The Betrayal of Love.

The sun was slowly rising up above the skies as the moon slowly faded away to make room. A beautiful ancient city of Valhalla, which seemed to be stuck in a North Germanic era, was illuminated by the bright morning light. In the center of the city was a large building, the Adventurer's Guild main base. Inside the structure, a young man and woman were standing together at the lounge tables, facing a middle-aged man who was almost finished with his breakfast.

"I'm not in love with you anymore, Nasser Virginia," the young woman, Alicia Virginia, said bluntly. She was a fair-appearing woman with beautiful blond hair and blue eyes, now 18 years old. The sudden confession from his wife was met with a heavy silence, and Nasser's shock was almost palpable. The atmosphere in the room was tense, and the sound of the morning birds chirping outside seemed to be the only thing that could be heard. The sun's rays shone through the windows, creating a warm, peaceful atmosphere, but the mood inside the room was anything but peaceful.

It was about to be just another usual day at the guild, but those sudden, shocking and unexpected words coming out of the mouth of his beloved wife shook him to the core. "What did you just say?" Nasser asked in confusion, and within moments, the area full of young and old adventurers at the lounge section, which was filled with noise and bustle, quickly became dead silent. Everyone was stunned, as they had never heard such a thing before. Even the birds outside stopped chirping, as if they too were taken aback by what had just been said. The air was thick with tension and anticipation, and no one knew what to expect next. All eyes were on Nasser, waiting for his response.

She was unable to say anything else after what he asked her in shock, Nasser Virginia was taken aback from the sudden news and turn of events but he quickly caught himself and came back to his senses and fully asked her again this time, "What do you mean that you don't love me anymore, Alicia Virginia?" He asked her but before she can give an answer, the young man standing next to her and facing him suddenly cut in and answer for her. "You have to be kidding me! You still don't understand the situation at all, do you old man?" The young man arrogantly said with a loud voice, his appearance was black hair color, and black pupils, and a strong body with his muscles clearly shown on his arms, and instantly, Nasser recognize him as no other but The Legendary Hero from another world named, 'Kōji.' His voice was strong and powerful, like thunder, and his presence was overwhelming and intimidating. He had a determined look in his eyes, and a haughty smirk on his lips. He stood tall and proud, and his aura was one of strength and mischief. Kōji spoke with false conviction, "Alicia, you don't have to answer him. I will take care of this for you." His words were reassuring and comforting, and Alicia felt a sense of relief wash over her. She knew that she could trust Kōji to handle the situation.

Nasser was shocked by Kōji's sudden confession. He had been helping Kōji learn the ropes in the guild and training him to become stronger each day, but he had no idea what was going on. "What do you mean?" Nasser asked, his voice shaking with surprise. Kōji then replied, "Alicia said that she would rather be in a relationship with me than with you." He then grabbed Alicia's arms and pulled her close, pressing his lips against hers in a passionate kiss. Alicia was speechless, feeling a mixture of surprised and naughtiness. Nasser was so invested in helping Kōji and Alicia, and now it seemed like all his efforts had been for nothing. He could only sit there, watching as the two embraced in front of him. He felt betrayed, and he knew that his life would never be the same.

Kōji made the first move and intertwined his fingers with Alicia's, holding her hand in front of everyone in the lounge area. In this world, it was unorthodox for a married woman to kiss another man in front of her husband, and Nasser stared with disbelief. Alicia's eyes appeared troubled, yet she seemed to not mind it as she deepened their kiss in each other's arms. She appeared to have gotten used to it. This new experience was a shock to everyone present, but Alicia seemed to be embracing it, showing that love can be found in the most unexpected places. As Kōji and Alicia shared their passionate embrace, Nasser's heart was filled with a mix of emotions, ranging from shock to anger.

Nasser Virginia shouted, "Hey! Stop it right there! Do you have any idea what you two are even doing!" as he got off of the table he was sitting on and began to get angry. Kōji's handsome face quickly distorted into a ugly expression, clearly meant to make Nasser uncomfortable or scare him. Alicia spoke with a little apologetic tone in her voice, but mainly didn't seem to truly care at all, as she said, "I'm sorry, Nasser, but I love him." Nasser could see the truth in her eyes, and he knew that there was no use in trying to stop them. He was filled with a mixture of emotions, from anger to sadness to confusion, as he watched them embrace each other in a passionate kiss. He could feel the heat radiating from their bodies, and he knew that this was something he can't change.

In a fit of rage, Nasser quickly stepped in and grabbed Kōji's shoulder, attempting to pull him away from his wife. "I can't believe this! I won't accept it! Me and Alicia are a married couple and we're still a couple! What you are doing is a very sinful act - Adultery, Kōji!" he shouted. The Legendary Hero stopped making out with Nasser's wife and turned to look into his eyes. "Who's commiting Adultery? The only reason I am doing this in front of everybody is to eventually get rid of you!" he said, his voice full of anger and determination. Nasser was shocked by the Hero's words and could not believe what he was hearing. He had to take action against the Legendary Hero for taking his beloved wife away from him. He knew that no matter what, Alicia was still his wife and he had to protect her. He could not stand to see her be taken away from him by someone else.

