Maybe the hero walked out of the maze
He was a bit confused
What is a hero?
A heart of justice, protecting the homeland, slaying dragons, rescuing princesses
And now the hero
Stays home, struggles to survive, weary of life
And
No dragon destroys villages, no princess is kidnapped
No homeland needs protection, no princess needs rescue
Maybe the hero has seen dragons
Some dragons are fierce and brutal, some dragons are kind and friendly
They follow the laws of nature, survival of the fittest, bullying the weak
They were never wrong
However
The world is still full of evil
Poverty, hunger, war, chaos, suffering
There are demons more terrifying than dragons
They disguise themselves as humans
Redeeming humans
Destroying humans
Becoming humans
You can try to become a demon
Or at least not become a demon
As for the hero’s later experiences
It seems really unremarkable
Nothing more than
Swordsmanship, magic, attack, dodge
Fighting monsters, leveling up, equipment, gold coins
There were some small setbacks
Maybe big setbacks
Maybe
It’s the necessary path to becoming a hero
Maybe
The hero prefers the vast ocean
Becoming a pirate
Pursuing freedom, adventure, wealth
Life is not always full of hope
But pirates are often full of passion
For ideals, or momentary pleasure
Whether pursuing power, cruelty, domination
Whether on a deserted island, in prison, in dire straits
They always smile
With elegant, rough, or embarrassing postures
Facing failure
This world is as you expect
Tragic and exciting
