Shin Sang Legend
Don't need a hero?

But in reality, instead of feeling pleased with that kind of mysterious feeling in her, Melika was not only unhappy, but also a little scared.

Therefore, Melika acted so tensely in front of Shin.

Perhaps, such was the reaction of a girl who was completely pure and liked to chase.

**********

“Huftt..”.

On the small road in the dark forest, a sigh could be heard.

Shin was walking in that section and doing a aimless job while thinking about the truly unnegligible news he had just gotten.

“And there I thought I came to a world full of cliches.”

And results?

“This turnaround is rather sudden, isn't it?”

At the very least, even now, Shin had not managed to calm down.

“So I was cheated, huh?”

Isn't that exactly like that?

“Although the Demon King has clearly been defeated, and the world has been at peace for a thousand years, in this kind of situation, where exactly does the Hero need to save him?”

However, the goddess did use such an excuse and resurrected the once-dead Shin, awakened him as a Hero, and summoned him to this world.

Shin did not understand at all.

Moreover, he felt that all his efforts up until now had been in vain.

“Although for the sake of defeating the Demon King, I became an adventurer from the beginning.”.

Shin's reason for choosing to become an adventurer wasn't just to earn money.

If he wanted to earn money, Shin could easily do as he had done before, spend a few days in a forest filled with demonic beasts, killing a group of demonic beasts, killing a group of demonic beasts, and then collect their parts for sale. That way, he would not have to worry about his living expenses at all.

Moreover, even to level up and become stronger, Shin did not need to become an adventurer. He could have directly fought against the demonic beasts. That was enough to guarantee that his level would instantly rise.

However, in the end, Shin still chose to become an adventurer. It was not only because he was interested in this legendary otherworldly fantasy work, but also for the sake of having an identity in this world to achieve the ultimate goal of defeating the Demon King.

Otherwise, as an outsider who had just come to this world, how could Shin find the Demon King, let alone defeat him?

Therefore, Shin needed information. He also needed a way for him to obtain a wide variety of information in this world without any restrictions.

And being an adventurer is a good way to do that.

After all, in almost every story, adventurers were existences that tended to run in all directions and would end up wandering around every location in the world. There were adventurer guilds in the background as a force spread all over the world. With all that, Shin could easily use the identity of an adventurer to assimilate into this world and naturally obtain all sorts of information about this world.

By the time that happened, if Shin did not have an identity, then there would definitely be a lot of trouble.

Thus, Shin could perfectly imagine that if he was not an adventurer and ended up being aloof, not communicating with anyone, secretly earning money and leveling up, he said, then there will surely come a day where he finally attracts suspicion.

With all of those things as they were, and after considering all kinds of problems, Shin then chose to become an adventurer, and used that identity as a starting point to assimilate into this world, he said, and only then consider additional plans.

That way, when his level was high enough and he gathered enough information and could defeat the Demon King, Shin could instantly go to end and move to complete that goal.

That was why Shin had finally taken this particular path.

But who would have thought…

“Since the Demon King has been defeated, and the world has been peaceful again for a long time, then there is no need for me to try and fight with a creature that even the gods fear. I can instead start my second life peacefully, and live a normal life as an adventurer.”

From that point of view, this matter is really good news.

Although, Shin did not believe that the goddess who summoned him to this world resurrected him and made him a Hero just for fun.

The goddess must have only summoned Shin for a certain purpose. That little bit is undeniable.

Plus, the others used the defeated Demon King as an excuse to deceive him.

This gave Shin a feeling like he was trapped in some kind of unknown plot.

“Well, that kind of development is a possible route too, I guess?”

Shin could face it. Inevitably his attitude was the same as usual, so he received this sudden news.

Plus, he couldn't be sure now that everything was some sort of dark plot.

“Maybe the Demon King didn't really die, and Nian learned of this so he reactivated the Hero summoning ritual? Who knows?”

Or perhaps, in reality the demon race, after a thousand years of recovery, decided to reverse the shame of losing against the gods and reignite the war, and that was the reason Nien reactivated the summoning of Heroes. What about such an arrangement?

Just…

“For someone as gentle as Vivian to say firmly that Heroes should not appear, one would think that at the moment, the relationship between the three races cannot change at all huh?”

If the matter of the reappearance of the Hero is finally revealed, then no matter what circumstances lie behind it or are hidden, the relationship between the three races will definitely become risky.

As Vivian had said, no matter what happened, if the demons knew of the Hero's existence, then there was no way they would just let it go, there was no way they would ignore this threat.

And if humans knew that the gods did the Hero summoning, then they would definitely suspect the demons had done something, and thus end up discriminating against them.

Directly after, the gods might even want to borrow the power of the Hero to completely eliminate their one-time enemy, the devil.

No matter which world it was, ambition and ill will were things that would never be lacking. There are people who yearn for peace in the three races, so there must be people who want to destroy all that. If the existence of the Hero is confirmed, Shien can, without a second thought, think of dozens of ways to use it as an opportunity and a reason to let those with the desire to act as they please.

“Definitely Vivian already knew all that so she spoke firmly so that a Hero should not appear, huh?”

The moment the Heroes appeared, no matter what the reason was, their own existence would be a spark that would destroy the peace.

And it's definitely something that most people don't want to see.

Because it's…

“This world no longer needs Heroes.. Hah?”.

Shin once again sighed.

At that moment, a voice entered Shin's ear.

“Indeed, this world no longer needs Heroes.”

The sentence that sounded through the increasingly dark forest made Shin suddenly stop.
