Episode 32

12. Heir of Triston (3)

The Forgotten Hero’s Rest was our second visit.

I looked at Aidan, who was staring straight ahead. Perhaps you are receiving a revelation from Triston.

If I had been in that position, the feeling would have been new, but from the standpoint of a thorough bystander, there is no way I can feel such emotions.

‘By the way, I still can’t hear my voice.’

The voice I heard for the first time has not been heard since I entered this place, on the way to the sanctuary of the forgotten hero.

Even now, it is clear that Aidan is still listening to Triston’s voice.

As expected, it must have been a temporary phenomenon.

‘But now what? Originally, I didn’t plan to be involved in the main scenario often, but now that this has happened, I can’t just watch it.’

After seeing the Golem situation today, I became more certain.

Without me, Aidan would not have reached the sanctuary of the forgotten hero.

Anyway, like it or not, I have to get rid of bugs and complete the story of the game.

Therefore, it was a situation that could never be helped as much as a fatal bug occurred in the main scenario.

‘Things are so twisted.’

Thanks to this, my plan to focus on self-development without paying attention to the main scenario during the first semester went awry.

As time goes on, the level of the enemy will increase. He couldn’t stand it forever with the equipment he was wearing now.

‘The items that can be obtained right now are limited. The more dungeons you can enter through the reward room, the lower the probability of getting good rewards… … .’

In the end, what emerged as the next best thing was to choose Arin as a minor.

In fact, the Arrin Faculty has few advantages over the Arthur and Ortana Faculties.

It doesn’t raise physical abilities as dramatically as Arthur’s, nor does it make him able to use magic as powerful as Ortana.

However, there is only one reason why players go to Arin University even after giving up all those advantages.

It was an amazing ability correction.

The Arin Faculty deals with bows, crossbows, and miscellaneous throwing weapons.

For this reason, Accuracy and Insight are the main competences of the Arrin Faculty.

It can be seen as a feeling of accurately hitting weak points and providing an irreversible critical hit with a single shot.

Therefore, the status correction value is much higher than that of other faculties.

In the case of Arin Faculty, even with the same stats, the amount of damage it takes is quite different.

Thanks to these characteristics, the Arin Faculty was perfect for players seeking extreme efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

It is not for nothing that various sites have been called the Jukchang Faculty.

‘It’s still the first semester of my freshman year, so it’s difficult to double major. It’s stable since 2nd year, but… … I don’t think it would be too much of a problem if I keep Arthur’s department as an intermediate class and choose Arin’s department as my minor for next semester.’

I quickly shook my head and thought about my plans for the future.

My goal is not to clear the game. It’s about fixing bugs and surviving the disaster that lies ahead.

The best thing to do was to not get involved in the main scenario at all, but… … . If Aidan gets caught up in a bug like this and gets a game over, it’s the end of the game.

what about this??

As I shook my head, I immediately came up with a brilliant idea.

‘If a bug in the main scenario is a problem, why not go ahead and deal with it?’

Come to think of it, I entered the Forgotten Hero’s Rest first.

If you didn’t go back at that time and went back to the place where the guardian golem was sleeping, you would have been able to check the bug on the guardian golem in advance.

‘Wow, I must be a genius.’

If you do this, there is no need to follow Aidan all the time.

As I was admiring myself for the amazing solution, I raised my head when I heard a voice calling me.

“Hey, Sanwoo Baek. Could you come over for a moment?”

Aidan was seen emitting a bright brilliance in front of him. It seems that the Triston Revelation event has been successfully completed.

Now it was my turn to perform a great performance according to the scenario I had planned in advance.

I approached him slowly, knelt down and said.

“Herobringer meets Triston’s successor. Speak.”

* * *

Aidan saw the vision the voice showed.

Horrible battles, horribly murdered people, and five heroes who persevere through the tragedy.

Their backs were dazzlingly bright. In the sky, the god of Canaan was illuminating the heroes with a beautiful light.

Then, the land where only death and blood was stagnant soon changed to a greenish form.

Pigeons flew, and bright flowers bloom. Instead of screaming and crying, people’s laughter is filled with laughter.

That is the present paradise island.

It was the history of Paradise School.

“I was looking for a successor to succeed me here. And the moment you entered Hisperiiff, I judged you to be the right person to be my successor.”

Aidan concentrated on the voice echoing in his head.

『I am the hero of the five who sealed the Demon King and the forgotten hero. This is Weapon Master Triston.”

The moment he heard that name, Aidan felt a shiver run through his body.

Weapon Master Triston.

Forgotten Heroes.

As a person living in this world, there is no name that beats my heart more than this.

“Hold my belongings. It will be of great help to you.”

With those words, the illusion dissipates and returns to reality. Aidan silently approached the skeleton lying on the wall.

