It's so hard being a hero!

It's so hard being a hero!

Summary:

【tangerine】

Su Lan was twice summoned by the god of fate and reborn into a fantasy world of swords and magic, becoming a hero of the Starfall Continent, tasked with defeating the witch of desire.

He failed the first time and was erased from his memory, returning to Earth.

More than a decade later, at the age of 30, he was summoned again, and his previous memories returned.

But this time, he didn't want to go; he had died too tragically last time.

Not to mention this time, he's returning as a female hero.

I've turned into a woman? How am I supposed to flirt with girls now?

Okay, so the reason he couldn't beat her last time was because the Witch of Desire had a huge special attack effect on males, so the God of Fate turned him into a woman.

Why not just choose a woman?

The God of Fate: "Eh, this is a complicated issue."

Me: "Bullshit, I swear I'll never submit, I swear I'll never be a woman, I'll lie flat even if I go."

Unfortunately, I still went.

Thus, a stubborn female hero was born, but from birth she was determined to be a man, causing her friends to all think she was a man and to call her brother.

And how will she face her former companions, girlfriends, and daughter?

Ugh! This is so hard for me.

Chapter 1 The Hero Who Was Conscripted a Second Time

After Su Lan was killed by Lilith, her soul fell into a white, desolate place.

This place seems to be a world of light, yet also a world of nothingness.

After arriving here, his consciousness, which had been trapped in darkness, gradually returned to normal.

"Where am I? Am I dead?"

These were Su Lan's first words after waking up.

But immediately, a series of memories surfaced in his mind, confirming his doubts.

Yes, he did die, and he died a very miserable death.

It can be said that they were literally drained of their life force and died.

The thought of being defeated by Lilith and imprisoned for three months filled Su Lan with anger and rage.

He closed his eyes, trying to forget those shameful and terrible memories.

However, in this place, memories play like a movie, over and over again, as if mocking his failure.

Just as he was feeling down, a clear, ethereal female voice suddenly rang out in the space.

"Su Lan, you have failed."

Su Lan was taken aback; he recognized the voice.

It is the god of fate.

"Yes, I failed."

Su Lan responded with great frustration.

More than 30 years ago, it was this person who pulled him from Earth to the Starfall Continent.

Then tell him that he will be the eighth generation hero of Starfall Continent.

They say he is the savior, shouldering the mission of defeating the evil god and saving the world.

He had just turned 18 that year, graduated from high school, and was at the peak of his teenage angst.

So when he heard that he could become a hero and travel to another world, he was immediately excited and agreed without thinking.

Because at that time, he really found reading boring.

There's nothing we can do; that's just how it is at that rebellious age.

He struggled on the Starfall Continent for more than 30 years, gradually growing into a Saint Realm powerhouse who could stand before the Evil God.

During this time, he experienced many life-or-death battles, witnessed the darkest side of human nature, made many friends, and had people he cared about.

But in the end, he failed, lost completely, and everything came to naught.

"Su Lan, the eighth generation hero, I am now formally informing you."

"You unfortunately died in the battle against Lilith. As agreed, I will fulfill my promise."

"Huh? A promise?"

Su Lan frowned and thought for a moment, but then he remembered.

When he signed the contract, the goddess of fate made a promise:

That is, if he dies on Starfall Continent, his soul will be sent back to his original world, back to the point in time before he was summoned, so that he can continue his original life.

But he will forget everything he experienced on Starfall Continent.

At the time, he felt that this method was useless, so how could he have failed?

But as it turns out, even the brave can lose.

"Go back, go back to your ordinary life," said the God of Fate.

"Hey, wait a minute, could you...?"

Su Lan still had something to say, but the other party didn't give him the chance, and his consciousness became blurred, once again swallowed by darkness.

"Frei".

He called out someone's name.

Immediately afterwards, all memories of the Starfall Continent were blown away by the wind like grains of sand.

There are a few people he doesn't want to forget.

So instinctively, I reached out, wanting to grab them.

But the next second, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He was stunned.

Because at that moment he was lying on his bed in the bedroom.

The air was thick with heat, and the familiar chirping of cicadas filled the air.

He stood up blankly and looked around.

"A dream?"

He felt as if he had a very, very long dream.

But I can't remember anything about the dream.

He seemed to have lost something very important.

He glanced at his phone on the bedside table.

2014年7月15日下午2时30分。

This time was the day Su Lan was conscripted.

But this time nothing happened.

At that time, he was just an 18-year-old boy who had just finished the college entrance examination and was lying down at home.

Su Lan scratched her head, trying to shake off the inexplicable sense of unreality, then got out of bed and went to the refrigerator to get a Coke.

Days passed by like this.

He soon entered an ordinary university and even had a relationship, but they broke up quickly.

After graduation, he found an ordinary job; everything about him was ordinary.

He wasn't a big shot, nor did he save the world; he was just an ordinary working man.

But sometimes he would stare at the ceiling late at night and think: Is something missing from my life?

And so, the days passed by, and he turned 30.

On his 30th birthday, with a full beard, he stayed alone in his rented room, lit a cake and candles, and made a wish by candlelight.

"God, please add some color to my life. I don't want to live such a mediocre life. Please."

However, just after he made his wish, something unexpected happened: the room suddenly began to shake.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light descended from the sky and landed on him.

Su Lan was enveloped in golden light, and his body floated upward as if weightless. This feeling seemed familiar; he seemed to have had a similar experience before.

"The Eighth Generation Hero, Su Lan".

The familiar woman's voice rang in his mind once again, just as it had twelve years ago, leaving no room for doubt.

"The situation on Starfall Continent is getting worse, and the power of the Witch of Desire is growing once again. According to Article 7, Section 3 of the contract, you will be summoned again to stop Lilith from devouring Starfall Continent."

"Huh? Wait a minute."

Su Lan flailed her arms and legs in the air, trying to grab onto something to stop herself from rising.

"What hero? What contract? What are you talking about?"

Su Lan looked completely bewildered.

"Alright, I'll restore all your memories from when you were drafted last time."

Upon hearing this, Su Lan suddenly froze, as memories sealed for over a decade were unlocked.

He remembered.
