The boy, unsure of his ability to become a hero, was pulled along by Elfie and set off as a "traveler". During the journey, the boy and Elfie met three companions. A genie with glasses, a knight who is strong but breaks weapons easily, and a wizard who comes from a prestigious magic family but is obsessed with science and machines... All of them seem to be a little out of parameters for an Evil God-slaying team, but... well, never mind about that!
The boy and his companions traveled to countries all over the world, experiencing different cultures and meeting different people... The thing that moved his heart and thoughts the most was the conflict between "humans". Pitting profits against each other, competing for resources, seeking revenge, protecting themselves, or just killing time... "humans" always seem to be blaming each other.
And the boy saw the true identity of the "savior" who stopped the war between "humans".
Demons that can emit a horrible evil aura have attacked the land of the sea and the land of cliffs at the same time. These two countries had been fighting over the issue of territory for a long time. However, in the face of countless demons, the two countries worked together as if they were one nation and successfully defeated the army of demons.
Seeing this, the boy's mind was surrounded by one big question.
What is the enemy of us “humans"?
And when the boy arrived at the end of his long journey, he was to stand before the Evil God.
The Evil God disappeared from the mist that hid him and appeared in front of the boy.
It was a face that looked exactly like the boy. Black hair, red eyes, and a faintly frightened heart behind those eyes. The boy was convinced:
"This person is me.”
The Evil God, the other boy, began to speak. It all started with a lie, thousands of years ago. A country, tormented by years of war, made one boy "hero" and ordered him to exterminate an Evil God that did not exist.
"When the Evil God awakens, all humans must join forces or they will surely perish."
"A holy and brave man will stop it. Let all men support that brave man."
It was an obvious lie. But somehow, even though it was a lie that could have been exposed by a child, it made everyone accept it as the truth.
Then, the Hero arrived at the non-existent Evil God.
Conflict between "humans" is a tragic cycle. One person is hurt, his relatives grieve, and seek revenge on the perpetrator. The perpetrator dies, his relatives grieve, and take revenge on the victim who became the perpetrator...
Like dominoes, once the first piece falls, there's no turning back.
Unfortunately, the first piece of the "human" has long since fallen.
Forget about resentment and live in peace.
It's just a beautiful thing, because the wounds of the victims are so deep and painful that others can't imagine.
So the tragedy just repeats itself, and repeats itself, and repeats itself, and repeats itself, and repeats itself, and repeats itself, and repeats itself, and repeats itself, and repeats itself...
"I want to stop that tragic cycle. "
We can only be united in the face of a common enemy.
"I've decided to become the enemy of humanity."
"Thanks to me, humans will no longer have the luxury of blaming each other and will fight me hand to hand..."
And then maybe they'll be able to forget their past hurts.
"But I know. I know I'm going to die, so my spirit, my mission, must go to the next me."
You are a piece of me, one of the countless pieces of me that I have broken apart thousands of years ago.
"My life is about to come to an end."
"Now, answer me."
"What do you think?"
At the Evil God's question, the boy recalled everything he had experienced on this long journey, and at the end of a long silence, the boy opened his mouth.
"I’m...
