surprise

Ana—this happened to me when I was 7 years old, sir, I was cutting fruit alone and I found a strange stone, then my back started to hurt and when I returned home my parents were surprised to see how I was doing with this big thing that appeared from the nothing and the stone no longer had it—

Kor—it seems that I am right, it is a curse, you should be fine if you go to the north of the kingdom in the church and they purify you but those priests ask for 10 gold coins and only the nobles can enter to pray, the poor are prohibited from entering that sacred place because we pollute it—

Lósif, seeing that Ana was losing hope, touched her shoulder and she turned around and they both looked into each other's eyes, then in mutual understanding Ana smiled happily.

With that, they both smiled. The old man, seeing them smiling, only sighed internally when he saw them so happy. The problems will come later. Insecurity always happens throughout the kingdom. I also hope that these boys are okay.

Kor—let's go to dinner guys, I'll invite you—

With that they both sat down at the wooden table and ate.

The next day when the sun rose in the cemetery there were three people standing at the door of the pantheon ready to leave somewhere, two children and an old man were ready.

Kor—guys, I hope you are ready and you are not going to forget anything in my booth, today we will go to Kingdom Street to go to where the orphanage is where you will stay, both will be new members from the looks of it, since they have no family—

Lósif—Thank you Mr. Kor, when I have a lot of money I am going to invite you to eat and return the kindness, you are a good human being Mr. Kor—

Ana nodded in affirmation of what Lósif said.

Kor—ha, ha, ha, boy, don't be so serious, I'm just an old man and possibly I couldn't live until you have a lot of money, I'm over 75 years old, I'm already more dead than alive, it's a wonder that I live so long being a normal person, but I accept your kindness—

The old man smiled happily and patted Lósif's shoulders to emphasize the words that the boy was serious.

After that little talk, both of them left with Mr. Kor, guiding themselves along the new path. As they entered further, they observed in amazement how the streets were populated with clothing stores, armor stores, weapons stores, food stores and street stalls with only a blanket on top.

Lósif was watching all this with some nostalgia for his old world, where there were many street stalls and they were set up anywhere, among other things, like the fat ladies who sold corn and tacos, everything was very nostalgic, it seemed like he was still in the bustling streets. of Mexico with the "tianguis" on every corner, only this time they do not sell pirated movies or teddy bears, all that was changed for rusty swords and knives ready to use among other war equipment.

Lósif was very interested in a certain street stall where they sold a hood made of black Mayan armor. It seemed very medieval-style, something that an archer or some "witch" priest would use. He wanted to buy it. It also looked great. That seemed a bit old but it was good, he thought so.

Looking at the clothes he had on he really left a lot to be desired in his previous life he was never one to dress in fashion only the most comfortable and he was always ready to go from wearing guaraches to tennis shoes, although several times he was criticized by people something that He ignored it but it still helped him to see the disgusting mentality they had, mocking and criticizing just for dressing differently, he was already considered a poor person, a vagabond, he knew that was wrong, the clothing doesn't matter, you will die and rot anyway, but it seems that They didn't see it that way, Mexico always focuses on money and not on people. If you have money you're great. If you don't, you're a "thief."

He calmly observed how he is dressed, a t-shirt made of thread and handmade by his late mother, a pair of pants that looked like two huge pieces of pink fabric sewn together like crazy, and the footwear, not to mention, he himself made them some casual flip-flops with a little bit of protection around the fingers and instep made of ready-made fabric, he looked like a good innocent villager even here the poorest homeless people who were asking for money were better dressed than him and Ana, I know they looked great with capes and boots, sitting hopeful and those enormous physiques seemed that exercise was the best thing to do.

Ana, for her part, was dressed in a green dress that had the back open and the sleeves closed, something like some type of classic dress that you would wear to hang out at home or on a hot day, she had small boots made of The work is somewhat dirty and has sewing on the sides to provide reinforcement.

He frowned a little as he thought with a little smile how they were dressed, they looked great and he loved that, he knew it was great. The looks that passers-by gave him were on his testicles, he knew it, he is a damn necromancer and apart from a traveler from another world, whatever they say, I don't give a damn.

He observed a guy asking for money who turned to look at him with pity in his eyes. Lósif was surprised as he observed that the guy's eyes showed unconcealed emotions and expressed pity. He observed how the person smiled with a forced and sad laugh and took the cup. something that appeared to be a rusty copper coin blocked their path.

Old guy—boy look, I'll give you this, you can buy something to eat for your little sister, I saw what's wrong—

Lósif was surprised by the kindness of this stranger who seemed to have nothing but still expressed that desire to share the little he had, something that left him very shocked and happy to see how there were still kind people in this world, he stayed thinking if this happened in their old world there is a possibility that they will just see it and that's it they will leave without giving help but if it was a guy with foreign features they will quickly show kindness and help everything to be liked, something that made Lósif sad when thinking about everyone The videos I saw on the Internet about "kind Mexicans" are just a fraud, at least in most of Mexico there is only a minority that does help but that is difficult, only 1 in 10, many are afraid to help for fear of being assaulted.

He was brought out of his thoughts by Kor's voice.

Kor—No need! Don't come near me again! "I'll call the gentlemen!" Kor directly threatened the man who was trying to help, he raised the shovel so that the man could see it and emphasize what he said, the man only nodded and walked away again to his sitting position without moving his eyes. watching from a distance, the kind look never left the face.

Lósif and Ana were left reflecting, Ana, personally very superficial, she was afraid of that man who was offering money, she didn't want to know why he was doing it, maybe he wanted to rob them, she congratulated Kor for being strong and smiled, then she turned to look at Lósif and She saw him frowning and shaking his head, looking sad.

