Chapter 83.
<Time to walk the story(Fast forward)>
The devil who came to kidnap Nisha had an excellent infiltration ability, but its fighting power was weaker than expected. I was able to kill it in one swing. Seeing the demon’s body slowly evaporate, I tried to say something to Nisha
[Intervening with the main story of the protagonist ‘Leskapi’.]
[Fast forwarding time.]
My surroundings distorted once again. Nisha’s voice gradually faded, and day and night began to pass quickly.
The sensation I felt right now was similar to when I was dimensional travel, but it was slightly better.
[Current time: May 30, 3021]
[Current location: Anwar Carmel Empire, Victorian chamber of archive.]
Checking the time, a year has passed since then. As I turned my body and looked behind, I saw 10 years old Nisha walking slowly, and when she found me, her shoulder shook. And then, a dark figure started wriggling right behind her.
It was a devil.
Without any hesitation, I swung my sword and defeated the devil.

[Current time: May 30, 3022]
[Current location: Anwar Carmel Empire, Garden of Aden]
The following year, Nisha just had her 11th birthday.
Even that day, without failure, I killed a devil that appeared around Nisha.
[Current Time: May 30th, 3023]
12 years old.
[Current Time: May 30, 3024]
13 years old.
[Current time: May 30, 3025]
14 years old.
[Current Time: May 30, 3026]
When it was Nisha’s 15th birthday, the devil was killed again.
And then,
[The episode ‘(Prologue) Princess was kidnapped’ will be changed.]
As the episode changed, this time, three years passed at once.
[Current Time: July 19, 3029]
[Current place: Anwar Carmel Empire, Snow White’s Podium]
[Intervening with the episode ‘Birth of a Warrior (1)’.]
* * *
It was the year Nisha Carmel turned 18.
‘I am looking for a hero to save the world!’
The Advent of Omega, the Demon King of Disaster.
The only one who could defeat him was a hero chosen by the gods by pulling the holy sword Youslet.
The only princess of the empire looked around the podium with a firm expression.
“Wowaaahhh!!!”
Tens of thousands of spectators gathered in all directions around the podium where the Holy sword Youslet, the symbol of the great Carmel Empire, which has passed through the hands of numerous heroes, resided.
‘Omega, the demon king of disaster, has awakened!’
It was a wise and quick judgment of the emperor to summon a hero, rather than despairing at the news. Even now, people were looking forward to the birth of a new hero.
That was how a thousand years old empire handled this matter.
However, it was such an absurd story that only a hero could oppose the demon. The same absurdity applied to the story of how the holy sword Youslet only responded to a hero.
‘I can’t understand it.’
Does the Holy Sword Youslet have something special? It was only a shinier and sharper sword than any other sword, that’s it. Nevertheless, only a warrior who could draw that sword can defeat the Demon King.
The reason why she couldn’t point out such an absurd tradition was because she had only lived for 20 years unlike the tradition which spanned over hundred years old.
“Woaaaahhh!!!”
“Caldex! Caldex!”
People cheered as a man climbed up the platform. The man, who is presumed to be a warrior and seemed to have gone through numerous wars, waved his hand towards the crowd as he walked toward the mysterious silver sword.
Eventually, he put his hand on the silver sword.
“Hiyyy–ah!”
…The silver swords didn’t budge, and the cheers gradually faded.
“Caldex wasn’t a hero either?”
“Nonsense. If Caldex-sama, who faced thousands of large forces alone, is not a hero, who the hell is…….”
Caldex came down from the platform, and before long, numerous warriors climbed to the platform, but none of them could pull the sword.
Nisha watched the warriors struggling to draw the sword with an indifferent look.
One after another.
And then, after the last warrior failed like any other warrior, someone with a familiar face walked up to the podium. It was a man who always made her shoulder tremble.
It was Yoo Seodam, a man who always appears in her dreams.
“…Something wrong, Nisha?”
“Ah….”
At the question of the emperor, Nisha came back to her senses and realized that she was standing. It was a rude act from her, but without any signs of worrying about it, she sat down again and watched Yoo Seodam.
‘So this is the holy sword Youslet.’
It was a pretty interesting story. The one who pulled the sword, became a warrior.
This was the beginning of the legend of Leskapi. This moment was supposed to be the moment where the hero Leskapi is born.
