The city was full of flames, as fiery rain poured down from the sky. All the people were filled with despair.

"Damn it, we're finished," one of the remaining people muttered, as they took shelter somewhere in the city.

In the midst of the chaos, a man from the shelter spoke up. "Ahh, what's the point of living now? Those demons have already destroyed our homes and our lives. It'd be better if we offered ourselves to them."

A small rock suddenly hit the man in the face. *Thud!*

"You shut up! You don't know anything. If you want to give up, then go die yourself! But I'm going to live, and if you want to die, then go ahead, old man!" A young girl shouted defiantly.

The man glared at her, his face twisted in anger. "Hah! You're going to live? What a joke. How are you going to survive, huh? In this situation, are you going to kill those demons? Or maybe you're some kind of princess, waiting for someone to save you, you little brat. Tell me!"

The young girl hesitated, unable to respond to his words. The man sneered. "Or are you hoping for a hero to come save us? If that's what you're expecting, forget it! From generation to generation, heroes only save those damn nobles and kings with power and money."

The girl clenched her fists. "The new hero isn’t like that! I know he’ll save us. I believe in him! And if we're talking about money, you're the one who's obsessed with it, you old alcoholic bastard!"

"What did you say, you little runt?!" the man shouted back, his anger boiling over.

They began arguing fiercely, their eyes burning with intensity.

"Natasha, stop it!" A voice came from behind them.

"Just be quiet," Natasha's mother said.

"But Mom, that old man is spouting nonsense!" Natasha protested.

"Just shut up and be quiet," her mother insisted.

As their argument continued, a loud crash echoed through the shelter.

The wall suddenly broke, and the demons that had burned the city stormed inside.

"Uraaaaa! Uraaaa!" The guttural sounds of the demons filled the air.

"Mom, let's run!" Natasha cried, but there was no response from her mother. Natasha turned around to look at her and saw her mother's legs trapped under a huge stone. She was unconscious.

*Tak tak tak, tap tap...*

Natasha rushed toward her mother, desperately trying to remove the stone. "Mom, wake up! Please, wake up! Mom! Please!" she cried, but her mother remained still.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake. *Thud! Thud!*

Demons approached from behind. Natasha kept trying to lift the stone, but she was completely helpless.

The demons were closing in on her, raising their claws to attack. She shut her eyes in fear, bracing herself for the end.

Then, suddenly...

*Swoosh! Slash!*

"Hey, are you alright?" a young man’s voice reached the girl's ears. Upon hearing him, she opened her eyes and saw a strange group of people fighting demons. She was completely shocked but quickly asked the young man for help.

"Sir Knight, please save my mom. I’ll do anything, just please save her," the girl pleaded.

The young man responded, "My young lady, we will eventually save your mom and everyone who has suffered from the demons. You don’t need to do anything."

The man and his friends swiftly killed all the demons present at the location.

"Hurry, hurry! Leave this city and go to a nearby safe city! This one is done for," the young man urged the people of the city.

"But how can we leave?" one of the elders spoke up from the crowd. "This is our home. We’ve all grown up here. It's not easy to leave."

"You’re right, elder, it's not easy. But!" The young man raised his voice. "Tell me, how can you live in a city overrun by demons and monsters? And how will you provide food for the children? This isn’t the time for choices! You’re lucky to be alive, but how do you plan to survive here now? Your homes are already destroyed, and there’s nowhere to live. So tell me, how do you expect to stay here?" he demanded.

There was no response from the crowd.

The young man continued, "It’s better to move to another city for now. My comrades and I will kill all the demons. Until then, please hold out in the other cities. We’ve already prepared carriages, so start leaving this place now!"

The citizens of the city hesitated, but then someone spoke up, "He’s right, let’s trust him."

"Yeah, yeah," murmurs of agreement spread through the crowd.

Meanwhile young man with his own thoughts

Dammit from this all starts I really want to go home… with his sigh

And start the begning ….
