Chapter 1
I opened my eyes. I was no longer in the space with The Guide, but rather staring instead at the vast wilderness in front of me.
--
-
--
There weren't anything but the trees and a flowing river, and next to me was a weapon shaped like a short sword.
--
-
--
"So this is the world where I will be performing God's mission."(Constantine)
--
-
Standing up I got a sip of water from the river, after refreshing myself I saw myself for the first time in this new world. It was me from muscle to face, it was as if I regressed to my younger self when I was at my prime.
--
-
--
Looking at myself I can't help but think I was really handsome. Blonde with blue eyes, strong facial features, and white skin. Many women would ask if I was single but I would always reply "I dedicate my life to God".
--
-
--
I noticed as well that I was wearing my garments when I was a swiss guard! This really feels nostalgic, as if I had become a soldier again. The bright colors of blue and yellow on my uniform glimmering on the adjacent river make me look like an unbeatable knight.
--
-
--
"The Guide must've given me my body when I was still active as a swiss guard to lessen the burden of the sudden changes around me."(Constantine)
--
-
After investigating the body the Guide has given him I noticed that there weren't any signs of roads or civilization.
--
-
The next thing I did was test the weapon near me, I aimed the short sword at the tree trying to thrust and suddenly a small beam of light came out from the tip of the sword.
--
-
"So this is the power of the Ruler?"(Constantine)
--
-
--
Pondering on which direction I should head too I suddenly hear a voice who is crying in pain. While following the wailing sound of pain what I saw could only be described as infuriating and heretical. Constantine who has morals from his world seeing what can only be described as cannibalism. Unbeknownst to Constantine the Minotaur has already seen him but as he loses himself in disgust and rage he leaps towards the assailants.

Going from the Beastmen city Jeboa to the Dwarven city of Lisador was the Merchant caravan of the Minotaurian race, to be exact they are merchants who deal with slave trading.
--
-
--
Inside one of the carriages is a young woman in her late 20's with black and white hair and red eyes, but in contrast to her beauty her body was only bones as if she hadn't eaten for years. With despair in her eyes, she would not know that she would meet her savior.
--
-
--
"Hurry up and walk, we need to get to Lisadorf before The day of the Elves."(minotaur merchant)
--
-
(In this Magril continent they had their days under the names of species and ranking, the first day of week is the day of the Deities, then day of the Elves, the day of Dwarves, day of Demons, day of the Beastmen, day of the Savages, and lastly the day of the Monsters)
--
-
--
"Can you believe there are actually demands for these frail humans!"(Minotaur Guard)
--
-
"Apparently the dwarves and the demons had gotten a new use for them, well not that it matters to us."(Minotaur Merchant)
--
-
"But their only purpose is being cattle, I mean if we're talking about man power the orc race would be better."(Minotaur Guard)
--
-
"Well unlike our brethren I only care for money, but still incomparable to those bastard Dwarves who also care for new machines, precious materials and booze."(Minotaur Merchant)
--
-
"Hey boss, I'm hungry!! Is it okay to take a bite out of one of these humans?"(Minotaur Guard)
--
-
"Sure but leave the young ones alone, and if any die you'll pay for it."(merchant)
--
-
"Really! Thanks boss"(guard)
--
-
As the humans heard these they started to go to the innermost part of the carriage,though that did not stop the hungry minotaur from reaching in and grabbing the black haired woman ,who was the fattest amongst the slaves in the caravan, out of the carriage. After struggling helplessly the woman's arm was first dislocated before it was disconnected from her body. As the minotaur enjoys his snack the black haired woman is pathetically thrown back into the carriage before fainting from the excruciating pain. While the rest of the slaves could do nothing but watch in terror as this is the fate of the humans in this world.
--
-
--
As this was happening whilst they were passing through the forest they suddenly hear a tree falling, curious and cautious of what had happened, the Minotaur Guards arm themselves, but before they could form a defensive line, a small human suddenly appeared in front of them
--
-
--
"A human!"(Minotaur guard)
--
-
Confused at seeing a fancily dressed human in the middle of the forest the Minotaur acted carelessly and taunted the enraged Constantine.
--
-
"Hey human if you get in I'll only take-----"(Minotaur guard)
--
-

Constantine, enraged, did not even wait to listen for what the Minotaur had to say, but instead leapt towards them. But while he was in the air the short sword suddenly glowed and formed a halberd, which was Constantine's preferred weapon. However due to the sudden change of the length of the weapon Constantine missed his aim and only took the arm of the Minotaur.
--
-
--
The minotaur realising what had just happened screams in pain and the sound attracts the attention of everyone in the caravan including the slaves. The rest of the minotaurs realising that Constantine is a threat ready their weapons. Though that is not enough to match Constantine's speed.
--
-
--
Constantine realising he now has his preferred weapon finishes the handless minotaur lying in the ground mercilessly. Then hastily sprints towards the remaining 3 minotaur guards who have readied up their weapon to face Constantine. But Constantine, a veteran soldier with a holy weapon impales all 3 instantly killing 2 of them and leaving the last surviving minotaur guard writhing in pain on the ground. But Constantine, seeing as this is not enough retribution, slowly kills the last minotaur by slicing its limbs off and letting it die of blood loss.
--
-
--
While this was happening the fearful Minotaur merchant who was driving the carriage got out and tried to run however he was grabbed by the slaves and due to his small stature compared to his brethren could not escape the forceful grab, the slaves who realised the situation and found a way to retaliate to the slaver. Keeping him for as long as they can until Constantine arrives, noticing the struggling minotaur merchant and the vengeful gaze of his captives he becomes the conduit of their resentment and tortures the merchant slowly. Constantly cutting limbs and stabbing but before the minotaur merchant could die. Constantine feels as if this is not enough and fueled by his desire to not let the minotaur merchant die yet, he uses the healing power given to him and completely revitalizes the minotaur merchant only to repeat his torture once more. After almost an hour of this continuing Constantine's rage finally dissipates and he kills the minotaur merchant.

Year 211 on the 47th day of the Dwarves, a slave caravan manned by minotaurs heading for the dwarven city of Lisador has gone missing with all of its merchandise gone along with 40 slaves.