Lósif felt Ana's gaze and turned to look at her. He noticed how Ana was smiling and happily congratulated Kor for being strong, something that bothered Lósif because of the girl's stupidity in not realizing the situation or maybe he was bad after Everyone is new to this kingdom and doesn't know the customs. Maybe if he received the money he was being bought by the man and that's why Kor got angry or maybe not, who knows when he will adapt to life here and see that he was helping. he will naturally help the man.

With that in mind he continued walking until he saw that Kor and Ana stopped at a somewhat gloomy and old place that looked like it was going to fall at any moment, a two-story house built of white brick and other things besides a door. cardboard or fabric.

Kor—we arrived, this is the orphanage where you will stay, I hope you adapt to life, just enter and that's it, tell how you got here, ask for Diana, a blonde girl, she will know what to do, see you, I have things to do—With that he left something quickly and left the two children outside the site without turning twice, he continued walking to the center of the kingdom, it seemed like he had things to settle with someone.

Lósif remembered the letter he wrote and sent with the bird, maybe he is going to that place to tell them about bones.

Ana—Lósif, what do we do?—

Lósif—knock and wait for someone to receive us—

Lósif approached and shouted to get the attention of someone inside.

Lósif—Hello! We're new here!—

Footsteps were heard from above the second floor and moments later the crash as if someone were falling down the stairs.

Lósif, upon hearing the knock, was alarmed and imagined that he fell and possibly needed help. He left education aside and entered without caring about anything, leaving behind Ana who also entered.

Upon entering, Lósif observed that it was dark, only illuminated with sunlight through the windows and the stairs. There was a person, a little girl lying at the end of the stairs. It seemed that she fell from the top and rolled down. He quickly went and approached to see. He observed with horror how the girl seemed to have a blow to the head and was bleeding a lot in addition to her thin bent hands. He got scared and turned the girl over to try to get her to lie down on her back. When he did so, he saw her, a beautiful girl of about 10 years old the same size as Ana or a little shorter, she was bleeding and the blood stained her face but it did not take away her beauty.

Creamy white skin, a color that amazed Lósif. He believed that this type of skin did not exist, since in his first life he never saw skin that was very white to the point of looking like fine porcelain or milk. He had seen blonde girls but this was Strange, the girl's hair is white, not gray white, something like pure white, a beautiful face and cute features, a small, pink mouth, but she looked like a sick and physically weak girl.

He didn't hesitate anymore, with the black vitalization healing skill he would use it now at this moment.

With that Losif touched the girl's head and recited.

Lósif—"I am a human I have the abyss of cruelty in myself" Black vitalization—

When Lósif finished singing, Lósif's hand lit up dark green and wrapped around the lying girl after seconds. Lósif felt strange as if something was missing, maybe the sacrifice was used and that's why he felt different.

When he saw it ending and the blood next to the wounds healed and disappeared, and the skin transformed into something more alive and healthy, he noticed that the girl opened her eyes and noticed violet eyes with a small touch of blue around the iris. long and delicate eyelashes.

Girl—Who are you?—The girl spoke with a soft and silky voice, something like kindness could be heard in the voice mixed with concern.

Lósif—my name is Lósif Davra, I am a new member at the orphanage, I helped you, you fell down the stairs—

Girl—my name is Blanca, it seems like I fell but I'm sick and I can't do many things, I'm very weak, I heard voices downstairs and I wanted to receive them but I didn't imagine I was falling, thank you for helping me Lósif. Lósif! You really healed me! You do magic! I don't feel as bad as usual, I feel better, Lósif!—

speak The white girl was excited and happy, something that startled Lósif who quickly told her to calm down.

Lósif —blanca, let's keep this a secret, please—

Blanca—it's okay, we'll keep it a secret Mr. Lósif, thank you for curing me— After speaking he coughed a little again, Lósif rushed to help but was interrupted by a voice.

voice—stay away from her!—

Lósif was surprised and saw a silhouette of a blonde girl running fast and launched a fierce kick to the face, Lósif did not react and was hit, he slid a few meters, Ana screamed in fear and amazement quickly went to see Lósif and was shouting the name, she was angry for being ignored before but when she saw that Lósif was injured and lost consciousness again, she was scared and went to wake him up.

Ana—Lósif! Losif! Wake up Lósif!—

Lósif heard Ana's voice screaming in panic and Blanca's voice mixed with another voice that he couldn't distinguish, then everything turned dark.

Lósif had a pain in his head. The last thing he remembered before falling unconscious was the voices in the background, then everything went black.

Opening his eyes slowly he saw a stone roof where it is illuminated by sunlight and where he was lying is a red blanket, he turned his head to know where he was then he remembered that he cured a pretty girl and someone knocked him out.

He was angry, whoever hit him made him very angry, he has to say something, then he felt a presence next to him, he turned and saw the girl named Blanca next to two small children, she was sitting looking directly at him without blinking.

Blanca's point of view before falling down the stairs.

Blanca is a sick girl, she is 10 years old and was abandoned in the orphanage at the age of 3 by a noblewoman. The girl Blanca was born sick, the priests did not give her a high life rate, at most she will live to be 12 years old.

Blanca—I was lying down resting on the upper floor, I am taking care of the youngest children, who are in total 2 little children of 1 year old, in total there are 4 of us living in this orphanage house in our home, Diana is the one who takes care of Bringing food and money she robs people, previously there were more children but they were arrested by knights and sold to the demihumans. Among them were also children who will surely be used as pack donkeys and the girls await the worst fate of all.

I was afraid when the knights arrived they wanted to sell me but they saw my illness and I was useless to them they were afraid of getting infected and losing mana, my illness is a black curse it was cast by a necromancer on my mother when I was pregnant what surprised
