How does it feel to love someone? What does it feel like to have someone special?

When I walk the streets and see couples, I wonder: Will I ever find love?

When I see groups of friends, I ask myself: Will I ever have friends?

I... To be honest, it's hard for me to have friends ... All the people I considered my friends betrayed me ... They did not hesitate to do so ... They repented, but I did not forgive them.

I want to get true love.

I want to get a faithful friend.

As long as I achieve one of those two things, I will die without regrets.

“So... Could you become my friend?"- It was what I asked Yuik, the Vampire girl I rescued.

... Well... I think she has not realized that she is a Vampire ... After all, I turned her into a Vampire to save her.

She looked me in the eye and nodded slowly.

How did I meet her? Well... I will tell you my story first.

•

•

I was born in a village ... I was a simple commoner without big dreams. I just wanted to live a normal life. I never dreamed of being an adventurer or a hero ... But fate did not let me live in peace.

When I turned 15, I woke up a "job."

What is a job? All humans have a job. Shoemaker, Blacksmith, Healer, Lumberjack, Swordmaster, etc.

There are boring jobs, useful jobs, and legendary jobs.

Everyone dreams of having a legendary job, but not me. I wanted a useful job to get a job and survive ... Sadly, I woke up to the legendary job "Hero", and my quiet days are over.

The King forced me to enroll in a magic school.

Blah, blah, blah. Many boring things happened.

Many nobles tried to take advantage of me for being a commoner, but I ended up humiliating them ... I even killed several nobles, but that is not important.

I finished studying and set out on my journey to defeat the Demon King, along with my 5 fellow heroes ... And I considered them my best friends ... But they betrayed me.

"We must sacrifice Dreimo!"

"I'm sorry, Dreimo."

"It's for the good of humanity."

"Your sacrifice will be remembered forever."

"I want you to know that I love you. I am sorry."

"G-guys?"

In the fight with the Demon King, we managed to defeat him, but the Demon King's soul entered my body and tried to take over my body ... And my companions decided to kill me to also kill the Demon King ... Or so they believed.

They fell into an illusion.

"W-wait!"

The only male friend I had cheated on them.

He pierced my chest with his sword and whispered to me.

"I'll take good care of them."

... I knew this could happen ... All my friends were in love with me, but I always rejected them because I didn't feel anything for them ... And he got jealous.

—... "You have the soul of the Demon King."

I kicked him hard in the stomach and he flew off.

"Impossible! I destroyed your heart!"

During my adventure, I gained many skills ... And I hid them because I didn't want them to feel inferior to me ... I am immortal, they can only kill me by eliminating my soul.

"You have the soul of the Demon King, Valen!"

"He's trying to fool us! We must kill him! We saw when the Demon King's soul entered him! He is the Demon King!"

He created an illusion and tricked them.

I tried to convince them, but it was useless ... They tried to kill me and they didn't believe me ... And that made me angry ...

I stopped controlling myself and defeated them ... For the first time, I used 100% of my full power.

"Fufu. I underestimated you, hero."

And the Demon King used his latest transformation. He changed into a dragon.

Blah, blah, blah. A boring fight later, I managed to defeat him.

"Sorry!"

"We fell into a stupid illusion!"

"Please forgive me!"

"I don't want you to hate me!"

—... "We have literally been friends for 10 years ... And you didn't trust me ... They believed him ... Sorry, I want friends who trust me ... It's childish on my part, but it's what I want ... Goodbye forever. They can keep all the credit, I don't care, I'll go live in a forest or I don't know ... Good bye."

"W-wait!"

I ran away and didn't look back.

After that, I decided to start a new life.

In the fight with the Demon King, I sacrificed 99% of my total power to completely destroy him and destroy his soul ... But, even though I only retained 1% of my power, I was still stronger than an Orc. And if I trained, I could get stronger.

My plan was to get a job in a library, and I did.

I used transformation magic to change my appearance, as I did not want my fellow heroes to find me.

My red hair turned black and long, it covered my eyes, because I do not like to be looked at my eyes. Before I was handsome, so I modified my appearance to a more "normal" one. I became an average citizen.

Obviously, if I wanted to make friends or a girlfriend, appearance was important, so although it was normal, I was somewhat handsome. I wasn't as handsome as I was in my normal form, but I was handsome.

My life became simple.

I woke up, ate breakfast, worked, ate dinner, and slept.

A simple, but calm routine.

My whole routine was like this ... Until I met her.

"A sex slave?"

My boss sent me to pick up some books in another city, and since I'm used to traveling by running, I ran into the city ... And along the way, I found a bandit hideout ... I got used to killing all the bandits I came across, so I killed them ... And I found her.

