Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 9: Unfortunate Heero (1)

Heero departed to Morabaka City in high spirits and expectation. As Saint's disciple, he was confident in his strength. Even though he never experienced the outside words, his seven fairy mothers always told him everything about the outside world. Moreover, in his Master's library, there was a history of humanity and important event was also recorded in a book.

He wanted to be a Legendary Hero. To be a Legendary Hero, he needed to defeat God. Whether it was God Beast or God Specter, he needed to defeat one of them to be a Legendary Hero.

However, for now, Heero realized that to defeat a god with his current was unrealistic. For now, he planned to raise his rank slowly.

For now, his rank was an apprentice hero, the lowest one. Above Apprentice Hero was Intermediate Hero and Advance Hero. People usually called Intermediate Hero as lower-level Beginner Hero and upper-level Beginner Hero when one reached Advance Hero.

Above Beginner Hero, it was Master and Grand Master. Above Master and Grandmaster was King, King of Heroes. This rank was only for Hero who had defeated King or Emperor Specter/Beast.

However, Heero did not want to be just King, he wanted to be a Legend. He wanted to be what his Grandfather yearned for.

"I will be a Legend!" Heero clenched his palm into a fist and aimed to the sky.

"But before that, I will have to reach Morabaka City first!" Heero put his hand down and went to sleep.

Currently, he was staying in the wilderness. His Master said it would take a month trip to reach Morabaka from Nebraska. Heero was still halfway to reach Morabaka.

The next morning, Heero continued his journey to Morabaka. His journey to Morabaka was smooth, he encountered no Specter and Beast at all.

Fifteen days passed by and finally, Heero got to see Morabaka's metal wall. As one of the five biggest cities, Morabaka had another name, Unbreachable Fortress.

The black metal wall left Heero in amazement. When one just looked at the metal wall, it would leave an oppressive feeling. Heero rushed to the gate.

He wanted to enter the city directly, he was eager to see what Morabaka City looked like. However, before he could enter, there were two guards blocked him with their spears.

"Kid, you have to pay if you want to enter the city!" A guard full of beard said to Randy.

Heero realized his mistake. If one wanted to enter the city, they had to pay and it applied to the normal citizen, merchants, etc. However, if it was Hero, they did not need to pay as long as you showed Hero Identity Card.

Heero did not wear plate armor or leather armor like a normal hero would wear, but casual clothes. So the guards mistook him as a normal citizen.

"Oh, I am sorry Uncle. I am a Hero!" Heero apologized and showed his identity card as a Hero proudly.

The guard surprised when they saw the identity card. They thought Heero was just a normal netizen who just back from the other city.

The guard did not directly let Heero in. A guard with full of beard took the identity cars. He wanted to check it. When he saw who approved and made the identity card, the bearded-guard surprised.

Archief Priest Salomon Arkshain, one of twelve Archief Priests. The guard immediately gave the id card back to Heero. With a smile, the bearded guard let Heero in.

"Good Luck, Boy!"

Getting one card approved by Archief Priest meant Heero was a real deal.

Heero took back the id card and thanked the guard, "Thank you, Uncle!"

When he was inside the city, Heero was not surprised anymore. It because Morabaka City was completely ordinary compared to Nebraska City.

"Hmm, let's just head to Hero Guild!" Heero did not have the interest to walk around of Morabaka City.

If Nebraska Temple was a place where he could become a Hero, then Hero Guild was a place where Hero working. Hero Guild would provide the mission and Hero Guild was also the one who determined the hero rank.

Even though Morabaka City was a foreign place for Heero, but he did not have a problem to find where Hero Guild was. He only needed to ask a passerby. When it came about Hero, even you were stranger, they would gladly help.

Hero Guild was located at the north of Morabaka City. The biggest building in the north was Hero Guild. It was easy to find.

Heero entered Hero Guild and went directly to the counter.

"Hello, my name is Heero. I am here reporting that I will work here from now on!"

Finally, Heero's career as Hero formally started.

In one a bar, east district of Morabaka City

Heero gulped a glass beer in one gulp and released out a sigh. It's been a year since he arrived at Morabaka City to start his career as Heero.

He started his career pretty good and caused controversy as he advanced to Beginner-Intermediate Hero just in one month. It was not that the fastest, but it was exceptional.

However, even though Heero advanced to Beginner-Intermediate Hero in one month, he was still stuck in Beginner-Advance Hero after a year. He took a month to advance to Intermediate Hero, but it took him 11 months to raise his rank to Advance Hero.

Of course, the problem was not with him, but the mission. One could advance to Intermediate Hero by completing 3 lower-level Beginner Missions or killing a thousand undead.

Undead was rank 1 specter, people usually called rank 1 specter undead because they did not have intelligence. Specter was an undead who gained intelligence.

Heero advanced to Intermediate Hero by killing a thousand undead. It was an easy feat. However, in order to raise his rank to Advance Hero, Heero needed to kill a hundred thousand undead or complete 20 Beginner Missions.

