577.
Carl swallowed his dry saliva at Lian’s words.
The first time I saw a being called God, the feeling I had was that it was extremely ordinary, contrary to what I thought.
If it weren’t for the Dragon Lord’s assurance, I wouldn’t have believed anything that came out of Lian’s mouth, let alone his identity.
But now, I felt a presence in front of me that was beyond my imagination.
‘Breath… … .’
Just looking at it made me feel suffocated and having trouble breathing.
Ryan didn’t do anything in particular.
I’m just looking at myself as if observing myself.
However, that alone had the power to freeze the entire body.
I realized that the being in front of me was on a different level from the races I had encountered so far.
I was literally overwhelmed by its mere presence.
‘This feeling… … I’ve felt it before.’
Carl, who was shaking, caught his breath and quickly regained his composure.
Lian’s eyes lit up as she saw that.
“This must be your first time meeting God face-to-face like this. Are you able to regain your composure quickly?”
Strictly speaking, Lian could not be called a god because he became part of Hero Records a long time ago to become its manager.
However, there is no change that it is a being comparable to God.
Ordinary humans lose their composure when Rian even reveals his presence.
And Carl was a human being who easily fell into the category of ordinary.
‘If the kids were big-hearted, they wouldn’t have been agitated in the first place.’
In the eyes of the Absolute, the sword is nothing more than a stone scattered on the side of the road.
Carl scratched his cheek in response to Lian’s question.
“It’s similar to the feeling I had when I saw Erebos.”
“iced coffee. “You mean that hideous thing?”
Lian nodded.
“Surely when the hero came to this world through the Hero Record, you also encountered that monster, right? “Then this wouldn’t be my first encounter with a divine being.”
“Is the flame of disaster also a god?”
“In essence, they are just like us. Of course, what we pursue is different. “If we want the world to survive, that monster wants its destruction.”
“Why is that? “Isn’t it like we were colleagues from the beginning or something?”
“Not at all. That’s how that monstrosity was born. “It only exists to burn the world to ashes.”
Lian shook her head as if she remembered something disgusting.
‘Even if you’ve seen Erebos, it seems like it’s this child’s ability to quickly regain his composure.’
The more I looked, the more interesting it became.
It stands out in a subject that has nothing.
‘I guess I was lucky. But what Carl Thomas achieved is not something that can be achieved simply by luck.’
“But you said I have two things that Lumeren doesn’t have. What are those?”
There was a look of anticipation on Karl’s face.
“Do I have some kind of hidden talent?”
Lian, who was looking at Karl who asked in a slightly excited voice, smiled brightly.
“Ugliness and foolishness”
“yes?”
For a moment, Karl looked dumbfounded.
“Lumern was not foolish, so he did not do the ugly thing of clinging to the impossible.”
Lian gave a thumbs up towards Carl.
“Carl Thomas! You are so desperately foolish that you cling to the impossible! So it looks very ugly!”
dump-!
Carl knelt down with his hands on the floor.
“Put out your chest proudly! “Because you are doing something that Rumern could never do.”
“Don’t make fun of me. “Because it makes me depressed.”
“What! That’s a compliment! compliment!”
Lian slapped Carl on the back.
“Why are you depressed when God praises you?”
“Of course I’m depressed! “Someone like God spoke so convincingly that I thought he had some hidden talent that I didn’t know about!”
“I told you clearly earlier. “You are a student who does not resemble Rumern in the slightest.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means it’s not heroic at all.”
Lian shrugged and took out a sculptural doll made of jewels from her arms.
It was a fragment of Rumern, the Twilight Knight.
“Although Rumern was born as a slave, he was born with a very noble soul.”
Rian said as he looked around at the pieces of Rumern.
“The heroes loved most by the gods are by far the great heroes. But the hero I love next is Rumern.”
“It seems like you were born with great talent because you were loved by God.”
“There is nonsense in that statement.”
Lian glanced at Karl.
“There are definitely beings loved by the gods. But that doesn’t mean God gives that being any special talent. “That goes far beyond the authority granted to God in the first place.”
