Chapter – 24 The forgotten hero and Ryan Smith

Kamensky:(awkwardly) First of all my name is not Kamensky it's Gary Dunford.

Jacob: It's an English name and I guess you are from Tubo-Dinor.

Kamensky:(irritated) Everything will become clear when I tell you all about my past.

Then Gary started telling everyone about his past.

I was once a Hero from another world which is very similar to the experimental world. I fought bravely with my comrades to protect the people of our world but one day when we finally reached the demon lord's castle they were no one alive.

There were just blood and corpses of demon soldiers. My party searched the whole castle and saw a kid covered in blood sitting in the garden behind the castle. I went towards him with my sword in hand and then he turned around and started looking at me. His eyes had no pain, love, greed, kindness, wrath, or pride. When he saw my reaction he said

Strange Kid: What are you trying to protect?

I raised my sword at that moment to kill that child because I realised how dangerous that child is but I was always too late to act. My sword disappears, when I look back all party members except for one are lying on the floor covered in blood. Their body was in pieces, the atmosphere was so horrible and creepy that I couldn't even explain.

Then I went towards the last person of my party to look at his condition but when I get close to him, I got stabbed by him. That last surviving member of my party, who also stabbed me was none other than Ryan smith himself.

Gary:(sobbing) Why did you do this?

Ryan: Bye, Hero.

After getting stabbed I fell to the ground but I didn’t feel any pain, then suddenly I saw myself in the clouds and when I see towards the ceiling it shows how people and demons in the world kill themselves. People who knew Gary were killing themselves and he can’t even stand up on his legs. Then the kid who kill the demon lord appeared in front of Gary.

Strange Kid: I am responsible for the death of all the people in your world.

Gary:(begging) Don't do this. Playing with someone's life is the worst possible sin.

Strange Kid:(very serious) I can't sin because I am not a follower of Truth.

Gary:(confused and scared) What do you mean?

Strange Kid: You wouldn't understand what I am talking about. After all how far you have seen after your world.

Gary:(angry) May the Holy light of Truth burns you to bits.

Strange Kid:(unhappy) Looks like you didn't love your family.

Then I saw my family tearing each other's flesh like wild animals. It was the worst scene anyone could ever imagine in his life.

Gary:(shouting) NO! PLEASE DON'T KILL THEM!!!! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!!!

Strange Kid: Sorry, for your loss but after I made up my mind to kill someone I don't stop until they are dead.

After the death of my family, I was broken into a thousand pieces.

Gary:(with a very low voice) Please, I am begging you to Kill me. I don't want to live in this rotten world.

Strange Kid:(happy) If I let you die who will provide me with entertainment.

Due to this event, I was traumatized and I started to think that this is all a dream which is going to end very soon but I realised soon that whatever is happening was not a dream that he was watching it is reality.

Then after a week, I realised I could get up on my feet again and after getting up I saw some stairs leading towards the ground so, I followed them. When I get down the stairs, I met Ryan who was sitting on a chair reading a book. He told me to sit with him on the chair next to him.

Ryan Smith: How are you doing, Mr Dunford.

Gary:(unable to speak properly) Not good.

Ryan: Is that so, I am afraid because I want to talk to you about a lot of things but anyway you could at least hear me out.

Gary: Ok.

Ryan: The kid who killed everyone and whom I worship is Fib. It is the strongest entity in the world after Truth in terms of strength. Its main plans are to destroy everything Truth has ever made.

Gary:(coughing while speaking) Does it have emotions?

Ryan: Nope, It is a purely evil entity made out of negative emotions from all the worlds.

Gary: What does he hope to accomplish?

Ryan: He wants to kill Truth and become the ruler of the Universe. He destroys our world because it is a creation of Truth and whatever Truth creates Fib destroys, it's the way this world works now.

Gary:(while sobbing) Don't you feel even a bit of hatred towards the person who killed our families, friends and people.

Ryan: Sometimes you have to sacrifice some innocent people to achieve something greater or something Noble.

Gary: Do you call killing people Noble.

Ryan: We are not killing. We are Sacrificing.

Gary: You can call it whatever but in the end whatever you are doing is the worst sin. You are going against the strongest deity in the whole universe.

Ryan: She came.

After that, I suddenly find myself in a huge castle. Then a voice came to him from behind the doors which said “Come child come”. The voice reminds me of my parents so, I rushed inside and find nothing but an empty hall.

Then I listen to the sobbing of a woman from every direction and after a while, I got confused because I didn't know from which direction the sound was coming. It was an endless hall with no ends.

Woman's Voice:(with a soft and gentle voice) I am so sorry for what happened to you.

Gary:(Confused and scared) Who are you? Show yourself.

Woman's Voice: Will you be able to see me.

Gary: I don't care if I die now so, no matter what you are I am not afraid to see you.

Then a woman came running towards me from the edge of the endless hall and hugged me.

Woman: Please don't say such words. All my children are precious to me.

Gary: Who are you?

Woman:(still sobbing) Sorry, I forgot to tell you who I am. I am the current Truth and the ruler of the Universe.

My mind still didn't overcome the events that I had seen recently and now I met with Truth the ruler of the Universe. My brain isn't capable enough to process this is what I thought but suddenly I feel light and relaxed. My head is not hurting anymore and I am not sobbing. I don't know how it happened but in my mind, I thank the lady in front of me.

Truth: I am sorry I am not able to protect your world.

Gary understands what she meant because Ryan told him that Truth is the one who created their world.

Then I saw her eyes and it was filled with various emotions like love, sorrow, hatred, pride, and happiness. They were the complete opposite of Fib.

Truth: The first attack led by the newest Fib is also a declaration of War.

Gary: Newest Fib?

Truth: Do you know how Truth and Fib came into this world?

Gary: No idea. Maybe like humans.

Truth: Let me explain, When a Truth's term is over it divides its negative and positive emotions. The positive emotions turn into another Truth and the negative one turns into Fib. When a new Truth is born its first task is to take down the Fib and recreate the world that he destroys. If in this process Truth loses then Fib will become the ruler of the universe. This time the situation is different because the older Truth have more negative emotions than positive ones which make the Fib more powerful than me. It became really hard to fight alone and the generals and Apostles will arrive after six months. Young man if I give you a chance to avenge your people will you come with me?

Gary: Of course, I will.

Truth: Good so, from now on you will be the 4th Apostle of Truth.

Gary: Who are the others?

Truth: What's the hurry. You will meet them when the time is right.

Later I get to know that Fib might try to take over this world so, I decided to come to this world and become a government official in Tubo-Dinor and meet you all.

Truth tells me that there is a different kind of organism known as Cobarus which are next to Truth in power is going to take Regan’s side because they thought that Truth is going to lose to Fib and if they will help Regan, he will defeat Truth and Fib when they will be tired of fighting.

I don't want to fight Cobarus but if they go against Truth, I am going to kill them all. Then Frey saw Miller, Jacob, and Miguel coming toward them and after that everyone went towards them but after seeing their gloomy faces, they think that something bad happens on their journey.