The problem was, Hero Guild hardly came up with a mission. Most missions were for a high-rank Hero and Heero could not take that mission because of his low-rank Hero. Even Hero Guild issued a Beginner Mission, there would be many Beginner Heroes would fight over it, first come first serve. It was the rule.

Wiping out undead was the easy choice. However, the problem was hard to find a hundred thousand undead. Heero managed to kill seventy thousand undead and finish 6 Beginner Missions in 11 months to raise his rank to Advance Hero.

Now, to raise his rank to Master Rank Hero, he had to kill ten million undead or a million rank 2 Specter (low-level Specter Knight) or a hundred thousand rank 3 specter (Intermediate-level Specter Knight).

The problem was they could only find rank 2 Specter or rank 3 Specter when war broke. Heero now stuck at Advance Rank Hero, he had a headache to raise his rank.

"Oya boy, do you have a problem? If you want to solve your virginity problem, then I will gladly help you!" A woman behind the counter approached Heero.

This woman was the owner of this bar. Heero was regular in this bar and he was familiar with the Boss, Marie Arossia. She was a hot woman, mature face, hot body, and her long legs had charmed many youths. There was another name for the Boss, Virgin Killer.

It was said if one wanted to solve your virginity problem, you only needed to come here.

Marie appeared to be in her early thirties, but Heero did not know the exact. He heeded his fairy mom advice, "Never ask a lady's age!" However, Marie indeed looked like a person who had many experiences.

Heero just waved his hand to Marie listlessly. He did not have the interest to joke with Marie. As for his virgin body, he would trust it to his future wife. For now, he just wanted to dedicate himself to be a great Hero.

Marie also noticed Heero seemed to be in a low mood. She did not continue the talk about the virgin.

"If you have a problem, just share it with this elder sister, maybe I can help you, "

It was not bad having a friend to talk about your problem with. Heero told the problem he faced to Marie.

However, upon hearing the complete story, Marie looked at Heero weirdly which made Heero uncomfortable.

"What? Just laugh if you want!" Heero frustrated.

Instead of laughing, Marie pulled Heero's ear, "In one year you managed to raise two ranks and you still think it's too slow? You are surely asking for a beating!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Pain pain pain!" Heero complained as he tried to release the hand from his ear.

Marie released her hand and asked seriously, "Let me ask you, why do you want to raise your rank quickly? What's your purpose?"

"Heh, I want to be a Legendary Hero as soon as possible. I want everyone knows my name, I want to be Legend just like Hero Mikail and it will be like this: Xing Heero, the Legendary Hero from Xing Village!" Heero declared proudly.

"Then, how soon? How soon do you want to be a Legend?" Marie asked again.

"Fi" Heero stopped. He wanted to reply in five years, he would be a legend in five years, but he knew he would get another scold if answered like that.

"Ten years, maybe?" Heero answered in a small voice.

Tak!

Marie instantly flicked Randy forehead as soon as she heard the answer. And surprisingly, it was more painful than his ear being pulled.

"Ten years and you want to be a legend like Hero Mikail!?" Marie seemed to be agitated, but Heero still nodded his head.

Tak!

Heero received another flick from Marie. However, instead of scolding Heero, Marie was taking a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

After a while, Marie calmed down and looked at Heero seriously.

"Let me ask you, how long it is before Hero Mikail could become a legend?"

"302 years!" Heero answered instantly and firmly. The history of Legend, Randy remembered it completely.

"Then what about Hero Garam?"

"341 years!" Heero answered in confusion. He did not get why did Marie ask him about this.

"Hero Virgil?"

"278 years!" Here, Heero realized why did Marie ask this.

"Hero Guan?"

"190 years!" Here, Heero's voice getting smaller as he realized his mistake.

Marie kept asking another three legends and Heero answered it truthfully. However, his voice was getting smaller and smaller as he answered Marie's question.

"Do you understand, right?" Marie said it in an annoyed tone.

Randy nodded his head meekly. He did not dare to meet his eyes with Marie's.

Amongst the seven legends recorded in a book, Hero Guan was the fastest to be a Legendary Hero. He slew God Specter 190 years after his debut as hero.

Here, He was so cocky declaring he would be a Legend in ten years. Heero was so ashamed for his declaration.

"I am sorry!" Heero apologized for his cockiness.

Marie waved her hand, "It's good if you realize it. Also, It's good if you want to be a legend as soon as possible, but Hero mattered not only rank, you know? Hero Guild set the rank not merely for you to show off, but for your own good. With rank, you will know your limit. So you know which one you can fight and which one you can't! With rank, Hero Guild can reduce the Hero casualties, do you understand?"

It was rare for Marie to talk about this serious. She seemed to care a lot about Heero.

Heero nodded his head, "I know! Thank you, Lady Boss!"

"It's good you understand! By the way, why do you want to be a Legend as soon as possible? I am curious!" Marie was truly curious.

Heero told the truth, about his village got attacked by specter and his family which also died during that event. He told Marie why he wanted to be a Legend. Of course, he did not tell Marie about Saint and his hellish training.

"Hmm, " Marie held her chin as she nodded her head.

"In that case, I will help you" Marie got closer to Heero and whispered something.

The more Heero heard it, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
