Shin Sang Legend
Nien
“In addition, the Heroes summoned in the previous call came from a different world than yours.”
The goddess said something even more shocking.
*********
“From a different world than me?”
The unexpected truth made Shin pause for a moment in the midst of sipping his tea. His face also showed confusion.
The reaction made the goddess laugh involuntarily.
“You didn't hear wrong, you know?” The goddess laughed, “There are many other worlds beyond Omnipotlin. His previous life was just one of them. The only similarity between them was that the other world was all very peaceful. They had no gods or demons, nor was there any special power. Since they are completely independent existences, even us gods cannot interfere with them. The limit of what we can do is operate within the limits of [Logic[to call those who have Hero talent.”
It was truly something Shin had never imagined.
However, thinking about it, it seemed understandable.
If the gods could really summon people from other worlds as they pleased, then the gods would not need to create various races to fight demons. They could have summoned the workforce from another world directly.
Although it was said that those who had the potential to become Heroes were extremely rare even in other worlds.
Because they would not possess a Holy Sword, and not everyone could even possess a unique skill. For most of the people in this world, they could only work hard from the ground up and slowly raise their level and learn a skill, he said, and only then did they have a chance to stand on top.
Therefore, when it comes to labor, there is no real difference in any world.
If the gods could summon everyone from another world, then most of them would probably be no different from the people in this world, and they would have to practice from scratch. Only a small percentage of them can awaken their own unique skills, and whether those unique skills can be used in combat is still unknown.
Only those who could potentially become Heroes could awaken such powerful unique skills and bear their own Holy Sword.
Therefore, all the gods needed was Heroes, so they could only summon Heroes.
Only, those who could become Heroes were even rarer.
Since ancient times, Heroes summoned to this world had not even reached 10, and every Hero was from a different world. It basically meant that the world at most had one person capable of becoming a Hero, and for many worlds, they would not have anyone who could become a Hero.
“Add again, even among Heroes, there is a power difference.” The goddess told, “In the past, the Holy Sword and the unique skill that the Hero resurrected all varied.”
Therefore, there would naturally be Heroes who awakened extremely powerful Holy Swords and unique skills, and others.
“Even a Hero may not be able to defeat a Demon King.”
The expression of the goddess looked slightly depressed. Or maybe it's disappointment.
Seeing that, Shin understood.
‘Perhaps, from the Heroes summoned in the past, none of them could defeat the Demon King, huh?’
If the Demon King had been defeated, then there was no point in summoning Shin.
Since the Demon King was still around, the gods had to keep summoning Heroes.
Thus it could be seen how powerful the Demon King was, as he had remained invincible to the Heroes for centuries.
Then, what about himself?
Can he defeat the Demon King?
As Shin thought about that, the goddess once again turned her gaze towards him.
He just looked at her calmly.
“I think you are the Hero most likely to reach this goal.” Said the Goddess, she seemed to be talking to herself, “After all, be it a Holy Sword or a unique skill, I don't think the previous Hero can match you.” Shin did not know how he should respond to those words.
Should he be happy to get such an evaluation?
Unfortunately…
For that, the corner of Shin's mouth started twitching.
That goddess. He couldn't really have the ability to read minds or anything, right?
Let's try it.……
Thinking that, Shin began to imagine in his mind a number of images that were not for children.
“……！”
At that moment, the goddess who was originally full of smiles suddenly froze, and on that pretty face, a red hue appeared.
“You... Why you…! What are you thinking!?”
The goddess kicked down the table and yelled angrily, leaving Shin shocked.
“You can read minds!?”
Shin stood up in fear.
“I never said I couldn't, did I?”
The goddess still had a slight red hue on her face.
It seemed like this goddess was still pure unexpectedly.
Just when Shin thought so in his mind, a gaze filled with killing intent penetrated into him, making him shudder. So he hurriedly calmed himself down and cleared all foreign thoughts.
“Hmph!” The goddess sniffed coldly and stood up, “We end this chat here. I'll send you back!”
As she said it, and without giving Shin any time to react, the goddess waved her hand and the world started to spin again.
“Wait!” Shin finally asked in haste, “You still haven't told me what to call you!”
It was also something Shin had wanted to know all along.
All along, Shin only knew that the other was a goddess. Now that he knew that this world had more than one god, and they were actually an entire race, naturally Shin wanted to know the name of another person.
Then…
“You can call me Nien.”
With that, the goddess who called herself Nien flicked her finger, and Shin, along with the space revolving around her, disappeared from the temple.
……
Shien opened his eyes inside the inn room and discovered that he had been lying back on the bed at some point, as if he had never left from the first place.
“I just came back?”
Shin was a little unsure. He even suspected that he might have only been dreaming all this time.
However, the delicacy of the red tea scent that was still left in his mouth told Shin that what had just happened was definitely not a dream.
“If only I knew, then rather than acting indecent, wouldn't it be better to ask more questions?”
After all, there were still many things that Shin did not know.
But…
“Should I say, the goddess is quite cute when she is shy.”
Shin smiled.
So, the night went by like this.
