Chapter 113 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is the Hero, the Half Is XXX
‘As Yeonmae said, you will not rely on talent, but will train your loyalty according to my orders.’
And besides, it would be much more convenient for Eugene to use Genos for a better future according to the original knowledge.
If Genos had not been Eugene’s slave, she would have had to make efforts to make Eugene understand his judgment, which she could not understand.
No, since he was possessed by Stral’s body in the first place, there was a possibility that he would suspect Eugene and reject him even if he heard about the settings Eugene had created.
However, as she is now a slave to Eugene, there is no need for Eugene to persuade her, and she cannot reject Eugene. In this way, she grows faithfully as Eugene wants, becoming a tool to kill the devil.
‘It will be easy to train.’
If Genos had maintained his position as a warrior, it would have been difficult for Eugene to even approach him in the first place.
Even if she did approach her, it would have been difficult to support her growth through her own knowledge.
That’s why Eugene even made a detailed plan on how she should approach the main character after she entered the academy.
Well, the plan was completely ruined due to the protagonist’s trolling, but at least I wanted to express my gratitude to the protagonist for being able to secure Genos without having to use a plan.
‘Well, to put it another way, although I was able to clearly train Genos and gain the means to use him, the other main heroines were completely bored.’
I could tell just by looking at that Genos had become Eugene’s slave and was in a state of autism.
The main character’s group, which Eugene had planned to build friendships with as detailed a plan as possible, will be in a dead end situation as the main character leaves behind.
‘The Crown Princess becomes a hikikomori… , Half-dragons and magicians feel hatred toward the empire and cause accidents.’
She was troubled by the fact that the Crown Princess, the former fiancé of this body she had possessed, had become a nuisance in the corner, and it was also troublesome that the magician and the half-dragon were fueling their hatred to destroy the empire.
‘It’s not that I don’t understand…’
Isn’t the reason the main character died because the princess and the hero fought over him?
Eugene, who knew the original work, also had a fairly thorough understanding of the event.
‘So, the warrior who happened to see the Crown Princess trying to rape the heroine by feeding her poison with her poison stopped her because her eyes went back?’
Here, there were two options presented to the protagonist, who somehow regained his senses due to the battle between the two.
The first option is to intervene in the battle between the two in order to somehow mediate between the hero and the princess. The second option is to first push out the weak energy remaining in one’s body.
‘The first option is that if you do not have a certain level or higher, you have a chance of dying at the hands of the Crown Princess or the hands of a hero at the moment you choose it.’
In short, it is a trap option. If your level was high, you could survive because you could respond to attacks from heroes or princesses.
As a bonus, after seeing the main character injured by the hero and the princess, the story progressed in such a way that the two people deeply reflected and acknowledged each other.
Therefore, those who have progressed through the RPG part to some extent chose the first option in part to see the ending of the harem route…
‘You idiot main character, looking at Genos’ level, it seems like you haven’t grown properly as a saint either. How dare you choose the first option…’
And the protagonist’s idiotic choice led to Genos’s autism, the Crown Princess’s becoming a prisoner, and the multiple naturalizations of the remaining main heroines.
“…”
“Tskcha.”
Knowing that fact, he was worried about entering the academy in a few days, but Eugene started slaughtering the boss Enemy that Genos had hunted.
‘Even though I am a slave, the fact that I have secured Genos is a blessing in disguise. ‘If this is the case, I will be able to somehow raise Genos into the ultimate weapon and warrior I knew.’
As a bonus, we somehow take care of the main heroines, and as a bonus, we also help the sub-heroines grow.
It went into a bad ending route where the main character died, but unlike the original, the reality is that the world will not be destroyed just because the main character dies.
So, if Eugene somehow takes the place of the main character who has already died and disappeared, it would not be impossible to prevent the destruction.
With such positive thoughts in mind, Eugene was contemplating a way to somehow help Genos grow by taking full advantage of the fact that she was his slave.
“… .”
And Genos is looking at Eugene, who is retrieving her magic stone from the boss Enemy he hunted, holding a sword dripping with blood and looking out of focus in the dark.
‘… ‘Why don’t you make me do it?’
It is said that acting out her autism by acting out her useless tool to die at the hands of her master was to reveal her inner doubts about Eugene’s actions.

Genos, a hero of the time who was chosen by the Holy Sword to be the opponent of the Demon King. She was a commoner-born warrior who did not have a last name.
In fact, it didn’t matter that the warrior was a commoner. In the first place, the Holy Sword, a sacred object given by Park Ae-sin, one of the three main deities believed in in the Holy Kingdom, did not choose its owner based on the owner’s identity.
What her holy sword sees is her sole talent, and the power of her god contained in her holy sword is her sole ability to elect the greatest talent among mankind and entrust her own existence to him or her.
Therefore, most of the owners of holy swords throughout history were commoners. Since the number of commoners is overwhelmingly greater than that of nobles, it is inevitable that the proportion of people born with the most outstanding talent in that generation will be among commoners.
Therefore, even when Genos was chosen as a hero, commoners were not persecuted for being chosen as a hero.
