a young girl in robe approached us. "Hey! Long time no see." "Eh?" "Ah!" As the girl took off her hood, i immediatly recognise her. She was my childhood friend who hang out with me. We were the same age as we play with my brother. She was an energetic girl while i was the scaredy cat. But i broke off from her as i never want to see her again. She was the person i care for, my first love, Silica. ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î "I''m sorry..." "..." That day, i realise that she already like someone. My heart broke down as ran away from her. I always thought to myself that i was seen special to her eyes but her heart had belong to someone. My brother... Chapter 9: I love you Now we were at a cafe as she introduce herself. May began to observe Silica as she smiled at us. "I am Silica von Vilion, a noble frome the house of Duke Vilion. Crixus and i hang out since we were kids." Silica smiled as she stared at me.Her Golden hair that shines in the sunlight as her red eyes sparkled like gems. I began to cough as May was squeezing my sides. Argh... it hurts! Why is she puffing her cheeks as she glared at me? Is she...jealous? Pff... how can she be jealous when she doesn''t even love me. (Arc: *Facepalm*) "..." A sad smile appeared on Silica as she look at us. She called out to me as she look down. "Umm...Crix?" "Hmn?" Why is she nervous? Its like she was confessing about something. "C-can you....umm....come with me....alone?" As she said that, May squeezed even harder. Ugh...i think she penetrated the skin. May glared at Silica as she look down. She then smiled at me as she was about to go. "Ah, it okay. Its nothing. You can reject if you wa-" "No, May, can you return to the inn?" Seeing her gloomed face, i knew that she was hiding something. I always see her when she was with my brother. I knew that if i let this chance go, i will regret this forever. May then glared at me as she scared of letting go of me. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. "Crix...um..." "I have to settle this or i''ll regret this for eternity." I glance to May as i was serious about something. As she saw my face, she then let go of my clothes as she whispered into my ear. "Don''t seperate from me..." As she said that, her face made a worried look as she became even more beautiful. I smiled her back as i went with Silica. But why did she said that? ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î "Is she your girlfriend?" "Pffff." As she said that, i was surprise. Dafaq did she say? May? My girlfriend? Hahahahaha. "No! She wouldn''t date someone like me. She doesn''t even love me." "...dense..." "Hmn? What did you say?" "Nothing..." As she said that, her face became relaxed as she took a glance at me. She made an erotic face as she lean on my body. "Crix...i..." "..." "...love you." ............ ...... ... I held on to her hand as she looked at me. I gave a smile... Chapter 10: I dont hate you "You don''t have to force yourself." "What?" I said that to Silica who became surprise. She didn''t expect my answer as she held on to me. "No Crixus, i really love you." She kept saying that as she gripped my hand. I glared at her who became teary as shivered. "You don''t have to lie, i always know that you love my brother. Even if i hurt myself, i wanted you to be happy." I smiled at her who became shocked. I walk away from her as i smiled. "I alreay give up on you. Please don''t have me suffer anymore." Even though i smiled, she saw me cried as i walked away from her... ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î "I know your there." "..." As i said that, May came out as i was surprise. I didn''t expect her to hear that. She nervously look down as i smiled. "I don''t hate you." As she look at me smiling, she became red as she confess. "I like you." As she said that, i replied as well. "I like you as well." I smiled at her who became happy. I still continued... Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. "...as a comrade." Being together with her, fighting off monsters and even slaying the demon god. Saving people as well, we would go on adventures with someone by your side. "Sir, could i borrow your sword?" "Alright miss and well help you out as well. Boys! We got some monster to hunt." May was given a sword as the people pulled out their weapons as well. Why? Is there a monster inside the town? While i was thinking... "Crixus, you should run." "Why?" Before she could respond... *swish* "Woah, hey what the-" "Uuuuu..." May began to get teary as the men charge at me. "Hey, what the hell are you doing?" "Were hunting a new monster. A dense monster." "Who''s that?" As they kept attacking me, i tilted my head as i was confused. The men pointed at me as they glared at me. "IDIOT!!!!!!" May swing the sword at me as i fell unconscious... Arc END: How to protect a hero It was going to be a normal day, or so i thought... ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î "Everyone, run! Monsters!" The town''s in chaos as a horde of monsters started to attack. The people started to ran away while the adventurers use the opportunity to earn some cash. It was a sudden for us since May was still beating me up while the horde approaches us. She felt stiff as she couldn''t move her body while the monsters were so close. Ah, dammit! "Crix...?" If she dies or something, the king will send me back to hell. I aint going back there! "Run! I don''t want you to get hurt." "..." I went to face the monsters as i pick up a nearby sword that one of the adventurers drop. The adventurer ran away while forgetting his sword. Maybe i should use this opportunity to score som- "Owowowowow. Why did you do that?" "...idiot! I''m the hero right? "..." ...Damn. but... "And i''m the knight who will protect you. Got it." "...Yeah." She blush a little as she begins go grin while we face off the horde of monsters. We may not suvive this battle, but i, at least will protect the hero... ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î Well...that was anti-climatic. There were many corpses around, monster corpses. The adventurers were shock as i had defeated some of the monsters. But as i turn around... "My god..." There were also monster corpses, but twice or thrice as much as mine. May brush off the blood as she begins to grin at me. "Hehehe, i win." Beautiful... "Beautiful..." "..." What? You were beautiful. Why are you angry at me? "Why can''t you-" "Watch ou-" A beam of light appreared as i push May away. The beam pass though my chest as i begin to cough up blood. May became shocked as there was a hole through my stomach. A loud voice begins to laugh. "Fools! Do you think that you-" "Shut up!" Before it could continue, it was cut in half as May glared at it with hate. It didn''t even finish his introduction and was kill of as if he was nothing. May rushes to me as her hand was covering the wound. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. "Crix! Don''t die!" ......................... "Please, don''t...i love you...please..." ......................... "Crix...?" ......................... "Crix! Nooo!" ......................... "Uuuu....." "Miss? I think you should get away-" "Shut up! He''s still alive right?" "Yeah, but your killing him." "..." ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î I was at a inn where there was the two of us. The room became awkward as i spoke first. "Um...May?" "..." "About the thing you said," "Uuuu...." May begins to cry as i was about go repreat the word she said. She cover her ears as she didn''t want to hear it. But i continued... "''I love...''" "Uuuuu..." "''...Run?''" "Eh?" "You love running, right? Hahaha, i thought you said you love me. Hahah-" "IDIOT! IDIOT! IDIOT! IDDDDDDIIIIIOOOOOOTTTTTTT!!!!!!!" "Owowowowowowowowo, i still not recov-owowowow" "Uuuuu...." ¡ï¡î¡ï¡î Troubles keep rising as i''m with her. But its fun to have someone that can adventure with. She was the hero who will save the world and i am just the knight that follows her in her journey. We will face all that as i will protect the hero. Thats how i protect a hero... Arc 1 End. ************** Arc here, This is the end of the Htpah''s arc. The first 5 chapters were short since i didn''t now the basic length of a single chapter but as i wrote this, there was one thing on my mind... Dense Motherfucker. Right, the MC is a fucking dense. But i like the outcome of the story, even if i suck at grammar. Anyway, i hope you like the story and i will see you in the next arc ( or my other stories.) See ya! Arcadia Blade, signing out.