—... "Hey... You are looking very badly."

A sex slave ... Something very common, unfortunately.

Her brown skin had scars ... She had no hands, they were cut off ... She also had no teeth ... They cut off her right ear ... And she had blindfolds.

"You don't have a tongue either ... You're probably blind ..."

I touched her arm to examine her better, but she began to shake with fear.

—... "You are very traumatized ..."

My healing magic is not as powerful, but I think I can at least return her vision to her.

I used my healing magic on her eyes.

I won't be able to use healing magic for a long time, maybe years, but it will be worth it.

"Ready... Yes."

I removed the bandages and smiled.

"It’ll be fine..."

A hopeless expression ... A cold look ... She has experienced much suffering.

—... "Got a family?"

She denied it. She has no family.

"Friends?"

She also denied it.

"Oh, I see..."

I will take a better look at her condition.

"[Analysis.]

... Several sexually transmitted diseases... And she's pregnant ... But her baby is dead ... Ah... This is disgusting.

—... "I must be."

I cut my finger with my teeth and put some of my blood in her mouth.

"Don't worry, it's a medicinal thing."

... Her diseases are disappearing ... Her wounds are regenerating.

I didn't want to do this, but I had to ... I turned her into a Vampire.

It's one of my skills ... I got it when I killed a Vampire Queen.

I have the immortality of a Vampire.

Now that she is a Vampire, she has immortality and a special body. She has the ability to regenerate. All her wounds will disappear and she will be a healthy girl again.

—... "You really suffered ... Would you like to come with me...? I want to have a friend ... So... Could you become my friend?"

She looked me in the eye and nodded slowly.

... Her teeth have already regenerated.

"You'll be better soon."

[Curse detected.]

[No communication: Possessors of this curse cannot speak.]

... I don't know how to remove curses.

People who become Vampires sacrifice their humanity ... And according to my research, new Vampires acquire a curse for divine punishment or something.

"How old are you? More than 20?"

She nodded yes.

"More than 25?"

She said yes.

"More than 30?"

Said no.

"Are you 28?"

She said yes... She is 28 years old.

"I have 26 years."

I patted her head and smiled.

"I hope we're great friends."

CHAPTER 2- The ability of a hero. Part 1.

I went back to my house and laid Yuik on the bed.

"Are you comfortable?"

She continues to tremble with fear and nodded.

She started to take off her clothes ... Ah, I was misunderstood. No wonder I can feel fear and sadness in her ... Think I will rape her.

"No."

I stopped her and patted her head.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything wrong to you ... I know it's hard for you to trust someone, but you can trust me ... Or at least try ... In my past life ... Well, in my first life, I was also abused ... But I managed to get on with my life ... You too can start a new life."

I took from my [Magic Storage], a razor with a special poison.

"If you cut yourself with this, you will die immediately without feeling pain ... When I analyzed your body, I realized many things ... You caused yourself many of your injuries. They removed your teeth to prevent you from committing suicide, so you used your hands to cut your veins, and that's why they cut them ... You had fractures in your skull, so you tried to commit suicide with blows to the head, but you failed ... Those bandits kept you alive to keep having fun ... That's disgusting... That is why I will give you two options. Number 1: Death. End your suffering right now and rest forever ... Number 2: Start a new life ... It's your call. I recommend number 2 ... I know you suffered a lot and you just want to die, but you have the right to move on with your life and forget the past ... All people deserve to be happy ... And it makes me sad to know that you will die without being happy ... I can see in your eyes that your whole life you have suffered ... How do I know it? Because you have the same look that I had in my first life."

I lifted my hair so she could see my eyes better.

"Please make a decision ... I really want to be your friend, I have no other reasons. I don't see you as a sexual object ... I want to just be your friend ... I want to have a friend ..."

I put the razor in her hands.

Thanks to her being a Vampire now, her parts regenerated ... She is already a physically healthy girl, but not mentally ... She is very traumatized.

"Make a decision."

She looked at the razor and placed it on her neck ... She's shaking, but I think she will.

—... "I guess you already decided ... I will respect your decision ... I will prepare a coffin."

I left the room and sighed.

"I really wanted her to be happy."

•

•

I have everything ready. I must bury her body in the forest.

I walked into the room ... huh?

"What are you doing?"

She is standing, looking at her hands and legs.

"Don't you want to die?"

Said no.

—... "Do you want to start a new life ...? Please wait."

I took a pencil and paper out of my [Magic Storage] and handed it to her.

"Write what you want to say."

She began to write.

She handed me the paper and I read it.

She says: "I want to pay you back for what you did for me. You look sad. I want to be your friend."

—... "It is not necessary, I will not force you to live."

