Everyone is a hero, but I am a second-year player.

But...it doesn't mean it can't be changed.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary swordsman. From the time he traveled to this debate game until he was eighteen years old, he awakened the system and seemed to have entered a script full of bitterness and hatred.

But in this life, he, who has the memories of his past life, has shown a strong talent for swordsmanship since childhood, and his personality has also changed greatly. Although certain inevitable events have occurred, the results have also changed greatly because of his strength and personality.

For example, he lost an important sword-fighting competition in his previous life, which made him work hard and train hard from then on.

In this life, he won the competition directly and became the unshakable strongest young man in the village, receiving a lot of admiration and appreciation.

The sufferings you experienced in your previous life can be changed and avoided in this life!

What growth? What transformation? It's all bullshit!

In this life, he wants to change the fate of the village's destruction. He wants...

Rescue my sister with my own hands.

Saved the village with his own hands.

With his own hands, he killed those evil demons who had caused him to die with hatred in his previous life!

"Then...sister."

A dark fire burned in the depths of An Yi's usually calm eyes.

"Before you go out, change into light clothes and bring potions to repel monsters."

2 The beginning of dusk

[Level 1 Disaster: Goblin Invasion

Event Description:

A small number of low-level monsters [Goblins] invade, a demon disaster that is common in village-level human settlements

Even a beginner warrior can easily deal with it~

But in the known records, [Goblin] is one of the demons that kills the most humans. Please protect the ordinary people around you.]

This is the description of the [Goblin Invasion] in the system that An Yi obtained in his previous life.

For those who are chosen as heroes, [Level 1 Disaster] is nothing at all. It is equivalent to going to the door of the Novice Village and killing a few slimes to collect slime.

However, for ordinary people in this world, even the lowest level one disaster can bring devastating disaster to a small village with a permanent population of dozens of people.

Every day there are small villages like this destroyed by demons. If put on a statistical website, it would just be the cold “death toll +1+1+1+1”.

But if the demons really come to the village where he lives, "+1+1" will become the people around him, and everything he is familiar with will be destroyed.

In An Yi's memory, he will never forget everything that happened in those few short hours.

The once peaceful village turned into a sea of ​​fire that night. The demons were destroying and trampling on it. The resistance of the weak villagers was vulnerable and was completely torn apart by the brutality of those monsters.

The streets were filled with flickering flames and broken corpses. The village, which once smelled of green grass and earth, was now filled with pungent smoke and the sickening smell of blood.

In purgatory, those demons were like evil spirits from hell, holding torches, carrying human heads and limbs, turning everything of the past into ashes and scorched earth.

The village was destroyed.

My father is dead, my mother is dead, my sister is dead.

The children of the neighbors, the respected elders, the companions who grew up together, and the soldiers who encouraged me, are all dead.

In the records about the Sword Hero, it is easy to misunderstand that he was able to survive at that time because of his own ability.

In fact, it was because he discovered the demons and reported it to the village that the nearest demon hunter team arrived late and rescued several swordsmen who fought to the end, including Anyi.

However, those few swordsmen who were barely cannon fodder among the demon hunters were not worth mentioning under the halo of the [Sword Hero] and were not worthy of being recorded in history.

There is even less need to record the three or two survivors.

"Anyi, Anyi...?"

At this time, Annie's voice came from her ear, awakening An Yi who was lost in her memories.

"Huh?" An Yi turned to look.

"What's wrong? I called you several times but you ignored me. What are you thinking about?

Could it be that you saw a pretty girl in town?" Annie teased.

"Sister is the most beautiful girl I have seen today. I haven't seen her in town yet." An Yi answered calmly.

"Ah ha~ An Yi is really good at talking~" Annie nudged An Yi with her shoulder, "If it were any other girl, she would definitely be coaxed away by you."

"Really..." An Yi just responded in a low voice.

In his previous life, all he had in mind was revenge, endless revenge on the demons. In order to prevent more tragedies from happening, he had been slaughtering the demons almost non-stop for the past ten years.

He forgot how many people of the opposite sex had expressed their affection for him, those of low status, those of high status, those who were pretty, those who were average, and even other female heroes, but he rejected or ignored them all.

He didn't have the time or mood to fall into the arms of tenderness.

Women will only slow down the speed at which he draws his sword!

"Tomorrow is your birthday. Is there anything you want?" Annie asked with a smile, but it was obvious that she was speaking in a very clumsy way.

If you know what your brother wants, you can prepare it in advance!

