<u>Vermillion heart</u>


    <u>autor''s note</u>


    Hi, everyone, it''s Madza, hope you will enjoy ?Vermillion heart?.


    <u>Okay, why am I here?</u>


    Hi guys, the name''s Evan Grann a fourteen and a half years old boy, despite that I''m nearly one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, have medium-long curly light-brown hair and a little beard can be seen on my face it goes very well with my green and brown eyes (his eyes are green with small brown dots in it, he doesn''t have one green eye and the other brown) and I was supposed to be eating breakfast with my parents.


    So I would like to know why am I in a forest with nobody around me?!


    As I was endlessly rolling on the ground I thought ?Hey maybe I got summoned to an other world??


    Thinking that I began to inspect myself, no injuries, no pain, I was dressed with a simple T-shirts and a jean and my shoes of course.


    I observed my surrounding it didn''t seem to be the forest near where I live and I didn''t know any tree that had shinning purple leaves, that could only confirm what I was thinking, I wasn''t on earth.


    Maybe because I was a little shocked by what was happening I started to chant a spell that I thought of ?O spirit dwelling in the wood, come forth and be my shield!!? as I threw my arms in the air, but nothing happened. Maybe I wasn''t cut to be a mage.


    A little disapointed that I couldn''t cast a spell I lightly punched a tree, or so I thought, when my fist came in contact with the tree, I heard a lound detonation as the tree and all the other behind it in a range of several hundred of meters went flying, destroyed.


    After witnessing what I just did, I looked at my fist, and punched at full force a tree which was behind me, at the moment contact was made everything in my line of sight was destroyed and my sleeve was blown apart.


    I suppose I''m more fit to be a warrior than a mage.


    I tried to do a small jump but I literally flew at five meters above the ground.


    O fuck that isn''t good for my heart, no no no.


    It was the same when I tried to jog a little when I was looking for the end of the forest, I runned at like sixty kilometers per hour and when I thought I was going to crash in the trees they were sent flying so I stop and I tried to walk slowly, daim it was hard, and fuck now my clothes were all torn appart, good thing that it was quite hot here or I would be freezing to death.


    When I finally left the forest I started to think ?what was I doing here? I mean it''s unlikely that I was summoned since there weren''t anybody were I appeared and I didn''t met god so I wasn''t reincarnated either, not that I remember dying, of course, but man I was crazy strong.


    Where was I again, Ho yeah I had just escaped the forest , so when I leaved the bushes and the trees I saw that I was on a hill with short green grass, the wind blew through my hair, there were a road on my left it seemed it was made of dirt but you could see some slabs of stone here and there.


    You could see some cart pulled by what seemed to be cows with one horn on the middle of the forehead instead of two on the side.


    In front of me at maybe three hours with this kind of cart was a city, I decided to head over there.


    If I ran at full speed it would take me a few minute but I took my time thinking of what to do after entering the city, maybe the inhabitant of this world wouldn''t understand what I''m saying, Ho god that would be terrible, but that''s okay I don''t remember reading a light novel where the main character can''t understand the world language. Maybe I should become an adventurer with my power I could make a fortune.


    Before I knew it I was at the city''s gate, from what I saw it was a fairly rich city the wall were made of a type blue stone, it was pretty ugly but maybe this kind of stone was extremely solid or had resistance to magic, well whatever it was ugly that all I can say, above the gate there were a dragon battling with a giant-like creature in a shield curved in the wall it was surely the blazonry of this city''s lord.


    The guard had an iron armor with some strap of leather, well something you''d expect from a guard, and a rusty-looking one-handed sword, poor you if you were on a battlefield with that you''d be in some deep shit, just sayin''.


    As I was going to enter the town, the guard stopped me, well it was expected I mean what kind of shitty guard would let pass a suspicious guy whose clothes are torn apart, but I must say it was really funny to see this strong middle-age man, if I had to say he was in his late 30s, looking up to see the face of a fourteen and a half boy. What surprised me was that I could understand what he was saying.


    |Hey, sir why do you want to enter the city?|


    |Ho sorry sir, but it appear that I''m lost my way after escaping a party of bandit five day ago, I was wondering if you could tell the name of the country and the city I''m in ?|


    The guard''s face twisted in shock when I mentioned the bandit but he answered my question.


    |Well, it''s the city of Aena the capital of the Kingdom of Garmille, if I look at your clothes you must be a foreigner ain''t ya ?|


    As I was making a rather poor imitation of being shocked learning the name of the country and feigning despair I said.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    |O poor me, so far away from my home my mother must be worried to death for her fourteen years old son without a coin in his pocket, am I going to die a worthless death in the wild because I was unable to pay the entrance fee, O poor little me.|


    As I was waiting to pass I had saw that you must pay an entrance fee, so I tried to make my way without paying since I don''t have this world money. Seeing my pitiful act the guard for some reason took pity on me.


    |Wait, sir, one second you said you were fourteen years old, well … I mean one-second boy .. w-we can make a deal …. I know I let you pass and you make a request to the adventurer''s guild for me okay?...|


    When I heard this I jumped on the occasion.


    |Ho thank you, sir, everything you want, what must I say?!|


    The guard was surprised when I grabbed is hand, well maybe he was in pain too I mean I blew of a forest in one second with those hands, wait can I still call those hands I''m pretty sure I could call them nuclear weapons in the shape of hands, ooops I lost myself sorry.


    |Well when you arrive there ask for Ellen and tell her that a part of the Enni forest blew up earlier in the day and ask them if they could send someone to investigate it tell them it''s from Idgard.|


    When the guard (Idgard) said that I began to have cold sweat dripping on my face, fuuuck that was surely me who did that, sorry Idgard. Nevertheless I accepted I had to enter the city.


    |Okay sir, I will do it, here I go.|


    As I was leaving Idgar stopped me once again, god he is annoying.


    |Wait boy at least tell me your name.|


    Fuck what a dumbass I am, of course he need a name.


