73 Rudeus

Once upon a time, there was a man named Rudeus...

"Look, she is holding your finger. Isn't she adorable?"

…He was now witnessing a miracle of life, something that he never thought would generate such an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Rudeus could feel that his world was changing just by looking at the little girl who held his finger and smiled at him.

"Adorable." He said.

"Yes, she takes after you, after all." Rudeus's wife said in a playful tone, looking at his dumbfounded face.

Rudeus was a tough-looking man who went through a lot of perilous battles to free his world from the control of the fallen gods, abominations who were half-human and half-monster.

He was a hero, born from people's wishes, and wielded the sword of freedom and power.

At least, that was how he was depicted in the storybooks that were read to the children by their parents.

However, there was an explanation for his sudden rise, and it was more complicated than most people thought.
