The Legends Of Creator Hero
Screams of regret

Four days have passed since the attack on the Region. During those four days, no movement of any kind occurred so that the Region's powerful defenses had been disabled and the danger level was lowered to rank three and would be eliminated when eight days had passed.

Residents have resumed their activities, ranging from cleaning the streets, preparing food for the workers who rebuilt the Region from scratch. Rigel could have made a house easily, but the residents rejected it and wanted to build it with their own efforts. Rigel did not reject him because he also needed a break. So for now, Rigel is off and around town.

Every time Rigel passed by the workers, they always paid their respects to Rigel. Because it was exhausting to pay their respects one by one, Rigel chose to ignore them. The city's construction was going fast, and even Ray and Fang helped out occasionally. Although it is very troublesome to take care of various things, Rigel feels happy because it makes a country from Zero.

Rigel had walked all the way to the outskirts of the city that had yet to be repaired. And from a distance, the voice of a little girl called out to him cheerfully.

"Sister Rigel~"

Rigel turned his head to find out who it was, there, Riri was running towards him while waving his hand. Not only him, but other small children of his age followed behind him, there were three girls and two men. Rigel searched for the nearest rock debris and sat on it.

A smile grew in Rigel's mouth as he watched the children play in the blazing sun cheerfully.

"Good morning, Brother Rigel..." Riri said while breathing rough from fatigue, while the other child looked at Rigel with admiration.

"Good morning, Riri. Are you all right?" Ask Rigel.

"Yes, I'm fine." Reply Riri.

"Wahh, he's really the hero my father told me about!" Said one of the boys with passion.

"Really! you're great Riri because the Hero Lord knows you!" Another child cried.

For some reason, Riri smiled proudly and puffed his chest like he was proud of himself. Apparently, being able to be known by a hero is something great among children. Rigel could not help but smile as he looked at Riri who was bragging himself in front of the other children.

"What are you doing in this suburb? This place hasn't got any repairs, so there could be debris falling so it's a danger to play here." Rigel gave the little ones a warning.

"Initially we wanted to meet the boy and accompany him. But since Riri said she saw the Hero Lord walking here, we decided to chase after you..." Excited another child.

Riri who puffed out her chest, was surprised as if she remembered something important and walked over to Rigel.

"That kid?" Mumbles Rigel.

"Sister Rigel, can we ask you a favor? This may sound very selfish but, can you help the child? he always seemed lonely, but he always stayed away from others and said that he could be independent." Riri said sadly, as did the other children. They looked sad as they discussed the child they had called with the child.

Rigel had no idea who the child they were referring to, but listening to their small requests was not a bad thing to fill his free time. Rigel stood up and said...

"All right, I'll do it. Take me to where the kid you mean is. But I also didn't guarantee that I could help her." Rigel.

"All right! Thank you, Rigel. Then come here..." Riri grabbed Rigel's right hand and led the way.

The other children were walking on Rigel's side as the boys looked at Rigel's left arm curiously. They must have never seen anything like it.

"Sir Hero, can I ask you about your left arm?" Ask the boys.

"I'm also curious that your left eye is always closed, can you tell me?" Ask the other child.

"Okay, let's start with this left hand. This hand is a fake hand made of very hard metal. You can hit him if you want, but don't cry if your hands hurt when you hit him." Rigel.

"I'll try it!" Said the boy who asked earlier with excitement.

Rigel slightly lowered his body and straightened his arms so that the boy could hit him easily. The boy made the horses to punch, as he punched him...

*pack...

His hands swelled red and the boy seemed to be enduring the pain. Rigel thought that he would cry soon. But reality says something else.

"Kuh! it's so loud, Master Hero! Even my hands hurt a lot when I hit them! Can I have the same arm as yours?!" Asked the child excitedly, the other little boy also looked excited.

"Maybe, as long as you want to cut off your hand, I'll just put an arm like this. It hurts so much when your arm breaks." Rigel.

The children's expressions were horrified when Rigel said that they had to sever their arms if they wanted to get the same artificial arm. Imagining the pain of severing his arm, the children made a horrified expression and gave up on getting it.

"Then, what about your left eye, Master Hero?" Ask a girl.

"Just like my left arm, my left eye is also shattered by something so it can't see anymore and will be closed like this." Reply Rigel.

He never intended to explain that his left eye had gotten a better replacement, although he could only use it when he wanted to use Ciel.

It did not take long for Rigel and the other children to arrive at the place where the child was meant by Riri. Rigel looked at him in surprise, the boy seemed to be building his house alone. If not mistaken, he was the boy who protested against Rigel when dealing with slave traders in Ruberios.

"That kid, where are his parents? and why is he trying to build his house all by himself?" Mumbles Rigel.

