———— "Demon King".

This is a presence that often appears in various myths and legends.

A symbol of evil.

Synonymous with brutality.

A person who harms the world, endangers humanity, brings fear and disaster to many beings, and plunges the world into chaos.

Such a character is the Demon King.

And in many myths and legends, in order to defeat the demon king, the gods usually seek out heroes and give them a lot of help to save the world.

What's more, the gods summoned heroes from another world and asked him to come and defeat the demon king, which was also a kind of development as if it were conventional.

Therefore...

"Am I the unlucky one chosen?"

"It's okay if you want to think so."

This is how the above conversation has emerged.

It is the center of the unknown temple.

In the temple, there is no splendid decoration, let alone a sacred and solemn atmosphere, just a white building.

At this moment, in the temple, there are two figures.

Among them, there is a figure that stands in the center of the temple as if it were an eternal existence.

That's the goddess.

Yes, Goddess.

Because, apart from using this word to describe it, there is no other word that can be used to describe the other party.

She had long, silver-white hair that hung down down her unusually seductive back to her knees, and was still windless, swaying gently and radiating a faint glow.

Her pupils are pure blue, like a blue planet, she is wearing a holy white dress, her jade-like white feet are not worn, she just stands naked on the ground, with the impeccable body curves and graceful figure, so beautiful that it does not look like the existence of the world at all, making people feel like they are looking at the highest level of art that has been completed, full of dreams and illusions.

Such beauty, such holiness, such fantasy and illusion, can only be fully described by words like "goddess".

At least, another figure in the temple ———— float in mid-air, and that's what the disembodied ghost-like "human" thinks.

At the beginning, "he" couldn't help but look at the past.

Until, the goddess said this to "him".

"It's abrupt, but let me get straight to the point."

What theme?

To sum it up, it is...

"You're dead, but I want you to come to my world and defeat the Demon King, so I'm going to resurrect you and make you a brave man, and go to the world of swords and sorcery ———— [Omni Pottanson]."

That's it.

That's when the opening conversation comes in.

To be honest, "he" didn't quite want to believe it.

Goddess?

Beelzebub?

Brave?

The world of swords and sorcery?

"He" does not understand these words.

However, when these words turn into real events and happen to him, then "he" is really not only confused, but only confused.

"He" didn't even know how long it had taken him to accept such a setting.

It's just that one thing "he" is clear.

"I don't have any other choice, do I?"

If it is as the goddess said, then "he" should be dead, and if he does not accept the goddess's proposal, he will have to disappear like this, right?

So what choice is there left?

By the way, the reason why the word "should" is used is simply because "he" has no memory of whether he is really dead or not.

No, it should be said that "he" doesn't remember anything about himself.

Why is this so?

Very simple.

"No matter what you choose, it's something you don't need."

That's what the goddess said.

No way.

If "he" refuses the goddess's request, then the fate has already been mentioned.

If "he" decides to accept it, in order not to let the attachment of the previous life affect the new life, and in order not to let the technology and knowledge of the previous life go too deep into the other world, it is a very simple way not to keep those memories.

In view of this, "he" no longer remembers his own affairs, and his knowledge about the world he was originally in only retains the part of common sense, such as knowing the existence of the network, and also knowing the role and purpose of the network, but he does not know the principle of its existence and the conditions for its formation, etc.

This is not caused by the goddess.

"Once a person dies, it will soon disappear without leaving anything, including existence and memory, etc., and it is only because I need you that I will summon the existence of "you" itself, and then restore the memory of common sense for you, so that you will not be unable to understand the current situation and what will happen next. ”

The goddess looked at him with eyes as bright and beautiful as stars, and said this with a faint smile.

"Anyway, you are dead, the memories of your previous life have nothing to do with you, even if you choose to go to another world, I don't want the attachment of your previous life to affect your second life, and I don't want the technology and knowledge of the world where you lived in your last life to have too much impact on my world."

In other words, no matter what, the memories of the past life are impossible to come back.

"He" has no complaints.

First, since he has forgotten those memories, "he" naturally will not have any attachment.

Second, even if it is opposed, it will only be useless.

Again, "he" is dead, he should have disappeared, since people plan to resurrect "him" and give "him" a second life, a second life, then how can "he" ask for more?

To be able to survive, to be able to have a second life, a second life, is already a gift.

"He" should also be content.

"Looks like you've made your decision."

As if she could see through "his" inner thoughts, the goddess nodded casually, and stretched out her hand without a trace of flaw in the direction of "him".

"Then, in the name of God, I hereby give life to you, who are from another world."

With a solemn sound that seemed to resound throughout the temple, in mid-air, the transparent figure shone brightly.

The light was as dazzling as the sun and as bright as the stars.

Under such circumstances, an equally dazzling "sword" emerged from the body of the transparent figure.

"From now on, you'll be called Sheehan."

"Don't let me down."

"I have waited for a thousand years for the brave."

The words fell, and the "human" and "sword" suspended in mid-air disappeared into the temple in unison.

After doing all this, the goddess withdrew her hand.

However, the goddess's eyes were still staring into the air, as if she was still looking at the figure, and murmured.

"It's the first time I've seen such a strong light, so I hope he can fulfill my long-cherished wish."

Leaving such a murmur, the goddess closed her eyes and returned the temple to silence.

And the story, as a starting point, announced the beginning.
