The Nameless Realm, as the name suggests, is a world where no gods exist, or rather, where the concept of gods does not exist. In this world, everyone awakens an inherent talent at a specific time, becoming an Awakened.
The world, which used to be a place of battles with powerful monsters, is now embroiled in an unprecedented conflict. Almost all the strong individuals across the entire world have united, solely to kill one "person."
"Li Tian, you have nowhere left to run!"
High above the vast firmament, a distinguished man clad in sacred armor, holding a sword, pointed it directly at a man covered in blood, disheveled and half-kneeling on the ground.
Behind the man in the firmament, there were many powerful individuals radiating immense aura. The half-kneeling man was also surrounded by strong individuals from all corners of the world.
The world's top combatants were gathered, most of them not in good condition, clearly having endured a fierce battle.
"Damn it, if only that thing hadn't made my talent unusable."
Li Tian glared fiercely at the world-class artifact, Demon Sealing, which was operating in the sky.
"Stop talking nonsense, finish him quickly! We can't hold on much longer!" hundreds of Awakened maintaining Demon Sealing shouted strenuously.
"Everyone, attack together! Let's completely annihilate this Great Demon King today!" As his voice fell, various powerful techniques were launched towards Li Tian.
"Damn it! You all wait, I will definitely kill you all!" Li Tian roared as he was struck by one attack after another, eventually turning into dust under the powerful impact.
"It's finally over."
"We won!"
"He's finally dead."
The strong individuals felt the joy of victory, the fortune of survival, and a sense of relief as if freed. But just as Demon Sealing stopped operating, a subtle spiritual energy, accompanied by a tiny white light, activated.
"Hmm?" A few individuals noticed the slight fluctuation and instantly became alert, but after a moment, finding nothing happened, they stopped paying attention.
Li Tian was dead, everyone believed. But, was he truly dead?
...
This is a world of swords and magic. Various races are distributed throughout this world: Humans, Dwarves, Orcs (Demi-Humans), Elf Race, and Demon Race. There are also many ferocious monsters (Note: not related to the Demon Race). Most monsters reside in the Underground City.
For thousands of years, the various races have interacted and constrained each other, but the Demon Race is fierce and tyrannical, with ever-growing ambitions. The strongest existences among the Demon Race in various regions are called Demon Kings. They scheme to seize ownership of the entire world and enslave other races. Eventually, the conflict escalated, and the other races decided to unite against the Demon Race.
Within churches, the gods would provide revelations to countries through statues to seek out heroes responsible for subjugating the Demon Kings. Various countries also established Adventurers Guilds, with Adventurers responsible for clearing Underground Cities and assisting heroes. As of now, there are eight existing Demon Kings across the world.
...
Inside a B+ rank Underground City, a five-person hero team from Country A was training. The leader was John, a handsome hero clad in holy light armor, wielding a holy sword and holy shield. Among the four behind him, there was Fede, a tall but strong handsome man with light yellow hair and brown eyes. Beside him was Rona, a curvaceous and beautiful woman with a graceful appearance, long black hair, and red lips that made her look like a vixen when she smiled. Behind them was the lovely and charming Zhang Xiaolin, with waist-length hair and dressed in a pristine white priestess robe.
At this moment, the ordinary-looking young man with short black hair, who was at the back of the team, was already sweating profusely and complained, "Can we rest for a bit, just for a moment?"
"Hold on a little longer, we're almost at the BOSS room. We'll regroup at the door," John said.
At this time, Rona and Fede showed great disdain for the young man. Fede whispered, "I really don't understand why the Goddess chose this waste to be a hero. He has no damage, no support, he's completely useless with just magic. He's been holding us back a lot these past few days, I really want to kick him out of the team."
"Isn't that the truth? But John always says it's the Goddess's choice, maybe he really has some potential or something."
Zhang Xiaolin came beside the young man and encouraged him, "Come on, Xiaotian, we're almost there."
Upon hearing this, Li Tian immediately felt energized: "No problem, I'm fine, let's go!"
Arriving at the BOSS room door, everyone rested for a moment. John said, "Everyone, cheer up and prepare for battle!" The door opened, and everyone entered combat stance. However, they found no monsters in the room. The others remained vigilant, but Li Tian walked to a circular platform rising in the center of the room. A strange statue was placed in the middle of the platform.
John said, "Everyone be careful, don't touch anything easily."
"Hmm?" At this moment, Li Tian had already held the statue in his hands. "What did you just say?"
Suddenly, the ground and walls began to shake violently and cracks started to appear. "No good, the Underground City is about to collapse, leave here!" Li Tian, already low on stamina, fell behind, panting and shouting, "Wait...wait for me!" Just then, several monsters suddenly rushed out from ahead. Seeing this, John said, "Fede, go help Xiaotian, I'll clear the way!"
Fede reluctantly came to the back, and seeing the constantly collapsing ground behind Li Tian, he maliciously said to Li Tian, "Quick, give me the statue!"
When Li Tian handed the statue to Fede, Fede smirked, then said to Li Tian, "Go to hell, you waste!" A bewildered Li Tian was kicked to the ground by Fede, and then the ground rapidly collapsed. Li Tian desperately gripped the ground with both hands, his entire body dangling: "Help, help me!"
Zhang Xiaolin heard him and wanted to help but was pulled by Rona towards the exit. "Hurry, there's no time!" She didn't pay attention to Xiaolin's anxious cries behind them.
After John cleared the monsters ahead, he saw that Li Tian was about to fall and quickly ran towards him. At this moment, Fede's eyes hardened, and he quickly threw a flying knife, which struck Li Tian's hand. By the time John arrived, Li Tian had just fallen. "Li Tian!" John lunged, but he was just short of grabbing Li Tian's hand. Li Tian thus fell into the abyss in terror.
"Hurry, John! It's collapsing!" Fede shouted, pulling John.
"But Li Tian, he...!"
"You'll drag me down like this, hurry!"
John could only suppress his grief and indignation, helplessly running out of the Underground City.
Li Tian was still falling, tears streaming down. "Will I die? Why did they do this?!" Li Tian indignantly thought, "Is it because I'm useless? I know I've been a burden to you all. I don't know why the Goddess chose me. Someone like me doesn't deserve to be a hero. Why did she choose me?! I'm not reconciled!" "If only I could be of some use, would the outcome have been different...?"
Li Tian desperately closed his eyes, letting his body fall into the darkness. Just then, "Click, click" sounds, like gears turning, echoed around him, but Li Tian couldn't hear them.
