On the road.

Connor opens his eyes.

An immense fatigue washes over him and knocks him back out, after going in and out of consciousness for a few hours, his eyes then slowly open again. The first thing he sees is a redheaded woman looking down at him. She was one of the women that were protecting the carriage from the goblins. Her name was Alva. Connor immediately felt relieved for he had not been picked up by an ugly man, and instead it was an ara ara onee-san. He was situated on her lap and in a position that only one would describe as a lap pillow.

Connor realized that he had fainted after the exhaustion of his mana and after noticing that he was not in danger, he started to enjoy the privileges of a young woman's thighs. He got away with it for a while until Alva felt something wrong, and when she saw the perverted look on his face, kicked him away and blushed.

Connor understood that the jig was up and after orienting himself a bit, he stood up

"What is your name, my fair lady? My name is Connor."

She was quite taken aback by his attitude and hoped that they had not picked up a weirdo. And after composing herself she responded.

"My name is Alva, nice to meet you."

"Ah Alva, what a most beautiful name." Connor said with a strain on the word beautiful.

Alva was taken aback by his straightforwardness, she blushed, but quickly calmed down and continued on.

"Anyways, let me introduce you to everybody, the young lady behind you is Alice Von Eric, daughter of duke Alen Von Eric."

After listening to Alva, he looks at the girl behind him. She has blond hair and blue eyes, fair skin with a slim but nice figure, and she looked like she was in her late 10s or early 20s.

He looked at her for a moment and then spoke.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Connor, and may I ask you a question, my fair lady?."

"Sure." the woman said with a graceful nod and beautiful smile.

"What is your current age?" He said with a very serious expression.

Her face soured for a second but it changed back to normal. She did not know whether to laugh or cry at how serious he is with such a stupid question.

"Ehh, I really didn't expect this, but why not, this year I will be 20 years old."

"Ai, you're still too young, come back to me when you are seven years older."

Connor showed a face of disappointment before slowly sitting back down.

Alva smacked Connor on the head with a stern look on her face, she said.

"Be respectful to the young lady!"

Connor felt a bit wronged because he was hit just for asking a simple question.

Till then heard a voice of a woman laughing.

Connor looked around him and did not see anybody else inside the carriage.

"Hey Alva, who is laughing?" he asked with caution in his voice.

A soothing female voice replied from the driver's seat.

"Sorry, but we have a good one with us, don't we?"

"It's Lydia the armored knight that fought with us against the goblins." answered Alva

"Ah... her!!! Nice to meet you. My name is Connor, Lady Lydia."

He calmed down as he realized she was one of the knights fighting against the goblins earlier.

"By the way, you only told us your first name, what about your last name then?"

she asked curiously.

Oh yeah. They also didn't tell me their last names either, and my stats only showed Connor.

Perhaps only nobles have a last-name? Could there be a reason for this? Connor pondered for a while before answering her.

"I don't have a last-name."

"What?! with your strength, how could you only be a commoner, haven't you already accepted the title of a noble?."

"So you are saying commoners can become nobles?".

"Yes, of course. Anyone who can show a set of skills will be given a title of a noble unless they refuse."

Wow, in this world, I guess commoners are not discriminated against as much as I thought.

"wouldn't it be a hassle to be a noble though?" Connor asked.

Alice started giggling.

"Well, while nobles have to participate directly in wars and listen to the king's words, they have a certain type of prestige making everyone respect them. It is also worth mentioning that all nobles are truly rich and can do whatever they want within the kingdom. But there are also some that refuse the titles of nobles as well"

"What? Seems like a good deal to me." Connor asked, confused.

"Those two over there refused the title of a noble to be my guards," said Alice with a smile on her face.

Connor was surprised and realized how loyal Alva and Lydia are. He thought about this for a while till he remembered something important.

"Where is Mei??" he yelled with a tone of distress in his voice.

"Who?" They all asked in confusion.

"The squirrel!" Connor answered with concern.

"She is riding the horse."Lydia replied with a look of comprehension.

