Is this Hero for Real?

Chapter 27: [Bonus] Lone Wolf



Chapter 27: [Bonus] Lone Wolf

[A certain demon god hurriedly shakes his stolen underwear.]

[A certain water god is shocked at the familiar underwear.]

[A certain god]

We each helped the living in our own separate ways, and the living progressed to various things 

after receiving help.

Humans, fairies, demons, angels

And they fought.

Countless lives were lost in vain because they couldnt accept each other.

To the almighty God!

I dont want to die yet!

God! Save me!

We did not turn our backs on those who asked for our help.

I wasnt an exception, either

Cough cough!

[A certain god finds a dying young life.]

Oh! Dear God!

[A certain god gravely asks if you want to live.]

Of course I do! I want to live! I cant die like this!

A man covered from head to toe in injuries cried out as he threw up blood.

There were no healers nearby, and he would surely die if time passed.

I granted his wish.

Poof!

Waaah?1

As he wished, the man earned a new life as a healthy infant.

That wasnt all, however. I did all the finishing touches

[A certain god hurries you to go to the west cave.]

Oh!

From God?!

An elderly couple who got my prophecy picked up the baby and raised it with love.

And after time passed, I gave them a visit to see how he was doing.

He was then a dignified young man.

[A certain god delightfully asks how youre doing.]

God? Are you the god from back then?

[A certain god says yes.]

[A certain god asks what else you need help with.]

I curse you! The woman I love was taken from me because you made me into a baby!

[A certain god is taken aback]

[A certain god argues you never asked for a woman.]

Of course not! It would only have meaning if I interrupted the wedding and saved her myself!

[A certain god is deep in thought.]

[A certain god apologizes.]

Is that all? Take responsibility! My childhood was worse than death! I grew up getting beat up 

by the child of the woman I love!

[A certain god leaves.]

Come back!

The curse of the boy who blamed me gradually faded away.

Had I done something wrong?

I didnt know, but I was sure Id do better next time.

My friends were

Thank you! Nightfall used to be miserable, but now I look forward to it!

[A certain god is proud.]

This is my tribute! Please let us have a safe voyage!

[A certain wind god is flattered.]

Ahahaha! The god of war is on our side! Charge!

[A certain war god cheers on.]

The other gods were spending fruitful days getting worshiped by the weak lives in need.

Id try harder, too.

God! Dear god!

A woman with an unsightly scar across her face was looking for a god.

It must be because of that scar.

I knew at first sight, but I made a careful approach so as to not repeat the same mistake.

[A certain god says hello.]

Oh! Dear god!

[A certain god asks what happened.]

Please get rid of the scar on my face. Im certain some bitch who was jealous of my beauty 

sent an assailant!

I asked what happened, but she went straight to her demands.

I understood she was extremely resentful and desperate, but I wanted her to keep her manners 

and proper procedure. I didnt want to make another mistake.

[A certain god asks what happened.]

What happened? Thats

[A certain god draws the line that they wont help them if they dont know what happened.]

I guess I dont have any choice. A prince who begged me for my hand in marriage broke off the 

engagement as soon as he saw my scar.

[A certain god advises you to break the engagement and find a better man.]

After listening to what happened, it didnt seem like she needed my help.

The woman disagreed right away.

No! Theres no one better to marry than this prince! And there isnt a man who wants to marry 

me now that Im ugly.

[A certain god says theyre sure there is.]

There had to be.

I was sure of it, Id watched humans ever since they were created on the stars.

There would surely be a man who wanted to marry her somewhere

I dont want to! I dont want an ugly or incompetent man, no matter what!

[A certain god understands right away.]

Are you going to help me?

[A certain god says they always keep their promises.]

That time, I didnt lose control of my powers and make the mistake of turning her into a baby.

Poof!

The womans face recovered.

She became a bit younger, as Id put her back to before she got the scar, but it wasnt too young 

to get married or give birth.

After feeling the smooth skin on her face, she rushed to take out her compact mirror, and she 

cried.

