Reincarnated Hero System

The world of Aidos had three continents;

The Alpha Continent, The Beta continent, and the Dark Continent.

The Alpha and Beta continents were parallel to each other, separated by a small ocean called the Divider Ocean.

Perpendicular to them, was the Dark Continent.

The Dark Continent was currently uninhabitable. This was because it was the zone of the battle between the seven heroes of a thousand years ago along with their armies, against the invaders from another world.

A dimensional rift was opened there and the demons came pouring out into the world of Aidos.

The world's defence mechanism prevented stronger demons from coming out immediately, however, over time the rift became larger and the repulsive force of the world weakened.

High-ranked demons began trooping out and close to the end of the invasion, Peak ranked demons arrived.

Among these peak-ranked demons, some of the strongest were the seven deadly sins.

Seven Demons with the names and powers of the Seven Mortal sins, and they were considered strong even among the peak rank demons.

Although most records of the invasion were erased, the lore of the seven strongest invaders still stands today.

'They were demons at level 777, there's no way to erase all records of their appearance. The havoc they caused was just too much.'

The seven deadly sins were strong enough to sink some of the numerous islands that existed between the Dark continent and the other two continents.

However, they were defeated and sealed away in the end. Though the records say the seven Heroes were the ones responsible, exactly how they were sealed was not mentioned.

'I thought it was because the seven heroes were that strong, but to think 'that' was what happened...'

In the game, when the seven deadly sins appeared, they harboured hatred for both mankind and demon kind. But after receiving the memories of the previous Second of the seven Heroes, Evan finally knew the reason why.

'They were betrayed by the demons and sealed by the humans, it's only natural they'd hate both sides.'

The Seven deadly sins were sealed away in various weapons, the weapons that originally belonged to the demons themselves, however, the world knew that they were sealed with the weapons of the seven heroes.

As for the location of these weapons, they were unknown.

Pride was sealed in a One-handed Sword,

Greed in a Great sword,

Gluttony in a Magic Staff,

Lust in a War Fan,

Wrath in a two-handed sword,

Sloth in a shield, and

Envy in a spear.

The last floor of the 'Graveyard of the Arrogant' was where the sword of Pride was kept.

It was the reason for the 'Arrogance' status effect all those who entered the dungeon received.

'Normally it'd take years to get to that floor, but I have a way I can get there quickly.'

It was a trap door on the Fourth floor.

In the game, Evan was the first to discover the existence of a trap door on the fourth floor that led to the last floor of the dungeon and pitted one against a level 350 monster.

By defeating the monster, one could gain access to the room where pride was sealed.

This trap also allowed one to evade the real dungeon boss, the Level 500 Troll Emperor.

'No way Ralphie can defeat that, but a level 350 Troll King should be enough for him to handle.'

Evan's plan was to lead them through this trap door and make Ralphie fight the Troll King.

'The troll king had a last stand attack where he renders the one who deals the last blow unconscious. If their health was below a certain level, they'd die from the attack.'

If he got Ralphie to deal the last blow, he would be rendered unconscious and would not see Evan take the sword of pride.

'It's good that Pride still maintained their reasoning to the very end and was not consumed by rage like the others, that means it is possible to negotiate with Pride and form a contract.'

In the game, the player could not take the sword because they were supposed to be a 'hero'. And Heroes most definitely did not wield demon swords.

'However, I'm not restricted by the game's bullshit now.'

Evan had decided not to be a hero like the ones in the fantasy novels he read in his previous world, he was going to be different.

He was going to use any means to achieve his goals even if it meant the deaths of many. After all, even the god in charge of this world didn't care much about the survival of all of mankind, just the minimum required to repopulate the world.

'According to the system's information, it's fine even if 60% of the population dies out.'

To Evan, the denizens of this world were strangers, even the parents of his current body were people he never knew existed until a few hours ago. He had no reason to care about the survival of anyone besides the seven heroes.

Some may call him cruel but Evan was just prioritizing his goals.

Although he may change his mind in the future, for now, besides the seven heroes and the other major figures who would be important to repel the demon armies, he would not give a shit about others.

◇ ◇ ◇

After successfully convincing the emperor to let them go to the 'Graveyard of the Arrogant' in a few months' time, Evan and his father saw the Imperial family off before he returned to his room.

He took a bath and slept immediately, he was tired from the day's activities, after all.

Listing out the things that Evan did, the one that drained him of his energy, both mental and physical was none other than his feat of replicating one of the previous hero's techniques.

It was a technique used by an expert swordsman who had practiced the sword for decades, one who was motivated by his love for swordsmanship, not someone like Evan who only took Kendo lessons because his dad sent him to a high school that forced him to.

Using said technique was bound to have repercussions, the kind that left him bedridden for the next two days.

On the third morning, he finally recovered and was able to leave his bed, the classes that the original 'Evan' usually had been cancelled by the duke who told him to rest before his training with Finley would begin. within the next week.

He sat on his bed after sending out Rei along with the other maids and checked out the features of the system he had not checked out yet.

He looked at his stat and skill descriptions one by one and understood what each one meant.

'So, existence level is different from level huh?'

Existence Level represented one's realm of existence and it was different from the normal level. It was possible to defeat someone with a higher level if one's Existence Level was higher.

He also discovered that he could see the current figures of one's stats like Health and Energy if he wished to do so.

'It's practically an HP and MP bar. Full Appraisal is quite useful.'

His weapon control skill allowed him to use any and every weapon to its full potential, as for magic control, that enabled him to cast stronger magic with lesser energy used.

'That's why Laurene's magic was strong yesterday.'

His concealment allowed him to conceal parts of his status from others who wished to appraise him and Language Comprehension allowed him to understand how to read and write any language.

He was going to be interacting with people from other countries and continents so it was quite useful to him in case he met someone who could not speak the common language. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