Metal staff adorned with red jewels. It was the legacy of a hero that did not even fade even after hundreds of years passed.

As he reached out and grabbed the staff, his voice rang out like thunder.

“At last, someone who will carry on my will was born. Now that I have done my part, I will return to the land of rest!

You who walk the path of the Weapon Master, Aidan Christopher. Always be on the lookout for darkness. Uncover the malice and intrigue hidden in peace.

The strength of me and my colleagues is now weak. The birth of the old was not long ago. You will become the hope of a new era!”

Aidan trembled with his hands and feet. Sweat was pouring out of me at the dreadful majesty.

One, it didn’t fall. I made up my mind and put strength into the hand that was holding the staff.

Then, the white light emanating from the staff flickered and was sucked into Aidan’s body.

“Even if the voice is not heard, the will will remain. Just like I did, walk the path of a hero with a comrade you can trust. Follow your guide’s teachings. Then my honor will be yours.”

At the end of those words, there was no voice.

I met a legendary being. And he called himself his successor.

It was hard to believe even after experiencing it firsthand. Aidan staggered and leaned against the wall, feeling as if he was about to pass out at any moment.

‘But what happened to Baek San-woo?’

He may have also received a revelation. Aidan picked his breath and called for Sanwoo Baek, who was bowing his head.

“Hey, Sanwoo Baek. Could you come over for a moment?”

he shook his head Baek San-woo looked suspiciously calm.

A haven for forgotten heroes that no one on the continent would ever know. It is the tomb of Weapon Master Triston.

But why are you so quiet?

I thought so.

It was the Baeksanwoo who discovered the pattern and led him to this place, and even when he encountered the guardian golem, he was very calm.

As a member of the same team, he showed no difference from other students.

That doesn’t mean that he’s not an unjust person, either directly entering the Magi Prison to save his friends or always standing in the forefront to block the enemy was in line with Aidan’s idealistic pursuits.

So it was even more confusing.

Because I couldn’t figure out what it meant.

As I pondered the fact that I had heard the voice, doubts began to rise.

You are the heir, but how did you hear your voice? It was also questionable that Triston’s soul had no mention of the White Mountain Cattle.

‘This must be clearly pointed out.’

However, the momentary doubts turned into blind faith the moment Baek San-woo fell to his knees.

“Herobringer meets Triston’s successor. Speak.”

It was because Aidan did not need any other proof other than those words.

* * *

“Outside!! Outside!!!”

A man ran down the alley and shouted out loud. In his hands were a bunch of newspapers that had just been published.

“The successor of Triston has appeared! Heir of the forgotten hero!”

At that, the passers-by stopped walking. Soon, people began to flock around the man like bees.

“what!?”

“Hurry up, give me a copy! Right now!”

“Come on, line up! Line! Everyone has a Paradise card! It’s 5 Kelly for one!”

The street became lively in an instant.

‘How fast do crazy rumors spread?’

I just had a first interview with the professors and accompanied the dean to Triston’s tomb to complete the fact check.

But it’s already been written in a newspaper.

In this world or the real world, there seems to be no difference in the speed of rumors.

There may be no story about the leader, but just in case, I quickly turned around.

Anyway, despite the unexpected variables, things went well.

‘I thought it was appropriate.’

Aidan, who had awakened as Tristone’s successor, was surprised to hear that I was the leader, but he accepted it.

This was because I vividly remember Triston’s revelations.

A revelation to make companions and follow the teachings of the leader.

In the original work, it meant the teachings of professors and seniors, but it can be turned around in this way.

And to be honest, it’s not wrong.

I know everything that’s going to happen, and I have the ability to help Aidan out by fixing bugs.

Of course, it would be Aidan and the rest of the party to stand on the front line and repel the enemy.

Isn’t there a law that requires that you join the battle as a leader?

I have no intention of changing the basic stance I made up for since I first fell into this world.

don’t hurt me

to giggle.

Don’t be rude.

All activities supporting Aidan were able to be resolved within that category.

In addition, I urged Aidan not to let others know that I was the leader.

There is a certain darkness sleeping on Paradise Island, so you have to be careful.

As this was also mentioned in Triston’s revelation, Aidan promised to keep the security without even a single doubt.

‘Now I have to devote myself to training for a while.’

Aside from the leader, the fact that Aidan is Triston’s successor will be officially announced soon.

If so, the second main scenario ‘The Fall of the Magic Swordsman’ will proceed without any problems.

The point of contact between me and Bernax was only one match, and it wouldn’t have had much of an impact.

Punishment is now over. I must have obtained the qualifications to enter other dungeons.

I plan to ignore the main scenario as much as possible and focus on enhancing individual abilities.

‘Please don’t just create weird variables!’

That was my only wish.
