[3rd Person POV]
If a child, not even a year old saw and quivered in the sight of the abomination that suddenly displayed unprecedented power and might by just appearing and anticlimactically disappearing as if he just went and took a peek, what's more those who are already well developed right? Particularly, of course, adults.
And one particular adult, upon seeing the giant just right beside her ho nation, went out of her house and ran with all her frail and delicate body's strength, to consult, request and beg for the help of the heroes of humanity.
_I shouldn't have done that... If only... If only I was not a coward...!_
As she ran, causing her breathing to have white fog caused by exhaustion, she regretted her decision, a decision that ca out of nowhere, a decision that is just caused by a deranged form of love.
_But I am too poor! I can't even feed myself!_
She continued to run, but she tripped and hit her face on the paved road causing bystanders to look at her like a fool, sohow, soone tripped on super smooth ground, even hitting her nose and making it bleed, but she ignored all of the carriages' coachn's disdain filled eyes and stood back up and continue her sloppy running
The lady nad Mira is just a village woman, who is one of the many unfortunate souls who are deed to be cursed by poverty their whole life, these people, especially the won who are deed as useless choose to not bear or conceive any child to end their bloodline from suffering, n can be used in war, whilst won are rare to have any talents in fighting for their rearing is that of a dostic approach, this barrier between potential attainnts is understandable for such a case.
She is the sa, she just... gave in to the motto of you only live once and went to be drunk and spanked in the city nearby, little did she know that her wasting her life in alcohol will make her pregnant, what's more, terrifying is that, she doesn't rember being laid but her hyn is already gone, aning her virginity is no more, taken by soone, not she even have a glance on.
As she said, she is too poor to feed herself and relied upon her friends for her party budget, thus she just didn't abort the child because of her maternal instincts but not because of motherly affection or anything else, at least that's what she thought she is doing, she has devised it so that after her pregnancy period, she will give the child to soone more willing and more capable of such responsibility.
But because of her identity, her identity as soone with barely any identity, soone who is not worth even a bat of an eye, she didn't find adoptive parents for her child, at that ti she didn't think to approach the orphanage managed by one of the heroes as she can't just co to their door and say:
"Hey I'm abandoning my child, take care of her, bye!"
And go away with it without being punished by the people of the orphanage, a whore having sex during a drunken night and not taking responsibility for the consequences of her actions is unforgivable.
Tears started to flow out of her cheeks, as she continued running, hoping in blind faith to find soone in particular, soone that will bother to find a child of so villager, she doesn't have the power to do so, the system of the world is not favorable to anyone who does not use their strength so she who always dances around in bars has no hope to even fight and win against goblins, thus a hero, a hero that can contend with the monster that can kill her child that she had abandoned in the safest parts of the forest after nine months, imdiately after birth, she would find a hero that can and is willing to save her child.
_Haah... Haaah..._
She started gasping for air, and also laugh inwardly to herself.
_AHA... AHAHAHA..._
As her tears continued to flow down, without her noticing the kiloters of distance between her village and the city, she slowly transversed, with just willpower to seek help to find her daughter, however, in her sloppy yet continuous and unstopping sprint, a self-loathing ca crashing into herself.
_I... I have... I have abandoned my child because of my incapacity to rear her..._
She thought of such, as her footsteps started to slow down, her breathing getting heavy by the second.
_... And right now... I want her back... But also can't do so..._
She finally stopped running, exhausted and tired of herself and weakness, she halted just in front of the arc entrance of the city, her legs trembled, like a bowlful of jelly, her body dehydrated like preserved at, her body weakened, like a dying lamb, she collapsed to her knees, like a broken maiden, her eyes flowed with liquid, like a fountain.
"Help... My child..."
She wants to scream, she wants to beg, she wants to do anything, put her body in the arms of any man, or woman even, she's willing to put her organs in the sale, she is willing to be a slave, contract a demon and sell her soul, anything and every thod in existence, anything just to save her child, she doesn't need to be taken care of, she can just be ignored... She can just die, not just her child.
In the end, she is still scared of responsibility, she is still not willing to go back to the forest, maybe its guilt, but mostly, a feeling that she is not welcod by the child she orphaned is etched, embedded deeply into her heart, causing her to not have thoughts of running into the forest and find her beloved, that she once abandoned.
She, who is a mother, though a useless one has this intuition that her child, in the forest, didn't die, she doesn't know how, but she knew that there is still hope, only if there is soone that will help her get her child... She doesn't even need to see her child again, just a confirmation or a sign that her daughter is safe, Mira doesn't want anything in return.
_Please... Soone..._
She muttered, but no help ca, as she started to have a blurry vision, losing control of her body that is devoid of any strength, and slowly slumped to the floor.