"Thank god!" with a sigh of relief, his relaxation set back in.

"But I have never seen such a ferocious squirrel I'm my life, is she your pet?"

"Yes and no, well...I tamed her."

"Hold up! You have a taming skill as well?" Lydia asked in surprise.

"Yes, Why are you asking?"

"In the fight against the goblins, you showed martial skills with evocation magic as well, and now you can also tame creatures?"

"So?" Connor said with a questioning face. He thought it was normal.

"Only the royal family can have three different types of skills, so that means you are a member of the royal family."

How is that possible? Is it because God gave me so many abilities? Well maybe I'm just really OP. but I really do hope that it doesn't spark some problems in the kingdom, like some people thinking that I'm an Illegitimate child of the king or something.

"But there is one exception."

"Could you explain what it is to me?"

"Well.. There are four different types of skills available to humans to learn. They are martial arts, evocation magic, restoration magic, taming skills. and every skill has a different set of skills for example evocation magic has fire magic, water magic,..."

Alice explained

"Oh, I see," he said with a look of comprehension

"Usually a normal human can only learn up to three skills and only one type of skill. For example, an evoker can't learn restoration nor martial, or taming, but he can learn up to three skills of evocation magic like fire magic, water magic, and earth magic. People who have mixed blood between commoner and royalty can learn from two different Types like restoration and evocation and also depending on the talent up to two different sets of skills between both types. royalty can also learn from three different Types and up to three different sets. a set has a maximum of three skills."

"Is there anyone who can use four or more?"

"Well there was one in the legends, they say that a hero in the past was able to use more than four sets and the royal family members are his descendants, they can only use three types because the hero's blood got diluted throughout each generation. But why are you asking?"

Alice asked while tilting her head to the side, looking at Connor.

Now that makes sense, that's why I have the title of hero seed. I wonder if they will think of me as someone more important than the king, if that is the case perhaps I can get a harem of milf maids. Thought Connor to himself with perverted looks on his face. After realizing he was talking to a woman, he quickly hid his smile. Connor then extended his hand in front of her, and his hand started shining with golden light and then black and then white.

"I can use more than four, does that make me a hero??"

As Alice saw that her face went pale and while her eyes rolled to the back of her head, she had fainted.

"My lady??" Connor and Alva both shouted at the same time

They then proceeded to start shaking Alice in an effort to wake her up.

"What is happening back there?" Lydia asked with concern.

"Lydia, stop the carriage!" Alva shouted with distress.

After a few minutes, Alice woke up.

"Are you okay my Lady?" the two women said in sync.

"Yeah, I just had a dream that we found a hero and ..."

Before she could finish her sentence she saw Connor in front of her.

"Are you okay little girl, you scared the shit out of us."

"It.. it wasn't a dream."

Connor replied with a dashing smile

"I'm not a dream, I am as real as can be, so why did you faint?"

"I... I would have never thought that I would live to see a hero with my own two eyes. Since I was a kid I admired the first hero and read his stories, my father was always praying for the return of the hero, so for me to meet the second hero is the greatest honor!"

"Why would your father pray for the return of the hero?"

"I don't know, he didn't tell me why exactly, but I know that not only my father was praying but all of the royal family, even the other kingdoms were praying for it."

"So you are saying that the kingdom needs a hero?"

"I don't know if that is the case or not, it may as well be just worship."

"Has anything strange happened lately?"

"Some say that earthquakes have been happening more frequently in the last few years!"

"That is probably the reason, they fear the unknown so they call for the help of legends and myths. I just hope it's not some demon lord rampaging." Said Connor with a tired and bored face.

"Why would he do that? Demons are nice people." Alice replied with a puzzled face.

"The what are what." Connor's face is full of excitement.

I love plot twists like that, now demon milf confirmed to be possible. I wonder how many races there are in this world.

"How many races are there??." Connor asked as he got his face closer to Alice.

Alice backed off a little with a faint blush on her face before answering.

