The general was silently looking at items and equipment being displayed in front of him.

It's been a while since he finally left The Adventurer Guild.

{It Sucks that the Farmer boy had to leave so soon General, I was beginning to enjoy his company.}

The boy silently picks up a glowing object.

Observing the item for any benefit.

"System could you tell me what this is?"

{I wish I could General but I don't know.}

The general sigh to himself.

"I guess I have to figure this out myself..."

He turns around and walked towards the owner of the shop.

It was a teenager girl with blonde hair, green eyes and freckles on her face.

She had a nice pink dress but couldn't tell what else due to standing behind the counter.

Not like he wanted to know that badly anyways.

"Excuse me, but what might this be?"

The boy asked the owner of the shop.

She looked away from reading a book.

Her bright smile was quite adorable.

"Oh! I see that you got good eyes, Mister, that there is a rare treasure chest detector!"

{She's right General! It could be useful whenever we are on a journey too! Treasure Chest is very rare and hold many mysterious items that could be useful and powerful and valuable too!}

The general thought about it silently.

"How much does it cost?"

The girl in the pink dress places her index finger on her chin.

"Around 1,000 Gold coins."

The general was shocked at how much the glowing object Costed.

There was no way he had enough Gold coins for such an item.

"I don't have enough gold coins for that..."

She blinks a couple of times and tilted her head.

Staring in an adorable way with such an innocent face.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear."

The general silently observe the items and equipment again.

That was being displayed inside of the shop.

He begins to think what he could use.

There were several items for the journey.

But there was a problem.

They all cost a bit too much.

"Um, Why does all the prices here cost a lot?"

The general asked curiously.

"Oh... Well... Since the war happening between The Empire and The Capitol, it's been difficult to even get more supplies lately."

{I think she's talking about that War we were talking about from yesterday General!}

The general rubs his back neck.

"I guess I have to do some quest to buy that Glowing object."

He lets out a sigh before bowing to the shop owner.

"I'm sorry to waste your time, I will be back one day and buy that item if you would please put it on hold for me!"

He apologizes and said politely.

She begins to react to this.

And waving her hands around.

"T-there's no need to bow to me and apologize! But of course I will hold it for you!"

She smiles at him before taking the glowing item.

Taking it into the back room.

Returning back to the counter after a couple of seconds.

"Thank you."

The general said with a smile.

She smiled in return.

"Don't mention it, please come again."

He nodded to her in response.

And begin to exit the Item and Equipment.

After selling several items that he didn't need anymore.

He had about 550 Gold coins in total.

It would take a while to earn more.

The general scan his surroundings.

Many different kinds of people doing their daily activities.

Village guards wearing full body plate armor and walking across the streets.

He looked up towards the sky in silence.

Memories of being in his own world.

(Flashback)

A grown, Hispanic man walked across the street.

The location was New York City.

Life in the city was difficult.

People usually sugar coated about the city just to have more people visit and gain more money.

Dangerous and yet disturbing.

There was always drama at every corner you go.

Many people in business suits.

Many teenagers in causal clothes and going to university schools.

School buses driving on the streets.

NYPD Police officers standing around across the busy city.

Fire truck sirens going off and driving fast.

Loud ghetto music blasting by a car driving on the street.

The City life was harsh to be honest.

Many people just couldn't understand the true nature of this city.

But everything was the usual for him.

A couple of teenage girls laughing to themselves throughout their conversation.

He had to side step for them to pass.

Silently observing them and looking away.

It made him sad deep down inside his heart.

Couldn't find a job.

Not a single girl ever took interest in him.

A few people he would consider friends eventually went separate ways.

They never consider him a friend.

He remembers back when he was young.

Getting bullied in school and picked on by a bunch of kids.

The man sighs to himself.

It was quite cold today like usual in the city.

He enters into central park.

This place was always peaceful to him.

Remembering the good times with his family and friends.

He smiled to himself and soon found a spot to sit on an empty bench.

And staring at the large lake that had ducks and possibly fishes.

His breath could be visibly seen due to the temperature today.

The cold was bothersome, but endurable at times like usual.

"Ahhh! Let me go! Please! Someone help me!"

The grown man immediately opens his eyes.

And turn to the source.

He saw a young Caucasian woman struggling against two guys.

The grown man groans in displeasure and stood up before running to her aid.

"Shut up or we will hurt you! Just give us what we want baby."

The woman had fear in her eyes.

She tried to fight off her offenders.

Even try to run away just to be grab onto her arm.

It was painful grip.

Before one of the guys could go any further.

A pair of arms did a headlock on one of them.

The other guy who had the woman turned his attention away from her.

