There was a legend of four Cardinal Heroes whom protected the people of the countries. You played a game where all four were game characters. The four main and most known characters were the Sword Hero, the Bow Hero, the Spear hero and the Shield Hero. Each held their own weapon and fought with their own abilities. But there was one other Hero that basically no one knew about. The Scythe Hero.

One night, when playing as the Scythe Hero, you noticed glowing in the console, and soon you were teleported into what seemed like an underground room. It was empty, but there were fresh foot prints on the dusted floor. There was a sharp scythe attached to your back, whenever you threw it on the ground it teleported back onto your back. You couldn’t even break it. You walked up a set of stairs, only to be blinded by the bright lights of a castle. It looked exactly like the castle from your video game.

You wandered around, hiding whenever you spotted anyone. When you opened the doors to what seemed to be the ball room, there were multiple other people there. A king, knights, the four Cardinal heroes and warriors. ‘Impossible.’ Someone muttered from the balcony. You didn’t have much time to think before you were thrown into a dungeon. Only around 2 weeks later you escaped. You learned what had happened. You were summoned on accident. The Scythe Hero was only a myth. A hero that never existed, all because the four other heroes agreed to hide their identity. The Scythe Hero was reckless, and because a scythe represents death, the Scythe Hero from the myths killed many.

As the Four other Heroes became more popular, the more the Scythe Hero faded into the abyss of darkness that befell this wretched world.

After one of the monster waves, you were surrounded by the four other Heroes. Motoyasu Kitamura, the Spear Hero. Ren Amaki, the sword hero. Itsuki Kawasumi, the Bow Hero. And Naofumi, The Shield Hero. You were surrounded. Nowhere to go.

“The Scythe Hero.” The Spear Hero, Motoyasu spat. Someone behind yelled murderer.
