User blog:KB025/Gareth the Warrior - About Heroes and Divine Blessings

Heroes are chosen warriors trained by the Order to combat the unstoppable wave of monsters. Everyone knows them, goddesses knows them, monsters know them, they're no big secret. They are a stalwart reminder that humanity will always strive in order to solve their problems, including the current monster problem. Heroes are said to be chosed by the Chief God, but in reality, anyone can be a hero. From the poorest of the poor, to the richest of the rich, to the most heretical person, to the most devoted person. Chief God is probably desperate  most definitely desperate (since the monsters are breeding like rabbits). Some of the greatest heroes include Germaine of Faltrus, who lead the assault against a desert demon realm and succeded, Malkuth the Unforgiving, who destroyed a warzone inflicting massive casualties on both sides, and many more others.

It was fine and all, but the Order knows that it wasn't enough. Day after day, year after year, many heroes turn over to the monster side because of all the debauchery and the pleasure. But there are some cases where heroes who left willingly because of the brutality of the Order's rules about free thinking and monsters in general. Hell, there was even a manhunt over this person who was apparently recording all species of monsters on his little book which he publishes. Even though it was banned on every Order-controlled state, there are still some curious people who bought it from shady people. But enough of that. We were talking about heroes and their Divine Blessings, we shouldn't get sidetracked.

After Chief God realized how awful her sales pitch about being a hero is, she used even more of her power to give the new generation of heroes Divine Blessings. Divine Blessings are abilities that are unique to their heroes, most of the time. There are some like Increased Mana Capacity, Super Strength, Invisibility, and the like. There are also some more complex abilities like Time Distortion, Spacial Control, Light Manipulation (which can make users invisible if used properly of course) and so much more. After this was done, Chief God needed even more time to chill heal herself because she expended even more energy just to help the humans drive the monsters away. Inadvertedly, this caused the new generation of Turned Heroes more powerful, to her horror.

All in all, I could say that Chief God fucked up big time, and that she shouldn't have done that. But fate is fate, and the new candidates for Chief God are appearing among her new generation of heroes. It looks like these two next years are gonna be one of the most exciting years that's about to happen.

Heroes against heroes, who will win? I know the answer, and that will be for those little goddesses and gods and humans to figure out.