‘Then, if I pulled this sword first, the hero wouldn’t be born, right?’
That’s right. By pulling the sword in front of him, he would prevent the birth of a hero and at the same time the excessive probability he got from killing Dharma will be consumed.
Truly two birds in one stone.
<With the probability you currently have, you will be able to draw the sword.>
<To prevent the birth of the hero. It’s a really refreshing idea in my opinion.>
‘It was good.’
Anyway, it meant that he could finish the current storyline.
With that thought, Yoo Seodam slowly approached the sacred sword and pulled it.
Flash!
A pillar of light fell from the sky, and the divine sword, Yuslet, showed its splendor.
“Oh….oh my god!”
“It is the birth of a hero!”
[Sensing a change in the story of the protagonist Leskapi, ‘The Birth of a hero (3)’]
Cheers erupted. The pillars of light showered the protagonist like a spotlight to bless the protagonist of this world. Even the emperor stood up and clapped.
It was the birth of a new warrior! The beginning of a new history!
[Congratulations! You have been chosen as the hero of the Anwar Carmel Empire!]
[But you didn’t become a hero in a fair way!]
[Designated as a’ villain’ for stealing the protagonist’s property!]
It does not matter. Being a villain or whatever, anyway, he had become a hero. Seodam thought so and happily raised his sword high in the sky.
[…..A new episode ‘Second Holy Sword (1)’ occurs.]
?
<Second Holy Sword (1)>
In fact, no one knew but the Anwar Empire had two holy swords.
However, it had been sealed for more than thousands of years because it could only be picked by a true hero chosen by the heavens, a true hero amongst heroes. But it was revealed to the world by the hero ‘Leskapi’…
Uncover the truth behind the second holy sword!
?
Seodam couldn’t hide his absurd expression as he read the plot of the new story.
‘….Crazy!! How did it turn out like this?’
It was a sudden turn of events. The appearance of the second holy sword!
In the midst of it, Yoo Seodam figured blurred into light and disappeared with a dumbfounded look on his face.

[Current time: June 30, 3030]
[Current place: Camellisian, capital of the Anwar Carmel Empire]
* * *
Nisha recalled the day when she turned 9 years old. That day, a demon appeared and attacked her, but she was saved by a man.
‘What happened today is a nightmare.’
Also, people around her were telling her the same things.
‘Princess, what happened that night was just a nightmare.’
However Nisha knew, what happened that day wasn’t a nightmare but reality.
The only evidence, the devil’s body, evaporated once and for all, and the ‘man’, who saved her, as well as the only witness, disappeared immediately after, so no one believed Nisha’s words.
However, she believed in that ‘man’ who appeared every year on her own birthday. After that she always looked forward to her birthday to come instead of fearing the demons that would attack her.
But after her fifteenth birthday, the man no longer appeared. and Nisha tried to brush off their meetings as a midsummer’s night dream.
However, once again, the man appeared. He appeared in a place that blessed the emergence of a hero!
But,
‘That man is Satan!’
‘He’s an evil demon who stole the holy sword!’
The following year, Leskapi, a true warrior who found the legendary holy sword that had been sealed thousands of years ago, appeared and denied the existence of Yoo Seodam. At first, people were dubious about his claim. However the rumored fake hero didn’t show up to clear the misunderstanding. Eventually, the empire was furious at Yoo Seodam and tried to search for him in order to reclaim their Holy sword.
But Nisha still believed him.
How could a man who saved her and appeared in her childhood dreams be Satan?
But nobody listened to her. Nisha’s most trusted maids, knights and nobles, as well as even the emperor, sided with Leskapi.
‘You seem to be still dreaming.’
He said so to her.
She couldn’t believe it. It was as if this world revolved around Leskapi.
‘This isn’t it.’
Nisha shuddered as she looked at Leskapi’s eyes. It was a disgusting gaze that seemed to not see people as people. It was an unpleasant gaze as if licking her body. Nisha had never made eye contact with Leskapi, but unfortunately, when she first met him at the appointment ceremony, it seems like he really liked her.
‘If I return after defeating the Demon King, can I propose to the princess?’
In response, the emperor gladly gave permission.
Thump, Nisha felt like a lump of stones fell from her chest.