“yes?”
“Humans who are loved by God have achieved that love themselves. “Remember that, Carl Thomas.”

Lian, who was smiling, shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, even gods have tastes.”
“What are your tastes?”
“A hero like Rumern.”
“… … .”
“He is very talented, has a good personality, is good-looking, strong, can achieve great feats, and is very popular with women. And again… … .”
“Would you please stop because life feels more and more unfair?”
Carl burst into laughter.
“Lumerne really has no resemblance to me at all. I can see why he is loved by the gods. “The gods like perfect people.”
“No one is perfect. “There are only people with few flaws.”
Lian shrugged his shoulders.
“That’s why there hasn’t been a hero like you in 5,000 years, Carl.”
“I know best that I won’t be a hero.”
“But why don’t you give up?”
“Because it’s ugly and stupid.”
“… … .”
“If we set our goals high, shouldn’t we be able to get even a little closer to those guys?”
“You will soon hit your limit.”
“We have to get over it. “Like Rumern.”
“… … .”
“I definitely learned from Lumern that even if I don’t know anything else, I should be similar in that respect.”
“Carl Thomas! Where are you?”
“Eh? Eliza?”
Carl, who had turned his head at the sound of Eliza calling, turned his head in confusion.
“God, I think I should just go now. huh?”
Carl turned his head again, realized that Lian was gone, looked around the bathroom, and then scratched his head.
“Are you gone?”
“Carl Thomas!”
“Are you cleaning people in the bathroom?”
Carl sighed at the sound of Eliza’s voice and left the bathroom.
Rian suddenly reappeared and shook his head.
‘That’s really unheroic.’
In the 5,000-year long era of heroes, which is by no means short, there has never been a person like Karl listed on the hero record.
This is not simply because it does not suit the tastes of the gods.
‘Because you can’t accomplish a feat alone.’
In the end, the person who achieves the feat is a being of great power.
A hero who protects and leads the world ultimately has no choice but to excel in personal power.
‘Ordinary, Carl Thomas is so ordinary.’
The gods do not care about ordinary humans.
I just liked special people.
The same goes for Ryan.
but… … .
‘You will never resemble Rumerne, Carl Thomas.’
Lian looked at the piece of Rumern jewel she had made.
‘I gave up on Lumern because it was stupidly ugly.’
I closed myself off from my own possibilities.
Lian grinned.
‘Instead, it resembles the hero of the beginning.’
Of course, it makes no sense to compare Leo, who has the pure mana trait, with Karl.
‘But Leo saved the world because he struggled foolishly and ugly.’
Lian took the uncarved gem out of her arms and played with it.
‘Carl Thomas is not a hero at all. But that’s just the standard of God’s era.’
Even now, fragments of the Age of God remain.
‘But the Age of God already ended 5,000 years ago.’
Lian laughed.
‘That too ended as a failed era.’
By the standards of the gods, the era of the gods was clearly a failed era.
It is true that he suppressed Erebos for a long time and created a world full of light.
But in the end, they could not stop Erebos.
Rather, it burned down and disappeared so helplessly.
In the midst of that failure, singularities called great heroes emerged and saved the world.
And a new era has arrived.
but… … .
‘Is the Age of Heroes really the Age of Heroes?’
Although the gods have disappeared, the legacy of the gods called Hero Records sustains this era.
‘Maybe I’m a very lucky person.’
He abandoned his status as a god and became a mere part of the system.
but… … .
‘We may be seeing the true beginning of a new era right in front of us.’
Lian’s mouth was caught in his ear.
How thrilling and exciting is this?
‘Ah, my choice was not wrong! A time when God is truly worthless… … You might be able to see it right before your eyes!’
***
Second grade students participated in the second round of the Festival of Heroes.
It was a competition to see who among the ten people from each school could conquer the world of heroes faster.
The audience was excited by the scale, which was different from that of the first graders.
Moreover, the current second graders are a generation called the golden generation in all schools.
As such, expectations were bound to be even higher.
