Following the guidance of my aide, I moved to the imperial residence and stood in front of the huge door.

A door painted in gold that makes you feel like you spent a lot of money.

When I put the key in the keyhole and turned it, the door that had been firmly closed opened.

When the door was opened, numerous valuable treasures were revealed.

bang!

As I stepped inside, the door closed as if not allowing any more people in.

I looked at the closed door and stepped further inside.

As I looked around, I saw a list of treasures that were jaw-dropping.

But they weren’t very interesting to me.

I’m not that interested in treasures, and the only things that interest me more than anything are records related to past warriors.

‘There must be a record.’

It must have been about 10 minutes since I found records related to the warrior.

I was able to find a book lying in a corner.

I walked closer and checked the book. Judging from the faint but palpable aura of divine power, it seemed like this book was the right one.

I found a seat nearby, opened the book, and began to read quietly.

[A book containing records of old warriors.]

[In the span of tens of thousands of years, countless warriors appeared. What they all have in common is that they all sacrificed a lot to defeat the Demon King. What was different was the nickname that characterized them.]

[The abilities that warriors have in common are sacred power and holy sword, but they also have different characteristics. And depending on those characteristics, they are given a nickname that identifies them. Although most of the heroes who appeared over a period of tens of thousands of years do not all have different nicknames and characteristics, this book contains the nicknames and characteristics of the heroes who appeared during the tens of thousands of years when the empire was in existence.]

‘Tinnitus and characteristics.’

Come to think of it, Arien also had a second name that came later.

‘A hero in crisis.’

It was a nickname given to mean evolving to the next level in a crisis.

In particular, Arien had only gained a little of the strength of a warrior, but her strength as a warrior had not been fully awakened. A form that can be seen as a slightly different case from the previous heroes.

However, in the midst of the coming crisis, he awakened and showed himself as a true warrior, pulling out the holy sword.

The nickname ‘The Hero of Crisis’ was given to him because he was awakened in a crisis.

I continued to look at the book.

[Hero of Light.]

[On average, this can be said to be the most common tinnitus. Most normal heroes are heroes of light unless there is a major incident. Basically, he shows greater power in handling divine power than other warriors.]

In fact, the very essence of an ordinary hero.

However, it can be said that this nickname has more meaning than any other hero.

The one who first captured the Demon King was also the Warrior of Light.

The basic strength of the warrior of light was stronger than that of other warriors.

I next looked at the book.

[The warrior of greed.]

[Has the trait of lusting after evil. If it is evil, it devours everything and its power is replaced by divine power.]

[A hero of arrogance.]

[Everything is arrogance. Although he is basically the most arrogant of the warriors, he is fundamentally a good person. In any case, that change is due to the awakening of the hero. Basically, he is no different from other warriors who focus on saving the world. Unlike a warrior who progresses through growth, he gains power comparable to that of a transcendent from the time he first awakens.]

‘There are truly all kinds of warriors.’

What was even funnier was that the record felt like a description of a character from a game.

Also, starting with these two, there were records of warriors written on many pages. So much so that it’s hard to see it all.

I wondered when I was going to look into all of this, but I had no choice but to do it.

The reason I am looking for information about the old warriors is to find a nickname for myself.

If I had truly awakened as a warrior, there was a very high probability that there would be other names related to me, so I had to look into all of them.

I came to my senses by tapping my cheek and read the records about the hero again.

***

There were many cities in the empire, and each city had its own unique characteristics.

For example, Fate City, where outlaws exist.

Like the capital of an empire where the academy is located.

And there is a bard’s village that is small enough to be called a city, but large enough to be called a village.

A bard is a wandering being who recites songs called poetry, and the bard’s village was a place where such bards gathered.

Usually they wander, but that’s a thing of the past.

There are still bards wandering around, but there are also many bards who have settled in the village.

Artists came to see them to get inspiration, and so many people lived there that it could be said to be a gathering place for artists, not just a town of bards.

The bard’s village is having similar festival-like days every day.

News of the villages of such bards spread widely, and they became popular attractions for many people who came to see them.

One such village.

A bard was sitting on a chair, frowning.

The bard’s name is Garon.

His family had been bards for generations, and his parents and grandparents were famous people who told the stories of many people.

However, on the other hand, no one has been able to tell about Garon.

The reason was not that the bard was not talented, but because of his stubbornness.

That stubbornness is that unless you are a hero who will save the world, you will not do it.

But it’s not like a hero who wants to save the world appears.

Although I haven’t heard anything about it in 40 years of my life.

Just recently.

Due to the sudden fame of a warrior, he intuitively felt that his time to step forward was finally upon him. Although he was still a warrior full of rumors, he believed.

The warrior will achieve greater achievements and become a hero who saves the world!

“Hehehehe… ”

In order to see the light of his long-awaited 40 years of life, he created music for warriors.

Basically, he writes songs in the form of poetry, but he knows.

Not just the lyrics, but the meaning behind the song! That it fascinates people and announces the existence of heroes.

Of course, the lyrics could have been created later, but he decided to create the music first.

He was making music for the first time with so much passion that he fell into despair for the first time.

‘W-was this really this difficult?’

His family was all bards.

He is also a very famous bard.

A bard who wrote songs about people who achieved great achievements and spread their stories to the world.

Born with that kind of blood, he thought he might be talented.

I thought I could create such beautiful and sparkling songs like my parents and grandparents and spread them to the world.

But now for the first time in 40 years.

I realized how arrogant that thought was.

Actually, it was natural.

A bard is a being who spreads the stories of heroes.

Such beings wander around, personally feel stories about them, and create songs based on what they feel.

However, he, who had been living here for 40 years, was not able to build it just because he suddenly wanted to. Even if he was of bard blood.

The essence of the bard is to feel the stories of heroes.

Rather than simply hearing stories about them and making them up, I personally feel them as I recall their stories and lives.

You may ask how the story makes you feel, but the bards were able to do that.

Because they have a special ability to feel stories.

However, no matter how famous and powerful the bard’s bloodline may be, he is.

It was not something to be taken lightly for someone who had lived in a village for 40 years with only the desire to create a song for the hero who would save the world.

When Garon realized this fact, he fell into despair.

‘shit!’

I wish I had realized this fact earlier.

I was so angry that I realized this when I had the opportunity to create a story about a hero.

‘… ‘I’ll make it somehow!’

But that didn’t mean he could be broken.

It was a time when I decided that no matter what happened, I would try to create a song worthy of the warrior’s achievements.

smart!

Someone knocked on the door.

Garon opened the door without much doubt.

Then, a person appears, acting suspiciously.

Before he could even ask who it was, he instinctively felt threatened and tried to close the door again, but the person standing in front of the door was moving faster than him.

“Keuuu!”

One of the figures, who was holding his head so tightly as if it would explode, hit Garon in the abdomen, knocking him out.

A person carrying Garon, who had lost consciousness due to the strong shock, escaped leisurely.
