This story is not possible in neither parallel universes nor any possible universes, it is just a fake story that exists. Even if it repeats a million times, as long as Ruti remains as Ruti and Gideon remains as Gideon, this story will remain as just fiction.

Led by the Demon Lord of Fury, Satan, who controls the Dark Continent, the invasion of the Avalon Continent began three years ago.
In just three years, four countries have been annihilated and half of the continent had fallen into the hands of the Demon Lord.
Humanity was at a loss for what to do … but, God did not abandon humanity.
There was a prophecy of the birth of a Hero.
Then, there was a girl who repelled a vanguard team of the Demon Lord Army by taking command of local forces in a place where there was close to no defensive strength.
Hero Ruti‧Lugnason appeared in the Imperial Capital, possessing the 『Divine Protection of the Hero』, proof that everyone understood.
She annihilated the underground thieves who were making trouble in the Imperial Capital and now, she left for the Ancient-Elf ruins to obtain the ‘Hero’s Proof’, a famed legacy of the previous generation hero mentioned in legends.
Ancient-Elf ruins.
Although it was located in the vicinity of the Imperial Capital Avalonia, its doors were firmly shut by unknown magic so nobody had ever set foot inside that ruins.
Written on the door in Ancient-Elf language was ‘When the Demon Lord appears, a hero will appear as well. I only wish for a hero and can only bestow power to the hero.’.
Then, when Hero Ruti reached the doors to the ruins, the door that nobody could pass through for hundreds of years opened.

The huge Clockwork Knight over three meters tall raised its ancient sword and shield and came attacking with thunderous footsteps.
“Everyone! Be careful!”
Standing at the forefront, Hero Ruti (Hero Lv16) shouted and readied her sword.
Sage Ares (Sage Lv14), Prince of Avalonia Kifa (Weapon Master Lv14), High-Elf Florist Yarandorara (Tree Singer Lv12), and Frontier Adventurer Gideon (Guide Lv32).
The hero companions stood united as they faced the Clockwork Knight.
“Martial Art! Continuous Sword!”
Ruti sent in two quick rounds of attacks.
“Fireball!”
Ares made a seal and caused an explosion of fire to break out.
“Martial Art! Continuous Sword!”
Kifa added in two quick rounds of attacks.
“Leaf Cutter!”
Yarandorara made a seal and tree leaves became knives and attacked her opponent.
“Fight!”
Gideon attacked the opponent with his sword.
After a fierce battle, the Clockwork Knight fell to its knees and stopped moving.
“It’s a problem that our Divine Protection levels are not going up after defeating a Clockwork Knight.”
“It is not alive so it can’t be helped.”
Ares and Kifa looked at the Clockwork and complained.
“But it acts as a source of income. The parts and metal that constitute the Clockwork are not producible in the current age. Even my sword is cut out from a Clockwork’s armor.”
Gideon said. He approached the Clockwork wreckage and stuffed the parts that seemed useful into his item box.
“As expected of the adventurer who made a name for himself at the frontier.”
Ares seemed impressed as he looked at Gideon skillfully sort out the Clockwork parts.
Gideon‧Lugnason. Hero Ruti’s brother and an adventurer known as the best swordsman in the frontier.
As a person who was part of the party since the Hero began her journey, his wealth of knowledge and experience as an adventurer made him a well-respected existence in the party.
“Ruti, the Hero’s proof should be behind here.”
Yarandorara said to Ruti. Their goal for searching this ruin, the Hero’s proof, was right in front of their eyes.
“Yup, with that, even the king will believe that I am the Hero. Once I receive that recognition, I can obtain a permit to enter various countries and acquire the authority to borrow soldiers. With that, we can start the journey to defeat the Demon Lord!”
Ruti sounded lively as her journey will finally begin and the party proceeded into the depths together.

After safely acquiring the Hero’s proof, Avalonia officially recognized Ruti as the 『Hero』.
Avalonia’s King celebrated the second coming of the 『Hero』and held a grand party before they left.
The heroes forgot about the battle for a brief period and enjoyed the food and music.
“Ares, Kifa, you guys were here.”
As the party was calming down, Ruti noticed that Ares and Kifa were not in the banquet room.
After searching for them, she found the two of them at the castle terrace looking out.
“Ruti, you could have enjoyed the banquet without worrying about us. Sorry for making you worry.”
“What are you two looking at?”
“The streets.”
Ares said as he pointed at the Avalonia streets lit by the moonlight.
“Under this moonlight, there are many people living their lives. I find it very precious. That is why I wish to protect this city.”
“Ares … yup, I feel the same way. I will not let the Demon Lord or anything have their way with our world!”
Kifa gazed at them with sparkling eyes after seeing their determination.
“If possible, I would have wanted to continue on the journey with you guys. But I have to get married soon to Duke Danich’s daughter, Princess Serena. She is already in this city and is participating in the party as well.”
“Ah, that kind-looking person!”
“That’s right, I thought of ignoring the marriage and continuing on the journey with you guys if I didn’t like the other party but … she’s an extremely good girl. I want to protect her by her side.”
“I think that is a lovely thing, Prince. Don’t worry about us. It has only been a short time but I enjoyed adventuring with you.”
“Me too! I am delighted that my sword was useful to you guys.”
Prince Kifa laughed cheerfully. Ruti and Ares laughed along with him. Prince Kifa was a man who laughed a lot. Ares found it a pity that he was leaving as he would probably brighten the par