"The four major races are Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, and Demons. There are a bunch of other exotic races that you can rarely see and from them, I only know of true dragons, halflings, fairies, and beast people. There are also half breeds like half-demons and half-elves that can be between any two races but humans are more likely to seek marriage with other races." Connor was listening to Alice's explanation with great interest.

"Why do humans seek marriage from other races." Connor asked as if he was a student.

As she heard Connor question her facial expression changed into disappointment.

"They just like it, and for that humans have been dubbed the second horniest race in the world, just imagine opening a book and it starts with - the humans the second horniest race only after the Cubus race…" Alice kept talking and her expression just kept getting darker and darker.

As Connor saw her like that he told her to stop.

"That's enough, but what about those Cubus people?" As he asked that you can see Alva giving Connor a weird look from behind Alice.

"They are a subrace of the demon race."

Connor thought, Cubus and a subrace of demons, probably they are…

"Do you know how their males and females are called?" Connor asked to confirm his thought.

"Males Incubus, females Succubus."

Connor clapped his hand with joy.

"Guessed it, damn I'm too smart." Alice now is also giving Connor a weird look.

"Well, what will you do now?" Alice asked him.

"I want to see the demon kingdom and try to find a nice milf."

As Alva was looking at Connor with a disappointed face, Alice felt a fear inside her, the fear of losing the hero to another kingdom, no it was the fear of losing the hero to a woman other than herself.

As she felt that she knelt before Connor with tears on her face.

"Would you please allow me to be by your side and serve you for the rest of my life." Alice is determined to never let the hero slip through her hands.

As Alva and Lydia saw this they knelt behind her and pleaded to him to accept her request.

Connor was standing there shocked with a confused look on his face and asked her to repeat what he said.

"The Von Eric family pledges its loyalty to the hero Connor, Will you accept me, Alice Von Eric as your first servant."

"Why are you doing this, and could you even decide that for your entire family?"

"The purpose of the royal family and the nobles is to serve the hero, my father will do the same as me, so would you please accept my humble request."

Connor was thinking this woman is dead serious about this, and after thinking about it for a moment.

"Yes, I accept your request."

"Thank you for answering our prayer."

He hears the voice of appraisal giving him a notification,{Social stats changed from a commoner to the master of the Von Eric family, now you can order the member of said family that pledged loyalty to you, and have an edge when talking with the other members}

"Hey Alice do you know that you have the title of the hero's holy maiden"

As Alice heard his word her face turned red and she started crying with a smile.

"You okay."

Probably I shouldn't talk about the hero fanatic.

"I never expected to be given this honor, I shall serve you until the end of time."

"Okay."

He gave a look of confusion for a second thinking about what she just said, but then immediately brushed it off as he still had to check the other two. He gestures the two women over and starts to check their stats.

"Connor-sama let get into the carriage and head to the city."

They got into the carriage and started driving, The domain or Lord Alen is still a fair distance away, so it will take about a week to arrive. Alva and Lydia kept taking turns driving the carriage, sometimes teaching Connor how to handle a horse.

When it was almost nighttime on the first day, Connor and Alva went into the forest to gather some firewood to cook soup with the rations they brought with them. Connor was a bit sad because the rations only covered three people max with little to spare, so the other girls had to pitch in and give him food.

Alice was happy about it saying that it was just giving an offering to a god and insisted on giving her full share to him.

When night finally fell, Lydia took her helmet off to prepare for bed, awaiting this moment for a long time, Connor was extremely excited to see her face.

She had black hair tied into braids, she had freckles on her nose and under her brown eyes.

Connor didn't hesitate to ask her.

"Can you be my wife?"

"No!" She replied on the spot, as He heard her Connor wear a sad face.

"I can't marry you for life since I have my duty as Lady Alice guard, But I don't mind spending a single night with you if you beat me in a fistfight, you are the hero after all so saying the hero was my first time isn't that bad!" Connor's eyes opened wide, I can get a virgin milf, for real!!!

"You bet!!!" Connor said with a smile full of confidence.

