Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Survival story of a swordsman across the continents

Year 1398 of the Imperial calendar - Shouyo continent - Cabin in the snow

(Alastor POV)

"!!!" Atisse

Her red nails start producing fire as they approach the neck of the disabled man.

"Ifrit, stop!" Alastor

I get behind her and interlock my arms under her armpits.

"Don't get in my way!" Ifrit

Her tail hits me, but I don't let her go.

"..." Hanbin

The man in question just stands in the same place, as if he were ready for any punishment.

"Take a better look, feel his mana! He isnt a Isekai hero" Alastor

"...?" Ifrit

There is some of that green energy on him, but the positioning is weird.

"...What is this?" Ifrit

It is as if plant roots were covering the stigma of the system, and they spread all over his spine.

"An artificial Isekai Hero?" Ifrit

"... that seems to be the case" Alastor

It seems like someone planted something resembling a seed and grant him a power close to an Isekai hero.

"... I understand the unconformity you may have, that is also what led me to take my own eyes" Hanbin

"..." Atisse

His partner doesn't seem so understanding and is glaring at Ifrit.

"Could you please tell us your story?" Alastor

"You have the nerve to ask for something!" Atisse

She isn't welcoming anymore.

"Atisse, it is fine. If they are fighting the system, they must have a reason strong enough to put up with it" Hanbin

"..." Atisse

The dragonewt doesn't seem very convinced.

"And don't act like a saint, you also attacked me on our first meeting" Hanbin

"That was..." Atisse

They seem to have a past behind them.

"Please step inside and have a seat" Hanbin

...

We sit on a rectangular wooden table with four chairs.

"Start talking, I don't like your presence at all" Ifrit

"Please don't attack him again" Alastor

Ifrit and I are on one side.

"...I will not serve you anything" Atisse

"Don't be like that Atisse, We both don't like it either" Hanbin

And the two of them on the other side.

"I guess I should start from the start" Hanbin

He puts his hands over the table and overlaps them.

"I am not a resident of this continent, I was born in what is worldly known as the demon continent" Hanbin

The demon continent?

"There are still people living there?" Alastor

I thought they died long ago.

"We survive... That would be a more accurate word" Hanbin

The rumors of that continent being full of demons for centuries seems true.

"Back there I was a simple swordsman, surviving day by day"

"But one day something happened, a new kind of monster swarm the settlement my group had"

"A giant beetle army, they didn't kill anyone but they take various of us into the air, me included"

Beetles, not demons? Why would they kidnap people?

"My memories after that are blurry, something important did happen but I just can remember it no matter what"

{Someone altered his memories of that moment}

[They had a leader?]

"The next thing I remember pieces of a strange me, looking for petty girls in an unknown place, introducing new little inventions outside my knowledge, being praised by anyone and everything on my way..."

[A typical Isekai hero]

"But it wasn't as pleasant as you may think, I was just a leaf dancing on the wind, none of these actions were actually mine and I could feel that the reaction of the people reflected in my eyes wasn't also theirs"

{But not everyone has that same mindset of looking for undeserved praises}

"In that mental struggle, I meet Atisse" Hanbin

"It was a simple mission of finding an evil sorceress that was terrorizing a town, but when our eyes meet, it felt that it was the first time my eyes could see"

"There was a battle and I won effortlessly, but upon sensing my body trying to finish up the unconscious Atisse, I regained my control for one second"

[He managed to weaken the system?]

{The strange experiment must have helped him manage that}

"That second was enough to use my sword to take out the light of whatever was controlling me"

So that was his last action as a swordsman...

"After that, I was really puzzled by his actions, he abandoned all the women of his harem and decided to stay at my side" Atisse

She brings some tea to the man telling us their story.

"But the system didn't like that"

Hanbin drinks the tea as Atisse continues.

"I started to get daily missions about eliminating the false hero, together with anyone in our way"

I guess that the true Isekai hero is the one that Clermont met.

"Like that, without realizing it, one day we got no place left to run"

{The Seihen is a fully inhabited continent, there is practically no place without civilization there}

"So We had no choice but to leave this continent by using an artifact that turned me into a fire dragon"

[Are those common?]

{No, that must have been her most valuable trick}

"That worked out halfway, but surviving the later half was purely thanks to Eric"

"That name was the one I decided to use while in hiding, but Atisse took it as a nickname" Hanbin

He seems to retain the Isekai hero strength but decides to not use it.

"That is how we got here, and it is all I can tell you" Hanbin

"..." Alastor

"..." Ifrit

{Was it an experiment or just a hobby? whenever it was, that is something out there that exceeds a simple Isekai hero action}

The demon continent, an existence capable of interacting with the system resides there...
