Is this Hero for Real?

d to your hand?!”

 

Her left hand was gone.

 

Her pretty, fair hand that was nothing like a mercenary’s was gone and was tightly 

bandaged to stop the bleeding.

 

She hid her left arm to the side and said, “I made a mistake.”

 

“Because of me…?”

 

“No.
I lost it because I let my guard down and looked elsewhere, so there’s no need to 

blame yourself.”

 

“…”

 

That couldn’t be.

 

Even Oh Hanwoo knew how to read the room.

 

She must have lost it while trying to protect him and fight at the same time.

 

[Special]

 

He wasn’t like the main character at all.

 

It was pretty common for the main character to get help from a beautiful girl at the 

beginning when he was weak, but at most, the damage would be her clothes ripping.

 

And even then, he would cover where her clothes ripped and ask, “did you see that?” 

and move on.

 

But this…

 

“It’s common.
Countless mercenaries retire like this.
I’m just retiring a little early 

because I was unlucky.”

 

“What?! This doesn’t make sense! I’m the main character?!”

 

“Sir Oh Hanwoo…?”

 

“W-wait a minute.
There must be a way to treat your hand! Using my blessing… damn it! 

I’ll acquire a blessing to solve this soon.
This doesn’t make any sense otherwise!”

 

“…I’m happy enough with you being sad for me.”

 

“Happy?! How can you be so…!”

 

“It was my mistake, so please don’t blame yourself.”

 

“…”

 

‘She’s not holding the boy who ruined her life responsible?’

 

[Special]

 

The blessing’s effect didn’t make him happy.

 

Calling the girl strong would be an understatement, and Oh Hanwoo felt like he’d go 

crazy listening to her.

 

[A certain god of wind falls off their cloud from laughing.]

 

[A certain immature god of dice asks how you’re feeling.]

 

[A certain god gives a thumbs up.]

 

The gods were gleeful, even in a serious situation like that.

 

“Stop laughing! Is this funny to you?”

 

[A certain god is displeased by you lashing out.]

 

[A certain god decides to teach you a quick lesson.]

 

“What?! Wait! Just wait…!”

 

Oh Hanwoo tried to clear the air after yelling at the Gods in a spurt of anger, but it was 

too late.

 

[Name] Oh Hanwoo

[Level] 1

[Blessings] Hero F, Special F, Mercenary F

[Curses] See Through F

[Dividend] 2.55

 

Without a moment for him to beg for forgiveness, there was a curse added to his status 

window. 

 

It was an effect that would have been incredible in all sorts of ways if it was a blessing.

 

[See Through]

 

> You are unable to take a peek, even if there are no physical barriers!

 

> The chances of your weaknesses or secrets getting revealed increases significantly.

 

It was from then on…

 

Oh Hanwoo saw the beautiful girl’s breasts and bottom through a slightly foggy cloud as if it was censored.

 

‘…Did my eyesight get worse?’

 

Is what he thought for a moment, but her bittersweet face and surroundings all looked 

clear.

 

“O-oh my god…”

 

This curse was too cruel for a vigorous young boy!

 

But he couldn’t complain.
If he did, there would only be another curse.

 

Holding down his anger, hero Oh Hanwoo remembered a more important problem.

 

‘There must be a way… oh!’

 

“Sir Oh Hanwoo.
Now that you’re awake, go back to a safe city for now.
If the gnolls 

come back, I can’t promise you’ll live through it next time.”

 

“Okay, and it’s not too late to lose hope.”

 

“Of course, since I’m still alive…”

 

“No! I didn’t mean it in such a depressing way! If you go to the city temple and ask the 

Saintess, she can restore your lost hand!”

 

The solution Oh Hanwoo thought of was using the Saintess who could revive the dead.

 

But the girl’s face didn’t light up at all.

 

“That will be difficult.
The Saintess doesn’t do anyone favors.”

 

“Don’t worry about that.”

 

“I’m not in the mood for jokes…”

 

“I’m also serious.
This is a matter of your life, after all.”

 

“…”

 

Oh Hanwoo was sure he could change this crisis into an opportunity.

 

“I sincerely apologize for hiding my true identity this whole time.”

 

“Your true identity?”

 

“I’m a legendary hero.
And you are the hero’s comrade.
The Saintess will treat you at all 

costs!”

 

***

 

The orcs’ armor was quite sturdy compared to the gnolls.

 

It looked silly, like an adult in children’s clothing, but they could pass off as a human if it 

wasn’t for their face and skin. 

 

And… of course…

 

“What the hell is this pig?!”

 

“Block him if you have the time to ask!”

 

“What? You try blocking him!”

 

The way I saw it, orcs and gnolls weren’t very different in terms of force required.

 

It took around the same amount of time for the strong force of the blue dagger to cut 

open their stomachs.

 

The demon had lied to me.

 

“Do you not have any respect for the dead?! Orcs are stronger than gnolls.
Don’t treat 

them the same!”

 

“Respect, my ass.”

 

Unlike the gnolls who took a while to give up, I could get rid of every single orc thanks to 

them abandoning their companions and running away as soon as they knew they had 

the shorter end of the stick.

 

They were more annoying than the gnolls, for sure.

 

Stab-

 

“Oiiink~?!”

 

I wiped off the blood on the blue dagger from the last orc that went down while screaming its pig throat out.

 

I turned around and looked at demon Kogmos, who only sat back and watched that 

whole time.

 

“Hey.
If you’re accompanying me, shouldn’t you at least help… huh?”

 

Flare flare~

 

The demon’s bottom half was engulfed in white flames, quickly burning like a dry 

firewood.

 

‘Isn’t that dangerous?’

 

Demon Kogmos spoke in a low voice with all the blood washed out from his face.

 

“L-look up at the sky.”

 

“The sky? Woah…”

 

At first, I thought it was an airplane, but that couldn’t be, this was a fantasy world.

 

It was a white dragon.

 

It was a fantasy creature with the body of a lizard and three pairs of wings.

 

“The Saintess is on there.”

 

“The Saintess?”

 

“As expected from humanity’s greatest weapon.
I can’t believe she saw me from up 

there and hit me perfectly… kirk! I was lucky.
No, since I saw one of the two Saintesses 

in the entire world, does that make me unlucky…?”

 

“Ha~”

 

The white dragon carrying the evil goddess’s pawn disappeared into the air.

 

‘Where did she go?’

 

“It’s the direction of the fairy kingdom.
If it’s bad enough for the Saintess to take action, it 

can’t be a small problem…”

 

“How about you worry about yourself first?”

 

If he was a human, he’d be dead by the time his bottom half was burnt and gone.

 

“…”

 

“Talk.
Are you dead?”

 

“Carry me.”

 

“…”

 

“Don’t look at me like that! I don’t want to be carried by an inferior human either, but I 

can’t heal a wound from a holy flame quickly.”

 

“Goddamnit…”

 

‘I’ll pay back the Saintess for this shame and humiliation someday.’
