Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

Author: Silent West Wind Fungus

Summary:

Noah: It may only take a few days for people to recognize others, but it takes a lifetime to recognize their own desires. For example, after traveling through time, I realized that I fought the devil not to save the world, but because fighting is really fun! !

Ai Si: Noah is the man who can be my father!

Matou Sakura: My desire... is you, big brother!

Himeragi Setsuna: Having said that, don't you really think there are too many girls around you?

1 I just traveled through time and space, and saw a trafficking gang in a different world.

"We will erect a statue to forever celebrate your heroic deeds of defeating the Demon King and saving the continent...after your death!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? He doesn't have much magic power left! There are so many of us, can he really kill us all?!"

"I'm sorry, but your time was so unfree!"

……

[Ding ding ding, respected Mr. Noah, good afternoon. Congratulations on being selected as the chosen one by the 10086th "World Savior System." This system will assist you in saving the world with ease and joy!]

……

In a deep, rainy alley, on a bluestone slab covered with water, lay a silver-haired young man.

Beneath the tattered silver armor, his body was covered with wounds so deep that the bones were visible.

Blood seeped out, slowly dyeing the stagnant water red.

The cold rain fell, sliding across the half-broken hideous mask and slapping the pale cheeks.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed.

The fingers gripping the sword trembled slightly, and the boy's eyes suddenly opened, his ignorant blue pupils reflecting the hazy sky.

"...Please die!"

The murderous face appeared before his eyes again, waking his consciousness suddenly from the chaos and confusion, and he subconsciously stood up.

But in the next second, his vision went dark because of the severe pain and weakness that spread from all over his body.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and Noah almost fainted again.

After taking a quick look at the surroundings, and realizing that although it felt unfamiliar, it didn't seem dangerous, the young man relaxed again and curled up, covering his wound.

"Well!"

After panting for a long time, the boy regained some strength and climbed to the corner of the wall where he could barely shelter from the rain and sat down.

He took off the broken mask, revealing his pale cheeks.

He took a few deep breaths before he had the strength to look around again.

It was just located in a deep alley, and apart from the gray sky above and the walls on all sides, nothing could be seen.

The only thing that was certain was that this was definitely not the desert battlefield where he first fought a decisive battle with the Demon King and then fought a group of traitors in a bloody battle.

"No, where did I come from? Is this still the mainland?"

As he was looking up at the sky in confusion, a crackling sound similar to the sound of a weak electric current suddenly rang in his ears.

His whole body tensed up, the young man gripped his sword tightly and glanced around.

But no enemy attacked, only a light blue fluorescent screen appeared in front of his eyes.

[Ding, the current world is detected as "Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon?" / "I'm looking for someone to meet you."]

Looking at the flickering screen in front of him, Noah only showed a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Please? What the hell is this?"

The underground city, Noah had heard of this place, a deep cave full of ferocious monsters.

But he had heard of people going to the dungeon in the past seeking wealth, power, and even killing, but this was the first time he had heard of people seeking encounters.

Falling in love in a place full of bloody monsters?

Oh~

Even though Noah had killed countless lives, he still felt a little disgusted to eat next to a corpse that had been completely destroyed.

However, Noah soon discovered another important point.

"Current world? So, I've come to another world?"

[Ding, sure, this world is in a different dimension from the world you were in before.]

Noah fell into a brief silence.

For a moment, Noah suspected that he might be under an illusion.

But out of confidence, he ruled out this possibility.

This confidence was in himself—even if he was seriously injured, no one could make him fall into an illusion without realizing it.

It is also for former companions - no one dares to take the risk of letting himself survive, otherwise all traitors will die.

After realizing this, Noah relaxed his guard and subconsciously hugged his body with his arms.

I don’t know if it was because I felt cold due to excessive blood loss, or because I felt confused and desolate about my situation.

As a brave man, Noah has killed too many enemies on his way to save the world.

There are countless external enemies such as rebels, bandits, monsters and aliens, and more importantly, Noah never shows mercy to internal thieves.

Corrupt officials who oppress the common people, extravagant princes and nobles, and beastly sectarian churches...

A considerable number of them are elders, classmates, teachers and good friends of Noah’s comrades and subordinates.

In fact, they themselves rose from poverty and hardship, and fought bloody battles for justice alongside Noah.

Until they were corrupted by power and turned into the kind of people they once hated the most, and became Noah's enemies.

Therefore, Noah was prepared for the possibility of disagreement between himself and others.

