Why is it that everyone always wants the results given by someone and when they see the results given by that person, they can only complain and cannot accept it.
He should be grateful for being given, even if we are given something useless... I'm sure it will come in handy at some point.
Why do people always want shortcuts, because they always want ease and not difficulty...?
In every life there should be difficult tests, not easy tests that are solved through shortcuts. We should solve the tests of life with effort and hard work.
I don't know why I feel annoyed seeing humans who always want shortcuts and convenience, even though they have gotten what they want, namely shortcuts and convenience, they are still not grateful for what they get.
I don't know why they think the game is unfair when it has an equipment system that is paid for with real money and the equipment is the key where rich players can become strong because the equipment has a stronger status than free equipment.
I've also seen a lot of comics, novels, and anime that tell a fantasy world where a protagonist who is already strong from the beginning without a reason or other reasons he is given power by the God himself.
The anime tells a fantasy where a high school student is reincarnated into a fantasy world and he can become strong without effort and hard work.
How is that... That's fair enough, not that I'm jealous or anything, it would just make the protagonist never change.
He'll just continue to rely on the power he got from the god, I hate seeing someone who doesn't work hard from scratch and is ungrateful even though they've been given ease. Humans only care about their own selfish thoughts and grievances.
------------------------------------------
I was walking in the middle of a city filled with humans who were focused on their cell phones, I was just staring at the ceiling that looked bright.
"Hhaahhhh." I sighed as the world I was living in became filled with people who only relied on convenience and shortcuts.
The city I lived in had such advanced technology that they were all currently focused on their sophisticated cell phones. That cell phone can do anything including playing a video game.
I put my hands in my jacket pockets and then looked up where there was an advertisement showing the current trending game.
The name of the game was Conqueror of World and I had absolutely no interest in the game or anything else.
"Whatever game it is, surely money can make one strong. Are there no games that only rely on effort and hard work?" I stopped staring at the advertisement.
"Not games or anything, you can try in another world called Touri..." Suddenly I heard a voice that sounded like a man's.
I looked back at the advertisement and saw a strange man who had a dark red cloak that obscured his entire body and even his face, I could only see a shadow on his face.
"Huh...?" When I blinked my eyes, the man in the robe suddenly disappeared from my sight.
"Touri...?"
"A world different from the one you live in right now, Touri there is a universe core and in that place... Nothing is impossible! Touri is a fantasy world where there are races, powerful forces, and of course magic."
"In that world, there are no shortcuts or words for not trying, if you don't try then you will experience a hard life there including death and torture in the world called Touri." I immediately rounded my eyes again when I saw the strange man standing in front of me.
"What-"
SWOOOSSHHHH!!!
Suddenly both my eyes immediately saw cars and motorcycles traveling at maximum speed.
"Ehh...?" I immediately looked around where there were many people laughing at me for daydreaming when I could have crossed the road.
"How could I see that strange man...? He was on the news just a few seconds ago and now I can see him standing right in front of me and then disappearing just as the traffic light turns green." I sighed and waited for the traffic light to turn red.
A few minutes later, I arrived in front of my house with an expression that looked eager to lift weights, I wanted to become someone strong through very difficult exercises, but those exercises would look and feel easy if I did them by trying my hardest!
My goal is to become a strong man who can protect someone I love very much and I still haven't found her yet.
But... It's better to prepare from the start so I can deal with the problems that will come!
I rushed into my room which was filled with sports equipment and I also had a computer which I only used to look up ways to defend myself and ways to get stronger through training.
I had even downloaded a lot about sports which had a lot of parts and stages, I also didn't forget to study so that my brain could grow. My brain needs extensive knowledge and experience.
It's useless if you train diligently, you can just lose to someone who has extensive knowledge and experience, it's been almost 3 hours that I've been doing exercise, it seems like my body has started to get some development.
The muscles of my arms felt hard and I started to grow some abdominal muscles, I stopped lifting the weight that was quite heavy and then approached my study chair.
"Hah... hah... hah..." I grabbed a towel that was on top of my study chair and wiped off all the sweat that was all over my body.
"My body feels weak now, maybe it's time to rest." I said, staring at a picture on my study table.
I picked up the photo and it started to show me together with my parents, my mother died because she was raped while my father was murdered.
At that moment I felt weak and helpless, I could only look at them and couldn't do anything but watch, they were killed in a very sadistic way, I felt upset when I started to remember it, I put the photo on top of my closet.
"I promise, mom, dad... I'll get stronger so I can protect someone I love and consider important! I don't want to be weak like before!" I said while showing a serious expression, I started to walk away and approached the bathroom to clean my sweaty body.
------------------------------------------
I started to turn on the shower by turning the lever and it began to soak my entire body with warm water.
"I am a student who has graduated from high school, I can't continue my education to university because I don't have the money... Damn it, if only I had been honest with mom and dad about my perfect high school grades. I took the shortcut of cheating and kept the answer book under my study table..." I said as they regretted it, my mom and dad really hated shortcuts and someone who didn't do what they could.
"I should have admitted it and faced my mistake back then... I shouldn't have tried to find a damn shortcut...!!! I SHOULD HAVE TRIED HARDER!!! I SHOULD HAVE RELIED ON MY OWN MIND, DAMN IT!!!" I started hitting the wall in front of me.
"If you want to pay for that mistake then you should start working hard..." Suddenly the voice I've heard since I've been in the city rang out again, I glanced back and I saw the strange figure of the man.
"It seems you don't deserve to be a human... You deserve to be a Legend more... You could have become a worthy Legend because of the passion and effort you have right now, the death of your family was able to make you a different person, young man." The strange man said until two drops of water started to enter my eyes.
"UGH...!" I blinked my eyes again then I stared ahead where the strange man suddenly disappeared again.
"What's wrong with him...? Why do I always see him...!? Why do I always hear that strange voice of his...!?" I asked irritably.
A few minutes later, I started to hear and see her all the time, how could I hear her voice and see her all the time?
Always saying the world called Touri and the race called Legend, what is he saying?
Is this some kind of anime scene or something? It's not real!!! Everything is impossible in this strange world.
I shut down my computer because I always see it in every application I open from Games to Metube and Headbook. I took a few steps back when I saw that, thinking that the strange man was a virus or a ghost in this modern time.
"I'd better get some sleep..." I took a few steps back then I jumped back and lay down on the bed while stretching my sore arms.
"There's nothing better than resting by sleeping and then dreaming about meeting your soul mate..." I said, I slowly began to close my eyes
"Zzzz...." I fell asleep quickly because I was tired, I don't know why I was able to fall asleep quickly. maybe it's because the effect of exercise always makes me fall asleep quickly.
My two eyes suddenly began to show a dark room where I suddenly saw a strange man smiling.
"Ehh...?"
"Welcome, Shiratori Shira." The strange man said my name, yes... My name is Shiratori Shira, a young man who just graduated from high school and I'm currently 19 years old.
It seems that today I succumbed to a severe illness so I always meet the figure of the man wearing the red robe and somehow he smiles very broadly when he meets me in the dream world, wait... Is this dreamland or the real world...?
I don't know, I can only listen to what that strange man will say next.
"Why...? Why do you know my name...? And why are you always showing up everywhere!?" I asked while showing a serious expression.
"I am a god and I chose to offer to a hardworking human like you."
"Ehh...?"