"Then if you lose I will have been Alice's training partner since both me and Alva are rough and can't teach her how to fight without hurting her."

"What do you mean? I don't fully understand but I accept." Connor said with a face full of confidence

The guardian shifts on that night were Lydia, Connor, and last Alva in that order. Connor sleeps next to the campfire where Lydia is guarding, and Alva will be sleeping with Alice inside the carriage.

After Connor fell asleep, Alva came out of the carriage to speak with Lydia.

"Well, do you think he is the one?" Alva asked Lydia who was sitting by the fire.

"He certainly has potential, but as he is now he is still far too inexperienced." Said Lydia with a sad face.

"In the case of the slim chance that he won, will you actually do it with him?" Said Alva with a grin on her face.

"I want a man who is stronger than me, that's why if he manages to beat me I will be the one asking him to do it even without the bet." She was saying this with a large smile as she thought about having a chance to lose her virginity after such a long time, and with the hero nonetheless. She thought to herself that it was worth the wait.

"Well, you keep your search for a man stronger than you, as for me, I'm content with having just lady Alice." Said Alva with a perverted smile on her face.

"You! don't you dare lay your hands on Lady Alice. You know she isn't into that." Lydia shot an angry look at Alva.

"Don't give me that look, I won't do anything. I learned my lesson from when I tried it with you. Right now I'm content with just being close to her."

After speaking for a bit longer, Lydia gave Alve a faint smile and told her to go to sleep.

When it was time to change shifts, Lydia woke Connor up for his shift. She then warned him that if he tries anything with them while they are sleeping that their bet would not count anymore and she would beat him to death if he tried to do anything funny. He replied saying that he won't and proudly said that he is a gentleman, but Lydia joked with him saying that she preferred a rougher man which left him confused.

After his shift ended, Connor went to the carriage to wake Alva up for her shift.

When he opened the door, he saw Alva barely in her underwear with Alice hugging her with only a nightgown. As he looked closely, it was clear that Alice was the one who crawled into Alva's bed. He also noticed that Alva's hand was still on her rapier.

Connor remembered Lydia's words and quickly put his hand on his eyes; he then tried to wake Alva up by poking her.

But as his hand got close to Alva's body, she moved instinctively and in a swift movement, she dropped Connor to the floor and tied his hand behind his back with her legs while also stabbing his shoulder with her rapier. Connor didn't have even a chance to react. And as he screamed, Alva woke up and as she realized what happened she moved from atop Connor and started apologizing.

The racket woke both Lydia and Alice as well.

When Alice opened her eyes she saw Connor's crying face directly in front of her face, his shoulder bleeding, and the half-naked Alva apologizing for what happened.

Alice started healing Connor directly while he was sobbing.

When Lydia opened the door and saw this mess, she facepalmed and said one line.

"Didn't I tell you to not do anything funny??"

After they healed him Lydia explained to him that she and Alva have been trained to be able to react even while they are asleep, therefore surprise attacks are nothing to them. After this commotion, everybody calmed down until the morning came.

The next morning,

Connor was preparing for his fight with Lydia by doing some warm-up exercises.

Yesterday he was very confident, but after the incident with Alva, he started to feel nervous.

The reaction speed and agility that Alva showed, certainly outclassed his.

And if Lydia was at the same level as her he might be in for some big trouble.

He started thinking.

The match is going to be a best-of-five.

They will be hand-to-hand battles, so I can't use offensive magic, which means I can't deal damage at range.

I'm stuck with close-quarter combat.

I can use enchantment magic as since it's a support type, I can also use my martial arts skills.

The only saving grace that I have is that Lydia won't wear her armor or use her weapons or shield.

She doesn't have any hand-to-hand combat skills. So I probably have an advantage with the martial arts battle.

"What do you think, Mei?" Connor asked Mei who was sitting on his head.

"Squeak, squeak!"

"You're right, nothing will come from thinking about it!"

A few minutes later.

They were about to start the fight.

