《Hero? Again? No Way》Prologue

Prologue
In front me is a black dragon with lustrous scale covered around it’s body. A faint purple glow could be seen around the dragon body which emitted from it’s veins.
With the red glowing menacing eyes, the black dragon stares into my eyes with hatred and rage. From a distance, a human would saw that the dragon is actually pierced with a golden sword around it’s chest.
Haah….Why is this happening again…
“You…for a human to be able to injure the great me….”
Yes, yes. I already heard this similar sentence for countless times. Why did all dragons think human can’t injure them? And what’s up with the “great me”? You’re not even that great, you’re just a third-rate if compared to other dragons.
“For me, the great Black Purple Lightning Emperor to be injured by a puny human like you! This is such an utter humiliation!”
What the hell!? What kind of long title is that!? Black Purple Lightning Emperor!? Just call yourself with a classic title, “Black Dragon”! That’s much better and simple isn’t it!? Goddammit! This time’s dragon is so damn haughty!
“Why are you looking at me like that? Are you looking down on me!? This great Black Purple Lightning Emperor!? I can’t stand it anymore! I’ll show you the true power of this great Black Purple Lightning Emperor!!!”
“STOP WITH THAT ANNOYING TITLE YOU DAMNED COCKROACH!”
Ah.
“……..”
Oh my, I let my emotion out of control again. This is stupid. Aren’t I’ve been doing the same thing over again and again? I should be accustomed myself already with this kind of work.
Breathe in…..
Breathe out…..
Fuh…
“What did you just called me?”
This damn black matter, can’t you just let it go already? You’re going to die anyway.

“Cockroach? I’m a cockroach? This great Black Purple Lightning Emperor? You…..a puny insect human like you called me a cockroach!?”
Uh….yeah, I guess? Come on let just finish this already.
“Well, don’t mind that. Anyway let’s get thing done first, tell me the demon lord hiding place and we’ll wrap up quickly shall we?”
With an angelic smile ( Self-proclaim ), I tried to persuade this black matter as soft as I can. Just let me finish my work already, it’s time for a break you know.
“Y-you…..YOU!!!!! DO YOU THINK WITH YOUR PUNY STRENGTH YOU CAN DEFEAT ME!? I’LL SHOW YOU THIS GREAT BLACK PURPLE LIGHTNING EMPER-“
Before this damned black matter can even finish it’s sentence, I reach to the hilt of my sword and pull it out roughly. By the way I twist it a little so the flesh churned a little bit.
*Splechh*
“GRAURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!”
Uwah. That is so damn loud! I should bring an accessory that hold skill next time. Ugh…now the sword is reek of blood. I should wash it after this.
“K-krergh…w-what is that cursed thing!? Grurgh…y-you puny human!!!!”
There’s nothing with this sword alright? Of course it’s going to hurt if I pulled it out forcefully while twisting it. Does this black matter even have brain? Oh yeah, it’s a black matter of course it doesn’t.
“Enough chit-chat, come on, let me finish my work already. Tell me the demon king’s hiding place. I can’t finish my job without knowing it.”
Just let me kill that old man already, after that thing will go peacefully.
“I will never betray the lord! Even if you kill the great me, I’ll never sold the lord out!”
Sheesh, what a loyalty, for a black matter this is quite an accomplishment.

“How about this?”
I reach into my pocket and pull a small pouch from it. Then I slowly pull a disgustingly red purple worm which could be described as a raw muscle with veins pounding around it. This living creature is very horrendous and if used wisely, it is a good tool for making people spit out the secret.
“That’s-!?”
“As you can see, I have quite a lot of this red creature inside of this small pouch. Can you imagine what will happen if it goes inside your body?”
With a gentle smile ( Self-proclaim ) I show this red worm in front of this black matter. Even this thing should know about the red worm right? It’s quite popular in underground society.
“That is the Savagely Cruel Brain-Eating Worm huh? This great me, will never go down with that kind of creature!”
With my jaw dropped, I stare into this black matter. Since when did this simple red worm has that kind of name!? Just where the hell did you take that name from!? And why does it have to be something so damn long!?
“U-uh yeah it is the S-savagely Cruel Brain-Eating Worm.”
With a cracked tone, I go along with the flow. Maybe because of my astounded expression, the black matter started to act haughty and proud.
“HAHA! Do you seriously think you can threaten me with that thing!?”
Well obviously, for an ordinary red worm that is. But the one in my hands is a little bit different. With a nasty smile,
“Then shall we test it?”
***
In front of me is an old man with shining silver hair, wearing a ruby crown on the top of his head. Fully enveloped by aura of arrogance, he glares at me with animosity and rage. His bloodshot eye only shows the raging sea in his heart. But sadly, he doesn’t have the chance to let it out.
Why?
Because there already a golden sword stabbing at the heart of this demon. What a déjà vu.
*Snicker*
“How can this be….? All my plans….everything that I had calculated……”
A voice full of sorrow and melancholy come out from the demon’s mouth.
“What are you? You surely are a human with the amount of your magic and strength but…..your entity seems to be entirely unique…..”
With a confuse look, this demon looks at me hoping for an answer.
“Geezer, I am a total genuine human.”
Well that for sure, I am a genuine human.
“Then….how? How can you defeat an army consist of 10,000 elite soldier!? How can you defeat all five Duke rank demon!? How the hell did you kill The Dragon Emperor, Indra!? What matter the most is, YOU’RE COMPLETELY ALONE!!!!!!”
Heh, seems the dragon have much simple title after all. The answer is obvious.
“I use my brain.”
*Slash*
O, Humankind have you heard this story?
A man made full of flesh,
Despite being stabbed in the heart, he will still smile,
Despite being burned over all the body, he will still laugh,
Despite being smitten from head to toe, he will still move,
Despite being torn apart from all his body, he will still walk,
He is the one hated by the heaven itself,

8 136The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
