Legend of the mystery hero

Slowly parting his heavy eyelids. All around me was nothing but a faintly faint light that could not have existed here. Why am I so sure? Perhaps because I'm no different from a room without a gap.

So where does this light come from?

I shook my head and thought that I was dreaming.

-About!

But where to?

Yes, I subconsciously said a sentence that I did not understand. It was then that I realized my mind was completely blank, without any memories of the past, except perhaps my name, Harukiri Kazuto. While still bewildered about my memories, a door suddenly appeared right in front of me. I slowly walked over, turned the doorknob and slowly opened it. Appearing in front of him was the scenery that was the complete opposite of the room's terrifying darkness. Clear blue skies with huge clouds right below their feet. I frantically slipped, but of course, the invisible "floor" kept me from falling down.

-Oh!

Swallow saliva, take a deep breath and stand up. From here looking down I can see towering mountains, vast forests. In the distance, there are scattered small villages, and the point that makes me particularly notice is the large citadel with massive ancient architecture.

-The beautiful scenery! Am I right?

A voice suddenly made me startled and immediately stood up, turned around.

-Who are you?

It's an old man wearing a dark blue yukata with a black border on his neck, no, calling him an "old man" doesn't seem right. In addition to his silver hair and bushy beard, he was very athletic. I wondered how old he was, but with this "unusual" physique.

- Me? I am no one? And you don't need to know what to do.

-So ... is this a dream?

-Haha! By this point, are you still asking that?

I scratched my head, laughing softly.

-What if it's not a dream ...

- I just answered here. I have something to say, kid.

-Huh?

As if guessing what I was about to ask, he interrupted me.

- I chose you to be the bearer of the destiny of this world, or to make it easier to listen, to be a hero.

Is he kidding? Did I not hear wrong?

At this moment, my head became a mess with thousands of different questions about everything from just now. I tried pinching my cheeks hard to see if this was really true, but sadly this was reality.

- Can you explain more clearly?

-Sorry, as I said, I won't answer any more. And now...

He raised his index finger in his left hand, turned to me and swirled around.

-... it's time for you to go.

-Huh? Aaaaaa !!

Suddenly I fell down, while looking up in a panic to see him waving and laughing.

Are you kidding? This is like killing people!

And then not sure when, I faded away.

-Sorry kid. But I think this is the only way.
