I wouldn't be surprised if people could "class up" by extensive training. At the very least I am sure the Angels/Valkyries would find enterprising people and bless them as heroes. The way I see it there are large numbers of lesser heroes in the world that can take on regular monsters, but there are only a handful of stronger heroes capable of dealing with high level monsters. As far as the mechanics I think the hero just needs the blessing of a god to be one. If they get an Angel or Valkyrie to train them even better.

At the very least there has to be a decent number of heroes because they keep challenging Royal Makai and get their buts kicked. Therefore there has to be great heroes in waiting to replace the fallen ones.
