BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55 This World Is Doomed!
Hearing Simon\'s question, the system didn\'t know what to reply to that.
[…]
[Sure.]
[But the chosen one shouldn\'t forget to save the world.]
"Yes, yes, yes. I won\'t forget."
Simon waved his hand and shrugged off the system\'s nagging. In truth, he didn\'t care much about what the system was saying.
He was kind to the world, but the world wasn\'t kind to him. He saved the world, but no one saved him when he needed it the most.
In other words, he didn\'t want to become a hero.
But even so, he still needed to ask an important question to the hero system which would decide his future.
"System, are the quests mandatory to be completed or can I choose not to complete them?"
Although Simon asked that question as if he didn\'t care about the system\'s response, deep down inside, he wished that the system\'s response wasn\'t the worst that he had expected it to be.
[No, it\'s not mandatory. The chosen one can choose whether to accept or reject the quest.]
[But please, when the world needs your help, do respond to it and save the world. If you don\'t, no one will.]
"Phew, fortunately, I can choose not to accept the quests."
"As for saving the world, aren\'t you mistaken about that? Why do you say that if I don\'t, no one will? I literally have fifteen other classmates that have been summoned into this world as a hero."
Simon was confused about why the system wanted him to save the world when others could do it instead of him. Although he was glad that his freedom was secured, he still didn\'t know why the system was desperate to make him a hero and let him save the world instead of giving that responsibility to the other heroes.
[The system doesn\'t trust that they are kind and heroic enough to save the world. Each of those heroes you mentioned has hidden motives regarding the power that has been bestowed on them.]
"I… I can\'t disagree with that."
Simon was baffled by the system\'s response. He knew his classmates\' personalities very well and similar to the system, he also doesn\'t trust that they would save the world.
The homeroom representative or their class leader was the acting leader in their hero party. He was the strongest in their class. Or at least, he was the current strongest and since a few of his classmates hadn\'t shown their true power yet, the title of the class representative being the strongest wasn\'t that legitimate.
For example, Simon hadn\'t shown his true power yet as well as a few of his classmates such as the Book Hero, Scythe Hero, and Luck Hero.
But since Simon and the few heroes who didn\'t reveal their full power didn\'t disagree with the class representative being the strongest, the class representative managed to lead the class while proclaiming himself as the "strongest".
Their class representative was the Sword Hero. And Simon didn\'t like the Sword Hero because he was hypocritical.
"Sigh, maybe the system is right. If that Sword Hero was left to lead the class, without a doubt, he would be used by the king and those corrupt officials. And it seems that the king and the pope are having success in manipulating the Sword Hero."
Simon tiredly sighed as he lay on the soft grassy ground. With the corpse of the bunny girl and the adult hunter near him, Simon ignored those corpses and lay peacefully on the ground.
Simon gazed at the countless stars that shone on the night sky while marveling at the eye-catching double moon in the sky.
"I don\'t want to deal with the political bullshit."
Simon complained as this was the reason why he went outside at night. It was to calm his thoughts after being holed up in his room.
"To be honest, the demon and the human race aren\'t that much different from each other."
"The demons enslave, the humans also did. The demons committed crimes, and the humans also did. The demons are sinful, the humans also are."
"I guess the reason why the demons are the baddies while the humans are the goodies is that the humans are hypocrites who loved to paint themselves as saints. Aside from that, the goddess of this world supports the human race instead of the demon race."
Now that Simon thought of it, the world of Fantasia was very fucked up.
He now realized why the heroes were summoned. The world of Fantasia needed a hero.
If it was before, Simon would be naive and delusional enough to think that he could save the world.
But after becoming the Reincarnation Hero, Simon no longer wanted to become a hero. Nothing good came from being a hero.
Rather than making himself suffer by becoming a hero, wouldn\'t it be better for him to escape from his responsibilities as a hero and start a harem or something?
Whatever his choice would be, it would be better than becoming a hero.
"Hmm… A few of my classmates might agree with my plan of deserting from the Alister Kingdom."
"From what I have noticed, the one who hates becoming a hero the most should be the Book Hero. But since he still needed the kingdom\'s royal library, aside from his initial outburst of disobedience, he obeyed the king and pope afterward. But like me, he is also a shut-in."
"As for the Luck Hero, I don\'t know what to say about him. That guy only wants to entertain himself and he loves testing the extent of his luck. He is a death seeker and a somewhat unreliable companion."
"The Scythe Hero doesn\'t talk much and likes to work alone. I think she doesn\'t like the prospect of being a hero since she didn\'t want to attract attention but also doesn\'t hate it to the point of rebelling against the Alister Kingdom."
When Simon recalled the oddballs in their class, he shook his head and sighed again.
Aside from those weirdos, there were also other dysfunctional heroes in his class.
Lifting himself from the ground, Simon stored the Holy Sword Of Valor back in his system inventory as he could care less about it and went back to the house assigned to him with a thought in his mind.
\'This world is doomed! No way my classmates are hero material!\'
\'They might as well do a better job in being the demon lord\'s generals!\'
