Reluctant Heroes Instrumental

Nathan Beck was never meant to be a hero. Life chewed him up, spat him out, and left him hollow. A ghost in his own skin, haunted by grief and disillusionment. But death offered him something else: A new viewpoint. And a question no one else was asking. Now reborn as Hidesuke Shinohara, a forgotten, F-tier “hero” in the brutal world of Arc Zenith, he's granted an ominous, forbidden power: The Final Verdict System. It doesn’t hand out points. It doesn’t reward popularity. It exists for one reason alone: To pass judgment on the heroes who think they’re untouchable. In a world where saviors wear pretentious masks and villains are manufactured scapegoats, Hidesuke becomes the razor’s edge between false light and true shadow. As he climbs the twisted hierarchy of power, surveillance, and illusion, his blade becomes justice. As he hunts them one by one, his judgement zones carve truth into lies. Every sentence burns a legacy. Every sin carries a weight. And real justice finally gets a voice. - - - - - - - The alley was soaked, wall to wall with blood and rain. C-tier Hero "Rot" slammed Hidesuke through a rusted vent, sending shards of metal skittering across the floor. “You don’t get to judge me, you fucker!” he roared, face littered with ugly wounds and eyes wide with fury. Hidesuke coughed, blood in his teeth, and pushed himself up. “Thirty-five victims,” he rasped. “How many more must go down in silence before you feel any remorse?” Rot surged forward again, his palm bursting with hydroforce. Hidesuke didn't dodge. All conditions were met. It was time to end this. > “I bear witness.” Then the world around them split in half. Light scorched the pavement as the Judgment Zone warped reality, replacing every structure within the radius. The rain stopped midair. Sound bent in place. Everything froze except Hidesuke—and Rot, now locked inside with him. > “Violation of Article Nine.” > “You turned their lungs into breeding sites for your filthy worms.” Rot screamed, lunging again. But the chains found him first, wrapping around his legs, arms, throat. They hissed against his skin, burning through his armor and piercing his flesh. > “Sin Weight: 46.” > “Victim Count: 35.” > “Verdict confirmed.” Hidesuke walked toward him, limping slightly, voice steady. > “They desperately begged you for air. Yet you used them like lifeless objects.” > “Let this be your last breath.” His hand closed around the final seal. The glyphs flared red—then white. Veil didn’t get a last word. - - - - - - - [ ! ] If you've been looking for a story with a unique plot and background, congrats you've found the one. Don't waste any more time.

If I asked you, what does it mean to be a hero, how would you respond? Is it fighting to avenge people you've lost? Rescuing others when no one else can lend a hand? Sacrificing your body for people who don't even know your name? Is a hero anyone who is strong, flashy, prestigious, or loves beating up bad guys? The country is in utter chaos as heroes and villains fight for survival. Everyone in between has lost someone. And everyone has their own ideals for what it means to be a hero. The story continues with Rhett, a nobody with no powers except one that lets him experience death over and over again. Can he save the ones he loves? Can he be the hero he wanted to be?

If they find the Lost Key, the Celestianites will win, and peace will be restored. When Don has to fulfill "Celestial's Fight", he has to go through all of the continents in Avangard that have the most powerful beasts known to man. And once Don defeats them, he'll have to fight Dreadixz and kill him in order to become the next King of the Celestianites after King Vigilzante died. Will Don fulfill "Celestial's Fight" with the help of his friends, Olsen, Prince, Demaurion, Archie, Ella, and Power?

There was a time before this. I cannot remember it clearly. It comes in fragments — the weight of power, a voice that once called my name, a pair of eyes I feel more than see. But the rest is mist. They say I am being punished. The System gives me no guidance. It does not speak unless it must. It does not comfort. It only instructs. [Task detected. Entering soul channel.] I wake in bodies that do not belong to me. A fallen young mistress. A nameless servant girl. A scapegoat disciple left to rot at the foot of a mountain. They are all women who died with unfinished fates. Each time, the System says I must live in their place and complete their stories. Restore what was stolen. Rewrite what was lost. And when I do… a token appears. I do not know how many I must collect. The System does not say. It only demands. I did not ask for this path. I do not walk it willingly. But there is something I am chasing — or perhaps, something chasing me. Sometimes, in the quiet moments between death and rebirth, I hear a voice. Sometimes, I feel a hand reaching out. Familiar. Warm. Longing. I do not know who he is. I do not know who I am. But when I gather the tokens, the dreams become clearer. The ache grows stronger. If the only way to return is forward, then forward I will go. Not for the System. Not for Heaven. But for the one who remembers me… even when I cannot remember myself.
