《"I Am The Hero"》Chapter 10

“Hahaha that elephant has such a huge trunk, it also raises its trunk as high as the skies” Gabriel said with a dead voice.
Water was splash directly at Gabriel’s face.
“Uwahhh!! It-its Co-cold” Gabriel said as he shivers and snot coming out on his nose.
“Welcome back” Richard said with an empty wooden bucket in his hand.
“Uh, what happen?”
“You were attack by a psychological damage.”
“Psychological damage?”
Richard look at his hand which is holding on the skirt.
Why is he looking at my hand? Wait now that I mention it, I feel like I am holding on to something.
I look at to where the guy was looking and I saw a black cloth that seems to be a skir-…. I-I remember what happened… I remember all of it… I wish I didn’t…
“I-I see” I said with a saddened tone.
The guy went on the other side of the room and pick up something. As he gets closer, I recognize what he picked up it was my belongings on the ground that I threw somewhere, because I wasn’t thinking straight all of my focus was to find a way to save Ash… Ugh God I don’t want to remember it.
“Is this perhaps yours?” Richard asks
“Yes, it is, thank you” after saying that he handed my belongings back to me.
“Sir, may I ask what is your business here” Richard asks after returning back Gabriel’s belonging.
“Uh, yes I am here to check on quests”
“Are perhaps an adventurer from a faraway guild, because I haven’t seen you even once before.”
“No, I am not an adventurer yet”
“I apologize sir, but only adventurers can look at the quests”
“I see, but I’ll register tomorrow so can you just let me see it now so I can decide to what to take tomorrow”
“I can’t do tha- you know what I’ll allow it, after all you receive a psychological damage on one of our fellow staff members”
“Thank you very much!!” Gabriel said with joy.
“Come with me” Richard said
I followed the guy and he went to what seems to be the counter.
“Alright stop there” Richard said while he slides open the counter and gets inside.
After he said to me to stay here, he proceeds to go to the other side and then crouch, after a while he then lifts up a lot of paper it’s as tall as a person if it were put on the ground.
“Here are the quests”
“Uh…thanks”
Oh God that’s a lot of paper. I guess this will take a whole day to read this pile of paper.
Well this is what I came for might as well as read all of them until a noteworthy quest appeared in this pile of paper. I guess I need a nice and quiet place to read all of this.
I look around to find a place to read, but then I notice a board with a single paper attach to it. My curiosity overtakes my body so I ask to him “What’s that over there” pointing at the board.
“Oh that. That’s for high ranking adventurers but after the first expedition that happen almost a year ago, a group of powerful adventurers that accepted the quest, but didn’t come back even to this day. Because of that none have ever imagine accepting that quest. They say only a hero would accept that quest or those who are foolish enough to put their life at risk.”

“Can I check it?”
“Were you even listening to what I just said earlier? Powerful adventurers who accepted this quest didn’t even return until now. Do you think a newbie like you could accomplish that quest?” Richard said but to see Gabriel who is just staring at the board ignoring him.
Richard sigh and said “Fine, you will probably get rejected anyway, if you try to ask for this quest by the guild master. Afterall this is a B and above adventurer rank only” he looks at Gabriel that seems to be lost in thoughts.
Richard went to the board and remove the paper then gives it to Gabriel.
A quest only a hero can do. Of course, this calls for me, for I am the HERO! Hmm according to the quest it’s a dragon subjugation. Well that’s easy. Alright my mind is set this shall be the quest that I’ll do, for it is a hero’s job to defeat this vile creature. I’ll come back tomorrow to accept this quest once I register as an adventurer.
Gabriel with full of confidence said “I’ll come back to accept this quest, so wait for me. For I am the hero you need to do this quest”
“What the fuck is that lunatic saying”
Aqua smirking in the background, but no one notice her, for she is invisible to the people around her.
-Aqua’s perspective-
And here I thought that I need to make a plan of my own to make him risk his life. To think he is stupid enough to accept the quest to subjugate a dragon. According to that human named Richard many powerful human adventurers has taken the quest, but haven’t return until now, meaning they either are dead or lost. Not only that dragons are the most powerful magical beast in this world, so the chance of the bastard surviving is zero, unless some fucking miracle happen. But that human named Richard said that the Guild master will not accept his request to do the dragon subjugation, well that won’t be a problem for that guild master is one of my many pawns. A plan to make this pawn of mine accept this fool’s death.
Alright I got a plan, even though the bastard doesn’t call me that much. I need to make an excuse to make him not call me at all, so he won’t ask me for help especially in life threatening situations during the quest. The bastard thinks of me as a low tier elemental spirit, that’s probably the reason why he doesn’t call me for help in these past times. Yeah that’s it, I made up my mind, that’s the plan I’ll go with. This plan shall be set in motion tonight.
THIS PLAN SHALL LEAD TO THE BASTARD’S DOOM AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Somewhere on a room upstairs.
“~Ugh my head hurts and why oh why do I feel like someone’s laughing manically nearby. I might be going insane.” Francis said while laying on bed covering all his body with a blanket.
After finding a suitable quest for a hero like me. I left the adventure’s guild building and started walking so that I won’t just stand in front of the adventure’s guild building and obstruct people from going in and out the building. The outside was as noisy as ever for there are people who are doing business. There are also entertainers, people who perform magic tricks for money. Now that I have finish my business on the guild. Guess I will do what I plan previously. The plan to explore this city a bit more and do things to get my mind off the recent events that I have experience. Perhaps going to the eighteen plus district-

