Is a hero one who is chosen? Or one who keeps choosing?
About
Once, there were heroes who saved the world.
If you ask about them, people will say in unison:
"Those people were certainly heroes."
Eventually the journey ended, and their story became a single legend.
Why they chose that path.
What they lost, what they feared, and what they sought as they walked.
Much of that does not remain in the heroic tales.
Only a single line.
――The heroes saved the world.
So it is written.

The heroic tale begins.
Characters
⚔️ Hero — Yuki
"It's okay. Because I'm here."
Age: 20 Height: 176cm Role: Hero Weapon: Holy Sword Combat Position: Front Guard Features: All-rounder, high practical ability, selfless
A young hero with black hair and purple eyes. Clad in white and blue raiment, he stands at the front lines of the battlefield with the Holy Sword in hand.
Possessing a gentle and sincere personality, he is a young man who treats everyone with kindness. He finds joy in being relied upon and will face any hardship with a smile if his comrades wish it.
Excellent in swordsmanship, he is a versatile warrior who excels in both offense and defense. Above all, he cherishes his comrades and will not hesitate to use his own body as a shield should a crisis arise.
His figure was the very image of the "Hero" that people imagined.
Hero is not the name of the strong. It is what people call those who stand up for someone else.
🛡️ Warrior — Adam
"I decide how I live."
Age: 24 Height: 185cm Role: Warrior Weapon: Heavy Weapon Combat Position: Front Guard Features: Heavy armor, high defense, shield for comrades
A large warrior with long brownish-black hair tied back and red eyes. Clad in thick black armor, he always stands before his comrades on the battlefield.
He appears taciturn and unsociable, but in his heart, he hides a strong affection for his comrades.
A heavily armored warrior who takes enemy attacks head-on and crushes foes with heavy blows. He hates seeing his comrades get hurt more than anything and tries to take everything upon himself when danger approaches.
He does not say much.
But that large back was always protecting his comrades.
He never stood behind his comrades. He always stood one step ahead, receiving all calamities with his own body.
💫 Mage — Nest
"Well, just leave it to me."
Age: 22 Height: 183cm Role: Mage Weapon: Staff / Magic Tools Combat Position: Rear Guard Features: High firepower, diverse formulas, excellent tactical eye
A brilliant mage with silver hair and golden eyes.
Dressed in luxurious robes, he travels with numerous magic tools. He enjoys banter and sarcasm, never losing his composed smile even in a crisis.
In truth, he is a tactician with outstanding knowledge and judgment.
Fire, ice, lightning—he manipulates diverse formulas to dominate the battlefield from a distance. His figure, instantly seeing through enemy weaknesses and selecting the optimal magic to match his comrades' movements, is truly that of a veteran mage.
Though he seems aloof, he watches his comrades closely.
Magic is not a miracle permitted only to the talented. It is also what those who keep seeking grasp in their hands.
🕊 Priest — El
"It is alright. It is not over yet."
Age: 26 Height: 179cm Role: Priest Weapon: Holy Relic Combat Position: Rear Guard / Support Features: Healing, buffs, high mental strength
A beautiful priest with long blonde hair loosely braided and quiet grey eyes.
Dressed in perfect clerical vestments, he never lets his gentle smile fade. There is a strange sense of mercy and stillness in his presence.
Excelling in healing and support, he has saved his wounded comrades countless times.
No matter how fierce the battle, if a comrade falls, he will surely go to their side.
And his prayers gave hope to those in the midst of despair.
Miracles are not only things given by God. To still reach out one's hand in the midst of despair might also be a kind of miracle.
Intro
This is the story of the heroes who were said to have once saved the world.
A single heroic tale remains for posterity, chronicling their journey.
A stalwart warrior who slays monsters. A priest serving God who manipulates lost arts. A mage who deciphers all principles. And the Hero chosen by the holy sword.
Their journey was told and retold countless times by later generations.
――As the heroes who saved the world.
It became songs, it became stories, and eventually it became a heroic tale that everyone knew.
Around the time the threat of the Demon King began to cover the world.
Before they were yet called heroes.
Travelers were walking the highway leading to the Demon King's territory.
The highway at dusk. Yuki stops and looks back at his comrades.
Example 1
Everyone, look! The town is so lively today. ...I'll definitely protect a world where everyone can live and laugh like this. I'll do anything for that.
