From a long ti ago. A ti when science and technology was in its infancy.
Samaria, under a naless God, opened her eyes on a dinsion called Earth.
Where...am I?
Her mories were murky. She didn't know why she was here on this unfamiliar land, or why the God she served was silent.
As if her head was shrouded in fog, her thoughts didn't flow properly.
So she looked ahead and walked aimlessly down the road.
The place that appeared in front of her was a barren desert. The humans there were suffering day by day.
Because of that, she couldn't turn a blind eye to them.
A single doctrine was imprinted in her mind. Maintain peace in this world.
Although this wasn't her holand, she helped them according to the words of God that still remained in her head.
She hunted the dangerous predators and gave the civilization reason to reclaim the barren land.
Not only that, she taught them ten wisdom to live harmoniously. Everyone praised her achievents by calling the rules she had taught them the 'Ten Commandnts.'
Striving for peace in this strange world, she continued walking down the road.
At tis she judged corrupted cities, and at tis she told people to prepare for the imminent floods.
The more deeds she did, the more anecdotes about her spread through people's mouths. She wandered around the world as she pursued the vestige of a lost God.
People praised her as the 'ssenger of God,' but in fact, God was nowhere to be found on Earth.
Those years lasted for a long ti. And then she finally ca to a realization.
That in this world, unlike her own, Gods of any kind didn't exist.
A land of freedom in which fate had yet to be determined. It was a dinsion unmanaged by a 'God.'
Earth was such a special place.
She also learned that strangers in a similar position to her sotis fell to Earth.
Giants, vampires, dragons, etc...
Coming from other dinsions, they were known by different nas to humans, but nonetheless, their legends were left throughout history.
However, with mankind's gradual advancents, such ancient existences eventually went into hiding.
Like that, the years passed. And then, one day, an unexpected event happened on Earth.
Superpowers that were thought to only exist in cartoons and gas suddenly appeared, and Earth that had been isolated until now began to connect with other dinsions.
Residents of various dinsions ca to Earth one by one, and Gods from other dinsions began to watch such a planet.
At so point, 'fate' began to be written on Earth. A set 'story' moving towards an end.
Those in power who discovered the existence of fate attempted to control Earth by reading it beforehand. In this way, all 'Irregulars' that might interfere with their interest were removed or had their power sealed.
Samaria once thought such a thod was right.
She was willing to lend them her strength because she had thought it was the most efficient way to maintain world peace.
However, as soon as they had consolidated power, her power was sealed like the other ancient existences.
After innurable years of dedication to world peace, her efforts had eventually returned as betrayal.
She had no choice but to live a normal life among mankind. In front of the World Governnt, who were reading all the fate of Earth, she couldn't even resist.
As a result, she lost hope and beca more and more lost. She hated their arrogance, and she hated herself for not being able to do anything.
Her only pleasure was to toy with the humans who were weaker than her to vent her anger.
And then, one day. Like fate, she ca to discover sothing.
Soone who could free her. The 'Warrior,' Noah.

"So...Professor, you're saying the one in the Bible..."
"H-hold on! Stop there! Please don't ntion that part any more!"
"Hmm. Well, okay."
"Huu...Anyway, that's all I had to say. Thank you for listening."
Samaria gave a short sigh.
I didn't know where the hell to start believing her, but the contents itself were more interesting than I thought.
It was like reading an information dump of a ga with an expansive background setting.
I normally didn't care about these detailed settings, but sotis unexpected tips could be found in these conversations...
There was also no harm in knowing it.
I calmly organized the facts in my head the best I could.
1. There was a fixed future called 'fate' in this world.
Well, there wasn't much to go on, so I could only ignore it for now.
2. Gods were those who managed 'fate' in their respective dinsions.
Although I still didn't know exactly what that entailed, perhaps it was similar to an administrator who maintained a ga server.
3. The World Governnt knew of all 'fates' in advance, and through this, controlled this world.
I already had so guesses on this part. During the first round they always appeared to have moved one step ahead of .
4. Only existences called the 'Warrior' and the 'Beast of Chaos' could change 'fate.'
In other words...the World Governnt was wary of because they suspected I was a Warrior.
It was too bitter to think about. How well have I behaved for the sake of becoming a hero in this round?
However, I was being persecuted for such a ridiculous reason. Wasn't this like the first round when I was chased by them?
Ah, of course, since my official title was Hero, they wouldn't be able to arrest openly.
Anyway, whether it was true or not, the important thing right now was that the World Governnt believed so.