She hated it. She didn’t want to marry that terrible man. However, she knew he was the only hero in the world. Without him, the demon king couldn’t be defeated.
‘…If everyone could be happy at the expense of one person’s life… That would be enough.’
The coolest man in the world, the hero Leskapi.
Everyone in the world blessed Nisha Carmel for receiving his proposal.
The most wonderful hero in the world and the most beautiful princess meet!
But,
Nisha Carmel hated being treated as just the ‘most beautiful princess’. When in front of a hero, the title of ‘the strongest’, ‘the greatest’, and ‘the most courageous’ were added.
‘···no. It must be my fault. It’s my fault that I have been quietly living as a flower in a greenhouse.’
She slowly lowered her wooden sword. Her slender body was decorated with fine muscles and sweat trickled down her body .
On her palms, rough calluses could be found, unfitting of her title as a princess. It was a trace of her hardships, but no one in the world recognized Nisha Carmel as a Hero, she was just a princess.
“You are working hard.”
Nisha Carmel turned her head with a stiff expression as she heard a familiar voice.
Behind her, a man who always appeared in her dream at her birthday was looking at her.
“….long time no see.”
A black hair and white eyes.
Nisha Carmel smiled brightly as their eyes met with each other.
“This scammer. Everyone in the world hates you now.”
“I know, the atmosphere was bloody. My God, what the hell is the second holy sword?”
Nisha didn’t feel any sense of crisis from his careless answer. She put her wooden sword down and slowly approached him and stroked his cheek. She wanted to check whether it is a dream or not.
“You… haven’t changed the slightest since that day. It was as if you are someone who comes back from the future….”
Seodam responded cleverly.
“Sometimes when there is something exciting, time goes by quickly, right?”
“Hehe. Is that so?”
Nisha was still growing. She was nineteen this year. But she had a more mature and heavier atmosphere than any other adult.
“People said what you did back then for me was nothing but a dream.”
“It might be the case.”
“But it’s not. You appeared in front of me like this right now.”
As she said that, she pointed at the holy sword in Yoo Seodam’s hand.
“And… the divine sword is still shining. See, you must also be the hero whom the world chose.”
“Oh, this is….. Um… there are some circumstances. Should I say that it shines, but it has no effect? It’s just a little bit better than…”
Contrary to Nisha’s words, Seodam was having a mixed feeling about the holy sword.
He thought that if he pulled out the holy sword he could somehow interfere with the protagonist, but rather, it seemed like he had helped the protagonist.
Besides, Seodam couldn’t exert the true effect of the divine sword Youslet. That was because the system said that it wasn’t a problem of whether the probability was consumed or not, rather, the moment he activates the Holy swords, he could proceed to become the ‘protagonist’ of this world
“I’m quite troubled now… wait.”
An idea popped out of his mind while he looked alternately between the holy sword he couldn’t use, Nisha, a princess who had just finished practicing with her wooden sword, and the ether blade.
“Hey, have you ever held a sacred sword?”
“Euum? no. I am not qualified.”
“Is that so?”
One of the cliché in the story of the demon king and the hero was the trials that the demon king sent towards the hero. And by defeating those enemies, the hero would grow stronger.
The level of the trial would be something like this, Level 1 Miscellaneous Mobs, Level 2 Henchmen, Level 3 General, Level 4 Warlock, Level 5 Four Heavenly King, and Lastly Demon King himself.
In the course of the long ordeal where no forces intervened, the hero gains the power to defeat the Demon King while the Demon King regains his sealed power.
In other words, the Devil of Disaster Omega, which he saw 50 years in the future wasn’t here yet,
Only then did Yoo Seodam realize why this world was destroyed, and when he tried to say something…
“This is just….”
Suddenly, the knights rushed to the training ground.
“Th, that way!!! I saw Satan approaching the princess!”
A woman pointed her hand towards where Yoo Seodam and Nista stood. Behind her, hundreds of knights were running with determination to protect the princess and to punish Satan who stole the sacred sword.
Looking at the sight.
Yoo Seodam laughed, then he wrapped her hand around Nisha’s waist, lifting her into the air and screamed.
“Hahaha! The princess will be taken by the demon of rice cake soup, Yoo Seodam! If you want to save her, come to her devil’s castle within a week!”