Anyi: "I want world peace."

Annie: "..."

How to prepare this in advance?!

"What birthday present should I get An Yi? It's so hard to decide..." Annie walked in front with a medicine basket on her back, glancing at An Yi from time to time and giving crazy hints.

"It's okay if you don't send it. I don't want anything." An Yi said calmly.

"That won't do. Starting tomorrow you'll be an adult, so you must celebrate properly." Annie turned around and lectured seriously.

According to the actual situation in this world, eighteen years old is actually too late to be considered an adult, but the game is set up like this, similar to "all characters appearing are over eighteen years old."

"…There's nothing to celebrate." An Yi shifted his gaze from the front to the other side, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"Don't say that! An Yi's birth is definitely worth celebrating!

You are good in every way except that you are too modest. You are so outstanding and a genius swordsman in our village. Your birthday is definitely worth celebrating." Annie said.

"I'm a genius, and that's as it should be."

Because he is the [Sword Hero].

"Don't you think it's weird that you said that...?"

"I don't think so, because there is no one in this world who is more talented than me."

He was just telling the truth.

"...I take back what I said about you being too modest. It's better not to be too proud. Isn't there a saying that goes 'there are always people who are better than you'?

Maybe there is a swordsman out there who is more talented than you."

"No." An Yi said calmly, "If there is a swordsman more talented than me out there, then this world will be in danger."

"Sister is beginning to not understand what you are saying..." Annie's mind was full of question marks.

They chatted idly along the way, and after walking for dozens of minutes, they finally arrived at the place where they were going to collect herbs.

The place for collecting herbs is usually fixed, that is, a fixed refresh point.

However, the process of picking herbs is not like the players who just press F or E to end. The area where the herbs grow, the specific location, and the collection site all require time to find and confirm, so picking can take several hours.

When I came to my senses, it was already dusk.

The beautiful red glow shines through the branches and leaves and spreads to the ground. Under normal circumstances, it would definitely be a pleasing sight.

But in a forest where monsters roam, the dark red light will only make people feel uneasy.

Darkness represents unknown danger, and dusk means that darkness is about to fall.

At this time, Annie was still concentrating on picking herbs, trying to collect all the last herbs within the time limit, and had no idea that danger was approaching.

An Yi used boredom as an excuse to complete his pre-battle warm-up on the side.

Just as he expected, no matter how early or late he went out, Annie would be busy picking herbs until almost dusk.

The [Demon Invasion] incidents usually occur at night, so it would be more accurate to say that the two were discovered by the demons rather than that they just happened to appear on the route of the demon invasion.

A rustling sound began to be heard in the forest, and the time was almost up.

Soon, the events that led to Anne's tragic death in her previous life will begin...

3 Kill them all to protect your sister

rustle……

Anne finished picking herbs and looked up at the sky.

Looking at the rosy sky through the woods, she always felt that there was something strange.

What's wrong?

She couldn't tell.

"An Yi!"

She shouted towards the distance.

"It's so late, we should go home!"

"Okay." An Yi nodded and looked around.

rustle……

"and many more!"

Anne suddenly thought of something, frowned and looked around.

"An Yi, did you hear any sound?"

"I heard my sister's voice." An Yi pretended to know nothing.

"No! I mean... the sounds around me!"

Anne closed her eyes and began to listen to the sounds around her.

rustle……

"Listen! That's the sound!" She suddenly opened her eyes and said to An Yi excitedly.

At this moment, she finally realized the strange feeling just now.

Looking up at the leaves above, you can tell that there is no wind.

Why can I hear the rubbing of grass blades when there is no wind? !

"An Yi, you said, no, no, there won't be monsters, right...?"

Annie's eyes flashed with fear. She grabbed An Yi's sleeve and looked around vigilantly.

“Mom and Dad always say that the forest is very dangerous at night and that man-eating monsters will appear.

Anyi, what should we do if we encounter a monster? Will we be eaten? ? "

"That's not the case."

An Yi shook his head.

“There aren’t many man-eating monsters, and ordinary people without magic powers are unlikely to be preyed upon by monsters.

There is a complete food chain in nature, and no monster must feed on humans.

If there were, they would have starved to death long ago when humans moved into villages and cities.”

"Is... is this true?" Annie was stunned. It was the first time she heard of such a thing.

"but……"

An Yi turned his gaze and met the eager eyes lurking in the dark forest.

It was as if to tell them, "I see you."

"We seem to be in bigger trouble than Warcraft," he said.
