-----

Two entities with abstract appearances and masters of unnatural yet essential attributes, Zudithe, the God of Space, and Judith, the Goddess of Time observe not the world of Terra but an alien world to them.

It was so similar, yet so strange compared to Terra.

It had a vast ocean filled with life, and several green continents overflowing with civilizations, yet many dangers.

"This is his world?" asked Judith.

"Yes. This is… Earth," said Zudithe.

"How beautiful… It shines with life and splendor. Yet… it is a world filled with flaws and chaos, such as ours…" sighed Judith.

"We had done what we could, but the time dilation that the boy was provoking broke when he fell into a coma… and this world's time has been going at almost the same rate as ours…" sighed Zudithe.

"He is indeed an Overseer. Such amazing power as making time go slower for the planets he is connected with that he is not visiting is something not even us can perform… But when such connection loosens due to his coma state, Earth ended taking its normal course of time…" sighed Judith.

"It has been a bit over five months since he fell into this state, and his soul is slowly shaping, alongside his body… He is awakening his true powers… But how long will he take?" wondered Zudithe.

"This world is in peril… And Abraddon's Nation needs their Hero…" said Judith.

"But haven't we done too many terrible things to him already? Asking for more would only make us feel more guilty… He is not from our world, yet he has suffered a fair amount of things in ours. His destiny is not with Terra, but with the endless cosmos…" said Zudithe.

"It is incredibly selfish to ask for his help… But have we not been selfish before?" asked Judith.

"We are incredibly selfish, flawed, and foolish. Yet… we call ourselves Gods. We are not Gods, but simply… people with more power than others…" said Zudithe.

"But even then, our power is weakened, and what we can do might as well amount to nothing against the Demon King…" said Judith.

"Axitl is sorrowful… I have tried to speak with her, but she seems to not answer…" said Zudithe.

"We are terrible parents… this is our punishment…" sighed Judith.

"The only thing we can do is watch over his world… just to see the same problems and tragedies as ours unfold…" sighed Zudithe.

"The Heroes have assembled, yet the representative of the Beast-kin is nowhere…" said Judith.

"The Demon King is soon to awaken, and the Chaos Generals, the Demon King's body pieces emerge…" said Zudithe.

"And Frank slumbers… What bad timing, we should not have planned to make Frank our Hero as well, now we have been left without one," sighed Judith.

"Abraddon will get angry at us…" said Zudithe.

"There is someone worthy of being our Heroine, but she is not from this world…" said Judith.

"Are we selfish enough to ask her for such a task?" asked Zudithe.

"I don't want to burden Frank, nor his family…" said Judith.

"Me neither, but we are left without options," said Zudithe.

"No options… huh?" wondered Judith.

"Is there something on your mind?" asked Zudithe.

"…Chaos has been born…" said Judith.

"Sooner than we expected…" sighed Zudithe.

"This was… an outsider's intervention…" said Judith.

"…Don't you mean…?" asked Zudithe.

"They're here…" said Judith.

Terra's Spatial Layers tremble.

Something within it seems to glare at the planet.

Its influence seems to have been enough.

Chaos has been born.

The cleansing has begun.

And the harvest shall be plenty.

(Hero of Humans POV)

No one told me that I was going to become a Hero.

I mean, I was born in a little village, isolated from the rest of the world.

My big brother always told me that I should always look up at the sky, and be guided by the sun, as I seek my path and my purpose in the world.

…I miss him.

I hope… whenever he is now, that he can be happy.

I still remember those days.

I was just a little brat.

The usual day on the farm, attend crops, take care of the little chicks, give food to the animals… sneak and steal some eggs… the usual.

However, it was a bit different.

It was the day I was registering as a citizen of Aladel Nation.

Yeah, that is where I live- lived.

Aladel, the Goddess of Light and Order.

Eton, the God of the Sun, and Day.

Everyone knows them, right?

Parents of all humans?

Mother of Light and Father of the Sun?

Yeah, the usual.

But I never thought that such high entities would ever choose such a crappy brat like me as the Hero.

I mean… I was just a crappy farm brat, what did I even have to qualify as a Hero?

Absolutely nothing, I was not even good at magic, I have not even awakened my Mana Core yet and my parents had already assumed I would not do it at this point.

I mean, usually, kids that do not awaken magic after being ten years of age are often called 'Magicless', and we never get to use magic.

I had already… assumed my life would be as relaxing and normal as every day.

But nope.