Kōji didn't hid his intentions and said it out loud to him bluntly without any hesitation as Nasser was taken aback from this. Drama like this was unusual but of course, behind the scenes, it was mostly hidden behind the shadows, this was the Adventurer's Guild after all, in the city of Valhalla within the Royal capital, central hall.

The building of the guild is man-made like a normal building with a plain decoration banner on the front entrance for Adventurer's to take notice of if they ever want to find a Guild. There was a notice board on the wall hanging with many quests. Also, a lot of young and old Adventurer's were busy forming groups and plans for their day in order to earn hardship coins. Sadly, this world wasn't perfect, since brand new Adventurer's usually get targeted and picked on by other older Adventurer's that have experience. That was normal within the guild, but to make a loud declaration of his adultery and the provocation in front of everyone in the lounge section.

Nasser looked at his beloved wife 'Alicia.' She seem to have a apologetic expression on her face, but her face suddenly become unloving. But she had on a poker face. Alicia would be a understanding person if she didn't know. His wife was known to be lady like, she was cheerful and caring. And would never cross the line, but that image of her shattered within his heart and mind now.

Desperate the age limit between them, they were still a married couple now, and they hadn't even met for a long time. Nasser Virginia had no choice but to quit the Military, after receiving a sickness from the caused by his injuries that he gotten from the Frontline, and he was lost deep in thought. After receiving pressure from his higher-ups, they offered a job as a freelance adventurer in one of the many certain Adventurer's Guilds.

Nasser remember back then, he was first uncomfortable with the sudden new job, and to make the best of it, since he had to make a living for himself, with mostly money. But, Nasser also had great military experience and talent to begin with, not to mention his powerful companion the dragon as a Summoner which is the most powerful creature in the world. One time, Nasser remember a quest was being sponsored by the guild, Nasser Virginia was asked by them to join an adventuring party filled with Adventurer's who impressed by his ablilities, since he was well known throughout the northern Kingdom for years by his determination and commitment for his country and people.

Nasser remembered back then, when he was first given the sudden new job, he was uncomfortable. He had to make a living for himself, and mostly with money. But, Virginia had great military experience and talent to begin with, and he also had his powerful companion, the dragon, as a Summoner, which is the most powerful creature in the world. One day, the guild asked Nasser Virginia to join an adventuring party filled with Adventurers, and they were impressed by his abilities in their journey against strong monsters, since he was well known throughout the northern Kingdom for years for his determination and commitment for his country and people. Nasser was determined to make the best of the situation, and he was determined to prove himself and succeed. He was quoted as saying, "I will make the best of this situation, and I will prove myself and succeed." This determination and commitment to his country and people is what made him stand out and be respected by his peers.

Nasser was lonesome, that was when he met the love of his life, Alicia in the group. She was a novice and not very skilled in a fight, and was a slow learner compare to the others. But Nasser was determined to help her, and took it upon himself to train and guide her throughout their journey together. Alicia was deeply impressed by Nasser's kindness and dedication, and she blushed across her face when she saw him. She even begged him to join her on her own quests the next time. Nasser remembered this moment fondly, and it was the start of their beautiful journey together.

Once the sponsored Quest ended, the Adventurer's group soon disbanded. Alicia and Nasser went their separate ways. Alicia, feeling a connection with Nasser, decided to ask if they could form a party together and embark on a Journey of Adventure. Nasser, feeling the same connection, agreed to the offer. As they traveled together, they got to know each other better, eventually leading to their marriage. "I knew from the moment I met Nasser that we would be together," Alicia said. "I could feel it in my heart." The two adventurers faced many challenges and obstacles on their journey, but their bond only grew stronger. They shared a passion for adventure and discovery, and their love for each other was the driving force behind their success.

Throughout their journey, they were able to rely on each other for support and encouragement. They were a team, and their strong bond enabled them to overcome any obstacle they faced. In the end, Alicia and Nasser's Journey of Adventure led them to marriage.

The Priestess turned to Alicia, her strong yet compassionate gaze meeting Alicia's. "Do you, Alicia, accept Nasser Virginia as your one and only husband till the end?" Alicia felt tears happily building up in her eyes as she continued to stare into Nasser's warm and soft eyes. "I do," she said, her voice trembling with emotion.

The Priestess smiled and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, before presenting two pairs of golden rings covered with small writings and a symbol of a dragon on it. This was a wedding gift from the King himself, a symbol of the couple's love and commitment to each other.

Nasser and Alicia looked at each other, both of them filled with joy and love. They put on the rings, and the Priestess declared them to be husband and wife. The crowd cheered, and the couple embraced, knowing that their love had been blessed and sealed by their tradition.

