New Frontier

His life was hell, an endless loop of suffering, but with an unbreakable will he would manage to emerge victorious. Ren had always known that he was different, that he had a power that no one else possessed, and it was this power that had condemned him to a lifetime of misery. However, all of that changed when he met two powerful goddesses - Elysium, the goddess of light, and Erebo, the goddess of darkness. They saw something in him that no one else had, and they gave him a gift: a ring and an earring, both imbued with their power. With their help, Ren discovered that he could break free of the endless cycle that had trapped him for so long. He could fulfill the covenant made by the inhabitants of his world and perhaps even gain unexpected benefits along the way. But life is never that simple, and Ren would soon find himself caught up in an even bigger war, with even greater stakes. Would he choose a normal life in another world and give up his power, or would he continue to fight, wielding the gifts given to him by the goddesses? Either way, Ren knew that the road ahead would be long and difficult, but he was determined to emerge victorious once again.

As Ren walked towards the shanty district, he could feel the tension building inside him. He knew that this was going to be a tough fight, but he was ready for it. He was determined to take down the Black Widow and her minions once and for all.

As he entered the shanty district, he could see the dilapidated buildings and the grimy streets, littered with debris and trash. He could also hear the sounds of fighting in the distance, and he knew that he was getting closer to his target.

There was a moment of silence, and then Black Widow appeared at the entrance to the shanty. Ren could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he saw her. She was even more formidable than he had imagined, with her black cloak billowing in the wind and her eyes glowing with an otherworldly light.

They locked eyes for a moment, and then Black Widow attacked. Her movements were quick and fluid, and Ren had to use all of his skills to defend himself. They exchanged blows, their swords clashing in the air.

Ren slowly began to gain the upper hand, his sword finding its mark more and more frequently. Black Widow seemed to be tiring, and he saw an opportunity to strike.

But just as he was about to deliver the final blow, Black Widow unleashed a powerful spell of chaos. The air around them became thick with fear and confusion, and Ren could feel himself faltering.

But then he remembered his skill of brave, and he called upon it with all his might. A surge of energy coursed through his body, and he felt himself becoming immune to Black Widow's fear-inducing spell. His strength was boosted, and he charged forward, sword held high.

Black Widow was caught off guard, and Ren was able to strike a blow that sent her reeling backwards. She stumbled and fell to the ground, and Ren stood over her, his sword at her throat.

"It's over, Black Widow," he said, his voice filled with triumph.

But then he heard a strange sound, a sound like the hiss of a thousand serpents. He looked down at Black Widow, and saw that her eyes had turned an eerie shade of green. The color seemed to spread, covering her entire body in a sickly glow.

Ren felt a wave of nausea wash over him, and he stumbled backwards. He could feel the chaos spreading, infecting everything around him.

He knew that he had to act fast. With all his strength, he raised his sword and brought it down in a powerful strike. Black Widow screamed, and then she was still.

Ren stood there for a moment, catching his breath. He looked around, and saw that the chaos was beginning to dissipate. The shanties were still standing, but there was a sense of calm in the air.

He knew that he had done what he had come to do, and he turned to leave. But as he walked away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew that Black Widow was gone, but he couldn't shake the feeling that the chaos treat was just beginning and it was terrified, and it would return, stronger and more dangerous than ever before.

As he waited, he reflected on his recent battles and the events that had led him to this moment. He had never expected to become a hero, or to be caught up in such dangerous battles. But he knew that he couldn't stand by and watch innocent people suffer.

He had learned a great deal about himself during his adventures. He had discovered that he had a deep sense of bravery and determination, and that he was willing to risk everything to protect those he cared about.

But he had also learned that he couldn't do it alone. He needed the help of his friends and allies to succeed, and he needed to trust in their skills and abilities just as much as his own.

As he stood there, lost in thought, he suddenly heard a commotion from inside the room. He rushed forward, bursting through the door to find Rita standing on her own two feet, a bright smile on her face.

"Ren!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around him. "I feel better! The prayers have worked!"

Ren breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. "That's great news," he said, smiling down at her. "Are you sure you're okay?"

Rita nodded, her eyes sparkling. "I feel like a new person," she said. "And I have you to thank for it. Without you, I never would have made it here."

Rita shown Ren his right hand, there was a black ring, and Ren could a tiny aura of shadow coming outside it.

"Now I should be able to study the book, and become a real priest, I know that this could be too much to ask but could you support me" Rita said, with a shy face

"Of course I would support you, as I told you I would like to expand the old faith" Ren said, and to this the face of Rita turn immediately in a happy face.

"Thank you very much Ren, I don't know what I would do without all the support that you give me, you are like a gift from Erebo herself" Rita reply

"If you don't care I need to contact the goddess now" Ren said, and after go to the altar.