And saw one of his friends getting into a headlock by a stranger.

"Hey Punk! Let go of him!"

He let go of the woman and went to help his friend.

The grown man release one of the offenders and kick him away.

He didn't know how to fight due to inexperience.

But the movies he use to watch when he was just a kid could come in handy.

"You gonna pay for that!"

The offender shouted before throwing a fist.

Suddenly it misses the stranger and got pushed to the ground.

The grown man felt his heart beating fast and his body shaking.

He didn't like fighting people and the thought of hurting someone with his bare hands.

It made him sad at the thought of it.

"Just give up and get away from here and leave that woman alone!"

The offender smirks and ding his hand into his jacket.

Taking out a switchblade.

This made his heart skip a beat.

"You gonna end up dead for getting in our way now!"

The grown man narrows his eyes and felt his body taking an odd stance.

He wasn't confident in his skills.

But he wasn't going to go down so easily and let these goons sexually harass a woman.

The woman stood there and watch.

She was afraid and couldn't move her legs.

Her offender started to charge at the stranger with a weapon in his hand.

"Your own funeral!"

The grown man immediately held both his arms and stop him from stabbing him.

They both struggle to overpower the other one.

The grown man felt his muscles burning and getting tired already.

He didn't know how long he can keep this up.

Looking at a psychotic man's face.

"Just stop!"

The grown man shouted and started to overpower him as the two struggle more.

They eventually fell onto the ground and the other guy got on top of him.

He looked up and saw the offender raising his knife at him.

And quickly held his arm and uses his free hand to punch him in the face.

"You mother-"

The grown man punches him again in the face and pushing the offender off of him.

He soon overpowers him again and started to punch him once more.

"Look out! Behind you!"

The woman who was being sexually harass said out loud to her rescuer.

The grown man turn around in time to see the other offender charging at him.

He wasn't sure if he can handle this situation.

"You gonna pay for that!"

The other guy jumps on him and got him off of his friend with the knife.

He stared into his eyes and head butted him in the face.

Knocking his offender off of him.

Before the fight could continue a gunshot was heard.

The grown man felt a sharp painful sensation in his stomach.

He turns to see the guy with the knife now holding a pistol.

Police sirens were already heard and they were coming closer.

"Let's get out of here man! It ain't worth it! The police is coming!"

The two goons eventually fled away from the scene.

Leaving a bleeding man and a woman running to his aid.

Other people that were nearby started entering the scene.

Few teenagers and young adults taking out their phones and recording it.

A couple of people calling the police and the ambulance.

The grown man felt his body numb due to the cold and the blood loss.

His eyes growing heavy.

All he can see was the clear sky and clouds.

Birds chirping and people talking.

"Hold on man! Help is coming on their way!"

The grown man felt tears sliding down his cheeks.

An elderly person encouraging him to keep his eyes open.

"Somebody call the ambulance!"

A woman shouted.

"I did! They're already on their way!"

Another voice replied that was a guy.

His mind felt fuzzy and losing consciousness.

The blonde hair woman he saved was looking down at him with tears on her face.

Her gray color eyes turning little bit red.

She was basically holding back from crying.

"Thank you so much... Thank you so much for saving me... Thank you so much... I'm sorry that I couldn't do anything!"

The grown man kept staring at her in silence and eventually smiles the best he could.

"It's okay."

He felt his heart starting to beat slower and slower.

His brown eyes staring up at the sky.

Was this it?

If so, at least he did something right.

He could easily avoid this situation and walked away.

But the thought of turning a blind eye away from someone that needed help sicken him.

Especially a woman crying out for help.

Suddenly bright light started to shine around his body.

Many people and the woman and elderly person watch in shock.

Teenagers shouting and talking out loud as they question what was taking place.

Suddenly, he was gone.

The grown man opens his eyes and notice he wasn't laying on the cold ground.

It wasn't freezing neither.

Everything was black until he appears in a large room.

Saw a man on a throne.

People in full plate armor that looked from the medieval times.

"Finally! The hero has arrived!"

A girl's voice said out loud.

"This means we can finally defeat that villain that threatens this world!"

A male voice said and more voices were heard afterwards.

They sounded happy.

Even a few cheering together.

The grown man looked down at his body and notice that his clothes didn't fit him.

Lifting up both his hands and noticed that they looked young.

"What's happening?"

Even his voice sounded young back when he was a kid.

He was a grown man and now he was a boy.

The boy looked down at his own body.

Feeling where his wound would be at with both his hands.

He notices that the pain stopped and the gunshot wound was gone too.

"Welcome Hero."

Did he just call him a hero?
