I was loved by the sword and magic. I don’t know the reason behind that. I was praised and respected because of it. With the thousand hero candidates. I wasn’t sure why I was chosen. I held the sword and raised it from the boulder.
I won’t forget everyone's reaction at that time.
“A royal was chosen to be the hero?”
“A royalty… This is the first for the royal blood to have a hero.”
Hero? What is that? I was too young to comprehend such thoughts. But seeing everyone smile brimming with hope makes me feel very happy.
After taking the legendary sword, I was held as the hero.
But still, I wasn’t able to understand fully well what a hero should be.

Ruti forced herself to lift her glance to take a better look and saw a mysterious humanoid monster standing like a dog chewing down a big body in its jaws. The humanoid monster threw the upper part of her in her front.“Mato? Sonya…”Ruti's eyes became teary when she saw her friend getting killed in front of her. She tried to move her body. Desperate to hold them with her hands. Sonya’s head was crushed by an orc's foot. The orc made a cruel smile, looking down on Ruti.“Why is this happening?”Ruti asked herself.“Everyone I cared about died in front of my very own eyes… All the people I grew to love.

Everything, including the knowledge of people living in Nell town… My army of monsters will come forth and destroy every living life on your path!”Lana ordered the army of monsters.The serpent destroyed the monolith walls surrounding Nell town instantly. Debris from it comes flying to the small town. The residents started running out of fear and some people knelt, accepting their deaths.As human nature, rejecting the idea of being killed is natural. Other people will have to fight despite knowing the probability of them winning is close to zero. They hold their weapons in their hands. They all have grim expressions on their faces. Fighting till death is better than dying as a coward.“We’ll protect the kids and women!”&ldqu
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 123: Back stab
In the time before, Elaina battles Lana. Retto caught himself in the middle surrounded by huge numbers of dark knights. Retto was already exhausted from the never-ending battle he was currently in. After one dark knight was killed, another one spawned. Breathing heavily, Retto clenched his sword tightly. Pulling every ounce of his strength to fight back the dark knights. The dark knights all attack at the same time, swinging their swords down at Retto. Retto defensively blocked all the swords with his one sword. He overpowered the dark knight and leaped upward. As he fell, he rotated his body together with his sword, putting the knight's neck encircled around him all at the same time. Retto immediately took distance and opened a potion in his pocket. Taking out the lid with his finger, he sipped it down hastily. Recovering his lost energy and healing up a few injuries. But that wasn’t enough, because Retto’s muscles were already aching and he

Glenn’s battle with Lana didn’t take so long. After getting an opportunity to escape, he searches for Retto’s location to revive Elaina immediately. Lana didn’t chase him and turned her attention toward the destruction of Nell's town instead.“I can’t just give this item to you.”Retto responded.Glenn put a disgusting grin on his face. He looks from Retto toward Falfa.“Is that woman worth it? Do you already have Dia at your side? Why do you want to revive her? If she died here, it's her fate to die here.”Glenn said.Images of Falfa flooded Retto’s mind. The memories of Retto giving up and the girl who said many wonderful things about him. The girl that said the words he wanted to hear at the time he

“Those burning flames… Could it be? I’m sure about it. Phoenix wing was being used.” Ruti murmured as she forced herself to stand up. She has recovered some energy to stand up and walk. Still, it was far from the energy she needed to join the battle. It made her feel frustrated. Thinking about what kind of hero she is. The forest where she was not far from Nell town. In her sight, she could see the sky eventually turning red. Screams of people dying and monsters. “I’m the hero… I have to save humanity from danger… I’m the one chosen to do it.” She said and made a step. She felt unbearable pain in her chest. Bending down to the ground. She could not take the stress she was having. It flipped her stomach, resulting in her vomiting. In addition, her two reliable friends were killed in front of her eyes. “I can’t do anything… I can’t do anything…” She cries. she grasped the soil. “Pathetic seeing you in that kind of state.

Four days later.It was an unexpectedly peaceful morning. The birds come flying freely again in the sky singing their favorite melody. The great forest returned to normal. The disaster and the destruction made by the extraterrestrial was left seen widely in many people’s eyes. The countless deaths and sacrifices. People who lived and people who suffered. The pain remained in their hearts.Retto woke up in bed. He gets up and tries to move. His body still suffers injuries. Especially his belly, which has a wound that won’t close.He sat down on the bed.“The night is over.”Images flashed on Retto’s head. He gritted his teeth and punchedthe wooden wall in anger. He could not save his close friends Glenn and Elaina. The two people that give him a path when he loses his way.It was not like he regretted his decision to revive Falfa instead of Elaina.

The dragon king let him borrow the three dragons they needed to fly to Eden City. “King, is this good enough? Should we decipher more information from him? Letting him go immediately is just…” Another dragon questioned the dragon king. “It’s fine… The information he muttered was enough to make me believe. My lie-detecting sense wasn’t working on him and his words were real." The dragon king transformed into his human form. A masculine man, body flesh engraved with dark patterns resembling magical runes. Darkened skin tones and long red hair touching the ground. “... I’m going to protect our nation at all costs. As the king of the dragons.” Retto, Falfa, and Lord garnet go back to the great forest riding on the back of the dragon. Landing the dragons pulled hu