Thank you! Thank you! You have no idea how miserable I was getting stepped on by ugly 

bitches!

[A certain god wishes you happiness.]

Yes! Ahaha!

The woman, back to being beautiful, rearranged the engagement and married the prince.

And time passed.

I got the chance to see her again while I was in a rivalry with a god that only healed people.

On a guillotine.

Off with the head of the dogs that were seduced by the villainess, An old man wearing a crown 

commanded.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The heads of handsome young boys dropped to the ground one by one.

The woman, who was branded as a villainess, cried out with a pale face.

Your majesty! Please spare me! It's my fault! I will never look the other way again!

Thanks to her time stopping from my help, she was still as young and as beautiful as ever.

But the old man that looked to be her husband did not budge.

Be thankful Im letting you die painlessly because of the good times we had.

The woman, realizing she had no hope of living, showed her true colors.

None of this would have happened if you satisfied me! Its your fault for being old and 

diseased!

Carry out the execution.

This is unacceptable! You abandoned me when I was ugly, too!

Snap! 

The queens head, who used to be called the kingdoms gem, fell onto the dirt floor.

And so did my heart.

[A certain god is depressed.]

* * *

* * *

The world changed.

So much had changed over the course of one life on this star that it was overwhelming for me to 

keep up.

Heroes, Demon Kings, levels, Blessings, Curses

We made rules.

Why?

Dear god! Help me!

Please give me the power of victory!

I want to win easily!

There were too many humans who thought of us as war tools.

[A certain impatient demon god puts down their durian.]

[A certain sword god plants carrots on the field.]

[A certain innocent goddess hugs her pillow.]

[A certain god]

We adjusted ourselves to the new order of things after putting a stop to the meaningless 

rivalries.

Except for me.

Bring the Saintess right now!

Give up. Another Hero took her while you were fighting.]

Kirk! The heal Blessing, at least!

Im working on it!

A Hero that had killed a high-rank demon was dying slowly.

Having several Blessings from the gods, the Hero was undoubtedly strong, but the cost of 

putting too much trust in the Saintess and fighting relentlessly was too high.

Lets call it the price of carelessness.

[Name] Cain

[Level] 38

[Blessings] Hero A, Warrior B, Invincibility E, Weapon D, Mercenary S, Fairy D, Grit A, 

Reflection B, Mermaid B, Vitality A, Blessing B

[Curses] Hunt E, Nature F, Demon E

[Dividend] 31.51

It didnt matter if one had the power to single-handedly change the flow of a war, the end would 

always come without warning

[A certain god asks if you want to live.]

Of course!

[A certain god warns you will lose everything you have.]

Its better than dying in vain like this!

[A certain god smiles.]

Those moments were my favorite. I could ruminate on the reason and meaning of my existence 

in a world that was once empty.

I was needed in this world.

Poof!

Im alive!

The heros body, which was ruined beyond repair, recovered.

Technically speaking, I only reverted everything back to its original state, but it gave the same 

results.

Now lets take back the Sainte huh?! What is this?! What happened to my level?!

[Name] Cain

[Level] 1

[Blessings] Hero A, Warrior B, Invincibility E, Weapon D, Mercenary S, Fairy D, Grit A, 

Reflection B, Mermaid B, Vitality A, Blessing B

[Curses] Hunt E, Nature F, Demon E

[Dividend] 31.51

His level was reset.

It was inevitable.

[A certain god drills you to remember your warning.]

I wasnt the same as before. I was sick of apologizing and regretting.

Be prepared to lose everything I have

The Hero recovered incredibly quickly after his mental shock.

That was also my Blessings effect.

He would never falter from his emotions for the rest of his life.

Whats important is that Im alive. Ill start again from level 1.

[A certain god is at ease.]

The hero stopped his adventures and returned to west Fantasia.

He hunted every single goblin in the forest he liked to use when he was a beginner.

$# %~?!

@%#~?!

