《Night Ranger》Chapter 562. Hero's Heart
Advertisement
Facing Marvin's questions, Lance thought for a while before slowly replying, "You have too many questions… Let me answer them one by one."
"First, let me tell you that I'm merely a fragment of one of your memories. Even if I know many things, I am still not Lance himself. My body, my will, everything is tinged by your perceptions of me. As for the real Lance, I cannot tell exactly what he is thinking."
Lance's words were very strange. Marvin felt that this wasn't the sort of conversation any sane person would have.
A person chatting with his own memory... That was quite exaggerated.
But the memory clearly had its own sentience. Lance began to answer to Marvin's questions.
"First question."
"Your transmigration was definitely arranged by me, just like the game which was brought to Earth."
"Don't ask why so fast," he quickly added before Marvin could cut in. Lance apparently noticed Marvin's eagerness and smiled. "I'll keep answering the rest of your questions first."
"Feinan Continent is very real. It is a world I created, one very closely related to me, and it will live and die with me."
"As for who I am? This question is very complicated. In short, I am Feinan's God of Creation, and at the same time, I am also someone from Earth. But of course, not someone from your era."
"And the last question. Why you? A good question to ask."
Lance quickly explained, "I spread to Earth as a game in order to correct a mistake. A mistake that I cannot correct myself, because I created that mistake in the first place. Because of this, no matter what efforts I put in to ameliorate the situation, it was all in vain. I needed an external variable to change the course of what would happen in this world, and thus I thought of Earth."
"This is very simple logic. Anyone who meets challenges they cannot overcome and end up with lots of time to ponder would think of their homeland, wouldn't they?"

Marvin nodded.
After confirming that Lance was someone from Earth, he felt a bit weird.
In Feinan, everyone regarded him as the greatest God. Hearing the name, mortals would shake and Gods would kneel.
But that person actually originated from Earth?!
It had to be known that there was still no person or technology powerful enough to create an entire world!
Earth had already stepped into the Galactic Era, and it was also the Era of Superheroes.
But from what Marvin knew, even these A-level and S-level Superheroes were far from the Gods of Feinan, let alone Wizard God Lance.
However, he didn't ask more about that. Most of all, he was thirsting to know why Lance chose him from among the innumerable players.
He'd had countless guesses before about whether his transmigration was related to Lance, but he now finally had the confirmation.
Only the question of "why" remained.
"Why me?!"
Marvin stared fixedly at Lance.
Lance was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, "Because you are the one with the most 'thirst', aren't you?"
Marvin opened his mouth, his lips quivering, but he didn't let out any sound.
Lance wasn't wrong; he had been thirsting for change.
He didn't want to become a God Slayer, a Hero, or even an actual God in just a video game!
Regardless of how much pride, money, or attention it could bring him, in his heart, Marvin only considered the game as a way to support himself.
Ever since he was a child, he would always go all-out in everything he did.
His incredible memory and battle awareness were fully displayed in the game. This was why he was able to become one of the players that could create storms everywhere he went.
But his talents could have been used to do many more things!
He should have become a Hero!
Actually, he had succeeded in becoming one.
Before that disaster befell him, he and his best friend Xu Qing successfully passed the Heaven Shield examination, the test of the Federation's highest administrative bureau, and became registered as Heroes under assessment.

