An epiphany comes at a man's lowest moment, not his highest!
———
For a moment, I was dazed—lost in the chaos that surrounded me.
I have led troops into battle in my first life.
I've been defeated a few times.
But never have we been wiped out so quickly—without even getting the chance to fight.
How did this happen?
How did we fall for an obvious trap anyone could've seen coming?
Swish!
The whistling sound of an arrow cutting through the wind shattered my reverie, prompting me to turn immediately and catch the arrow before it reached my head!
Pa!
The arrowhead was covered in a piece of cloth soaked in petrol, allowing it to burn brightly.
BAM!
[-20 HP]
I gasped out loud as a second arrow struck my chest.
But this one wasn't burning.
It was a normal arrow—shot by an orc hiding within the overgrown grass.
It failed to penetrate deeply due to my thick muscle, but it still hurt—badly.
Before my eyes, the world seemed to slow down. My body felt numb to pain.
I felt light.
