Chapter 2 The Legend of The Heroes

On the road back to the village the hunters kept talking about the upcoming village festival; the flame parade festival , it was one of the few festivals of the village of Liegae ,it was a festival to thank the gods for the prosperity and peace in the village, and also to reward the achievements of the villagers who showed outstanding performance through the year.

But for Miles ; it was always a sad experience for him because he have never achieved anything in the village he only watched as other boys his age were praised for their outstanding achievement , this only made him feel more inferior .

But while they were discussing , Miles couldn't help but think about all that transpired in the forest , the weird voice , the boar almost killing him and something about a system .

For some reason Miles was the only one that could see the weird screen , Miles was still wandering about it when he was called by his father.

"Miles ,Miles "; Gregin shouted trying to get Miles attention

"Yes father "?

"What were you thinking about ?"

"I was just thinking about the festival "

"Yes the flame festival ; Hmmm by any chance are you thinking of the dance of the maidens; I know that is what seems to attract you youngsters to the festival" . Saraga One of the hunters asked

" No I was just thinking about , ....well never mind. "

When the hunters got back home the boar was shared into six pieces and each hunter took one piece , of course Gregin who was their leader took the largest piece.

At home after dinner Miles went to his room but he could not sleep , he decided on talking to the voice in his head .

' Hey system are you there or are you asleep ' .

[I don't need to sleep]

' When we were in the forest you said something about boosting my stats what did that means ? ' .

[All your physical attributes have been increased after accepting the Hero system]

' Hmmm so stats are my physical attributes , hey wait a minute those that means I am ten times stronger ? ' .

[Affirmative]

[ Host had a weak constitution but after accepting the Hero title all stats a now at the level of a fit human ] .

' Seriously just a title made me this strong ; and that ability you used in the forest to kill the boar and heal me what does it do ? ' .

[The ability BLESSING OF THE CREATOR is available to view in your status screen would you like to view it ] ?

' yes ' .

suddenly a strange screen appeared out of nowhere.

' What is this , I can view it perfectly even when I close my eyes ' , Miles thought .

The village chief of Liegae Darkash was a man in is sixties he was tall and well built with a lot of scars on his body with a long scar along his face which made him look fierce.

" What are you looking for little one " .

" I came to pay you a visit " .

"Hmm this is quiet unusual , this is the first time you've came to meet me , well what do you need this old man for ", Darkish asked .

" I was just curious if you knew anything about Heroes" ,Miles asked .

" Hmm why don't you take a sit " .

Miles sat down on one of the chairs available .

" Heroes , hmm how do you even come across the name " , Darkish asked surprised that Miles even knew the word .

" Well it doesn't actually matter , you're the first person to ask me this question and even what I know was told to me by the former Chief of the village " .

" More than a thousand years ago during the Dark era , the demon race reigned supreme , they could use dark magic a dangerous type of magic , they were obsessed with war , they conquered all the kingdoms and their king The Demon king reigned over most of the world , they slaughtered many and enslaved more , When the world could no longer bear the cruelty of the demons anymore the Heroes where called upon to fight the Demon king , they were given great strength by the world to stop the Demon king ; they fought against the Demon race and the Demon king , it was a tough battle but they finally managed to seal the Demon king ;after sealing the Demon king the Heroes brought peace to all the kingdoms ,The Heroes where a symbol of peace and a sword against evil . It is the year 1068 after the great Demon war although the war was won a thousand years ago the kingdom ... , no infact the whole world can't forget that period " .

"The Heroes are they still alive ". Miles asked.

"their are no more Heroes they are all gone , Well that's all I know about the Heroes although it might not be totally accurate ".

"Thank you Great chief that is more than enough for me, I will be on my way now " , Miles bowed and left the village chief house .

' Well at least I know about the Heroes now ,But I wonder how I got the power, anyways I need to grow stronger those that means I should keep beating people up? ,no their should be another way , Hey guardian how can I level up? ' .

[Experiencing battle]

Any other way ?

[Hunting monsters]

' alright it's time to hunt ' .

Miles didn't realise but he was no longer the cowardly boy he used to be , even though the system had only been with him for a day he's character and behavior had changed .
