1 a true beast

As i was gazing into a white room in my white bed. I was asking myself why i was here. How did i get here, when did i get here, where are my servants? Let me scream for them. Wait…. how is it possible. my arms. My arms are back said the man crying. It was all because of that damn treasure. about an hour later he finally calmed down. it seems like I remember almost everything. Let's check my memories again.

I am Tayer Fort I turned 23 years old last month. I was born in the country of prostátis. I have 4 siblings all 4 of them male and i am the youngest one of them. None of them was rich but we weren't poor either. We all looked the same we weren't tall but not too short(1,70m), We didn't have white skin that got us a lot of attention anywhere we went. As for my celebration i went to another town. the reason i went to the other town was because most of my siblings lived there and we would celebrate with rum. I had to walk, because i didn't have enough money to take the horse and to be fair i love the road towards the other town its gorgeous. The road towards it was perfectly paved and the trees surrounded the road but even their branches never touched it. While i was traveling i decided to visit the graveyard my grandparents rested at. They were soldiers that served the king but only got dead in return. The kingdom was in a need of soldiers and for a while even accepted females. eventually they all died, but even their last family member my father didn't get money from the king. Thank god he got taken care of by their friends or else i wouldn't have ever been in this world. i decided to take a shortcut towards the graves. I went left towards a small road that looked like it wasn't taken care of for years. The gorgeous scene was replaced small road were i could only look 2 meters in front of my while the sun was still up. The branches of the trees blocked all the light and i only saw a few light beams. i felt fear for some reason. I didn't see anything so i decided it was all in my head an forced myself to walk forward. The feeling kept getting worse and it felt like a beast would attack me at any moment. I was around 100 meters away from the graveyard so i was running towards it with all my strength. I heard something running behind me. I didn't look at what it was i heard of it many times before. the story that adult would tell their children. the monster that lived in the forest''the cazador''. I don't matter how long you run it will get you. but it had one weakness it couldn't stand sunlight. My heart felt like it would jump out of my throat at any moment. I knew that if i ran towards the graveyards Cazador would stop chasing me. As its footsteps got closer to me i finally saw some light. I knew i couldn't run anymore. so, with the last of my strength i jumped towards it. I landed painfully on the uneven paved road. The light was more than enough to cover me. seconds passed slowly and i looked at where the Cazador should be but i didn't see anything. I felt like it was still looking at me, but he was too scared to get into the light. I felt scared to but not only from the beast that was trying to devour me but from something in front of me. It felt like something was choking me. I couldn't breathe anymore. My heart stopped. What is happening what kind of monster could give of such aura, but that thought got quickly replaced by: so, this is what dying feels like. My life didn't even start yet. I don't have a wife yet. I was never planning to become a soldier or a warrior but i never expected me to die before i was 40. I had the option to walk towards what scared me so much to see if it would kill me or i could walk back towards cazador and die for sure. I decided that i wouldn't choose the latter one. I walked towards the aura when i was close to it. I couldn't see anymore. I had to walk by instinct. After walking forward for 5 meters the fear was gone, i could see again and the pressure seemed like it never existed. I kept walking forwards eventually i saw six swords that were attached by chains to each other. It looked like somebody threw them in here. Like someone wanted to get rid of a beast they couldn't ever tame or kill. They were just left in the middle of the road. maybe Cazador killed the owner and dragged of the body somewhere. YES, it had to be that. The swords seemed like they were the reason why no tree branches were surrounding the place. It felt like a trap and i got scared again but it got quickly subdued by my greed. I could probably make a fortune with these swords. I could live a pleasant live and have enough to make all my siblings live great. Never feeling like we were poor again and never getting laughed over it again. I made up my mind and started walking towards the swords. since i was closer the swords got clearer. each one of them gave off a weird vibe. It felt like if i touched one it would eat me alive. I walked towards them with thinking of nothing else but money. When I first touched the swords, a cold chill went through me. I passed out. I didn't know for how long but i passed out for less than 3 hours. The swords started levitating. Each sword was 1 meter long and looked extremely sharp. After i sell them i won't ever have to worry about money again. I might even be able to sell this for millions. I tried to stand up but to my surprise my arms were gone. It didn't seem like someone cut them off they were just gone. There was no wound it looked like they never existed. I cried for hours until it seemed to be getting dark. I had to run before Cazador returned. I tried to run but i could only walk. It seems like since my arms my balance totally changed. The swords were cursed. That why someone left them here. I got onto the main road hoping that see someone with a carriage. I was lucky and a noble let me ride with him after i lied that i used to be in the army. The noble thought i was a sorcerer after he saw how my sword were levitating. He begged me how to teach him this sword art. I lied again by saying you could only achieve it by cutting your arms off after you mastered all the sword arts. The noble quickly said: never mind. After the carriage took me home i finally felt how tired i was and how much my eyes hurt. It took me a while to get used to the new lifestyle. It felt like i had 6 arms i could use anytime. I also found out i could change the shapes of the swords. I could make them as thin as paper but also as tall as a tree. It seemed like the longer and thicker i have the swords the slower the swords are. The thinner and smaller it is faster the swords are. I decided to run away from my town because the swords were something other people would kill a country for. A short while later i found a master who would teach me the art of sword and poison. It took me a year to get truly used to my new balance and learn how to control my swords and how to use them for my daily life.