He stops in front of a bakery shop with a huge window to show their products. He saw his reflection and realize something.
“FUUCCCCCKK!!”
“Hey watch your language brat! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?!” said by someone near him.
I look at the direction to where the voice came from. It was an old lady carrying a bag of bread.
“I am so sorry” I said as I bow down.
“sheesh kids these days” The old lady said and walks away
Gabriel still in bowing position waiting for the old lady to get out of his sight.
Ugh, finally the old hag is gone. For me to forgot that I am still young to go to an adult district (even though I never been to one of those places in my past life). Guess I need to go to another kind of place, now that I am thinking of where to go, I remember the inviting looking alleyway I came across to. Alright guess I’ll go there to make new memories.
Gabriel went and walk around the city to where he found the place.
Ah yes this is the place; I’ll never forget this atmosphere.
Gabriel stands in front of alleyway with a dark and gloomy atmosphere. It as if you step your foot on the alleyway it is the same as stepping foot to hell. It’s as if you enter the alleyway it’s the same as saying you forfeit your life.
This alleyway screams for the need of a hero. It feels like all the bad people stays in this alleyway. It is a hero’s job to stop this kind of people. My plan is to beat the bad guys here to get my mind off the recent events. I can do this after all my father been training me so hard that I can fight a group of people at any time. Time to release some stress from the traumatic events by beating up bad guys.
As he sets foot on the alleyway people came out of the dark. People that are muscular, some people has scars on their faces, and they all have one thing in common it’s as if their bloodlust is coming out of there body.
“Oh ho, a brat coming to this alleyway are you perhaps looking for fun?” said by one of the guys with a tomahawk hair and with a raider looking outfit.
“Oh, you are right about that. I am here looking for some entertainment” I said as I prepares myself for combat.
“There’s a place where you can find lots of entertainment if you come with us” said by the guy with a tomahawk hair.
Hmm perhaps there going to lead me to their base where they will try to do bad things. Like making me a slave or selling my organs. Well if that’s the case there will be innocent people too, perhaps I will meet my true heroine there and there I will save all those people and my heroine will fall for me. Guess I need to agree so that they will take me there.
“I see, take me there pronto” Gabriel said.
“Oho this will be a lot of fun” said by the guy with a tomahawk hair.
……….
WHAT…THE...FUCK?
WHAT THE FUCK AM I SEEING RIGHT NOW?! THIS ISN’T SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN!! WHY THE HELL IS THIS HAPPENING?! THIS WASN’T PART OF THE PLAN!
Why…why is this happening? Why are they…. Wearing tutu and dancing ballet, why do these people who look like bandits doing this I can see their chest hair sticking out of their outfit and their outfit is so skin tight I can see their… huge bulge… while they leap in the air and dance around.
“The performance has ended” A voice that came from a magic device that has the same purpose as a speaker.
Finally, it ended I don’t think I can last any longer- the chair where I was sitting suddenly locks me in place, for cuffs came from the chair arms and legs locking me in place. Why do I feel something ominous will starts?
“I am sorry for the inconvenience it seems like some of the magic chairs are having a malfunction, but that won’t stop the final performance”
Oh god don’t tell me there’s going to be more ballet dance.
“And now for all you have been waiting for the final performance!”
I can’t fucking get out!!
“Barky help me get out!! Barky” I said but no one responded
The dancers reach for their costumes and rips it. showing g string bikini that barely hides their private parts
“AAAHHHHHH!!!!”
“Seems like he’s screaming for joy, after all he insist to go here” said by the guy with a tomahawk hair.
Time flies by and as the performance ended so does the day and it’s time for the night sky to take its place.
“Dear customer, it is about time for us to close” said by the guy with a tomahawk hair.
Gabriel looks like his life force was suck out of him and the magic chair was functioning properly.
“Oh, seems like he tired himself from watching all day long. There’s still a room available perhaps he can stay there for the night. It’s a way for us showing our appreciation on him staying and watching our performance all day long.” said by the guy with a tomahawk as he carries Gabriel to the room and put him to bed. They also brought his belongings on the room.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
