Hero Creator: The Last Hero
Ch. 41 — Men Who Seek Death

“Eating you very much even though you just woke up after some time unconscious, Rigel.”

Witness the stunning scenery where the chefs of the Regions are overwhelmed come-and-go just to serve food to Rigel. There is nothing wrong with eating because it includes the essential needs of humans but its appetite surpasses that of humans!

Speaking of the dining room, there are Takumi, Yuri, Hazama and two other girls on Rigel's side. The rest of the Heroes seemed to be touring the Region.

“Two weeks? Maybe a month or so I was unconscious. It's natural that hunger haunts my stomach.”

“The most unnatural thing is that you stay healthy despite sleeping like a dead person!” Seeing his healthy friend Takumi certainly rejoiced but so attentive to the pile of dishes on both sides he could only shake his head, “Even in the Japanese anime, strong people are synonymous with eating a lot.”

Without eating or drinking, even urinating. Rigel slept, probably more precisely unconscious for a long time. As a result of the last fight drained more energy and forced him to play things that he usually did not do.

Not a crucial need but this is one form of Rigel's resistance to something that awaits him.

“Eat slowly, Rigel. Here, I'll bribe you.” On the right side is Priscilla with an adult form that has not gone since Rigel woke up, gently taking a spoon and intending to bribe her.

Rigel did not refuse and willingly ate it, making Tirith by his other side puff up his cheeks.

“Do not make out with my man!” Tirith brushed off Priscilla's hand intending to put meat in Rigel's mouth, “It's my right to bribe her!”

“Ara, little girl. It is impolite to refuse a person who sincerely shows his affection for the man he loves. After all your age is not enough to be with him, look how miserable the fruit is.” Priscilla stood up in unison, puffing her chest and making her sway.

Tirith furrowed his brows as soon as he saw the two fruits swaying. Indeed his is not big but anyway Rigel views it that it is just a fat bulge, very large it is strange to see.

“For you who have lived for a thousand years ago, obviously I am a child.” Tirith admitted that considering that Priscilla had been present since the previous generation's Hero, “But isn't it shameless that the thousand-year-old granny was after the young man? I don't know what makeup you wear on the face but the bottom of it must be wrinkles!”

“K—Fuck you little girl!” Priscilla intends to start a small fight with Tirith.

“Hah~, annoying.” Rigel sighed tiredly, flicked his fingers and brought up the sharp iron thorns that almost pierced the necks of Priscilla and Tirith to silence their mouths, “This is better.” Rigel smiled in satisfaction and nodded.

Yuri and Takumi looked at each other, they smiled wryly at Rigel's exaggerated actions.

A few minutes after the silence and Rigel finished his meal, his relaxed face returned as solemn as ever. Rigel understood missing things and therefore at least he wanted to relax while eating before turning his brain hard.

“Now, let's explain to me what happened since that fight.”

Takumi and Yuri explain alternately about the many events Rigel passed through. Starting from the election of Asoka as Heavenly Emperor, the union of humanity under his control and even Demi-humans gave a helping hand because Asoka freed slavery in this world.

The formation of the Legion Of Liberation army became the thing that surprised Rigel the most from everything he passed, he did not expect that there would be four large forces that would bring them to Ragnarok.

“Under the orders of the Heavenly Emperor, Asoka. The other Kings trained troops until the time came, the Heavenly Emperor also gave the order of practicing the use of modern weapons under the auspices of the Ainsworth nobility and veterans who had been proficient in using them.”

He had already predicted that if Asoka would become a Heavenly Emperor, even if not him, the other candidates were quite easy to manipulate.

“The wise choice to have Natalia and the Ainsworth family remember them is the Weapon Master, a group of great men capable of wielding even foreign weapons in this land.”

Without Rigel's existence, the world would never know how terrifying the nuclear and hot lead of the earth, the weapons capable of annihilating mankind. Although magic is much more powerful but its use alone is not unlimited.

The more powerful the magic used the more mana consumption.

“In addition, there is another important thing to convey. One of them is what Miss Natalia wants to convey only when you are conscious, Rigel.” Yuri looked serious about his words.

Rigel does not know what it is but from Takumi's little explanation, there is a mysterious figure who approaches Rigel when he is sprawled after the fight.

It is not known what or who it is but from current speculation the figure dates back a thousand years and the real oddity is that he recognizes Rigel.

“There are many strange things, everything refers to a thousand years in the past.” Rigel murmured when he found many things that were not understood.

Many mysteries went unanswered to the point that he wanted to go back in time to answer all the questions. Soon she passes something important, Rigel retreats and pulls Priscilla into Ciel's control room.

He could see Tirith's face looking sad and worried, as if she was being cheated on but Rigel didn't really care what she felt.

...***...

“Now I want to tell you something important, Priscilla. I'm sure you're aware that I'm the Fairy King, the man who married your mother Sylph.” Seeing Priscilla nod Rigel continue his explanation, “Then you know that sooner or later your coronation ceremony as Queen will be carried out but before that ... Do you remember everything that happened in the Hell's Labyrinth? Seeing you still recognize me quite explains you didn't forget that place.”

The problem was to what extent he could remember, the last words he gave during the final farewell could not be forgotten by him, besides Rigel now held back his meaning.

Priscilla took a deep breath, from the very beginning she did want to convey this pitiful thing.

“You must know my story of sacrificing the body to seal the Tortoise. It should have taken my life to my soul.”

“In fact your body is just asleep and your soul gets to that place.” Rigel completes the words of Priscilla.

He who should have sacrificed all to seal Tortoise should no longer have the chance to see the world, but somehow his soul went to a place called the Hell's Labyrinth.

A coincidence? If so it's a very funny coincidence that there are over ten million souls gathered there.

“Yes, the fact is I'm still alive. Although only a soul and in a foreign place, I live.” Priscilla closed her eyes, opened them and looked bitter and sad, “After arriving there, I was not the first. That place already has enough people. Among all, the first person I met was ... The man who negates everything, the figure who seeks death.”
