Chereads / The Betrayed hero turned King of monsters / Chapter 3 - The goddess Nyx

Chapter 3 - The goddess Nyx

[This goblin settlement cries for your help. Will you become the savior to the monster you hunted: Y/N]

Looking at the notification I was surprised since it has never given me one like this in my past life.

(Is this why I didn't die; because of some legend) I thought 

"I want to hear more about this language before I make a choice," I replied

"Of course. Please follow me," the druid said pointing to the largest house in the village

Following behind the druid and the village lord I was led into a house at the center of the village. 

As I walked to the house I could feel the bloodlust coming off the archer and the warrior that stood next to the lord. Ignoring them I walked into the house which was much larger inside than it seemed outside.

Sitting down at a round table the druid snapped his fingers and a scroll appeared in his hand.

(Spacial magic! To think a low-level goblin druid could use this) I thought with surprise

Laying out the scroll on the table it showed a story. At the beginning it showed a group of people that stood over the body of a giant demon; and at the front of the group was a mage holding a skull staff.

"That person..."

"Yes; this was you Lord savior," the druid said 

Continuing the story it showed that same mage standing before an army made from several kingdoms and the group of heroes from before. As the mage fought for his life he was soon defeated and killed on the battlefield. As the armies cheered in victory a small white light left the man's body and flew into the body of someone lying in a cave.

"Where did you get this?" I asked closing the scroll

"The day you were killed the goddess Nyx gave me this vision, but I was only a boy and did not know the meaning," the goblin lord spoke

"Yes when my nephew told me about this I knew that it was a message," the druid added

(Nyx... that was the sister to Geae; she said that each of her siblings was evil and trying to destroy this world)

"Tell me; what else did you see in your vision?" I asked

"Nothing else but to help and protect you as you build your strength until you can calm your thrown," he replied

"I see... can you all leave this room for a few moments I need to think?" I asked

"Very well we will be waiting for your answer Lord Savior," the druid replied as they left the house.

As I sat alone in the room I began drawing a mana circle that allowed the heroes to speak with Geae, but this one allowed one to speak with her siblings. I had found it in the demon lord's castle and since I was the only one who could head it they allowed me to keep the book.

Finishing the magic circle I poured some mana to activate it. Once I did I felt my mind begin forced out of my body. 

When I opened my eyes I found myself in an open field filled with a night sky filled with bright stars; tall purple grass and a darkness that filled the forest.

"This is nothing like Geae's domain," I said looking at the terrain

Focusing I began walking around attempting to find the goddess of the night until I saw a woman sitting next to a pound with her hand in the water.

"Is that your goddess Nyx?" I asked walking closer to her 

"So you have finally arrived my avatar," the woman said turning around

Now getting a good look at her I realized that she was absolutely beautiful. her pale purple skin glistened in the moonlight, her long dark-blue hair that went past her shoulders her elf-like ears, and bright red eyes that were mesmerizing.

"I see the transfer went well," she said patting the ground next to her

Like my body had a mind of its own I sat down next to her and looked into the pound which was filled with pure white koi that were beautiful.

"So it was you that saved me?" I asked 

"...Yes I'm sorry if this is all sudden for you Klaus," Nyx said while rubbing her hand against the koi fish

"So what that goblin said is true...then I have one question?" I said looking over at her

"Why you?" she said as if she could read my mind

"..."

"Simple you were the only person who had seen the truth of my children and the evil behind humans," she said

"What do you mean?" I asked

"The skill you have is one that usually only the gods have which allowed them to watch over all living beings. But those without it only see what they want to see. When they look at my children they only see evil and cruelty," she said clenching her dress

"I see... but why did you not choose one of your children instead of me?" 

"I won't lie to you Klaus; I have all the demon lords who were chosen by me to cause balance in this world but they either became corrupted by power or died young. So this time I chose a human who has seen both sides," she explained turning to face me.

"Wait then hasn't your sister told the humans that your children are not their enemies?" I asked

"Because one of my children killed her first son and now she wants to do everything in her power to kill all my children," Nyx said with a sad look

"...Then what can I do; the last time I tried I fought against the Kingdoms of light I was killed instantly," I explained

"I know, but before you were the avatar of my sister now you will become my avatar so instead of multiple people receiving my strength I will give you everything I can," 

"...I see but I have one request for becoming your avatar?" I said after thinking

"Yes, I will allow you to get your revenge. But remember that not all of them were evil," Nyx said 

"I know I won't hurt the ones that don't deserve it," I replied

"Now then are you prepared to become my avatar?" Nyx asked in a serious tone

"I will do what I have to so that your children will survive," I said with a determining look.
