I regained my consciousness

I can’t move my body. What’s this? Why am I tied into a wood? Where am I?

Where’s the people and who is this person in front of me?

Adventurer: You’re awake.

Akira: Why am I in this situation? Who are you?

Adventurer: My name is Mordred and I’m the leader of the party that came to defend Silvershire.

Mordred: As you can see, we’re in the outskirt of Silvershire because you cast a powerful magical spell called The Eternal Flame and the only one who can stop the flame is the caster.

Akira: So you’re saying that my hometown got destroyed because of me?

Mordred: Yes and you need to stop The Eternal Flame because it will spread and may cause damage to the nearby town.

Akira: but… I don’t know how. It’s just my first time to cast a magic.

Mordred: I can see it in your eyes that you’re not lying. I’ll teach you how to stop your own magic. First you need to concentrate and control your mana. After that, imagine stopping The Eternal Flame.

Mordred: Go do it

Akira: Yes, I’ll stop my own magic.

Concentrate and controlling my own mana…. Then visualizing on stopping The Eternal Flame…

The flame go smaller and smaller until it’s gone.

Akira: I think I did it

I looked at mordred’s face and he isn’t saying anything. I think he is thinking something.

Mordred: I just used telepathy and contacted my comrades. They said that the flames are all gone.

Akira: That’s a relief. Where’s the villagers? Are they safe?

Mordred shouted

Mordred: COME OUT!

The villagers looked angry and they’re holding various weapons like pickaxe and rocks.

Villager 1: DEMON! YOU DESTROYED MY HOME

Villager 2: BECAUSE OF THAT FLAME. MY DAUGHTER WAS BURNT ALIVE!

I can’t believe that I did something wrong. All I want to do I avenge my mother and protect myself.

Villager 3: YOU SHOULD DESERVE TO SUFFER AND ATONE FOR YOUR SIN!

My mind goes blank

Villager 2: YOU SHOULD BE BURN ALIVE!

Mordred: Calm down everybody! This kid named Akira destroyed your village and killed your love ones. Mordred: For his punishment he will become a slave and will atone for his sins for the rest of his life.

Akira: I DIDN’T MEAN TO BURN THE VILLAGE!

Mordred: So you’re saying that because you can’t control your power. You are exempted for the wrong doings that you’ve done?

Mordred: Human race can’t use dark magic. Only demons can use dark magic.

Akira: I’m not a demon!

I’m angry…. My heart is beating fast… my head is starting to hurt a lot.

Mordred: Hey kid, what are you trying to do?

Villager 1: What’s happening to that demon?

Villager 2: Is that kid growing a horn?

Akira: UGHHHHHHHH!

It hurts so much, what’s happening to me?

Mordred: People, stay away from the demon!

Villager 1: So he is really a demon. Look at the horns that are growing into his head

Villager 2: A demon, disguising as a human! That’s why the trolls raided our village. You’re the mastermind of the troll raid!

Villager 3: MY HOME, MY FAMILY ARE ALL GONE BECAUSE OF YOU!

The rest of the adventurers in Mordred’s party are surrounding me.

Mordred: Don’t let that demon escape. Prepare to neutralize him!

Unknown voice: It seems you’re in a deep trouble

Akira: So the price for this power is to become a demon.

Unknown voice: Yes and I told you that you must abandon your humanity in order to have a great power.

Unknown voice: Since you’re out of mana. I’ll help you get out of this situation.

The ground is shaking. Something is coming out of the ground. A skeleton??!
