Tainted truth

In this story you will follow Jonas Foll. This poor soul, along with six others, has been transported from earth to a world of demons and dragons etc etc, you all know it. Where this story is different from the rest is that Jonas is not the one with the worst ranking ability, instead he's the one with the best ranking one in the hero party (otherwise known as the 'leading hero' in the kingdom of Hestia). However, there is somehow another hero with an ability of the same rank. These two should have to compete about who becomes the leader. Unfortunately Jonas' ability will slowly drive him more and more to madness. Let's hope he does not do anything crazy. Let's hope the ones around him don't do anything that could make that happen.

End of the first volume

"I CANT BELIEVE THIS. HOW COULD YOU GUYS DO THIS TO ME. LISA, LOOK AT ME. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!"

I was wrong!

I was so, so wrong about everyone!

I was wrong about Lisa, I was wrong about Kent, I was even wrong about Fred!

What is even the point of my fucking intuition if it doesn't even show me the truth about my own life!

And that king!

He is the reason behind all of this.

I will make their lives a living hell.

I will make them regret betraying me.

And I will make them regret not killing me right now.

They. Will. Pay.

This entire kingdom will pay.

But first I need to get out of here.

...

Let's back up a bit.

What happened.

Well, I thought I was getting closer to everyone.

I even thought I was becomming friends with them, even if they continued going away every night.

So I became more bold in asking about what they were doing, and their lies actually seemed to check out!

So maybe I was the one being paranoid.

Thats what I thought...

Until I had a moment alone with Winston.

Winston was the only one still avoiding me the whole time.

It was clear to me that he was jealous, so I expected him to not too nice to me in our conversation.

That's until he started crying.

He didn't even start talking yet and he was suddenly crying?

"I'm so sorry Jonas! I'm so sorry! I didn't think it would become like this!" he shouted while crying his eyes out.

And then he started talking about what was really going on when I was locked into my room.

And then I cried.

I cried so much.

I was so sad.

And then it became anger.

No, not anger.

RAGE

How could they even consider that?

It made me so angry, that I started loving my mind.

And then I found out about another function of my ability.

When a truth is too much for me to handle without my mind deteriorating dangerously, the truth gets locked up.

And this is what happened.

I forgot what it was they did.

And I still dont know.

Yes, that's true, I do not know what they did.

Only that it is so horrible that I locked it away.

So I dont know what I am angry about.

You could almost say it is an act.

But its not.

I know they betrayed me.

So here I am, confronting them.

And they just pretend like they don't know what I am talking about.

"Jonas, I think your ability is affecting your judgement right now, please go see the king or a mage!" said Lisa.

Well... now I know.

It is not a good plan to stay here.

They think I know what they are doing.

They will speed up whatever it is they are planning.

"Maybe you are right. Could you guys please bring them to me, I don't know what I'll do if I leave my room now." I said.

And for some reason, they bought it, and left only Fred with me.

Now I have to escape!

First, I have to defeat Fred.

Time to start whisperi-

"It was good working with you" he said while putting his hand forward for a handshake.

"What?"

"You're running away right? That's what I would do at least. So I'm saying goodbye."

"You're not going to try to stop me?"

"I won't."

"I will take revenge you know?"

"I know. But if you ever even manage to become powerfull or influential enough to really do damage, I can just hide. I am not really in danger, except if I fight you right now. I don't intend to lose my mind to some words just yet."

"... alright. Goodbye then I guess?"

"Jup, see you around maybe."

And I left the room.

How weird.

Why would he not just request for backup if he was so scared?

Well doesn't matter to me anymore.

The guards are all pretty powerfull I think, so I should only try to taint one of them if it is really the last option.

Now, I just need to focus on getting out of the palace.

Which is actually very easy.

I just go to the training garden, where there is nobody currently, and then run through the neighboring forrest until I find a road to some other Village.

Or until some monster eats me alive.

And that's exactly what I did.

I went to the garden, and into the forrest.

I escaped the castle.

Now, let's start becoming more powerfull somehow.

But first, let's survive this damned forrest.