After another year of I was known as'' the six fanged spider'' warriors, fighters, monks, mages, archer and assassins. whoever stood in my way got pierced by my sword. The moment my sword cut you would be your last one. That's because i coated my swords into poisonous plants. Such as the poison ivy and the poison sumac. I gave each sword a different plant and held onto all the vials i kept my poison in. I eventually was one of the top fighters of the kingdom. Many kings heard of me and each one made the option of killing me if I didn't join them. So, my daily life had 1 to 6 assassins per month. Eventually a king send his number 1 assassin squad to kill me. If my sword was a second later, I would've been dead. After I killed that squad no assassin dared to even come close to me. Any country I went to treated me highest quality of everything. I felt like i was on the top of the world and that everyone else was a second-rate human. i decided the send my siblings as much gold as i could to help them. I was still scared that they would be killed so i never delivered the gold myself and used a servant to secretly contact them.

Until 8 months later the berserker arrived. He was the king of the country I originally came from. After some shady people in grey robes gave him a treasure, he became their pet. He could bend iron like paper even the sky was under his feet. Everybody he met would bow for an hour hoping that he would not kill them. He killed around 17000 civilians which was around 30% of his population. but for the others it was too late. The king's army went to arrest everyone of high treason, and they all got executed. only one of my siblings escaped the country. When they heard he was my brother he was captured and taken hostage in the palace. I headed towards the king with my only 2 friends who were more like brothers to me. Each of them was about as strong as me. They were known as: Heart and Dracunculus. Heart was a monk that got enlightened. His staff was also a treasure it could create soundwaves and make one never want to challenge a monk again. But he payed for it be sacrificing his own ears. Dracunculus was a blade master who could control fire. Rumor was that he once made a king lick his boots by threatening with war. His treasure was also a curse he wasn't protected from the flames and was covered heavy burning wounds. They went on horses i controlled my sword to carry me. I could fly for around a day or 2 before i got tired. We went through some towns and collected as much information we could on the berserker. Every villager gave as much of information as he could after they saw my swords. We knew the shady people were in the palace. We had no choice but to kill the king. From the information we gathered the king had 3 powers: extreme strength, regeneration and he couldn't feel pain. We knew we had to fight with all our strength to even wound the king. We decided that Heart would capture the shady people.

We headed towards the palace but to our surprise he was already waiting for us. the palace ground was painted red and the flowers that were in the garden were withered. I hadn't seen any human or animal close to the palace. There was about 100 meters between us and the Berserker. The skinny, small loved king was replaced by an enormous buffed 3-meter man. The only reason I could recognize him was because of the crown on his head. his originally white robes were painted with red, nails looked like claws. He reminded me of the Cazador. It seemed like they merged together. Yes, the one weakness the Cazador had was gone when he merged with the king. It had become a true beast. It even gave me a feeling of suffocating. The last time i had felt that was when i was flying for the first time. His eyes looked towards our direction, but he wasn't looking at us. I exchanged a quick look with my friends. They nodded at me. That meant that they were ready. Heart and Dracunculus stepped of their horsed and kept flying on my swords. We decided that i would attack him in the sky and Dracunculus would burn him to death on the ground. There was no saving him now he was simply a puppet. We walked towards him. When we were 50 meters away from him his eyes clearly locked onto mine. BERSERKER YOU DARE TO CAPTUR... I couldn't event finish my sentence and he was already sprinting towards me. No this wasn't sprinting he was running on his all four like a dog. I don't remember much after that. but I remember me stabbing him dozens of times, but he kept healing and charging towards us. We didn't expect his regeneration to negate the poison i had on my swords. Dracunculus fire was negated to be his regeneration. He sacrificed his life to stop his movements for a moment. I stabbed him in the chest with all four of my swords. When i saw that he could only die by decapitation i used the other 2 to do it. I saw his head rolling and knew he was truly death. Right before i fell to my death i appeared in this room. It seems like all my wounds are gone to. I got to find out where I am. My swords are gone to. I must find them fast. My one and only true partner for 3 years. As I stepped out of the bed, I saw a door appear right in front of me.
