1 Prologue

Inside a tavern with the name Red Mistress.

Cheers and laughter rang out the place.

"Hey, have you heard? Apparently, someone is granting wishes all over the city" A man with mohawk hair while a big sword is behind his back wearing leather armor said.

"What a load of bull. Probably some scammers fooling people or those religious lunatics are once again spreading their shit all around the city"

A much buffer man answered but he was only wearing casual clothes.

"Man, last I came here all I heard was diseases or something, and now I'm hearing about someone granting wishes?? This city is indeed entertaining hahaha"

This time it was a skinny man who seem untrustworthy because of the bags under his eyes.

It wasn't just them talking about the weird rumors.

At another table, someone was talking about it as well.

"Where did these rumors come from anyway??" Unlike the other people from the tavern that looks rough. This person looks pale and almost as if he was sick.

"I heard it began when some store owner met someone, people say that the store owner wished for money and the person granted him that"

A normal-looking man with iron armor answered him.

"But that doesn't seem like it's on the level of a miracle, maybe the guy was just rich"

"That's not all, of course, there are other rumors about that guy healing illness, restoring limbs, and even granting powers to them"

The pale-looking man frowned and questioned.

"What does the man look like?"

"Well he was wearing very unique clothes actually, I have never seen it personally but I heard people describe his fashion as something not seen in any nobility, he was wearing a black jacket and-" Before the normal-looking man could finished, he stop and he stared at the side where the door is.

"And what? What's wrong?" The pale-looking man asked before noticing the tavern has gone quiet. He then turned his head to where his companion is looking.

A man is wearing black clothes with white shirt, wearing a circle-looking hat standing there.

The entire tavern is looking at him and as if he was unbothered by the stares he walk casually to the counter and sat. The silence was eventually broken when a drunk man ask him.

"Hey going to the circus or something fella? I believe you got the wrong way hahaha"

"Hahaha"

"Hahaha, What's with this guy's clothes where did you get them? Hahaha"

Laughter rang out the entire tavern.

The man seemingly unbothered said calmly.

"I wanted to dress something unique, for you can consider my job unique as well" The man smiled. He wasn't particularly handsome but not bad-looking as well. With black hair and eyes that seem to sparkle like the stars, he seemed very friendly.

"What's your job? Silly dancing? Hahahaha"

"Hahaha, Why don't you entertain us with it? haha"

"Hahahaha"

The tavern was merry because half of the customer here was drunk.

The unique man ordered something before answering.

"Is that your wish?" He said while smiling at the man who said about silly dancing.

The man who was laughing was taken aback because he didn't expect the person to consider what he said. Suddenly a thought came to him about a person granting wishes all over the city before throwing it away as he doesn't believe in all that.

"Yeah, that's my wish do it then make sure you make us all entertained Hahahaha," He thought the man wasn't going to do it but just as he said those words the man stood up and started dancing!

Everyone was taken aback before eventually cheering and laughing.

"Hahaha, that's it man dance!"

"Can't believe he is that easy to talk to! Hahahaha"

"Do more spin! Hahaha"

The silly dance continued for a while, strangely enough, even though the unique person's dance wasn't funny, everybody was laughing, even the serious pale-looking man.

After a few minutes, the dance was over and the unique man bowed. Everybody clapped.

"Hooo! do another one!"

"You got talent young man hahaha"

"Do it again! hahaha"

The unique person smiled seeing all these.

"Are you sure? I'm a generous man, is there something any of you wish here? Perhaps I might grant it again" He said while looking at everyone.

Some people realized something that this man may be related to the rumors but of course, they don't believe it while others were too drunk to care.

"Oh yeah, then show us some magic then, keep us entertained! Hahaha," The same man who wanted the silly dance once again spoke.

"Unfortunately I can only grant wishes to one person at a time" The man looked at him and said with a sorry smile.

Before he could say something, another man said something.

"Then how about treating us all drinks then! Don't worry I won't order something expensive! Hahahahah"

"That's a great idea!"

Other people supported him. The unique man then turn to him and said.

"Is that your wish?" This time some people are thinking something weird.

The man who asked for the treatment of drinks seem oblivious to it and just said.

"Heck yeah! I think that's what everyone wants here!"

The unique man then nodded and went back to the counter and grabbed something from his pockets and placed it on the counter before saying.

"The drinks are on me"

Everyone then quieted down before erupting in cheers but this time it wasn't all of them that did so.

The man at the counter check the small bag, it was full of gold coins, coincidentally enough, the coins were the exact amount worth of drinks he stored today.

More than half the people were celebrating and thanking the unique man.

The unique man once again turned around and said.

"Well then, who would like to be next?" He said calmly while looking at them.

This time everyone quieted down, even the drunk ones now noticed that's something weird.

Suddenly someone who seemed to have come to some sort of conclusion shouted something.

"Give me strength!"

All the people in the tavern turned to look at the youth with leather armor and freckles who shouted, including the unique man.

The youth receiving all those stares, suddenly was embarrassed and was thinking of sitting down before the unique man said something

"I advise you to be specific," He said calmly as if the youth's wish was trifle and can easily be done. The tavern was still quiet. Everyone was watching what's gonna happen.

The youth who shouted because he somewhat believe the rumors about someone granting wishes answered.

"I... want to have the strength to avenge my family" He said shyly and as he said that he realized how ridiculous he was and stupid for thinking of the rumors as real and for believing that strength can easily come.

"Hmnnn that's a bit tricky... but.. Is that your wish?" The unique man simply smiled. This time everyone felt something different when he said 'Is that your wish'.

The youth stuttered before answering.

"Ye-Yes"

Then before he could react the unique man pointed at him white energy or mana shot to him.

Before he could understand what happened, he suddenly felt strength coming from him to the point that he formed an aura around him.

Everyone was shocked seeing that, they didn't notice the unique man disappeared.

But the surprise wasn't over yet, the aura around the youth that was colored bronze slowly turned to silver before turning gold.

This time everyone was shocked beyond compare. Golden aura represents a gold rank warrior and a gold rank warrior is a powerful warrior enough to bring fear and get a noble title as high as a Count! A gold rank warrior is supposedly able to defeat 1000 ordinary soldiers easily.

The youth was the most stunned of them all, he was feeling strength he couldn't have imagined and as he lifted his head to look at the unique man, he was gone! Everyone did the same and they were shocked to discover that the unique man was gone.

Everyone was beyond disbelief and for while they couldn't say anything before erupting with shock voices!!