I couldn't just go see them in person and deny it. This was really troubleso.
There was no suitable way. Various obstacles had arisen in my goal of becoming a great hero in the second round.
Huu...It was a real headache. Was there any way?
Just as I thought as such, Samaria walked up to with light steps.
"Hey...as I said a little while ago, my power was sealed. So, what I'm saying is..."
"No."
"I haven't said anything yet..."
"You want my help. No. Why should I do sothing so troubleso?"
"A-ah..."
Like a child being abandoned by her parents, she looked at with a childlike expression. However, there was no reason for to be swayed.
"I-it's not just for but for everyone who's in the sa situation as !"
"You should ask soone else."
"Wh-why? I-if I did anything to upset you, I'll apologize. A-and if you free , I'll do anything I can for you!"
Samaria knelt down in front of and bowed her head. Her big eyes were filled with tears as if her situation was very pitiful.
It was only her expression that had changed, but she looked like a completely different person.
"I believe Choi Noah...No, there's only Choi Noah! So, p-please! Please help! Heuk!"
"Ah, geeze! Get out of my way!"
The mont she clung to my legs in an unsightly manner,
Ding!
A ssage appeared in front of my eyes.
[Challenge - Fallen Angel]
Condition: Save the Saintess 'Samaria.'
Ti: Unlimited.
Reward: 1x Holy Sword Fragnt, 1x Unknown.
Holy Sword?
After unlocking the second second stage of < Reputation of a Warrior >, it said I was qualified to handle the Holy Sword.
At the ti, I had wondered where I would go to get it...Unexpectedly it was from here.
"Euheh, uehuekuk...unseal ...Why won't you help undo the seal?!"
While I was montarily looking at the ssage, Samaria was hitting the ground and weeping loudly.
"There's no one else but you! Fuck! Woohoo~!"
Was there so much pent up? She was crying sorrowfully. In only her underwear, she had tears and snot running down her face.
Her nostrils were flaring up enough to fit a coin.
Had she been trying to manage her image until now? Looking at the unsightly figure in front of , the image I had of her collapsed in an instant.
Before I saw anything more unsightly, I spoke to her.
"Okay, I'll help you."
Her crying stopped and she looked up at .
"Hiieuk...R-really? Are you really going to help ?"
"Yes. But I don't know when I'll be able to help."
"Really...You're really not lying...You're going to help ? Choi Noah-nim is good at lying."
"Oh, then don't believe ."
"Aaah! No! No! I believe you! But...really?"
"Really! You're driving crazy!"
At most I had said I would help her. As expected, this woman always did things that made uneasy.
She seed to have been protecting her image of a great hero in front of others, but strangely enough, this woman continued to get on my nerves.
Soon, she started picking up her clothes that had fallen on the ground. After fixing her expression, she looked back at with a graceful expression.
"Hu, huhu...Good. Sh-shall we continue our talk?"
"..."
Seeing her puffy eyes and forcefully pretending to be fine, my head was already starting to throb. I was sure she wasn't like this the first ti we t...
Favorability has increased.
Favorability has increased.
Favorability has increased.
.
.
.
Favorability has reached a certain level.
You've t the requirent to recruit 'Samaria' as a companion.
Companions cannot betray you once they've joined your party.
I rejected it without hesitation.
Tsk. Not a chance.
'Samaria' will be registered as the warrior's followers.
After the brief disturbance, Samaria returned to her original deanor and looked at with a rather serious expression.
"Choi Noah...No, Choi Noah-nim. What are you going to do from now on?"
"What?"
"Even if you postpone helping , the World Governnt will try to arrest Choi Noah-nim even more after this situation is over."
"Hmm..."
Co to think of it, I still haven't decided how to deal with this problem.
However, I couldn't think of a way no matter how much I thought about it.
I had thought I would just return to being a villain, but all of my efforts so far would be wasted if I did so.
Huu...Was there nothing I could do?
As I thought about it over and over in my head, Samaria spoke to .
"Then...How about this way?"
According to her, she once played a leading role in establishing the World Governnt, so maybe she had a good idea.
"Do you have a way?"
"I do, but...Rather, this is only possible if you trust completely."
There would have been no reason for to trust her if she had said this a mont ago. However, she was now my follower and could never betray .
I trusted my skill, so I asked her.
"What do I need to do?"
"Then, Choi Noah-nim..."
She picked up a sword that had fallen to the ground. Slowly approaching , she spoke with a graceful smile.
"Can you please die for now?"
"?!"
It seed I would have to die at her hands.