"What do you, damsel in distress requires my help for?"
An androgynous voice ca crashing into her ears, it was beautiful and handso at the sa ti, one who would make males and females alike blush, but instead of being attracted, the voice ca as a ray of hope for her... No for her child, she doesn't know if the voice is true or not if it was real or just a hallucination, but she held on to it nonetheless, as before she passed out, her mouth spoke a single na.
".... Ur... Du... Ja..."
And then finally, slumped motionless on the floor.
"It is , minstrel... Oh, she passed out."
Urduja, the hero, or the heroine of the people, has co to her aid.
So unknown ti later, in a grandly decorated room, with king sized bed, and a giant window that is covered by giant curtains all of which have the color red with golden and black complentary colors, the room also has its room, yes, room, not drawer of clothes.
The room of clothes has many assortnts in all people of the manor except the Heroine will not recognize, there is even footwear with the image of a man air walking.
Mira woke up, in pajamas, she doesn't have her bra, and next, sitting to her, Urduja who is similarly in pajamas.
Peeking at her white yet muscular thighs, Mira imdiately went up off the bed, in instinct, and covered her chest part which Urduja just gave a little chuckle.
She did this, in instinct because...
"Well, as much as I want to, I don't want to take advantage of soone with so much high fever, much more that you have asked my help, right?"
Yes, as you see, she is a woman who likes won, it is not a bad thing, it is normal and not that of a big deal compared to Sophia's previous world, but, she's a Heroine.
Charisma, looks, popularity, prowess, everything a woman wants from their man is on her, so how can she not be flustered right?
"R-right..." Mira tried to regain her composure, and as Urduja continued to stare at her with her bronze-colored eyes, her throat suddenly gulped as she said.
"You're down for a week and my disciples have to take care of you while I have to attend to several matters, you know, hero and all."
Urduja sighed.
"Now, what may you want to help you with?"
Urduja was very casual, making Mira guilty, Urduja is the hero with the most attachnt to children, all of her disciples are beggars at one point but are now the top students of the academy and are all popular in their respective fields.
She knows what will happen if she ntioned what she did to her child, but, she had no choice.
"U-hmm you see... I... I, when I was drunk, hooked up with a stranger and Uhm...."
She started to stutter, causing Urduja's expression to turn serious, she started to have sweat beads on her forehead, and she braced herself for what is to co.
"And I got pregnant and left the chi-"
She stopped in her tracks, a suffocating pressure pressed down on her, no words, no movent, no nothing, the bed in between the two won was destroyed and Urduja's blade materialized in front of her as she grabbed it and jumped towards Mira, Mira cannot do anything, she accepted her fate, she knew that Urduja will help her child, at least, in the cost of her life, she has said her request to save her offspring.
However, as she resolved herself, she heard exploding sounds all over the corners of the room and when she opened her eyes to learn that she was still alive, she saw several of Urduja's students clinging to her as they frantically tried to calm down their teacher.
"Calm down! Calm down! Lady Urduja, the child, we will find her for you, we will!"
As if being afraid of hurting her students, she stepped down against her will, saying.
"You better do, you better do..."
Urduja silently muttered, staring with bloodshot eyes towards Mira who still stood frozen to the ground.
Her students already knew why Mira ca here, one of her disciples has Esper powers after all, they also knew that their master, for so reason, is very fond of children and thus already know the outburst that she will do the mont she learned that soone who abandoned her child is to ask her for help.
And thus, they looked at each other, forgetting to find the child, the woman's mories date back at least a month ago, so finding her alive will already be a miracle, and they only hoped that her corpse will be in one piece. For surely, no one wants to ever witness the wrath of the Hero of the People.
[Sophia's POV]
In a dimly lit room with a ceiling of rocks, walls of rocks, beds of rocks, and ornants with nothing but rocks, I am laying with bandages all over my body as I started to rember all of what happened to and my subordinates, it all started seven days ago, the mont the giant disappeared as if the world is not worthy of its presence.
At that ti, my mind was clear, that's also why I am so shaken as I imdiately understood the aning of that being's existence, its as if the world is saying that I am not enough yet, which I imdiately realized to be true, after all, I am not even a year old and doesn't know bat shit about the outside behind the thick trees of this forest, and thus my first step is to beco stronger.
Is it nothing complicated, I have to strengthen myself, after all, besides that, what can I do?
And thus I imdiately proceeded to make my idea co true, if you don't rember, I have hypothesized and have proven through [Guide] that if it is simple enough for , I can imdiately learn the lowest version of elental magic.
And thus I did, I circulated mana in my hands reducing so mana in my stats, and then imagined it being sand, which, after so effort (Because it seems like fire's my first elent and is contradicting the earth elent sohow), a notification resounded.
