11 Second Target - Hero 'Twin Star Berserker'

"HEY! HEY WAKE UP!" Ace heard a voice yelling at him, "What?" Ace replied looking up. "Duuude, you cry in your sleep? Hahaha you're a funny man!" The merchant laughed joyfully, his belly jiggling.

"Dust got into my eyes thanks to your driving" Ace casually replied as he got off the carriage looking around "We're here?".

"Yes my good sir, welcome to HelmsDeep, the most secure fortress known in the land and also home of the blacksmiths" introduced the Merchant waving his hands towards rows of stone houses neatly built with roads that seemed almost natural like as if the mountains itself created it for humanity to live in.

"Thank you", Ace replied as he walked towards what looked like an Inn. "Till we meet again sir" said the merchant before driving off to a nearby market. "Good evening sir!", a waitress greeted "welcome to Heavenly Ale Inn, where the best kind of ale can be found here. Would you like to try some?"she continued as she brought him to a table.

"I'll have one then and two nights here" he said passing a few silvers to her. "Will do! Thank you for your patronage, I'll be back with your drink" she replied. 'Well at least the service here is better, still can't believe a waitress would swing a fucking tray at my face when I asked a simple question' he thought as he looked at the waitress going to the counter.

"Hey, did you hear? Berserker is at it again", said a man at the table beside him. "Shhhh, quiet down bro, people can hear you" whispered what seems to be a group of adventurers. Ace increased his hearing.

"Oh sorry, heard that some girl claims she was harassed by him when they were on a job to hunt some monsters." "That's the third time this week, I also heard that a few went missing but he proclaimed that monsters took them away." "I don't believe it though, he is a hero who protected this fortress when it was attacked by a monster horde".

"Me too, but it seems like it's true, even some of the men went missing in his hunts". "You think he?" One of them paused. "I'm not too sure but he works alone usually so we can only suspect". "Alright enough, we don't want getting any nightmares tonight, let's get back since we got a big hunt tomorrow", said a man who seems to be the leader. They slowly got up and left the bar, some walking unstable as they drank more than they should.

'Seems like I have to investigate before proceeding with the job' Ace thought to himself while downing the jar of ale the waitress had given him along with the keys to his room.

Carrying his backpack and weapons up on to the second floor corridor, he noticed a woman fidgeting with her gloves as she looks out of the window along the corridor.

She had a voluptuous body as she wore a black fitting long sleeved shirt, a green vest filled with pockets covered it and a pair of long pants which hugged her legs showing curves that could make any man drool. Tracking boots that seemed a little too big for her feet was crossed over each other. A cap covered her green hair as it flow with the breeze.

The scene felt like a dream as Ace stared at her for a moment. Feeling like she was being watched, the girl turns her head towards him and gave him a smile which could bewitch a man if he wasn't guarded.

Noticing the green eyes of the girl and her facial features, Ace gave a wave and entered his room.

"Amazing that she has survive this long with that kind of body and attitude" he sighed under his breath as he removed his skin mask. "Those eyes are dangerous" he muttered under his breath. Slumping on the bed 'time to take a power nap'.