Life gave me a big twist.

"You… You are… a Hero, Lance!"

That is what the pope said when a strange red and yellow tattoo appeared in my right hand.

I did not know what it was, but it really burned like hell when it got stuck into me.

And yeah I got this little vision before all of that.

Would you believe if I told you that I spoke with the Gods?

The actual Aladel and Eton.

I never cared about Gods before, to be honest.

I was never religious.

And when I saw them they looked more like monsters than people…

Not a fan of the Gods, but yeah they are the big bosses here, and if I did not want to obey them… well, I did not want to unleash the rage of the Gods.

I was more crept out than surprised, but yeah whatever.

Aladel resembled a giant feathered woman with six dove wings and golden armor, she had six arms and three heads too… Yeah, that is why I told you that they did not look like humans at all!

And Eton… well, Eton… haha…

He was a literal sphere of flames with an eye in the center.

Hmm…

Not very human-like, but okay, whatever, you are the Gods here, I am a mere mortal, I cannot say anything about my progenitor's appearances.

They told me about duty and more blabber.

Yeah, the usual.

They got angry over my 'bratty' attitude, but I told them something.

"If you're so annoyed by my attitude why are you even choosing me? Isn't there some other flashy guy to give them the responsibility of literally saving the world? Perhaps someone that… I don't know, can use magic at least?"

And they got even angrier, and ended up reprimanding me, telling me all about responsibility and that the Hero was someone that had something in the soul or whatever and that I had it because of some kind of fated destiny…

Okay, I get it, fine…

I opened my eyes and the pope was saying the line.

And then, the burning light entered my body, and my Mana Core began to glow, it awakened!

…Actually, what surprised me the most was that I had two.

In the end, I just needed to become the Hero to use magic!

…Yeah I was not so much into it at first, but I was forced into it.

I had no option.

My parents got happy over it and I could not possibly let them down, I loved them too much.

So I did my duty and trained hard, cultivated, killed monsters, gathered strength, learned spells, and more stuff…

Fast forward to the present, I had already gathered two companions, Dranya and Lacust, my left and right hand.

Dranya was a lovely and a bit of an annoying girl… but she was good with healing and reinforcing magic, and deep down she was just very shy! …I think.

And Lacust… he was my friend back on the farm, he grew bigger than me and was a pack of muscles, specialized in defensive magic, and liked to call himself 'The Hero's Shield'.

I do not know what to say about such a Title, but if he is happy over it that is fine.

…Yeah.

At some point, I and my friends managed to get rid of several giant monsters inside dungeons, and managed to save a lot of people…

Haha, please do not praise me like that, I am a bit flustered when I am around people.

When I was finally given a ton of recognition, money began to flow like an endless stream.

I went to live in the big city with my parents and all, I thought I finally had a nice life.

But… deep within me, I knew that this was not the end.

What the Gods said… Yeah, I was destined not to kill some random monsters, but to literally save the world alongside other Heroes.

My main target? The Demon King, a being made of Chaos that is born every 100.000 years to screw the entire world.

Way too crazy? I know, this was quite out of my scope, but I trained hard again and broke my limits a lot.

After that, some guys from the Ancient Order contacted me, and then, I met the other Heroes.

Three other guys, all of them had pretty high airs and were quite charismatic fellows.

…I felt a bit overwhelmed by their amazing auras, to be honest.

But that is not the point of this, the point is that I managed to get through their personalities and managed to make of them… good friends, even if all of them were rather… different than me.

I mean, all of them were different races.

I represented the Humans, as Lance, the Hero of Iridescent Sunlight.

Sylphid represented the Elves, she was the Heroine of Storming Oceans, a picky and proud elf princess… not easy to deal with, elves are way too proud and arrogant, I tell you that.

Grudgrug represented the Dwarves, he was the Hero of Blazing Hammerstone, a prideful guy, but he was less annoying and better mannered than Sylphid.

And Mizginneth, representing the Demons, was the Heroine of Starlight Darkness, unlike the rest of us she was a mature woman, a respected witch within her nation, she is rather mysterious but seems to be good-natured deep down…

Ah, she does not like us to call the Demon King as 'Demon' because it is discriminatory to her race, and the Demon King has been renamed as the 'Chaos King' instead.

And there we were, from different places, all unified to learn from each other and grow stronger, adapting to each other abilities so one day we can slay… the Chaos King.

…Wait, where was the Hero of the Beast-kin?