“I can’t believe I can see myself conquering the world of heroes!”
“But it’s not a hero dungeon, right? “Then it’s not dangerous, is it?”
“Know something and talk about it! Hero Dungeon is just an explosion of hero records! “The hero dungeon is ultimately the world of heroes!”
“Let’s see… … “Leo Plov isn’t playing in Lumern, right?”
“Isn’t it because I’ve already reached the status of a hero?”
“But look! Runia El Lundua participated in Seirun!”
“Uhm… … Is it because you’re busy as the student council president? no. Runia El Lund’a is also the student council president?”
Seeing that Leo was not participating, questioning voices came from all over the place.
Runia, who was watching this, muttered.
“But I still have a conscience. “If you look at the fact that we left out Leo.”
To be honest, if Leo competed, the result would be obvious.
Although I felt resentful, it was difficult for Seirun to handle Leo right now.
‘Not only Seilun, but any school would not be able to handle it.’
Runia sighed softly.
“Still, I’m glad we’re conquering the world of heroes.”
“This isn’t easy, so what’s so good about it?”
As Eiran spoke from the side, Aristoina asked curiously.
“When I saw the first years, I was worried that they might be fighting with Colonel Leo.”
At those words, Aris’s twin, Garin Teina, made a puzzled expression.
“Is it a big problem?”
“Did you forget that Leo Plov wiped out all the second years of Rumern? “It’s better to conquer the hero’s world than to fight a monster with no quotation marks.”
It was when Garin crossed his arms and nodded at Aris’ words.
“I heard it clearly and it is true.”
“By the way, Carl Thomas? Is this the kid who invaded Dweno’s world? “I heard that your grades themselves weren’t that great, but you were selected as a representative?”
Runia said as Aris looked puzzled.
“He deserves to be chosen.”
“That’s right, if you are Kal, the people of Rumeren will also feel reassured.”
It was when the Seilun students looked puzzled at the reaction of the head and deputy head.
Ugh-!
Suddenly a resonating sound arose from the floor.
[Hero Record Open.]
The Seilun second-year students looked slightly embarrassed at the message that suddenly appeared.
But I soon regained my composure.
“We are used to unexpected situations like this now.”
Runia laughed as if it was ridiculous.
It wasn’t just Seilun Academy.
Similar reactions erupted from other schools.
At that moment, Eiran’s ears perked up.
“Didn’t you say that you would attack the ‘same’ hero’s world in order?”
“huh.”
“But it looks like the hero record message also appeared to students at other schools?”
“what?”
The moment Eiran, whose hearing entered the realm of extrasensory perception, made a puzzled expression.
[Three of Lumern. ■Chapter: ■■■■■]
“What?!”
Runia looked shocked at the message in front of her.
At the same time, a bright light burst out and engulfed the students at the Erek parade ground.
“Ugh?!”
It was when Runia opened her eyes to the multi-level.
I saw a fist flying in front of me.
“Kwaaaah?!”
Runia reflexively dodged the punch.
“Kwak? Kyaak? How can this be so disgusting and cute? “You sneaky elf!”
“profit!”
Runia calmly assessed the situation after hearing the words of the person who was swinging her fist.
‘I don’t know the situation, but for now, we’re fighting! Counterattack… … !’
The moment when Runia takes advantage of the opponent’s gap.
“uh?”
Runia looked at the other person’s face and let out a blank sound.
“Where are you getting bruised? side!”
“100 million?!”
The opponent mercilessly struck Runia’s side.
“finish! pit of the stomach!”
Sigh-!
“What?!”
Runia, who was hit in the solar plexus, let out a gasping sound and then fell to her knees.
“uh? “Does this fit?”
And the person who hit Runia was even more embarrassed after hitting him himself.
Runia, who was out of breath and clutching her chest, called out to the other person.
“Rody… ah… you… … .”
Slurp-
Then I closed my eyes and fainted.
“hey! Take a breath! breath! “Breathe!”
Slap-slap-slap-!
Rodia was shocked and slapped Runia.
“Seyrun! “Breathe!”
