Reincarnated Hero System

It was safe to say that for a moment, everyone who heard Darfin's words went silent as their brains computed the meaning of his statement.

And then, came the storm of reactions.

"What's going on here?"

"Eliminate Hero Evan?"

"They wanted to kill the Irregular guy?!"

"Who's Hero Evan?"

"Isn't he that guy they said destroyed a mountain last week?"

"The one from Lacertilia?"

"Osmaoque? I know that Country."

"Am I the only one wondering why he was in Obrita in the first place?"

"Ha! Serves him right."

"Evan Eris is the one from that Undead fiasco of last year, right?"

"Why is a Knight Commander trying to kill a Hero?"

"How are Zoskye and Goshya involved?"

"He's been poking his nose in other country's business too much."

"Wait, that's why the whole mountain range got wrecked?"

"You sure this Knight Commander isn't being threatened?"

"I thought so too, he looks scared."

"Scared he got caught!"

"Yeah, they tried to kill him and got their asses handed to them."

"Where are the other two?"

"Probably dead."

Regardless of people's reactions, the video continued and Darfin explained everything from the beginning when they tried to lure Evan out of Obrita using the lives of Wolfen civilians as hostages.

There were a variety of reactions from people across the continent, both positive, negative and neutral.

This was natural, as not everyone liked Evan, and not everyone cared about what a guy in a country on the other side of the continent was doing.

But it was safe to say that the majority of the reactions were the kind Evan wanted.

When the video was done, the continent went wild.

Radio stations began broadcasting this new juicy gossip/super important international news, and soon, even cities and towns that did not have projections put up were made aware of it.

Newspaper companies churned out emergency prints and began spreading the story even further.

Adventurers who were moving across the continent, from city to city through teleportation waypoints carried the story to their destinations.

News agencies called their Wolfen contacts to verify the information and pictures of the Rahead mountains began spreading.

The Government of Obrita was suddenly faced with international pressure from big nations like the GEE and Tarse, with even the Beast Kingdom's Sovereigns showing up to verify this sudden news.

They quickly keeled and revealed everything they knew, including videos of the battlefield they had taken from afar when Evan was still fighting.

As Gavin said, News about Evan was currently 'hot cake' and everyone wanted to be the first to carry the news.

His stunt of destroying one of the Cudjour mountains was still fresh in everyone's minds, and when the story of the assassination attempt spread, most had a reaction that was along the lines of 'They're already trying to kill him?'.

It wasn't as though Evan was the first to ever destroy a mountain on Aidos. Pretty much every Epic Level existence worth their salt could do the same.

Non-combatants included.

The minimum amount of energy required to break the Grandmaster Level barrier and become an Epic was enough to at least flatten one average-sized mountain.

What made Evan's feat blow up, was the fact that the boy was the first 14-year-old Superior Grandmaster to ever do so.

Heck, he was the first 14-year-old Superior Grandmaster in current History so anything he did was bound to make waves.

It was around 2 pm when the video ended, and by sunset, the whole continent was aware of the matter.

July 17th

Year 1053

"This has been one hell of a day."

Evan muttered to himself as he walked up the stairs and headed towards the master bedroom of the Mansion.

He had just unleashed thousands of spirits on the three countries responsible and was expecting to see results by morning.

He also had meetings with Laurene and David, as well as Beast King Kolvar on how to proceed with the next phase of his plan.

By morning, the three countries were definitely going to release their statements to deny the allegations and Evan had his replies prepared for whatever bullshit they wanted to pull.

Looking at his watch, he saw it was 11:57 pm and he glanced at the clock on his chest, noting that the countdown only had 3 minutes left.

He took deep breaths as he opened the room door, only to have Eliza appear from around the hallway corner.

The girl was about to rush up to him but she stopped and narrowed her eyes. When he traced her gaze, he noticed she was looking right at the magic circle around his chest.

"Wait…you can see this?"

"…am I not supposed to?"

"You weren't."

Evan had not noticed but the magic circle's invisibility had worn off when he had 5 minutes left.

Eliza could not deny she was surprised, confused and a bit scared when she saw the magic circle with 7 distinct rings around it.

The girl's knowledge of magic held Tier 6 at its peak, Tier 7 was something she had never seen or heard of and yet here it was on Evan's chest.