The Orbital Continent, well aware of the fact that most of the previous owners of the Holy Sword were commoners, was accustomed to how to treat the warrior who became the owner of the Holy Sword.
‘That day was unexpected.’
Although she was Genos, born with a talent that even the Heavenly Demon recognized, she was just an ordinary country woman until she was chosen as her warrior.
Due to the influence of Moon Gok-seong, she was born good and did not know how to hate anyone, but she was actually born in an environment where she could not demonstrate her talent.
Born as the only daughter of her parents who were ordinary farmers, she was just a girl who could be found anywhere until she was chosen as a warrior by a holy sword that suddenly fell in front of her from the sky.
Because she was born with Moon Gok-seong, she was a person full of charity no matter who the person she was dealing with was.
Even if the other person was a heinous criminal, the story is that he was the type of person who sympathizes and regrets the circumstances that prevented him from becoming a criminal rather than the fact that he was a criminal.
But other than that, she was no different from any other ordinary girl. Suddenly, a meteor and a holy sword struck in front of her eyes.
… The Holy Sword, searching for the most outstanding talent among mankind, chose Genos, who was born with Mungokseong, as the hero of his time, and that was the day that could be said to be the first turning point in her life.
‘From that day on, I stopped being Genos and became a warrior.’
After separating from her parents and moving to the capital, she received protection from the imperial family and was treated as a warrior.
The empire, which had a history of neglecting her warriors in the past and then making the mistake of having those warriors leave for foreign countries, protected Genos, who was chosen as her warrior, even though he was a commoner, and treated her at a high level.
‘But the reason I was treated that way was because this era needed warriors.’
Heroes did not always appear. Once every hundreds of years, when the era needs a hero, the holy sword stored in the empire appears in front of the hero and elects him as the hero.
In other words, the very existence of the hero proves the crisis of humanity, and therefore the treatment the empire gives the hero is the treatment it gives because it hopes to save humanity from that crisis.
‘And the hero’s main enemy is none other than the Demon King.’
And the demons of the demon world led by that demon king. Therefore, the girl born with Moon Gok-seong, who was chosen as her warrior, pledged to drive out the crisis of her humanity in a way that befits the treatment she received.
‘But…’
… The problem was that she was born with a tendency to charity, Mungokseong. Unlike demonic nature, it does not pollute the mind of its owner.
This is because the main character itself acts as the owner’s ‘character’. To be more precise, it should be said that, unlike Demonic Castle, Juicyung is closer to completely eroding the owner’s spirit more quickly at the point of possession.
Because demonic nature is fundamentally a trait that is ostracized in human society, its owners also resist being polluted by demonic nature. An example like Cheonsalseong can be said to be just that.
However, since the character acquired by the dominant character is accepted by society as a virtue that humanity must be born with, the owner also does not object to the erosion of the dominant character.
Therefore, of course, unlike the demonic nature, the owner of the dominant personality accepts the personality itself as a part of the personality during childhood, when the personality is already complete.
And it was the same for Genos, who was born with the nature of loving-kindness through her Moon Gok-seong, so she had no choice but to have feelings of loving-kindness even towards her main enemy, the ‘demon’.
‘… In that sense, I can be said to be the worst warrior of all time.’
She was honored as a warrior, and because she also loved humanity, she wanted to exterminate her demons for the sake of humanity.
However, her innate benevolent nature embraced even the demons, so she could not help but suffer internally even as she slowly grew as a warrior with the support of the empire.
I always wondered if fighting demons was really for the good of humanity, or if there was another way.
She also doubted whether she had the right qualities as a warrior to worry about such things, so even though Genos entered the academy as a warrior, she had little pride in herself.
‘Along the way, I met him.’
After she entered her academy, the boy she fatefully met was a boy named Lore.
She is a boy who has a kind heart to everyone, just like herself. He is a boy who willingly listens to her concerns and thinks together with her, even if other people would have thought she would be disqualified as a hero.
… And soon, as if it were truly her fate, the boy was recognized as a saint in the Holy Kingdom and chosen as her ‘mate’ to move forward with her.
When Lore was chosen as a saint, Genos was truly overjoyed.
What could be happier than this when the only person who understood her, and therefore the boy she cared for, was recognized by God as ‘her partner’?
Genos, who had always been filled with love at the sight of the Crown Princess attacking Lore, felt anxious and jealous for the first time in his life, and for the first time in his life, he offered a prayer of sincere gratitude to God.
Shin always secretly resented himself as to why he was chosen as a warrior despite his shortcomings, and why he was forced to live an unfortunate life of having to kill demons for the sake of humanity if he didn’t want to kill anyone.
However, when such a god chose Lore as a saint as if repaying his resentment with love, Genos regretted his foolishness and decided to live as a true believer in God.
To that extent, Genos had a lot of feelings for Lore, whom he met at the academy and became close friends with.
She came to have a variety of emotions while staying with Lore, which is different from the personality she had just because she was born with Moon Gok-seong, and it is not enough to say that she was born anew as a ‘woman’ called Genos.
‘That was a mistake…’
Yes, and that was the biggest mistake. A variety of emotions she had never felt before, as a woman, not a warrior.