"Are you prepared?" Lydia asked Connor.

"Yes, I will not lose to you!!"

Alice was watching while Alva was refereeing for them.

"Connor-sama do your best!!" Alice started cheering for Connor.

"Why are you cheering for me, shouldn't you be cheering for your guard?!" he said feeling wronged.

"Connor-sama I'm sorry but you're the one who needs good luck in this match." Said Alice with a smile.

Connor's worry just increased.

"Now we are going to start the match, are you ready?" Said Alva who was the referee.

They both nodded.

"3,2,1 START!!" Alva shouted.

As the match began, Connor casted enchantment magic on himself and used his martial arts skill to jump straight at Lydia.

The next moment Connor was lying on the ground. Lydia's punch was so fast so by the time he reacted, it was already too late.

"The first round goes to Lydia!" Alva shouted.

Alice giggled in the background.

Connor sat on the ground confused.

"Come on didn't you want to spend a night with me, show me your strength then!!" Said Lydia With a smile as she was looking directly into Connor's face.

What I saw was nothing. Damn it, she is such a monster! Didn't the appraisal skill show that she didn't have any martial skills.

Connor stood up.

"The second round, START!!" Alva shouted again.

Connor rushes directly at Lydia, I will pretend to be going to the left but instead change my direction to the right and try to deliver a kick into her left leg.

He tried that, but as he tried to change the direction of his leg, he saw Lydia's hand in front of his face.

And with a crushing sound, Lydia Slapped him to the ground again.

"You are far too inexperienced, and your reactions are slow. Don't rely only on your skills, use your head!!!" Lydia shouted at Connor who was on the ground.

"The second round goes to Lydia as well!!" Alva shouted.

"Don't worry about it Connor-sama, you're facing Lydia after all."

"You're saying use your head, Fine I will use it so don't complain later." Connor was starting to get embarrassed.

As long as I won't use magic offensively It won't count as cheating, then I will be using it as buffs and debuffs.

"The third round START!!" Alva shouted.

This time Connor didn't rush in. Instead, he started activating his magic.

[Magic control] this will help me control my magic.

[Earth Magic],[Water Magic] using this to turn the ground around Lydia into muds.

"What?!" Lydia was surprised, as her feet started to sink.

[Enchantment Magic],[Martial Arts],[Air Magic] Connor then jumped at Lydia while using air magic to propel himself forward.

"Not so fast!!" Lydia extended her arm to catch the charging Connor.

[Light Magic: Flash] As Connor casted this magic a flash of light appeared in front of Lydia blinding her.

"What now!?" Lydia shouted.

[Air magic] Connor used this to change his direction, and then…

[Dark Magic: Darkness] [Sound Magic: Silence] As he cast these two a sphere of darkness engulfed Lydia as an area of silence overlapped the sphere.

With this, she can neither see nor hear and with the mud, she can't move.

Now for the final touch, [Earth magic: earth pillar] four earth pillars appeared around Lydia. Connor jumped to get on top of one of them but before he landed he cast [Fire Magic: Burst] at the top of three of the pillars while he landed on the fourth, the explosions happened at the same time he landed. Even if you are a monster who can sense vibration on the ground now you won't know which one I will be coming from. [Fire Magic: Burst] he did the same thing when he jumped at where Lydia is.

Connor entered the sphere of darkness and delivered a hard punch, it was a hit.

Lydia exhaled in pain as the hit landed on her side.

I got her, Connor thought to himself but soon that thought disappeared as Lydia caught his head with both her hands.

Ahh, Shit, of course, she won't down in one hit, as he thought of that Lydia gave him a hard headbutt to the face.

"The match is over." Said Alva as she rushed to them with Alice.

Alice started healing them.

"He actually managed to land a hit on you!!" Said Alva talking to Lydia.

"Your right didn't expect him to be that versatile with his magic!" said Lydia.

"As expected from the hero, Connor-sama is amazing!!" Said Alice with a happy face.

A few minutes later Connor and Lydia were fully healed up.
