After a few days of recuperation I was back to 100% I was walking around the village with the wolf man Named Tai Morningstar with the staff slung across my back as he informed me of a few things of this world, the first thing that he mentioned was that he and all of the others in the village were known as Demi-Humans, and that some of them wouldn't trust me at first for only one reason

"I'm just forwarning you most of them won't trust you" Tai said as I notice a number of Demi-Human giving me a distrusting looks and glares at me

"May I ask why they wouldn't trust me?" I ask

"Because most humans see us as monsters rather than people" Tai said as I begin to understand

So the Demi-Humans are like the Faunus from RWBY. that makes sense

"Yeah well that's not the type of person I am, I don't judge people by their looks, I judge by their actions, and as it stand no-one here has warranted my judgement" I say as we make it to the edge of the village to what looks like a shed

"That is good to hear, if it's true that your a Cardinal Hero then you need to learn to fight" Tai said grabbing a metal bo staff from the shed

"I can figh.." I begin before being thrown flat on my ass

"You were saying?" Tai said above me with his staff against my chest

"I meant hand-to-hand" I say getting up

"Well you'll need to learn how to fight with your weapon" Tai said walking out of the village while I follow behind

Following Tai through we come across a vast field with a few rabbits and porcupines. Upon arrival three porcupines and two rabbits start running towards me, Grabbing my staff I ready myself for the closest animal, a rabbit and two of the porcupines jump at me which in turn caused me to swing my staff slamming the porcupines into the rabbit embedding their spines into the rabbit killing it instantly

Without warning the other porcupine leaps which I strike it with the butt of my staff knocking it back, While I slam the head of my staff on the head of another porcupine until it was dead.

I soon hear a high pitched squeal, turning I see Tai holding a rabbit to the ground with his bo staff, taking the opportunity I use my weapon to kill the animal

Immediately my menu pops up as well as a skill tree

"You and Gray are improving quite well" The Wolf Demi-Human said carrying a large monster over his shoulder

"Thanks Tai, so is this all game we need?" I say grabbing the summoning a Hound to carrying the dead one

"Yeah this is all.." began Tai as the sky turned red

"What..the...Hell" I started say as Tai look at it in horror

"Balthasar! Run!" Tai said running to the village

With my summoned Hound following I tail behind Tai, as we enter the village a look of fear is plastered on my face, from the sky came hundreds upon hundreds of monsters. It was then that something clicked

'The Book...The Waves of Apocalyptic Catastrophe'

"Tai go find your family, I'll fight the monsters" I say equipping my Thunderstorm Magic Staff

The staff had a more metallic look with a dark cloud hovered over the jewel, while the jewel sat on six prongs on the shape of lightning

Thunderstorm Magic Staff

Equipment Bonus: Magic Attack +20 Electricity Attack +30

Skill: Lightning Arc

[it was the best I could find]

The Majority of the monsters looked to resemble some form of K9, some of them had more than one head, especially one with three heads and a horn on each

"Okay...Killing That one Last" I say as lightning arcs around the black jewel

'Lightning Arc'

I activate one of my skills zapping a group of K9 monsters before they could get close to some of the Demi-Humans

Hellhound[Unlocked]

"Go! find shelter" I say as they run to find somewhere to hide

Immediately I summon forth my newly acquired monster

"I summon the unholy beast of flesh and bone, slain by magic might to do my bidding"

HELLHOUND

In a burst of flame and rock, The monster of hell comes forth and stands before me

"Kill any and all Monsters...Both of you" I say as both my Hound and Hellhound run off to fight of the monsters

I was at this time when I heard a blood curdling scream, I turned to see the three headed monster at the edge of the cliff with all three heads down to the ground. Running to the monster I charge my weapon with a Lightning spell, but I stop in my tracks as I see two bloodied bodies in front of the beast. and what was worse, I knew who those people were, I grit my teeth in anger as I charged up my spell as I aim it upward creating a large storm cloud

'As source of thy power and as the Magic Hero I order thee, decipher the law of nature to strike my enemy with a Bolt of pure Light'

'Lightning Bolt'

From the storm cloud came several small bolts which struck several smaller monster before a massive bolt of lightning came down and fried the three headed monster killing it instantly

Orthus[Unlocked]

Cerberus[Unlocked

The Moment I killed the Cerberus the sky returned from red to normal. with the sky normal I banish my summoned monsters and head to the Morningstar house, my face holds a look of joy seeing Marianna and her 9 year old son alive and well

[Again Best I could Find]

"Marianna, are you and Gray Okay?" I ask returning my staff to its default form

"Yeah were okay, but have you seen Tai?" Marianna said raising red flags in my brain

Without hesitation I run to look for the man who not only taught me how to fight but taught me about this world, only to Stop..Dead..in my tracks as I see a two-headed Monster(Two-Headed black dog/same kind of monster Naofumi encountered in the mines) sinking its teeth into Tai Morningstar.