Nasser had worked hard to purchase a house with all of his savings and he gradually remade and cleaned it out. His love for Alicia was growing with each passing day and it was evident to anyone who saw them together. However, Kōji's sudden declaration that he and Alicia belonged together snapped something in Nasser's mind. He was so overcome with rage that he screamed at the legendary hero, "Don't you dare lie to me and mess with me and my life with Alicia!!!" He didn't care if the whole kingdom looked up to him in admiration. Nasser had put in so much effort to make his house a home and to build a future with Alicia, and he was not going to let Kōji take that away from him. He was determined to protect what he had built and to fight for his love.

Nasser lunged forward, attempting to deliver a fast left hook punch to Kōji's face. "Ha! Have you forgotten? I'm the Legendary Hero and normal punches don't work on me," Kōji declared with a smirk. In one swift motion, he tilted his head out of the way, avoiding the punch with ease. Nasser was taken aback and shouted, "You! I won't tolerate it!" Kōji began to chuckle, lifting his index finger and wagging it. "I don't think so, now you have done it," he said in a warning tone. Nasser was left frustrated, unable to land a single punch on the Legendary Hero. His agility and reflexes were extraordinary, and it seemed as though he could anticipate his every move. Kōji's confidence and composure was barely intimidating him, and it was clear that Nasser was no match for him.

The legendary hero, Kōji, closed the distance between himself and Nasser in a blink of an eye. Nasser had no time to react and was hit with a powerful punch to the face, almost knocking him out. Nasser, however, still managed to stand his ground, though he knew that it was only delaying the inevitable. He couldn't believe that he, a veteran Dragon Summoner, was losing to someone who had only been summoned to their world for a short period of time. He thought to himself, "He's too powerful! How can this be?" In that moment, he felt a mix of shock and disbelief, knowing that he was at a disadvantage against this young man. He was determined to fight back, but he was also aware of the fact that he may not be able to win this battle.

Nasser Virginia was in shock and confusion as he realized he was unable to speak. His mind raced with questions and disbelief as he stared at the young man in front of him. His usually powerful voice had been silenced, leaving him feeling helpless and embarrassed. The nearby Adventurers in the guild's lounge area were left speechless and dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before them. Nasser, a hero known throughout his kingdom, was unable to use and activate his full power. As he faced off the young man, a black tunnel vision appeared as he felt the pressure of the situation and pain. He knew he had to do something to prove himself, but he was unable to find the strength to do it. He could feel the eyes of the Adventurers on him, silently judging him. "I can't believe this is happening," Nasser thought to himself, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on him. He was stuck in a moment of uncertainty, unable to fight back.

Nasser cried out to Alicia in disbelief, "Alicia! Tell me that it isn't true!" He tried to protect himself from the legendary hero, Kōji, by blocking the punches with his arms, but he quickly realized something was wrong. Alicia didn't even glance at him, instead she was transfixed on Kōji, her admiration for him evident in her expression. This caused a deep hurt within Nasser's heart, and he lowered his guard, giving Kōji the opportunity to deliver a powerful blow to his face. Nasser felt a mixture of emotions, from sadness to betrayal, and he couldn't help but wonder why Alicia had chosen to side with Kōji instead of him. He wanted to know why she had abandoned him in his time of need, and he felt a deep sense of loss and confusion. Nasser's heart was broken, and he was left with nothing but questions.

Nasser fell to the ground with a thud, the force of his impact causing the food and drinks on the nearby table to spill over onto him and the floor. His right eye, already half-lidded and swollen from the punches he had taken earlier, widened in surprise as he heard the legendary hero, Kōji, speak. "Now, all that's left is to finish the final touches of my plan," Kōji said, a grin spreading across his face as he looked towards Alicia. Alicia, her hand lovingly stroking her belly, responded with a smile of her own. "Yes, and I also can't wait to be with you and give birth to our newborn," she said, her voice full of love and anticipation.

Nasser was completely shocked by this news, and looked at the two with pain and disbelief on his face. Alicia confessed to her husband, "I'm sorry, My Darling, Nasser Virginia. It's not because I hate you, but I have deeply and madly fallen in love with Kōji." She said this while still admiring and looking at Kōji and not even glancing or looking at Nasser. Kōji added, "It's nothing personal, old man. When I finally defeat the demon king, by then, I'll eventually show you son." Nasser admitted with sadness in his voice, while he looked at the ground, "I should of known better, the clues, like how Alicia hadn't been going to the dungeons with me lately. No wonder you don't even want to share the same bed with me! You Whore! How could you do this and betray me!?" He said this with a mix of anger and sadness as he could not believe that his wife had betrayed him. He had trusted her and loved her, yet she had chosen another man over him. He felt betrayed and broken, and he could not believe that this was happening to him. He had given her everything, and this was how she repaid him. He felt betrayed and heartbroken.

Kōji's hands soon tightened into fists and he growled in anger. "How dare you! Don't you ever dare speak to my own woman like that again!" Nasser knew what was coming next, as he heard Kōji's voice and saw his fists coming towards him. He kept his remaining eye open, staring at Alicia, who had been his wife only moments ago, replace with only great hatred, even until he blacked out.

This was just the Beginning.
