Chapter 562: Hero’s Heart

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Facing Marvin's questions, Lance thought for a while before slowly replying,

"You have too many questions… Let me answer them one by one.

"

"First, let me tell you that I'm merely a fragment of one of your memories. Even if I know many things, I am still not Lance himself. My body, my will, everything is tinged by your perceptions of me. As for the real Lance, I cannot tell exactly what he is thinking.

"

Lance's words were very strange. Marvin felt that this wasn't the sort of conversation any sane person would have.

A person chatting with his own memory... That was quite exaggerated.

But the memory clearly had its own sentience. Lance began to answer to Marvin's questions.

"First question.

"

"Your transmigration was definitely arranged by me, just like the game which was brought to Earth.

"

"Don't ask why so fast,

" he quickly added before Marvin could cut in. Lance apparently noticed Marvin's eagerness and smiled.

"I'll keep answering the rest of your questions first.

"

"Feinan Continent is very real. It is a world I created, one very closely related to me, and it will live and die with me.

"

"As for who I am? This question is very complicated. In short, I am Feinan's God of Creation, and at the same time, I am also someone from Earth. But of course, not someone from your era.

"

"And the last question. Why you? A good question to ask.

"

Lance quickly explained,

"I spread to Earth as a game in order to correct a mistake. A mistake that I cannot correct myself, because I created that mistake in the first place. Because of this, no matter what efforts I put in to ameliorate the situation, it was all in vain. I needed an external variable to change the course of what would happen in this world, and thus I thought of Earth.

"

"This is very simple logic. Anyone who meets challenges they cannot overcome and end up with lots of time to ponder would think of their homeland, wouldn't they?

"

Marvin nodded.

After confirming that Lance was someone from Earth, he felt a bit weird.

In Feinan, everyone regarded him as the greatest God. Hearing the name, mortals would shake and Gods would kneel.

But that person actually originated from Earth?!

It had to be known that there was still no person or technology powerful enough to create an entire world!

Earth had already stepped into the Galactic Era, and it was also the Era of Superheroes.

But from what Marvin knew, even these A-level and S-level Superheroes were far from the Gods of Feinan, let alone Wizard God Lance.

However, he didn't ask more about that. Most of all, he was thirsting to know why Lance chose him from among the innumerable players.

He'd had countless guesses before about whether his transmigration was related to Lance, but he now finally had the confirmation.

Only the question of

"why

" remained.

"Why me?!

"

Marvin stared fixedly at Lance.

Lance was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth,

"Because you are the one with the most 'thirst', aren't you?

"

Marvin opened his mouth, his lips quivering, but he didn't let out any sound.

Lance wasn't wrong; he had been thirsting for change.

He didn't want to become a God Slayer, a Hero, or even an actual God in just a video game!

Regardless of how much pride, money, or attention it could bring him, in his heart, Marvin only considered the game as a way to support himself.

Ever since he was a child, he would always go all-out in everything he did.

His incredible memory and battle awareness were fully displayed in the game. This was why he was able to become one of the players that could create storms everywhere he went.

But his talents could have been used to do many more things!

He should have become a Hero!

Actually, he had succeeded in becoming one.

Before that disaster befell him, he and his best friend Xu Qing successfully passed the Heaven Shield examination, the test of the Federation's highest administrative bureau, and became registered as Heroes under assessment.

He was the gifted among the gifted.

He had boundless future prospects.

But, misfortune soon struck.

During a disastrous mission, Marvin managed to cling to life by relying on his ingenuity and his thirst for survival, but he lost his Superhero abilities, and far more beyond that.

Only his brain was left undamaged. Even his spine was fractured!

Even in this era, the field of medicine was at a point where it was only able to guarantee Marvin's survival, but not help him recover his past ability.

He could only watch as it all left him behind: his beloved girlfriend, his former partner, and the life he yearned for.

The only place where he could feel mighty and prideful was in the game. Whenever he left the game capsule, he could only look at the outstanding services done by Xu Qing, He Dongning, or the other Heaven Shield members in the news.

They became this era's most sparkling stars.

And the youth who had once been above them could only clench his teeth. Occasionally, some newspapers would mention Marvin, the one who had been even more talented, and he couldn't help but sigh.

He was unwilling.

He still had his pride.

He still had his thirst.

There was no one on Earth that thirsted for a chance to come back more than he did, a chance to return to his peak once again!

He had sworn to himself that if Heaven gave him a second chance, he would grab onto it tightly and never let go.

Heaven didn't have that power. But the Wizard God did.

Thus, something unexpected happened and Marvin transmigrated.

He blended into Feinan in no time at all, forgot his previous suffering, and grabbed every opportunity to become stronger!

The people around him were always amazed as to how much effort Marvin was putting in. As an Overlord, he could just sit back and rest easy, but Marvin seemed to have an abnormal thirst to improve himself!

He would always run about, never stopping to rest. He didn't even have time to get into romantic relationships like those main characters from novels, starting harems and whatnot.

The only one that could be considered as such was Hathaway, and that was because of the unique events they went through together.

But it was this abnormal dedication that allowed Marvin to keep on going up until now!

...

"It's that simple,

" Lance said with a smile.

"Often, when your level of power is insufficient, you won't be able to understand many things.

"

"If you can reach my level, you'll discover how easy it is to get someone from Earth into Feinan… Even though I've only done it once.

"

"Why is it you? Because only you are qualified.

"

"The nature of humans won't change. Lazy people would still be lazy after rebirth. Narrow-minded people would also be limited by their own mental and social regulations after getting to another world. Ordinary people would just live their lives out. Transmigrators who know the future would make use of it for their own benefits, wouldn't they? But I can assure you that most people, even if they obtained the same treatment as you, would fail.

"

"Because you are the most suitable.

"

"The strength of one's heart has always been more powerful than the help of external forces.

"

"You have a Hero's heart. You can walk today with glorious success, relying not only on the information I gave you, but the strength of your heart.

"

"There is no need to doubt. Regardless of which world we're talking about, this is the most important part.

" Lance's voice was becoming weaker, but his tone was growing more resolute.
