CHAPTER - 6
Doctor: Don’t forget to make sure the monitor isn’t having any issues.
If there’s any problem with his heartbeat, let me know immediately and alert the soldiers outside the door.
Nurse: (Smiling) Understood, Doctor! It’s 12:30, you’re going to eat now as usual, right?
Doctor: (Laughing) Yes, my dear. At this point, I’m just an old man, and eating is the only pleasure I have left! AHAHAH!
Nurse: Take care and enjoy your meal, Doctor!
- A FEW HOURS LATER -
Dav: (Opens his eyes)
I need a bathroom. Feels like I haven’t relieved myself in decades…
(Asking) Hey, excuse me! You’re a soldier, right? Could you tell me where the bathroom is?
Soldier: (Shocked) ...
(Shouting) ALARM! THE HERO HAS AWAKENED!!
BRING CLEAN CLOTHES AND HOT FOOD!!
Dav: Yeah, okay… but I just wanted to know where the bathroom was, buddy…
Soldier: (Guiding him) My apologies… Please follow me.
Use this one, it’s your personal bathroom, Sir Lion.
Dav: Alright, thanks.
(Relaxing like never before) This feels so good… [-]
(Thinking) But… why did they panic so much?.. I was just looking for a bathroom.
[Flushes the toilet]
Dav: Where’s the sink? Uh… there!
[Washes his hands with soap and his face]
Dav: (Looking at himself in the mirror) Who the hell is this?! Is this me?!! What’s with all this beard?? My hair??!
I look like a wandering hermit! I need to make sure to shave everything with my electric razor.
Damn, I feel so weak and exhausted…
Dav: (Worried) I feel my body overflowing with mana and aura. What should I do?? If I release everything here, the entire hospital will explode, and there will be many casualties.
Where’s that soldier? I need clothes and shoes right away.
Soldier! Did you bring me some clothes and shoes?!
Soldier: Yes, sir. I personally placed everything on your bed. Here you go.
Dav: (Puts his hands on the soldier’s shoulders) Listen to me carefully..!
You all need to get out of here, as far as possible.
I won’t be able to contain my power for long, and this place will explode in a few minutes due to my aura and mana release.

Warn everyone and run!
Soldier: (Confused) Eh?
(Shouting) SOUND THE ALARM!
EVERYONE MUST EVACUATE! DROP EVERYTHING AND RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN! GET IN THE VEHICLES AND DRIVE AWAY!
Narrator: The alarm blared for several seconds, and everyone ran without hesitation, getting as far away as possible.
The structure began to shake as his accumulated mana and aura started to break free after so much time.
Everyone got far enough and watched from a distance to see what would happen.
Dav: Damn, I can’t hold it in anymore…
I don’t feel any life signals nearby, so I can finally release everything.
Here it comes!
Dav: (Screaming releasing his energy) AHHHHH!!!!!!
Narrator: Where everyone had gathered, silence filled the air, followed by an overwhelming dark force that brought them all to their knees.
He unleashed so much aura that it surrounded the entire base with deep darkness, triggering an earthquake across the nation.
Every living being in the country felt that immense and terrifying presence, a pure killing intent.
It invaded everyone’s mind, paralyzing them with fear.
The heroes, no longer as cowardly as before, all rushed toward the event without running away like last time, where they had hidden and waited for the only hero who had saved them.
Meanwhile, every fragment of the ground crumbled, the base turned to dust, and the earthquake was so powerful it felt like the beginning of a new calamity.
Everyone thought it was another divine catastrophe like the one that had happened before.
When Dav finally let out all his power and regained his senses, he saw thousands of people staring at him in shock… His aura was a dark black with streaks of red, resembling lightning.
Throughout the nation, both good and evil people felt his presence.
For some, this changed everything.
So everyone tried to understand whether he was the hero… or a new boss.
Dav: (Thinking) I might have overdone it…
So many people… No, wait… Those auras, that mana… Are they all heroes and warriors?! Why did all these people gather here?!
Ah… Well. I suppose I owe them an explanation.
Dav: (Floating in the sky) Hello, everyone. No, I’m not a demon here to kill you.
And no, I’m not your hero.
(Sarcastically) I’m just the guy who busted his ass saving all of yours a few days ago, probably, and ended up in a hospital bed…
Nice to meet you.
[Silence]
Crowd: (Shouting) THE HERO IS BACK! HURRAH! HURRAH!
Where are the media? Someone take a video and upload it!
The press is on the way!
Press: (Intrusive) Tell us, how does it feel to be the world’s most beloved hero?!
The one who protected us from that divine calamity! How do you feel?!
Dav: (Annoyed)
1 - I couldn’t give a damn about any of you.
2 - I didn’t protect you because I cared. I did what I had to for my family.
3 - I am not a “hero.” I kill without hesitation those who deserve it, and I take no prisoners.
4 - Get lost. I want to go home.
Crowd: (Silence) …
(Shouting in joy) HURRAH!! THE HERO IS BACK! NOW ITALY HAS ITS TOP HERO ACTIVE ONCE AGAIN!
Crowd: (Gossiping) Now even America with its top-ranked hero won’t be able to call itself number one anymore! AHAHAH!
(Gossiping) True, true! I can already imagine their faces!
(Intrusive) Can we take a selfie!?
Please, let’s take a picture together!
Crowd: (Chanting) HERO!! HERO!!!
Dav: (Thinking) I better disappear…
Narrator: Dav was surprised to see that when he said those things, no one cared—it only made them happier.
He flew toward home, taking only 20 minutes, as the base was in Milan, and with his flying speed, it wouldn’t take long to reach Sicily.
From above, while flying, he noticed many things had changed, but for him, it felt like just a few days had passed since his coma.
Dav: I’m here! The doorbell has been changed! But my family’s name is still here, so no problem.
(Sarcastically) Still all locked up as always, I see.
Mother (through the intercom): Who’s ringing? What do you want?
Dav: (Shouting) What do you mean, “What do you want”?! It’s me, open up! Your son Dav!
Oi, answer me, I’m not joking!!
[A large gate is heard opening with an electric buzz at a single click]
Mother: (Tearing up) Is it really you?!
You’re supposed to be in the hospital…
Dav: (Glancing around) Well, yeah… Some things happened…
Mother: (Hurriedly) I’m calling your father right now!
Honey, do you hear me??! Our son! He’s back! He’s right in front of our gate!
Father: (Panicked) Eh, are you joking?! I’ll be right there! Call all our children and gather them! I’ll be there in a few minutes!
[Mother calling everyone]
Dav: (Thinking) While they’re all shouting, I’ll go shave this beard and long hair.
[Electric razor buzzing]
Dav: (Surprised) I didn’t remember it growing this much so fast…
(Crazy idea) What if I used Black Flame to burn it off and save some time?
Mother: (Calling Dav from outside the bathroom door) Dav, everyone is here. Come out when you’re ready.
Dav: Okay.
- 20 MINUTES LATER -
Narrator: Everyone waited anxiously in the living room, biting their nails and running their hands through their hair repeatedly as each minute passed.
Dav: (Narcissistic) WHO is this handsome guy?? Oh, right, it’s me. [UwU]
I feel reborn now.
(Walking forward) Alright, time to meet my family…
(Thinking) They’ll probably scold me for disappearing so suddenly… But they’ll understand.
[Footsteps echoing]
[Door opens]
Dav: (Normal expression) So… What’s up?