Thanks to having a lot of useful blessings, he showed very fast progress.

But his Hero comrades didnt wait for him.

Cain. I have something to tell you

Im sorry. Forget a woman like me.

Hero. Im sincerely sorry.

Thinking he was hopeless, they all left his side using all kinds of excuses.

Damnit!

[A certain god is watching.]

How is this a Blessing?! Its the worst Curse there is!

[A certain god is displeased.]

Since you did save my life, I will stop the resentment and complaints.

[A certain god is at ease.]

But let me give you a word of advice, god.

Advice, to me?

[A certain god says to speak since they are curious.]

Dont give anyone a Blessing ever again. This is a Curse that takes away things more valuable 

than life.

[A certain god goes quiet.]

I wouldnt take a Blessing that takes me back to level 1 every time I use it, even in death.

[A certain god leaves.]

I had no more business with a Hero who denied my existence.

Lets find another Hero.

But the same thing happened, no matter how many times I tried.

How can I be level 1!

This is a horrendous Curse!

Please tell me this is a dream!

Every Hero that got my help was in denial and resented their outcomes. I couldn't stay stubborn 

anymore.

He was right.

[A certain god silently leaves.]

I wasnt needed in this world.

***

It was truly an uncoincidental coincidence that I came across that Hero.

I was lingering around the Temple because I still had unresolved feelings and found him passed 

out from a fairys arrow.

[A certain god peeps.]

Save me!

[A certain god asks why youre alone.]

Save me first!

This human was more stubborn than the woman Id saved before.

It was only right to ignore him, but

[Name] Kang Hansoo

[Level] 1

[Blessings]

[Curses] Hero E

[Dividend] 2.56

He had the Heros curse.

He wouldnt stop leveling up completely, but without any Blessings, he wouldnt survive long, 

either.

If he was going to die anyways

[A certain god ponders.]

Are you an outsider?

An outsider? Id never heard of such a thing.

[A certain god wants to know what an outsider is.]

An outsider is a lone wolf dashing through the wilderness.

A lone wolf!

I liked the sound of that.

[A certain god likes the meaning of an outsider.]

It fit perfectly with my unneeded, desolate position in this world.

[A certain god is certain theyre an outsider.]

Please save me.

[A certain god asks if youre also an outsider.]

Im an outsider, too. Thats why I was dropped here instead of getting summoned to the Temple 

like my friends.

I had known as soon as I saw his odd attire, and as expected, he was a Hero.

[Hero]

It was odd he had the Heros Curse instead of a Blessing, but it didnt go against the rules if I 

gave him a Blessing.

But then again

[A certain god ponders if they should help the poor outsider.]

[A certain god looks around and hesitates.]

[A certain god]

It felt like he would die, even if I saved him with my Blessing.

If he was going to die as a level 1 anyways, wouldnt it be okay to just give him the Blessing?

[Outsider]

I changed the name of my Blessing. That way, I would never get caught.

There was a time when I believed that.

[A certain god looks into the far galaxies.]

[A certain god says there are a lot of stars in the sky as always.]

[A certain god pretends to be asleep.]

[A certain god drills in that they will turn down any kind of suspicion.]

Could it be?

It looked like I was caught after all.

[A certain god says the outsider is stupid for getting fooled.]

Yeah. I know.

[A certain god flinches]

Why were you agreeing?

That Hero had very little mood swings, thanks to my Blessing.

But it was still normal to get mad?

He groaned.

I really am stupid! Levels reset too Its obvious if you think about it just a little! I just wasted 

my time exterminating orcs.

[A certain god is quizzical.]

That was it?

I didnt know why.

Outsider god, stop making fun of me. Lets go pick out some picture books.

He thought of me as a child!

But I didnt hate it.

[A certain god desperately prays.]

For my dying soul?

[A certain god says absolutely not.]

Then what did you pray?

[A certain god says its a secret.]

Yeah, fine.

I wish you would stay by my side.

Forever.