I just didn't expect them to be so direct and impatient.

No, that's not right. In fact, Noah had a premonition long ago - the devil had been destroyed, and he was in the weakest state. It was the best time for him to die with a clear conscience. How could those people possibly endure it?

However, Noah, who was thought to have become as hard as iron after countless battles, did not realize that deep in his heart there was still a trace of tenderness and fantasy left from past friendships.

It was this last bit of softness that made Noah, who was already exhausted inside, relax his vigilance and make a risky choice for the first time.

——Once the Demon King dies, the hero's mission has also come to an end. If everyone is looking forward to his own death, then Noah can also give himself a long sleep vacation after a long absence.

Of course, Noah takes all the traitors out at the end.

[Ding, as long as the host continues to complete the mission, there is a chance to return to the original world. ]

"...No, that's not necessary. I've already given enough to that world. The rest is up to them to go on their own."

Noah shook his head and slowly stood up, holding on to the wall.

He raised his head, looked at the hazy sky silently, and felt the drizzle falling.

"...Next, I should live for myself."

Walking towards the alley entrance, Noah's attention gradually returned from the past to reality.

An unknown alien world?

A new feeling of nervous excitement welled up in Noah's heart, reminding him of when he was twelve years old, carrying the best sword in the village and heading from the countryside to the capital.

At that time, he was like a newly forged sword, sharp and bright. He believed that his swordsmanship alone could cut off all ugliness and injustice and bring happiness to the world.

But as a joke of fate, Noah learned the art of power, understood strategies, and knew how to weigh the pros and cons, becoming a despicable hero with only calculations, considerations, and cautions in his heart.

If we use a weapon to compare him, then he must be a rusty, broken sword that is no longer sharp.

Even though he hypnotized himself countless times with "This is for justice", Noah understood that his soul was already turbid before his armor became stained by the devil's blood.

But now, he felt again the excitement caused by the unknown, just like when he first stepped into the royal capital.

What will I encounter when I come to this world?

With this thought in mind, Noah stepped out of the alley.

The bitter winter wind mixed with icy rain swept across the street, suddenly clearing Noah's vision, and he was immediately attracted by the scenery in front of him.

The wide avenue is paved with bluestone slabs, and shops are lined up on both sides of the street.

Merchants in business robes, adventurers carrying weapons, and residents carrying baskets and backpacks.

The most important thing is that there are strong orcs, hotly dressed Amazons, elegant elves, or handsome men and beautiful women with otherworldly temperament. All kinds of races are naturally mixed together.

More importantly, at the end of both sides of the street - on one side is the huge city wall surrounding the entire town, and on the other side is the chalk tower in the center of the town, towering into the clouds.

All of this seemed familiar, yet completely different from the past, converging into a scene that Noah had never seen in his previous life.

But the next second, his eyes widened.

"Oh my god! There are also child trafficking gangs in other worlds?"

2 Come on, sneak attack!

On the empty streets covered by icy rain, eight-year-old girl, Essie Wallenstein, ran forward recklessly with the momentum to crush the ground.

Drops of scalding water continuously overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and were blown away by the oncoming icy wind, splashing backwards.

Even though the movement of running caused the damaged armor to fall off, making the wounds more hideous and bleeding, and the pain and coldness tore at her body, she did not stop.

It seems that if the speed is fast enough, all the pain, sorrow and troubles can be left behind.

But this failed. Those words that were like sharp swords, hurting others and herself, still haunted her like a nightmare!

'You're not my mother!'

Livilia's expression filled with pain and sorrow echoed before her eyes, and Ais felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

The heart felt like it was being placed on a rusty jigsaw, and every breath brought a pain that cut through flesh and blood, making the whole body tremble.

why?

Why don’t you understand!

This world is full of dangers and darkness. If you don't gain enough power quickly, you will sooner or later be swallowed up by the darkness of despair again!

Just like father and mother!

Reality is not a fairy tale, and 'heroes' will not appear.

There was no such thing in the past, there is no such thing now, and there will be no such thing in the future!

No one will come to save me, no one will lend a helping hand, no one will come to rescue me.

Even though she found herself covered in bruises, cried until her throat was no longer able to make a sound, and blood replaced her tears, the hero she longed for never appeared by her side.

So, she couldn't wait...

So, she couldn't expect...

So, she took up the sword...

Because, Ace Wallenstein must be her own hero!

When Ai Si came to her senses, she had already arrived at the dungeon.
