I remember recruiting people to my army, they were all almost inexperienced against humans because they were adventurers that only hunted monsters. Well, I was the youngest one in the army and I was the leader captain of the army, we were all ready to battle the elves and so the fight started on a hill, the elves outnumbered us one to five but we were able to hold until the end.

Only two soldiers were still alive, one of them was me and one of them was a mix of an elf and an orc, he was four times larger than me, my magic did nothing on him so I charged at him with my sword, I was somehow able to kill that thing but I was heavily wounded, a sword scar starting from the left of my neck to my left eye, an axe blow to the left side of my stomach and my left leg was already gone home. The rain started, the sky was now filled with gray clouds. I was able to lie on a rock and I started to look at the bodies.

The baker that gave me free bread, the bard who sang great songs, the father that showed pictures of his child's, the vice-leader that had a crush on me. They are all long gone, I hope the other armies gain victories because this is our last chance as humanity. We have been pushed back from our continent and now only humans left were in the elven continent. That actually sounds like we were the invaders and they were the ones who were protecting their land. Amazing, I will die as a bad person.

And then I saw a figure with the corner of my left eye but my left eye was wounded as well, so I doubted myself and then turned my head to see something that left my mouth open.

A golden person?!

A person was wearing a golden robe, a golden plague doctor mask, golden gloves, golden boots and that person was also carrying a huge golden cauldron on his back. He put the golden cauldron on the ground and poured water and a potion inside after that he picked up swords and tossed them into the cauldron. He pulled the swords up, all of the swords were now golden swords. My mouth was left open and then that person looked at me.

He noticed me!

That person looked like a monster to me, so I tried to pick up a sword but I failed.

 Fuck! I can't even hold a sword to protect myself.

And then that person arrived, he just stood in front of me and he started to walk to me, he crouched down next to me and spoke.

"You are the commander?"

"Y-Yes."

"You look like you are hurt, are you hurt?"

This question seemed like a dumb question, this was dumb enough to make me laugh.

"I am good."

"Okay, have a nice day."

That person stood up and started to walk away, I was surprised at his dumb reaction.

"I am actually dying," I said, that person turned to me and he crouched down near me again.

"Should I help you?"

"Hah! Only the pope can treat wounds like this." I laughed.

He sounds like a weird guy.

"I can help you."

"How?"

"But this will hurt a lot. I don't want to hurt people."

He is a good guy?! Let's hear his answer.

"It is better than dying so."

"Okay." He stood up and started to walk to his cauldron, he picked up the cauldron and brought it near me, the cauldron was full of melted gold. He picked up a small jar of a slime from the inside pocket of his robe and then he filled the small jar with the melted gold, he closed the seal and started to shake it, he turned to me while holding the small jar.

"W-What are you going to do to me?" I was scared of him and the thing he was holding.

"Your wounds will turn into gold and these will act as a bandage, a perfect bandage."

"A perfect bandage? You said it was going to hurt a lot."

"Yes, this is melted gold after all. I am only able to hold this jar because of my golden gloves they are resilient to heat."

"Y-You are going to pour melted gold on me?!"

"Yes but not just any melted gold. It is mixed with a healer slime like I said this is the perfect bandage."

"O-Okay, do it but can you attach a limb with that thing?"

"Limb why? All of your limbs are intact."

"Intact? Can't you see I am missing a left leg?"

"Wait, I thought every human was missing a limb because everyone I looked at was missing something."

"What? Wait, tell me this kingdom's name."

"I don't know anything about this world I am new to this."

"Y-You are a summoned hero?!"

"No? I grew up in those mountains over there with my father. He was the only human I talked to and you are the second human that I talked to."

"I-I see."

A sheltered kid in this age.

"I have a question to ask before I do this."

"Yes?"

"From what I have seen all of the soldiers have a flat chest plate but yours is bumped? Is it because you are a commander?"

No way, don't tell me this guy doesn't know about that?!

"D-Do you know what a female or a male is?"

"I don't. What are they? But before you answer me I need to attach your leg because you are bleeding too much." He picked up my left leg and put it together, they were still unattached and then he started to pour the melted gold, It was so painful that I passed out. And when I woke up the rain was gone and he was mixing his cauldron.

"W-What happened?"

"You passed out from pain, don't worry I treated all of your wounds. So tell me about males and females."

"Well, you must be a human male. Wait are you even human?"

"Yes! That is one thing I am sure of."

"The battlefield is full of males except me, I am a human female."

"I see, I see and you are the commander."

"Oh about that how did you understand that I was the commander?"

"That was because you were the only one who looked different from the other soldiers."

That is because I am a female. How innocent is this guy, I have the right question to ask him.

"Do you know how babies are made?"

"Of course I do! I am not a child, they come from the sky into the beds of the parents." I burst out laughing, this person was too innocent.

"You are right, let me tell you about everything that you don't know." I started to explain that person everything about this world, he was like a child listening to his grandmother and then a question caught me off guard.

"So, the bigger the women's breasts the attractive they are?"

"Yes, though there are some other factors such as the face, ass, body, and personality."

"I see but why do you cover your breasts with bandages? I saw them while treating you."

"W-What!" I was so embarrassed that I covered my breasts, a child's curiosity is something very dangerous.

"T-That is because m-my breasts are too large to fit inside the chest plate."

I can't tell him that I have a complex about my breasts.

"That makes sense! Now, I know everything about the world."

"I have two questions for you."

"Oh, questions I like them."

"First one is why are you making golden stuff and tossing them on the ground?"

"I can't carry that much and the reason I am doing that is I like gold."

"Okay, my second question is what is your name?"

"Name? My father used to call me idiot why did you make a mess."

I am pretty sure that was your father yelling at you.

"What did he call you all the time?"

"He called me. Midas. What is your name?"

"Captain Alysianna but you can call me Alysia."

"Okay Alysia, thank for informing me about the world. I will be taking my leave. Please don't move because the gold isn't frozen yet." He picked up his cauldron and left just like that.

What a weird person. Oh, the reinforcements were going to arrive in a couple of hours, now I will have to wait for them.

And that was the first time I met, Midas The Gold Alchemist. Everyone was going to know his name in seven years but his reputation was going to be known for turning people into gold.