    I was going to tell my name but I for some reason stopped myself from doing so and gave a name that I used for my characters in game. As I turned my head towards him I said in a voice wich had seemed to lift a weight in my heart.


    |Ho I''m the god of Wrath: Apocalypse Vermillion|


    Why, why did I said that, even if I like this name why did I add the title crap, I''m just stupid.


    Idgard looked at me with doubtful eyes, but quickly stopped and said.


    |Vermillion huh …. think I heard of it somewhere but don''t remember where. Bah it''s surely nothing, go boy.|


    Weeeell he surely is a nice guy to not react for the god of wrath part, but the fact that the name Vermillion is somehow known was unexpected, boff anyway with my strength it''s not like somebody could defeat me.


    I asked my way to the adventurer''s guild and ended up in front of a large building, the design was simple, a rectangulare building it was surprising the batiment seemed to have glass windows mounted on wooden frame. The door frame was huge when I tried to open the door I pushed lightly the door didn''t moved an inch so I put a little more force, the door succesfully opened, well when I say succesfully I mean you can still somehow close it if you manage to pulled it off the wall.


    Yeah yeah I know I''m sorry but if they don''t make good door how are the people supposed to enter.


    Fuck the glare of the adventurers are quite heavy if I say so myself, I advanced in direction of what seemed to be a reception and began to talk to a beautiful young lady she must be in her early 20s and I said.


    |Salutation miss, Idgar send me to depose a request to a certain Ellen.|


    The young lady began to lightly sneer, I must say she''s is quite cute when she smile, her long read hair tied in a ponytail and her blue eyes make her look like a spirit of the nature, she''s not my type though.


    |To be called a miss aren''t you quite the charmer sir.|


    |No, no it''s just it''s just a habit of mine to called elder people miss and sir I''m way too young to begin to hunt the lady''s skirts.|


    A vein poped on the face of the Lady it''s obvious she''s mad.


    |It''s quite rude to call a woman in the prime of her youth old ... sir ...|


    Shit everyone froze when they heard what I said, fuck those eyes are the eyes of someone who is going to tear the guts of someone else and stuff them in their mouth (not in her mouth, the mouth of the guy who lost his guts, ''kay), help.


    |No no no no, I mean I''m just fourteen years old so when I said older I just meant to say that it''s me who is too young, not you who is too old …..|


    |What do you mean you are fourteen years old ?|


    |I-I mean I was born fourteen years a-ago .|


    The woman made a surprised face, I can understand, I mean, everyone say that I looked older than I am, on my first day of middle school the teacher send me to the last year classroom and gave me a detention because he thinked that I was making fun of him, poor me.


    |Anyway, could I see this Ellen?|


    The woman shook her head and said while looking quite flustered.


    |Ho I-It''s me, I-I''m Ellen.|


    Good grief another annoying one, wait aren''t I the cause of all that? Ho well, who cares, me? Nah can''t care less.


    |Ho sorry miss, as I said earlier Idgar send me to make a request.|


    |And what is it ?|


    |Apparently a part of the Enni forest blew up and he wanted someone to investigate it.|


    |Okay thank sir, we will take the request.|


    I thought of something that been bothering me and asked her.


    |Sorry miss but could I register as an adventurer ?|


    She was a little surprised but she agreed and took two orbs of under her desk.


    |What''s this ?|


    While pointing the one on the left she said it was a magic counter and the one the right was a power (physical strength) counter. Following her instruction I put my hand on the magic conter and tried to put my magical power in it, nothing came out, she was quite terriffied telling that someone that couldn''t use magic couldn''t exist because he would die due to magic poisonning, so we concluded that I was a poor magician and put on my adventurer card that I was an extra low level mage, but for the power counter she brag that it was indestructible, but just to make sure not to hurt her I striked the orbs with my fist facing the floor instead of giving a straight punch, well the result how could I say this, an earthquake, no more desk (same for the floor), a quarter of the adventurers who were there fainted, and we saw that the one who said that the power orbs was indestructible was a liar, so I''m now the only SSS-rank adventurer in the whole world (from lowest to highest: F-rank; E-rank; D-rank; C-rank; B-rank; A-rank; S-rank [by the way there is only five S-rank and the strongest of them didn''t even dent the power orb] and the SSS-rank), so I was registered as ?Apocalypse Vermillion the god of wrath? apparently nobody laughed at my title, not that I don''t understand I mean they just saw something presumed to be indestructible be destroyed easily right in front of their eyes.


    Quite a shame that I can''t use magic, so I''m suppose to be dead since I don''t have magic hmmm ….


    not that it''s important to worry about that since I''m alive.


    When my adventurer card was finished I left the building, those who were laughing when I arrived, are adverting their eyes now, quite a pleasant feeling to be strong.


    When I left the building a massive crowd had formed in the street.
