《My life as a human knight has begun》Chapter 9: " I already decided "
Advertisement
While the two of them still chatting, suddenly Alan remembered the other thing he must do, then he said goodbye to Sven then ran to the big building at the centre of town. Sven looked him and then he thinks deep with mixed feelings. For all this time, he fought with some middle-rank soldier, who all the demon tribe afraid to fight it, he feels betrayed by Commander Gray.
At the same time, he feels rejoice. Why? because he finally knows that there's the same rank or high rank other than the holy knight itself. But there's a problem like Alan said, the one who leads the campaign of the battle against the demon's lord is the holy knight. The others rank has their own assignments, so they cannot participate the war against the demon.
But that's why he here, in the human's territory. To find information about it, and see what he can do to unify all the ranks to go war against the demon lord. It's not like Sven wants to betray the demon's lord, he just wants something epic for his battle, something that can make him go berserk, cry, suffer a great damage or else. Sven also knows that he's not particularly strong in the demon's tribe, in fact, he's the weakest among his "friend", cause he doesn't have much type magic can he use. He just a plain elite foot soldier who relies only on his brute strength alone and some little magic.
He remembered the first time he fought one of his friends called, Heloim, who he is speciality is using a short sword and magic. He suffered a great damage due to Heloim's magic, and dirty tricks.
When he remembered the old days of him, make him wants to turn away from demon tribe. The only reason he stayed there for a long time was Commander Gray and Mana.
Upon Sven arrive at the gate out of town, he saw Rena talking with a girl, dressed like a noble. Then he went to see Rena
"ah, you came, Sven .. Sis Fia, he's Sven that I told about it earlier," said Rena
"How are you Sven, I'm Fia?" Said the girl
"Ahh yes, my name is Sven. Happy to meet you "said Sven
"Fia? .. like I've heard that name .. Fia ... FIA .., FIAAA !! that's the name of the woman that Dennald said "
Sven recalled the name, which was the name of the soldier. Then, he puts his hands in the pocket to find the necklaces.
"Later in the evening, I'll come to your house, Rena. Ahh, you come there too, Sven" said the girl named Fia

"Okay"
Then the girl climbed into her carriage and leave. Sven approached Rena to ask who's the girl was.
"Oh. it's Fia Herald, a friend to big brother. She's from a noble family. She knows our family because when dad was alive, we were still in the noble family and had a close relationship at that time, "said Rena
"I knew it"
"Then, why did she invite me to come to your house?" Asked Sven
" I don't know"
Then came to them a customer who wanted to buy their corn, then they started their sales business. Not long enough, more people came to the wooden stall, where Rena and Sven sell their corn.
In the afternoon, their sales have been sold out.
"It's profitable to sell this corn. Why not sell it inside "asked Sven
"To do business in the city, need a permit to turn on stalls in town, and to get a permit it is quite expensive for us. Every single month, the military who collects military tax money will come to the village to collect taxes. "
"So to pay the tax, you sell this corn? Sven's guess makes Rena nod.
"Since my father was gone, big brother always helped us financially by selling corn. He also took a wage to become a security guard for Fia. Because of she is from the noble family, Fia has registered Dennald for the Chosen Recruit tournament, which will start at the beginning of next month "
"Chosen Recruit tournament?? I bet that's the tournament where Alan mentions it before" said Sven
"say, Rena, I want to participate in this so-called chosen one tournament or something. The tournament begins in next week as for the next month, right?.. so where's the place do I want to register it?"
Rena look carefully at Sven's physical features
"you want to enter the tournament, Sven? I recommend for you to not join it. because you look thin and fit, unlike my late brother who looked big and muscular, and also, I afraid you cannot survive in that tournament"
"Well, aren't you underestimate me a bit?"
Rena became quiet as she began to fidget on her hands
"It's not like that, the tournament was to choose only the best, and for what I heard, there's someone who actually dies in that tournament.So, I'm just worried about you, because we're already just met"
Sven smile when he heard Rena's said, then he patted her head softly. Rena becomes really blushing as for her face look very red.

