The Star Dragon Unit was recruiting members.
This news came shortly after the announcement that the Star King had become one of the Martial Allianceâs captains.
The unit, to be led by the Star King, was specifically formed to deal with human combat rather than monsters.
Unlike the other sword units, which had been established primarily to counter monsters, this unit focused on interpersonal combat.
The Martial Allianceâs declaration to create this specialized unit, led by the Star King, was a clear signâthey were preparing for war against the unorthodox sects.
The age of peace had already shattered after the emergence of Crimson-Rank monsters.
Though the alliance had done its best to maintain appearances, the recent events made that impossible.
With the appearance of a White-Rank monster and the rise of a new group calling itself the Demonic Cult, public anxiety had reached its peak.
Forming a unit specifically to counter the unorthodox sects wasnât received poorly.
In fact, it was surprisingly well-received.
Ah, thoughâ¦
âThatâs mostly because of me.â
After running around and cleaning up messes, my reputation had skyrocketed.
Thanks to that, anything the Star King announced was met with positivity.
Some even called me the hope of this era.
Just hearing it made me feel burdened.
On top of that, my face had become so recognizable that walking around Hanam in my normal appearance was nearly impossible.
I couldâve solved that easily by wearing a veil or using a transformation technique, butâ
âIâm not going that far.â
Since I wasnât fond of going out in the first place, I figured itâd be easier to just stay in.
At any rate, my position had grown significantly.
To exaggerate a little, people would probably cheer even if I just took a dump.
Whatever I did, they believed there was some great meaning behind it, and just passing by made their eyes light up.
ââ¦Was this what it was like for the Divine Sword in my past life?â
Probably not to that extent, but it felt similar.
In my past life, I was treated as a walking disasterâsomething to be feared.
In this life, I was treated as a hero.
Even as I felt the differenceâ
ââ¦Tch.â
I didnât enjoy it.