He was the gifted among the gifted.
He had boundless future prospects.
But, misfortune soon struck.
During a disastrous mission, Marvin managed to cling to life by relying on his ingenuity and his thirst for survival, but he lost his Superhero abilities, and far more beyond that.
Only his brain was left undamaged. Even his spine was fractured!
Even in this era, the field of medicine was at a point where it was only able to guarantee Marvin's survival, but not help him recover his past ability.
He could only watch as it all left him behind: his beloved girlfriend, his former partner, and the life he yearned for.
The only place where he could feel mighty and prideful was in the game. Whenever he left the game capsule, he could only look at the outstanding services done by Xu Qing, He Dongning, or the other Heaven Shield members in the news.
They became this era's most sparkling stars.
And the youth who had once been above them could only clench his teeth. Occasionally, some newspapers would mention Marvin, the one who had been even more talented, and he couldn't help but sigh.
He was unwilling.
He still had his pride.
He still had his thirst.
There was no one on Earth that thirsted for a chance to come back more than he did, a chance to return to his peak once again!
He had sworn to himself that if Heaven gave him a second chance, he would grab onto it tightly and never let go.
Heaven didn't have that power. But the Wizard God did.
Thus, something unexpected happened and Marvin transmigrated.
He blended into Feinan in no time at all, forgot his previous suffering, and grabbed every opportunity to become stronger!
The people around him were always amazed as to how much effort Marvin was putting in. As an Overlord, he could just sit back and rest easy, but Marvin seemed to have an abnormal thirst to improve himself!
He would always run about, never stopping to rest. He didn't even have time to get into romantic relationships like those main characters from novels, starting harems and whatnot.
The only one that could be considered as such was Hathaway, and that was because of the unique events they went through together.
But it was this abnormal dedication that allowed Marvin to keep on going up until now!
...
"It's that simple," Lance said with a smile. "Often, when your level of power is insufficient, you won't be able to understand many things."
"If you can reach my level, you'll discover how easy it is to get someone from Earth into Feinan… Even though I've only done it once."
"Why is it you? Because only you are qualified."
"The nature of humans won't change. Lazy people would still be lazy after rebirth. Narrow-minded people would also be limited by their own mental and social regulations after getting to another world. Ordinary people would just live their lives out. Transmigrators who know the future would make use of it for their own benefits, wouldn't they? But I can assure you that most people, even if they obtained the same treatment as you, would fail."
"Because you are the most suitable."
"The strength of one's heart has always been more powerful than the help of external forces."
"You have a Hero's heart. You can walk today with glorious success, relying not only on the information I gave you, but the strength of your heart."
"There is no need to doubt. Regardless of which world we're talking about, this is the most important part." Lance's voice was becoming weaker, but his tone was growing more resolute.

When Plush comes to Shove
An: So the last synopsis wasn’t really all that good, it was just some mumbo jumbo with no actual point to it so I decided to make a new one that’s a bit more accurate. Leo Lush, just your average everyday (slightly chubby) schmuck, or at least he would be if he didn’t carry around a stuffed toy everywhere he went.I mean, he was a man who could read the atmosphere a bit so put it away in his bag whenever having a stuffed toy out would be rude but other than that he brought it with him all the time, it was a memento from his girlfriend who had died three years ago and keeping it close made him feel better. That’s also why his classmates gave him the nickname “Plush”, though that's neither here nor there. One day at the train station he’d lost his dearest stuffed toy, one of his classmates found it and lobbed it towards him, something that they’d already done many times before, but this time something went wrong and Leo found himself falling in front of the train due to the force of the throw. Now follow Leo as the spirit that developed in his stuffed toy and killed him forces his ghost into another world to possess a different stuffed toy. He doesn’t know much about the world or why he’s there but what he does know is that according to a magic book his girlfriend was also sent to this very world when she died in a plane accident three years ago. An: For those who want to know a bit more about what kind of story this will be: I want it to be a chill feel-good story and stay as far away from those despair-fest stories as possible (No offense to people who enjoy them, I’m just not one of you)Let me make something clear; I’m not writing this story with hope of it becoming really top tier among RRL (Though it did get above rank 500 once which I’m still very proud of even though it’s gone back down to ~850 at the time of writing this) I just want to write a story that I would enjoy reading, that’s why I’ll be mostly skipping over a lot of the parts that I skip when I read other stories, such as stats, the exact value of money and other such precise statistics that no one(as far as I’m aware) really cares about all that much. Just feels like a lot of effort for something superfluous.There’s a single exception and that’s one of the battles, it’s not a despair-fest or anything but it’s got a different feel than the rest of the story due to me being in a funky mood while I was writing it.