She said no and walked over to me.

I handed her the paper and she wrote the following: "I will go to hell if I commit suicide, and I want to see my younger siblings again ... I can't kill myself. Please be my friend. "

"Are your brothers dead?"

She said yes... I see.

—...

I know Gods in person ... There is heaven and hell, but no matter how you die, only the actions you did while you were alive matter.

If she dies, it is very likely that she will go to paradise ... But I'm forbidden to mention that I know Gods ... And my words won't convince her ... The Rauk church prohibits suicide ... Yuik believes in that God ... Her family must have been very religious ... Names with a "K" at the end are very common for God Rauk believers.

... And she tried to commit suicide more than once ... Her despair and pain forced her to make that decision despite the fact that her God forbid it.

—... "Do you trust me?"

She said yes.

—... "Won't you betray me?"

She said no.

—... "Thank you."

She did not commit suicide because she wants to see her brothers again ... She's putting all her hope in me ... I can see in her eyes that she doesn't trust me yet ... Her gaze has not changed and she continues to tremble ... She hopes that I am a good person ... If she suffers again, she will completely lose hope and commit suicide.

"I promise you I won't hurt you ... I want you to be happy ."- I said smiling.

I raised my hand and she closed her eyes tightly ... She believed I would hit her.

I patted her head.

"We're not all bad ... Let's have dinner."

I walked away from her ... I must earn her trust ... It will take a long time, but I can do it.

I turned to see her ... She's walking with downcast eyes ... She has experienced much suffering. I want her to be happy.

CHAPTER 3- First day of freedom.

"I have finished my masterpiece! They should give me a food award for this!"

And my great masterpiece is ...

"Instant soup with Orc meat ...! Something simple, but delicious."

Where did I get the instant soup from? It doesn't exist in this world, so I went to another world to buy it ... Well, it don’t matter.

Orc meat is edible in this world ... In fact, the Orcs are almost extinct already, so it can be considered rare meat ... Although it tastes like pork.

"Let’s Eat!"

I sat down at the table, and Yuik took the food and wanted to sit on the floor.

"Hey, you're not my slave, you're my friend. Eat at the table with me."

Slaves are used to being treated like objects or pets ... And sex slaves have a worse fate, because they are doomed to suffer from the disgusting fetishes of their owners.

She eyed the chair nervously ... Getting used to being treated like a normal human being is hard for her after all she suffered ... The same happened to me... She still does not believe that she is finally free ... I can see that in her eyes.

"Hard to believe, isn't it? I understand you very well."

Too good.

"Okay... The floor is comfortable."

I took the food and sat on the floor next to her.

"Ready... Yes. We seem like good friends who are eating together after a long day of school."- I said smiling.

I started eating and she looked at her food.

I wanted to prepare something better, but I don't know how to cook.

"I'm sorry... I always eat alone, that's why I don't know how to cook."

My daily meals consist only of instant soups and Orc meat. I must learn to cook other culinary recipes.

"But I promise you I'll give you something more delicious tomorrow."

She looked at me for a few seconds and looked at her food.

... Yes, she already took her fork.

This food does not exist in this world. I want to see her reaction.

My old colleagues did not like it, they said it tasted strange ... Well, they were noble and used to fancy and expensive food.

Will Yuik like it? I hope so.

... She is not eating... She stopped when she was going to have some soup.

... She's shaking too much ... I can feel scared ... Too scary in her ... I think she's remembering something.

... I have a theory. Maybe she thinks I'm feeding her worms ... Or that the food is poisoned or something like that ... I've seen slaves being fed animal excrement, among other disgusting things ... She must have been fed very disgusting things, so she thinks I'm doing the same.

... Well, instant soup looks like very thin and long worms, but it's food ... She is afraid to eat.

"Oh, it's true… Friends share food. Let's do this. If we are to be friends, we must do things that friends do."

I took some of her instant soup with my fork and stuffed it into my mouth.

"Simply delicious! It's cheap, basic food, but it's delicious. Can you give me some of your meat?"

She looked at me and nodded slowly.

"Thanks."

I took some of her meat and put it in my mouth.

"Simply delicious! You should taste the food while it is hot."- I said smiling.

•

•

After seeing Dreimo eat, Yuik's fear lessened and she decided to eat.

She took some of the instant soup and popped it into her mouth.

Tasting it, she realized how delicious it was ... It was very different from what she ate before she met Dreimo.

She remembered the disgusting things that made her eat. "Look at the bitch, eating dirt!" "Eat all the dog poop!" "You're going to drink all of our milk, bitch!" "Don't throw up your food, it's rude! Eat the vomit on the floor! "

The bandits forced her to eat very disgusting things and they laughed watching her suffer and vomit.

