stand a bit longer

Boa was an handsome boy with an slight feminine face, weak small but cute ,black hair with blue eyes . unfortunately, because of his trait he has been betrayed a lot, by his friends, lovers even his family tried to exploit him. no love stayed as they got taken away no trust had been stored inside his heart anymore

as we can see Boa crying on a bench with his sword and armor, his eyes lost light completely as he lost his party just like others, he ran away to be adventurer because all that happened but his cruel fate had found him right back. his grip on his sword tightened as he wanted to end his miserable life, he stayed innocent just like his father told him. now that if he dies he will maybe find peace at heaven.

but he couldnt stop here, he would be a coward for not getting revenge, he would be a loser if he didn't get stronger he would be considered a shame if he didnt punish sinfull

Boa got up with determined eyes, he would be a solo adventurer from now on, this is his chance.

as he tought of this, the surroundings started to twist and change as he heard an voice coming from depths of his brain

"oh great child with unfaltered determination, show them what you are and grow stronger with this gift ı give to you, punish them and prove yourself to be worthy of my trials!"

as Boa heard this an helmet descended from the skies to his arms, the helmet looked breath taking with beatifull details, it shined as its golden-silver colored metal blinded his eyes,

altough he was weak he had an usefull skill , appraisal. but to be realistic, it didnt work at all. but he should have tried.

[Deserved Arrogance. class: peak-mega]

mega? what's mega? there is no "mega" class in the rating isnt't there?

[this helmet is a growth type, the story will be revealed when it reaches omega class, the defense it gives you is connected with your willpower, if you have enough fate it will even block an attack from a god. this helmet is made by unknown materials, and the attributes are fire and light.]

boa didnt question how his appraisal worked this great, nor did he wanted to search more about it , he wore the helmet that covered down to his nose he saw everything clearly, the road he needed to take , the way he needed to act and the way he needed to punish. Boa now had an completely different aura around him.

***

the next day at the adventurers guild, the door opened as Boa entered inside, he didnt look around as maybe he could see his past party. he went right at the reservation and handed over the card

the girl sighed and gave him an newbie quest, Boa saw this

"what is this?"

"your quest? duh."

Boa got angry but didn't care

"give me a promotion quest, Now."

the girl smirked after hearing his words 

"you? taking on a-"

boa cut her words at the middle as he slammed the desk, creating a crack at the stone

"NOW"

the girl panicked as she saw him getting angry, boa looked different, talked different. and what the hell was that fancy helmet? she quickly got the quest paper, Boa snitched the paper and turned around to see his party and that bastard of an man

"oh who do we ha-"

Boa got around them and got out as the girls with desperate eyes stopped the man, atleast they got some nerve.

Boa was completely someone different, perhaps the helmet gave him a strenght boost, he was suprised that he cracked the stone , he only intended to slam his hand down with little force, and what was that attitude? he wasnt like that, why didnt he care about them? 

Boa opened the slightly ripped paper and looked into the quest

it was an orc subjugation quest and boa had to bring its ears and eyes to the reception, the place where he had to go was the forest that had alot of monsters, so meeting only an orc was impossible. he would meet goblins, wolves hell even maybe demons or wyverns on that scary place

but for Boa this was simple, as long as he had the helmet and will to fight he would be untouchable still, he needed to go to the forest, that would take a week to walk. so he needed an cart to go with.he could sell his other armour to get a better weapon, the helmet was good enough.

Boa went to a random blacksmith at the streets, this one looked shabby. but the real gems always layed on the shabby ones, he went inside to see a red haired beatifull lady. he put the body armor, leggings and his old sword on the desk 

"what an beatifull helmet!"

he looked up to see her eyes fixed on him with weird intend

"ı do not sell it."

the girl smirked and got an sword from the back and showed it to him

"what about an legendary sword? wouldnt you trade that with this?"

indeed the sword looked legendary but it was rare grade. Boa understood that this girl was an scammer so he didnt have any hopes on her gears neither, he took his items and turned back to leave just to be hold from hir arm , the woman was squeezing his arm hard and showing the sword to him

"this is a legendary sword! why are you leaving!"

Boa slapped her hand away 

"thats an rare grade sword. with an trash owner comes with trash items. ı do not have any hopes on this workshop."

the woman got angry

"how can you reject such an beatiful girls suggestion!"

"ı simply do not care."

Boa left the blacksmith, just to get attacked from behind. boa didnt flinch as the attack simply bounced away, he looked back to see the woman from the workshop with wide eyes, she used an big hammer to hit him but the hammer got dented. boa turned back again and left the woman suprised and confused. he couldn't care about the insects that tried to steal or plunder. if he killed them he would be down to their level wouldn't he?

he found an another workshop but this one didn't look shabby or fancy. he just wanted to get an decent sword, maybe rare or epic grade. his gear was all uncommon so it should be enough to get an rare or epic tier sword, Boa entered the workshop to see an old dwarf working on something with glasses, the old dwarf saw him and got up with an smile

"hey there young boy!"

the old dwarf sounded really sincere giving Boa a calmness,

"hello."

Boa greeted the blacksmith and gave him his old gear, the blacksmith looked at them and started to check their quality

"well there are pretty good! do you want to exchange these with someting?"

the blacksmith asked to Boa with curious manner and then noticed his helmet

"oh wow! that helmet sure looks fancy."

"yes ı know."

"so what do you want to exchange with? these would be good enough for an high-rare tier."

Boa got suprised, the man didnt ask more about the helmet. looks like the old man knows some manners unlike some people

"ı would like an sword."

the dwarf took the items smiling and brought an not too fancy looking sword, he indeed brought an high-rare tier sword, and this one was really good 

"thanks. you are honest and reliable unlike some people."

the old dwarf laughed 

"after a long time you live there is no reason left for you to lie or deceive!"

Boa was happy that there was someone he could trust slightly in this cursed and harsh world, he could not let go of someone like him

"whats your name mister?"

"my name is Borneg, what about your young man?"

"my name is Boa."

they said their goodbies as Boa left the store. Boa commanded arrogance to mark this place and name it "Borneg's smithy" he looked at his new sword and smiled before going to an carriage to leave for the monster forest, the ride would cost him 1 gold coin with food included, but he would get an discount of 2 silvers if he guarded the carriage on their way.

there was few people that would take the ride with him and they seemed like an party that had two magicians one swordman and lastly an tank. the tank was an big old man with an shiny armor that still looked plain next to the helmet of arrogance the swordsman was a girl with an short hair that seemed like the tanks daughter in her twenties the mages looked like twins one girl and one boy

boa got his helmet out and looked at it thinking 'is there a way to make this look still cool but plain?' right after that the helmets shape changed as the shining golden and silver parts turned black , it looked plain and the details were gone, it still covered down to his nose and his eyes

'looks like ı can change the colors and details but the shape slightly, well this is good enough' 

boa wore the helmet again hiding his slight feminnine handsome face and beatifull eyes and went to the carriage it was time to leave towards to the monster forest.
