"A deal with the Devil"

"Mister, can I get a creed from you?" a child approached Hera.

Hera hesitated for a moment, contemplating the child's request. "Uhm... sure, you can have this," he replied, reaching into his pocket and handing the child a creed.

Feeling a pang of guilt, Hera entered a nearby restaurant to satisfy his own hunger. However, as he sat down, the sight of the people he had encountered earlier kept haunting his thoughts. Their desperate faces lingered in his mind, urging him to take action.

Unable to ignore their plight, Hera made a decision. He left the restaurant and went outside, he gathered everyone with begging arms in that area. There were approximately 87 individuals in total, all in need of help.

Driven by a sense of responsibility, He used the remaining creeds he had to ensure that each person received a nourishing meal. One by one, he distributed the food, bringing temporary relief to those who had been suffering.

But that wasn't the end. Just as Hera thought his act of kindness had reached its conclusion, a gang unexpectedly stormed into the restaurant just after her paid ©900 for all the meals.

"We heard there's a Santa Claus here," said the gang leader, breaking the silence in the restaurant. The atmosphere grew tense, indicating that this encounter was not going to end well.

"Are you just going to play dumb?" the gang leader sneered as he approached Hera. "You must be new here, stepping on my turf."

"I don't know what you're talking about. If you'll excuse me," Hera replied, attempting to leave the restaurant. However, his path was blocked by another member of the gang.

"The guys you beat up at Conifer were my underlings," the gang leader declared, his voice filled with anger.

"They tried to steal from the weak. I only gave them what they deserved," Hera defended himself, standing his ground.

"You talk big, but how about I show you my stats?" the gang leader challenged, a threatening glint in his eyes.

In that moment, the gang leader unleashed his powers, revealing his formidable strength. Suspended in mid-air, Hera realized he had indeed crossed a dangerous line.

"What about we talk this out? I can refund all the things I took, including the money," Hera suggested, hoping to find a peaceful resolution to the escalating conflict.

"That won't be necessary because you die here," the gang leader responded coldly, dismissing any possibility of a compromise.

In that moment, Hera's mind raced as he quickly activated his foresight, seeking guidance for the best course of action. What he saw was his own demise, a grim and unavoidable fate. Fear gripped him, unsure of what else he could do to escape this dire situation.

Desperate for a way out, Hera mustered up the courage to propose an unexpected idea. "How about I join your gang?" he offered, his voice trembling slightly. He activated his foresight once more, hoping for a different outcome, but once again, he saw his own impending death.

here is how Hera foresight works, he can see 5sec of his future, he can do this 6 times in an hour because it takes alot of his stamina.