All those disgusting memories invaded her mind in that instant ... And compared to what she ate before, eating delicious food after a long time made her cry.

She was crying because she realized that she was finally free.

At last she was treated like a normal person.

And all thanks to Dreimo, the person who saved her.

•

•

(Pov- Dreimo.)

She’s crying... I guess she's crying with happiness ... I hope so... Is the food disgusting ...? What if the people of this world taste disgusting ?!

My old companions were in love with me ... Maybe they told me it tasted weird so as not to tell me it tasted disgusting ... Maybe they said that so as not to insult my favorite food ... Uwaaaah! I ruined it!

"I-I'm sorry! Does it taste disgusting ?! Sorry, I didn't want to force you to eat that! It tastes delicious to me, that's why I thought ... Ah, I'm an idiot ...! huh?"

She began to eat faster.

"H-hey, if it tastes gross, don't eat it. Please, stop. I'll prepare something else for you."

"Ah... Ah..."

She tries to speak and approaches me.

"Ah... T-than ... T-than .... T-thanks."

... Yuik's curse does not allow her to speak clearly, but if she tries hard she is able to say a word ... She must have tried too hard.

Her curse is very powerful ... She shouldn't have been able to say that... She is the first person I turn into a Vampire ... Did she become very strong? I don’t know.

—... "Wait."

I took out a notebook and pencil from my [Magic Storage] and handed it to her.

"Please write. Don't try so hard."

She started writing and showed me the notebook.

She says: "Thank you for giving me delicious food and not something disgusting."

—... "Is it really delicious? Please be honest, I don't want you to eat something gross."

She said yes and wrote: "It is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life. Thank you so much."

"Did you like... Thank you.. Well, keep eating!"

I started eating.

I was scared because I thought I screwed it up, but she liked it ... I didn’t ruin it!

... Wow... She's finished... She ate exaggeratedly fast.

"Do you want more food?"

She wrote: "May I repeat?"

"Fufu. You're talking to an instant soup junkie."

I took a lot of instant soups out of my [Magic Storage] and showed them to her.

"There are different flavors! Which one do you want?! I have spicy, normal, with lemon, extra spicy, and a long etcetera!"

Despite having the same expression, I can tell that she is less afraid of me ... Little by little I am gaining her trust.

"You can eat whatever you want and all you want."

•

•

... Wow... She ate 6 ... She must have been very hungry.

"Well, we've finished dinner now. Come, follow me."

I went into the bathroom and turned on the electric light ... I made secret modifications to my house. In this world there is no electricity, so I had to improvise. The electric light bulb does not use electricity, it uses magic. I keep calling it electric out of habit.

The bathroom is very modern, unlike the bathrooms of this world.

"I'll show you how to use the bathroom."

She is watching everything around her nervously.

"Don't be afraid. Come."

She went into the bathroom.

Okay... Now I must explain how to use it.

•

•

Ahh... I finished explaining to her and she is already taking a bath.

"It was a long day."

I climbed on the roof of my house to gaze at the stars ... Ahh... This world is so different from my original world ... The world of the Gods is beautiful, but this world is also beautiful ... Although it has negative things, such as the sale of slaves.

"I wish to eliminate the sale of slaves."

"Fufu. Why do not you do it? Oh right, the so-called hero wants to live a quiet life and avoid trouble."

"Ah... Now what do you want?"

A woman appeared behind me and hugged me.

Santmanei ... Or just Sant ... The Goddess of Hell. Her long, tousled blonde hair, combined with her dark circles, make her look weird ... That's part of her charm, though.

"Why do you use that tone with me? We are very close. You must treat me better."

"If I could kill you, I would ... I'll repeat it again, what do you want?"

"Ah... Sometimes I forget that you are difficult to conquer."

She stopped hugging me and walked away from me.

"Did you fall in love with that **********?"

"Don't call her that ... And I'm not in love with her, she's just my friend ... My only friend."

"It's true, you don't fall in love with anyone ... Not even from me, who am a Goddess, a being superior to you."

"Oh, here we go again."

"Do you know how many men wish they were in your position? I am one of the most important Goddesses and ..."

"I am a ******. Blah, blah, blah. You are my first love. Blah, blah, blah. I want to have you all to myself. Blah, blah, blah. I've literally been hearing that for over 8 years."

"And I'll keep repeating it until you get tired and agree to be with me."

"I don't hate you, but your mother raped and tortured me."

"And should I pay for her sins?"

"No, but you are identical to her ... Same appearance ... I don't want to be involved with her descendants ... Now go."

"One day you will be mine."

She disappeared and I sighed.

"I want a normal life ... This is all I want."
