Chapter 15 - This is the Hero

In a dimly lit room, the only light came from a computer. Sitting before it was a purple-haired girl, though her expression was grim.

"I'm the savior! A cricket bug can't possibly stump the great savior! Look, I'll overcome it!"

An hour later.

The girl, Houraiji Kyuushou, collapsed. Just like math, if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out. Code won't automatically edit just because you're who you are.

"If this keeps up, we won't make it to the official release. No way!"

Houraiji Kyuushou lay there for a while, then rekindled her fighting spirit. She was the savior, and she couldn't break her promise!

Just as she was about to fight again, a voice echoed in her mind. [Ding, welcome to the Dimension Chat Group.]

Houraiji Kyuushou: "Hey!"

...

The table was filled with a variety of food. Several maids stood around, neatly standing nearby, respectfully looking at the lone girl sitting in the room.

"This is delicious! This is delicious too! This is so delicious!" The gray-haired girl, Luo Tianyi, filled her mouth with joy. Though her mouth wasn't big, she kept swallowing like a squirrel.

The entire heap of food was quickly devoured by the girl. Even so, her slender waist barely swayed, remaining perfectly still and flat.

"Your Highness, is today's meal to your liking?" a maid respectfully approached the girl and asked.

"Yes, very much so. Especially that meat. It's delicious!" Luo Tianyi's eyes lit up as she recalled the dish she had just eaten.

"That's the result of Xia Nation's research: a new species, the Ox-Horse, created by mating a cow and a horse."

Luo Tianyi's lips twitched at the term. "Ox-Horse? What a unique name!"

"It's been ages since I've heard that term."

Her name was Luo Tianyi, a young princess of the Luo Dynasty. But not long ago, she was just an ordinary student, playing and joking with her classmates. Then, somehow, she woke up here and became Her Royal Highness.

Memories of her life here still lingered in her mind, and she was a little confused about what was happening.

She casually tossed a piece of dessert into her mouth. Just as Luo Tianyi was pondering. [Ding! Welcome to the Dimensional Chat Group.]

Luo Tianyi: "Eh."

...

Someone in the chat group was explaining...

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: So, do you two understand?

[I'm Not a Foodie]: Yes, I understood.

[I Am the Savior]: I see. I already know what's going on, the Savior from another world, the one who walks with me.

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: ...That's fine if you understand it that way.

[I'm Not a Foodie]: So, everyone's from another world?

[Wheelchair Sniper]: Currently, everyone belongs to a different world.

Luo Tianyi thought for a moment and then finally told everyone in the chat group about her problem.

[I'm Not a Foodie]: Everyone, I seem to have traveled through time.

I have to sit up and watch this. Xiling sat up directly from the stone. 

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: Joke.

[High School Student Kevin]: You're a hero too!

[Great Magician Tarnished]: You're a hero too!

[Wheelchair Sniper]: You're a hero too!

[I'm the Savior]: ??? I don't want to be a hero anymore! You really are a hero!

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: We'll talk about that later. Right now, the most important thing is the foodie problem.

[I'm Not a Foodie]: Can you please stop calling me a foodie? My name is Luo Tianyi.

Xiling took a deep breath and sighed, "This is truly a dimensional chat group. It's so exciting! Even Luo Shen got matched with me."

[I'm Not a Foodie] Anyway, I don't know why I was transported to an ancient world, and I'm a princess. And I still have memories of my life here.

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: Body possession?

[I'm Not a Foodie]: No, this is my body!

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: Then I'm not sure. If you need help, I'll go over there and take a look.

[I'm Not a Foodie]: Is that okay? Thank you, Xiling.

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: It's a small matter.

[I'm the Savior]: There's a cheater!

Houraiji Kyuushou looked at a panel on the chat group interface, stunned.

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: What do you mean by cheater?

[High School Student Kevin]: You're a cheater!

[Great Magician Tarnished]: Xiling, you still say you're a human!

"What's wrong with these two idiots?" Just as Xiling was puzzled. 

[Wheelchair Sniper]: Xiling, take a look at the new features unlocked in the chat group. You're really outrageous.

"What's going on?" Xiling looked at the two newly added features in confusion.

[Mission System.]

[Character System.]

Xiling clicked on the character system, and a screen appeared before him, displaying the avatars of the current chat group members. Xiling casually clicked on his own avatar, and then he understood why someone said he was a cheater.

[Name: Xiling]

[Race: Hero]

[Strength: C~EX]

[Speed: C~EX]

[Magic: EX]

[Endurance: B~EX]

[Attributes: Indestructible Will, Never Die, Destiny in My Hands]

Magic Use {LV3}

Swordsmanship {LV5}]

[Skills:

Hero Mode {LV7}: Consumes immense energy and complete concentration

These statuses are cheating!

"That's me!" Xiling looked at his character panel and couldn't help but glance at himself. He hadn't realized he was that powerful. 

[High School Student Kevin]: Oh my god, you're such an outrageous hero!

[Great Magician Tarnished]: My Lord, I'm your most loyal magician!

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: No, do you think that panel matches me?

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: I can't even understand what's written on it. Do I have those things?

Kevin, lost in confusion, accidentally punched through the sandbag. Pulling his arm free amid the stunned gazes of the other soldiers, Kevin rubbed his chin, pondering.

"It seems not. Aside from those ghostly abilities, everything else seems similar."

[I Am the Savior]: This hero is truly heroic! A comeback from adversity!

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: I don't feel like I've ever had to turn things around. I lose every day.

Looking at the information on his character panel, Xiling straightened his back. He felt he had it all.

Skeleton Soldier?

Watch me, the Hero, take it down!
