I Wish to Pursue the Goddess, but The World Begs to be Saved
Urapus was the First Hero.
A being hailed as the Strongest Human. The Hope of Mankind.
Yet, like any other Hero, he was killed.
He was killed by the dissatisfaction of the public and the elites that were threatened by his ever-growing power and influence. He was detained to public execution, erasing any of his valor and glory.
He wanted to be selfish, he wanted to resist, to remain indifferent, and to treat everything he did as inconsequential.
He wanted to break the shackles that bound him to his execution and destroy everything.
But he felt unbearably tired. He was exhausted. Bearing the weight of the world on his own from the fire of extinction, and was pushed by that world itself.
In the end, he found no meaning to execute what he sought, and considered his death as a method to rest.
And when he was battered and found nothing to hold on to life, in his death, she appeared. A Goddess in human flesh.
She didn't wish for anything out of him, the Hero. She just wanted him to live. To be happy.
She offered him a chance to live again, for his karma is bright golden, like a pillar of heaven.
But Urapus wished to die.
Yet, against all odds, the heavenly woman gives him a reason to live. It was just a simple banter from her, jesting about being proposed by him should he reach her height of power in his next life.
His heart beats fast. It beats by her voice. And a surging fire was ignited. Like a dying flame that was rekindled by the surging waves of wind.
Urapus reasoned with countless reasons to die, but his rekindled heart offered him countless reasons to live.
"Propose to you, huh?"
Gazing at her otherworldly visage, his heart beats again. The Former Hero felt alive. He felt the rekindled need to wish for life again.
And with a smile, he accepted her proposal. Just to live again, how hard could it be?
Yet...
[The Hero System has been activated.]
He was reborn in the future when his comrades redeemed mankind by acknowledging everything he did. But he wished it was as simple as that.
He should be grateful to receive assistance for his growth towards a certain height of power to propose the Heavenly Woman. But something's off...
[A transmigrator having a blessing of 10 times talents by binding geniuses. Unfortunately, he has severe Main Character Syndrome. Please take care of him!]
[A Sovereign expert was brought back after she died in the future. As the Hero, please ensure her growth and help her awaken her blessing!]
[A villainous woman transmigrated into the future with an Evolution System. Her intentions remain unknown. As the Hero, please observe her should she turn violent.]
[The Blue Earth was threatened by an extraterrestrial force, and was incapable of resisting its immense force. As the Hero, please!!! Protect me!!!]
Urapus had a headache as the world screamed out like a damsel in distress.
Aren't you supposed to be a billions of years old world?
And what's up with these transmigrators and regressors? Aren't they supposed to be rare? The more Urapus think about it, the more erratic it becomes.
And I was supposed to be the 'Hero' in such a chaotic world... Why not make them the heroes then?
[None of them are like Urapus!]
"Goddamn it!"