"Of course, from what other newcomers say, he has no parents. His parents are long dead." Reply Riri.

But that's not enough to explain why he's trying to build his own house. Rigel let go of Riri's hand and walked towards the child who was cleaning up the rubble by himself.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Rigel.

"Are you blind, of course I'm building a house..." Said the boy.

Even though he was a boy, he had a razor sharp tongue. Rigel kept staring at the boy to understand what kind of personality he had.

"I'm wrong, then I'll change my question. Why are you doing it alone? Since you're an orphan, you shouldn't be doing this. Asoka will do something for sure." Rigel.

"no need. I will live independently without any help. One more thing, I hate heroes like you." Strictly the boy.

"What's your reason for hating heroes? Account doesn't remember doing anything bad to you." Reply Rigel.

The boy, who had been cleaning up the rubble all the time stopped and looked at Rigel. Surprisingly, he ran quickly towards Rigel and stabbed the iron he was hiding into Rigel's stomach.

Of course Rigel wouldn't get hurt with an amateur like that boy. Rigel easily grabbed the iron and picked up the boy and gently threw it away so he wouldn't get hurt.

"When you're this strong, but why don't you help everyone?! if you had been there that day, my parents, my brother, and all the villagers wouldn't have died!" The boy said, his face red with anger.

"What hero didn't even come to help my village?! just because we are a small village, you can just ignore it?! Don't you joke?!" Further.

Rigel silently listened, while the other children seemed concerned for him. Rigel did not understand, why did this boy insist on giving everything to him? If he hates heroes it's okay. Because Rigel doesn't like his hero title either. When Rigel was that boy's age, I don't know how many times he expected the hero's arrival. Rigel wants to be saved from that hell-like orphanage. But many times his hopes were betrayed.

Rigel knew what made this boy like this. He's similar to Rigel, having to go through a lot of weight while he's a kid. This kid needs to be saved, he wants to be saved.

"Do you know what caused your parents to be killed?" Ask Rigel.

"Of course it's because you didn't come to help!!" The boy replied to Rigel's question quickly. He put his hands on his face and started crying.

Either way this would work or not for him, there was no choice for Rigel other than to do it.

"No. It's your fault, your fault for being too weak in this harsh world..." Reply Rigel with his creepy eyes.

"What do you mean this is all my fault?! I don't understand!!" Shouted the boy.

"You're weak, just don't understand? because you're weak, you can't protect the people you care about. Because you're weak your village was attacked. Because you're weak your old man's dead!" Rigel said, raising his voice.

Riri and the other children looked a little surprised when they heard Rigel raise his voice. They just think that Rigel is a gentle and strong man.

The way to save him is to keep blaming him, blame him for everything, blame him for what happened. Continue to blame and drop him, then he will rise up by himself.

"Everything...My fault?" Mumbled the boy.

"Right, it's all your fault it's too weak to protect your family. If only you were stronger, you could have protected at least one person." Rigel.

The truth is cruel. The world is harsh for children without parents. Rigel understood that well.

"Then what should I do? Even if I become strong, who should I protect? and what should I protect?? I no longer have anything to protect." said the boy as he cried.

"Look around you, there are many people you can protect. Everyone in the Region is your family, your new family. No matter where you come from, Region is a place where everyone can be a family and embrace laughter together." Rigel took a step towards the boy who started kneeling while crying.

Rigel stretched out his right hand and patted the boy's head gently.

"From now on you are also a member of our family, Region. Be stronger and protect your new family, don't let what happens in your village happen here too. Lift up your head and stop looking back and face the man standing before you..."

The boy followed Rigel's words and looked ahead. In front of him, Rigel's smiling face was the first sight he saw and behind him, Riri and the other children's faces were the second thing he saw. The third scene, the shadows of the people began to appear in the middle of the sun's glare. He didn't realize it, there were so many people who cared about him all this time. But he never intended to face them.

Tears began to flow rapidly, the sound of anger, sadness, and regret that could not come out finally can come out of the throat.

"Aaaaaahh.... Uahhhhhhhh...!!!"

The boy let out all the emotions in his little heart and wished his sorrow to be conveyed to the world and his parents. With this the boy had been saved from his past, he would definitely walk forward sooner or later.

"You look like me, boy, tell me your name." Rigel.

"Leos... N, my name is Leo..." He said as he sobbed because of his crying.

"Leo, yeah..."

Rigel has decided one thing. This kid, Leo. He will be the second person to control Ciel besides Rigel. Somehow, Rigel is convinced that Leo will succeed. In this way, Rigel did not have to worry about leaving the Region during the Heavenly Emperor meeting. It only took a week from now until that day came...