"That clock…"

"It's how long I have till my heart begins healing which isn't very long anymore."

Evan replied as he walked into the room and plopped down on the bed, yawning lightly as he spoke.

"Wake me up when it's time for breakfast."

Right after he spoke those words, he fell asleep, even before the magic circle's countdown ran out.

His contracted Demons and Spirits came in right after, and they were met with the sight of the Tier 7 Magic circle activating.

The rings spun around and the Illusory clock reset itself, before beginning to rewind as the blood-pumping organ in Evan's chest began reappearing.

[Tier 7?! How did Master get his hands on such a thing!?]

Kayla's reaction was one of shock, and though Kuro and Roselia did not show it, they were also shocked.

'Is this the special means he had? A lower existence cannot use Tier 7 Time Magic, so was it that goddess who did it?'

Roselia was not unfamiliar with Tier 7 Magic, as she had seen it time without number during the years she spent with former Demon King Alvey.

And it was precisely because of her knowledge about it that she was shocked to see it here.

Within minutes, they all began to hear two loud heartbeats ringing out one after another, and soon the two heartbeats synchronized so perfectly that they could only hear one no matter how much they strained their superhuman hearing.

This perfect synchronization was one of the reasons why no one had noticed Evan gaining a second heart. The other was the fact that after his Human Heart was restored, even Eliza who was scanning his body for abnormalities could barely detect the Dragon Heart.

If she wasn't already aware of its presence, then she might have missed it!

Slowly, the loud heartbeat subsided and Evan's even breaths showed that the boy was now just sleeping.

The Tier 7 magic circle disappeared and afterwards, a notification showed up in front of Eliza's field of vision.

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' says "You're Welcome".]

The girl's lips twisted downwards when she saw this. The fact that Evan's heart had not been healed for the past few hours was a constant source of anxiety for her and she understood that if Evan did not have the EOTD's magic, then she would have had no choice but to heal his heart and forgo his arm.

The boy was not from a race with regenerative abilities which could let him regrow his entire arm, so chances of him recovering it after were low.

She was filled with a sense of powerlessness and sensing her emotions, Roselia spoke.

"Don't beat yourself up over it. Channel those emotions into your desire to get stronger. We both know this would NOT be the last time Evan would need you to patch him up.

So get stronger and better to the point where you would not need to rely on unknown powers."

After saying her piece, Roselia left the room and Nadarus trailed behind her.

"Sister, are you going to-"

"Yes. I have postponed it for too long."

Roselia answered before Nadarus could even finish talking as she already knew what he wanted to ask her about.

"I was dealing with it when Evan suddenly contacted me. Now that he's fine, I'm returning."

The High Demon spoke as she twirled a white key around her fingers. Anyone who looked at it would sense an enormous amount of light magic, the kind a Demon like her should not be going anywhere near.

However, Roselia handled this key like it was an ordinary piece of metal, as the Light Magic did not affect her.

'Alvey really favoured Elder Sister…if I touch that thing I'm sure it'd burn my arm to ashes in an instant.'

Nadarus thought as he kept some distance away from Roselia, out of fear of that key accidentally slipping off her fingers and falling on him.

The magic of a 'Demon King' was strong enough that it could wound him greatly even if it wasn't used to attack.

'Still, to think that sister had hidden one of Alvey's artifacts on this world…'

Nadarus sighed and shook his head as he thought of Roselia's actions.

It was no secret in Gozon that Roselia did not like Ginaroad Sargon and the only reason she had conducted the Coronation Ceremony was due to orders from Alvey.

The High Demon had custody of a lot of artifacts which belonged to Alvey and she hid them in secret places on Various planets.

One of said Artifacts, was hidden here on Aidos, and the key in her hands was the key to unlocking the spatial seal.

Alvey Sargon was a Spatial Magic expert and besides 'Aidos' and Artemisia, no one had known that something was sealed on this planet with his spatial power.

The particular Artifact that was sealed on Aidos, was Alvey's 'Magic Catalyst': the 'Book of Lumière'.

"Why are you unsealing it now of all times?"

"I've finally recovered enough strength to be able to use a portion of that thing's power. And with Evan's next plans concerning 'Fallen Celestial Deities', I have a feeling we're going to need this."

With those words, Roselia stepped into the Waypoint in Evan's basement and after a short flash of light, she and Nadarus were gone from the city.
