Heroes Exist to Save the World

Heroes exist to save the world

Those words make me sick

By luck, no, by horrible luck, I was blessed by the holy blade and forced onto the path of killing the demon lord

I Had everyone’s attention on me, and their hopes becaht of the world on

What was the reward for my deeds?

To be idolised?

To be an inspiration?

I didn’t want any of it

Another man could say, your reward is your adventure and the h

Heroes exist to save the world, not to save their companions

The fate of my companions was always destined to be a cruel one

In order to defeat the demon lord ill destroy the world

Whether it was before or after he rose up in power

Of course, as a hero, as an individual, I tried my utmost to save those who are important to me

But the results have always been disastrous

The pain I felt as they whispered to ed to make it out alive"

The path of a hero is filled with more sorrow than happiness

I could not fail to live up to their expectations

Even when I wandered on the borders of insanity, the people would put their hopes on ht on with blood in ht for the eternal peace of death

I’d had enough of this life

The mysterious monsters ould invade our homes

The villains who dared to harm my friends

I have slain many,

and saved the lives of many ed to slay the deh up was it?

The clouds were laid out below hiiant

With red skin and a giant horn

The demon lord

"Kuuuh"

Countless wounds were visible on his colossal body

He gritted his teeth and stared at his foe, struggling to retain consciousness

In his foe’s right hand, the holy sword shone brightly

""

His foe was standing on top of his forehead The hero who slayed the deht now?"

The de but fury towards hie his power

So he asked his foe, his equal, out of curiosity

"If you’re asking for hts"

The hero spoke

His face seemed somewhat pale as he fell towards certain death

""

After a small pause, he replied quietly

"I’m tired"

The demon lord could not understand his answer

"What?"

Yes, this is enough right?

That hat he truly thought

Why?

’If it’s not you, if you’re not here, if you can’t’

He’s heard it a million times

’Only you can do it’

’It’s impossible unless it’s you’

’Only you can save them’

’You must protect them’

To act as the symbol of their hope, to live up to their wishes

It had taken its toll on hiazes that were trying to hold onto what little faith they had
