Chapter 0 – Darkmtl

〈 Episode 1 〉 Prologue

“I can’t… do it…”

I muttered as I felt my body growing cold.

In front of me was just a single line of text.

[Objective: Become a Hero.]

Become a Hero? What a vague objective.

It’s not that Heroes don’t exist or anything.

In fact, Heroes are more common than you’d think.

There are 10 recognized Saint-level Heroes by the Church.

Including them, there are 100 High-ranking Heroes.

And approximately a thousand regular Heroes are out there running around.

A destroyed world, an era where Heroes are a dime a dozen.

And I’ve been tasked with the goal of becoming one.

Yet, even that seems too tough for me.

I’ve got no talent.

No opportunities.

There’s no way a plain person like me could be told to become a Hero without something happening.

“I can’t…”

I gazed at the空 with resentful eyes.

And then it happened.

[The Divine Seat wants you to rise again.]

Another infuriating message chimed in.

It’s so noisy. I just want to give up now.

[The Divine Seat wants you to rise again.]

Damn it.

Then why don’t you give it a try yourself?

Not that it’ll ever happen…