'Vine Snare'

From beneath the monster came thick thorned vines which wrapped around the monster tightly, moving both mouths away from the Demi-Human, I walk up the my teacher and lift his head, he was still breathing but he was staring off at nothing, he wasn't going to make it. No matter how much I didn't want it to be true, I had to face reality, this is not game, if you die there is no respawn, you will die. Moving Tai's body I face the monster that ended my teachers life, gripping my weapon I point it at the bound monster

"My Name Is Balthasar Black, You Killed My Master, Prepare to Die" I say as my jewel glows red

'Zwei...Fireblast'

The glow on my staff intensified as it unleashed a turret of azure flames which engulfed the monster killing the monster slowly. With a look of forlorn I pick up Tai and proceed to carry him to his family, I felt completely heart-broken seeing Marianna and Gray crying over Tai's body. believing that the Morningstar's needed time to bury him, so I went to hunt down the remaining monsters, only to stop when Gray grabbed hold of my leg

"Please...Don't..leave us too" Gray said through his tears

Slowly exhaling I stay behind to help with burying the dead, which was few in numbers beside Tai and Ralptalia's Parents only three others died. While everyone was burying their loved ones I begin to speak aloud

"I never asked to be brought to this world. never once asked to be found by the man who helped me learn of this world. My Father once said that everything always happen for a reason, only six people died today, I'd hate to imagine how many we'd have to bury if I wasn't here. None of you trust me, I can only imagine that you hate me now that I wasn't able to save them. I'd Understand your hate..."I begin as I feel a hand on my shoulder as well as several on my back

"You did what you could" said an old male fox Demi-Human

"After what you did there is no way not to trust you" said a female weasel Demi-Human

"Balthasar, everyone around you holds no ill will against you, like you said if you weren't here we would be Burying a lot more of us" Marianna said with a genuine smile

The rest of the funeral was silent as we all laid rest to the people we hold most dear. a few days pass and we were rebuilding the village with some encouraging words from the raccoon Demi-Human Raphtalia. At first some of the villagers kept being frightened by my summoned monsters before I explained to them that is was one of my skills, with the help of my monsters the reconstruction of Rurorona Village was moving quite well, off in the distance I see a group of knights with a purple. but something didn't sit right with me

"Hey Marianna, do you who those knights are?" I asked The Wolf Demi-Human walking by

Looking towards the group of knights her eyes widen

"Those are the royal knights of Melromarc, they must be here to help us" Marianna says as I see some of them drawing their sword which immediately set off red flags in my mind

"They aren't here to help, They're here to attack" I say dropping the lumber and grabbing my staff

Without hesitation I order my monsters to attack the knights, only to see the human knights cutting most of them struck down.

"Everyone Run!" Yelled Marianna yelled as she looked for her son

Immediately I was alerted by the sound of yelling and screaming of children and the screams of the adult males

Their after the women and children

My eyes soon grow wide as I see Gray being carried by a knight, taking aim with my staff I activate one of my skills

'Vine Snare'

The Majority of the knights were ensnared by thorned thick vines that cut them the more they struggled, this gave the Demi-Humans time to flee while I grabbed Gray and fled with Marianna. Unfortunately the Knights that weren't trapped freed the others and began chasing us. One by One the Demi-Humans were either killed or taken by the knights, It was down to me, the Morningstar's and a few other Demi-Humans. Thinking quick I use my magic to buy us some time

'Zwei Fireblast'

Swinging my staff I create a line of fire separating the Knights from us. then An Idea can

"I summon the unholy beast of flesh and bone, slain by magic might to do my bidding"

CERBERUS

From thin air I call forth the boss of the Wave and order the Demi-Humans to get on, then ordered it to take them somewhere safe. Without missing a beat I summon another Cerberus for myself and the Morningstar's, First I help Gray on the beast before I got to help Marianna, But I stop when I am pushed to the ground, Standing where I stood was a bleeding Marianna. Marianna Morningstar had pushed me out of the way to save me from the Knights attack.

"Tch..Damn Demi" He said place his armored foot on her before kicking her off his blade

The Knight then Begins to attack me, I however don't waste a moment and point my staff at his feet

'Quicksand'

The Knight of Melromarc began to sink in to the ground all the while trying to get out, it was then that the knight realized I was a Human and Not a Demi-Human

"Hey! why are you helping those monsters?" the Knight said fully outstretching his arms slowing his decent

"Because unlike you the Demi-Humans are more human than you are, I don't Judge people on appearance, I Judge them based on their actions, And you sir..." I say placing my foot on his armored head "..Have Definitely earned my judgement"

Putting all my weight on my right foot I force the knight down into the earth where he will never see the light of day again. Looking up I see more knights fast approaching without a moment of hesitation I use my Vine Snare skill and trap them

"You call yourselves knights but in reality you are nothing but monsters" I say Using my summoning kill

"I summon the unholy beast of flesh and bone, slain by magic might to do my bidding"

HOUND
