The Guardian and Protector

Guardian There was a new virtual reality game out called "Fantasia" where you could be anything you wanted, except at the beginning you had three class options and the option you chose determined your path. The good thing is that you could choose your preferences of what class you wanted to be. I got interested in the game because of the ads and because all my friends were talking about it. I was able to buy this capsule because I am a guard protecting a mansion so when I entered I was instantly presented with a blue screen asking me various things like what my job preference was but most importantly it asked me what I wanted my class to be which I answered "Guard". When I answered, three blue options appeared. [Guardian of the capital] [Rare class]. A prestige position you will make sure that no monster or suspicious person passes the gates of the capital at any cost including your life. [This class can evolve]. [Dungeon guardian] [Rare class]. You make sure that no monster leaves the dungeon and that no adventurer passes without paying. [This class can evolve]. [Guardian of progress] [Rare class] [Rare class]. You will start from the bottom of a guard, but you will also be able to climb from the top of the guard job. [This class can evolve.]

4 Fatigue

I was making a desperate resistance my body was full of cuts or directly pierced by an arrow, at any moment I would faint from the loss of blood or die from it.

A swordsman came towards me, he didn't seem to want to attack me, maybe because of my dying state, so he spoke.

"Good warrior we are anti-slavery, your skills have surprised me so why don't you join our organization?" 

It was a tempting offer, but it was a class mission and besides I would be betraying my own comrades even though I have spent little time with them, I would not like to betray it was something that would follow me all my life.

"No." I answered in an agitated voice.

"Are you fit to choose a warrior? Look at you, it's a miracle you're still standing! Warrior, do you want to protect the person who takes away other people's dreams because?" the swordsman asked me.

"He is the one who hired me" I answered.

"Just for that? It's a pity to kill you such a talent, but you fell into the nets of evil, so I have no choice the act you did was something indelible in my mind, so I will give you an honorable death" Those were the last words of the swordsman.

He advanced towards me in a rough manner as if I was not a danger to his person.

I don't know if that was an opportunity or not, but with my last strength I ran towards him with a bloody body with arms that could barely hold a sword and a shield and legs full of arrows that trembled with the slightest movement.

My body fell under his feet and I saw how his sword was coming towards me, it was as if time was passing in a very slow way. 

 Why did I think it was a chance? And even if it was, what would I do with this mangled body? Is this the end of me? It wasn't. He stopped his sword to speak.

"It's incredible that you still have the will, but that doesn't help you warrior with the state of your body you should have joined us" The swordsman looked at me with disenchantment.

Just when he was about to stab me I saw how someone with a metal chest painted in green was running towards him as if his life depended on it, he also stopped his sword. 

"Captain, they have annihilated the first squad, we must retreat, we can't afford any more casualties!" Said the agitated man with a green painted metal chest.

"We retreat! For this time" Said the captain to his men, there was a lot of grumbling, but the captain made everyone shut up.

After that I don't remember anything, I guess the captain spared my life I tried to move my body, but my body was covered with bandages and I hurt all over.