"Don't you worry, I may look like this, but I pretty confident about my fighting skill. Besides, I already make my mind. I'm too, will support you for the rest of my life"
" and of course for financially, I will support you and your mother"
Rena shocked by statement of Sven said earlier
"No, I don't want to trouble you...It's like I'm telling you to do this for my sake, I begging you, I really don't want to make trouble for you, so please, don't do this~" said Rena who began to seen wants to cry already
"Man.. you sure like to cry a lot. hahaha. It's okay, after all, I already said that I want to do it. so don't worry about it"
Rena began to cry and Sven was just stood, watching her cry at his chest. To him, he understands Rena feelings, about the responsibility that she carry's on until now and somewhat she reminded him of his childhood past.
"come one, let's go home," said Sven
"... okay..." reply her
They walk to their home after finish cleaning up. On the middle road, Sven said to Rena, that where's the place that he wants to register for the tournament, then she points at the tall building at the centre of the village.After that, Sven leaves Rena to go that place, with a smile on his face. To him, there's no greater chance to collect the information other than joining the army.
Then, he arrives at the destination. The building looks tall from Sven's view, as he can see it from far away. The signboard written says that building name called Tower Control.
"Oh my, is you, Sven. How's the night at here?? feeling comfortable?" said the old man walking toward him
"hmm, ah, hello chief vi, yeah it is. I thank you for what you did for me" said Sven
"ho ho ho, you're welcome. By the way, what are you doing here? looking for the job??" said the chief villagers
"I'm want to join the, err, what it says again, choose... tourna.. ah, chosen tournament, yeah that is it"
"are you referring, the chosen recruit tournament?" said the chief vi, makes Sven nodded
"well, if you want to join in, I don't see a problem of that, besides, I already know your strength, so I sure you make it. I'll help you out, so let's go inside"
They walk in the building. Inside that, There are two levels in the building and each one has a specific reason. The ground floor is to manage the affairs of the village, and the first floor, to manage the affairs of the nobility. and the second floor is for monitoring for soldiers who serve as the watcher.
"let's go upstairs, the registers on the first floor," the chief vi said as they walk to it
Then Sven has been shocked by the numbers of people who were at first floor.
"Well, that would be expected," said the chief Vi
"what do you mean by that?"
"You see, the military is the only fast road that can make man be wealthy, but there is a rule that one who wants to join the military, and that is, you must at least from middle family because the government cannot provide you with the facility if you still a recruit, but that will change after you become rank knight"
"Because of that, the noble family have established the Chosen recruit tournament, to give the opportunity to the people who want to join it. So, there many people like you, who want to join, even people from the others village, who doesn't have the noble family, come from far away, just to join the tournament"
"Well, what are we waiting for, let's go register then"
"Whoa, hold on, young one. Before that, choose carefully about their demands"
"Demand??"
"come here" as they walk to the notice boards. there is five paper with a different name of the noble family. Their name are :
1. Herald
2. Ortoric
3. Kielgen
4.De Fam
5.Versfalio
"you'll have to choose carefully about their demands. Their demand will decide your future, after all, so think carefully, Sven"
Sven nodded then look carefully at the notice board. The noble's family demands were somehow too obsessive, cause each one of them was a demand to carry on their name on our backs for a long time, except...
"Chief vi, I already decided. This is the family that I will go" said Sven as he points at one of those paper
"hmm... let me see. Oh, well it's not a bad decision for you, go on then" said chief vi with smile to Sven
There are many demands are quite an interest for Sven to choose as he thinks deeply until he saw this family name that taken attention of him. Versfalio

After All
This is not my story. My story was of a world I forged by my raw will, and of you, my children, forged of my dreams. That story has long since ended. Our world was not alone. Another deity came from beyond my sight, and despite our resistance rent our world asunder. In the end, all was lost and you were gone. That I survived your passing is a testament to the cruelty of existence; I cannot forgive existence for the monstrous crime of making me go on without you. This is the story of a new world, forged by the hands of fools. That it is made from the bones of that which I most hated will bring this place no absolution. In the fullness of time, I will seize the reins of this new narrative, and I shall end it. You are lost to me, my children. I will make a funeral pyre of all reality for you, and be with you in oblivion after all. --- DocSumac here. This is a story that has been rattling around in my head for years. It's not complete, but I'm not going to let it haunt me anymore. I'm uploading what is ready, and I'll add more as I can. --- Addendum May 20, 2020: I've added the Sex tag. Not because of actual smut, but becuase of what will probably devolve into an ongoing parade of dick jokes. No point denying my nature.
