Reincarnated Hero System

"Then curse their reincarnation."

"Pfft…!"

Heather chuckled when she heard Evan's reply, watching as the boy got up and dusted his clothes before retracting his wings.

She had questions about why he had wings, but after remembering the news article saying he had gained the power of a dragon, she quickly figured out where they cfrom.

'How was he even able to eat a Dragon's Heart without dying?'

That was the main thing that got her curious, but she realised now wasn't the tto think of this and looked around the hole they were in.

Like before, the ceiling had closed up completely, although this was a much lower height that they could jump.

"Anyway, what is this hole? It's too dark forto see properly, even with level. It's kind of…"

When Heather trailed off, Evan who was looking at the System Archive turned towards her and suggested.

"Scary?"

"That's not it. But being trapped in the darkness..."

Heather couldn't find the right word to describe how she was feeling and Evan began wondering if the girl was claustrophobic or something.

"It's not scary, but I don't like it. Not being able to see anything makesfeel more on edge..."

Though their vision wasn't completely limited, but right now, it was a lot lower compared to normal and what's more, the walls and floor seemed to be made of the smagic and aura insulator so their senses were greatly distorted here.

"It's okay. You may be trapped, but you're not alone."

"The way you say that sounds strange for sreason…"

Heather narrowed her eyes at Evan when he spoke and he only chuckled before pulling out a chair from his inventory and sitting down.

"Wait, what?"

"Hmm? You want a chair too?"

"I'd appreciate one, but is this really the tfor us to sit around? Shouldn't we be trying to get out of here?"

Heather's concern was perfectly normal. Especially as she wasn't familiar with Evan so she found him not taking the situation more seriously to be strange.

"That's good, but I consumed a bit of energy to prevent that gravitational force from crushing us like meat paste so I'd like to recover to full capacity before we go anywhere."

Evan then pulled out a chair and placed it in front of her, before gesturing for her to sit, while he searched his inventory for a lamp.

"You sure are an odd one, Lord Evan."

"Drop the 'Lord'. Feels strange.

I'd also drop the 'Princess' as well."

"…okay?"

Normally, people would make a fuss about them not addressing themselves with proper titles, but Evan wasn't one to put much thought towards that and Heather was surprisingly the same.

Besides, there was no one present so what was wrong with calling themselves by just their names?

"Well, anyway, maybe we should count ourselves lucky to have a quiet moment like this?"

"Evan. What are you talking about? How is falling into a trap good luck?"

Thanks to the lamp, Evan was able to see Heather's genuinely confused expression and it made him chuckle a bit as he replied with a shrug.

"Well, I was thinking we should have a talk without Lierin hanging around you all the tand this provided an opportunity."

Heather could sense Evan did not like Lierin from the way he spoke and when he thought about how she was heavily prejudiced towards GWE nobles because of a past experience, she figured this was why.

"Well, her job is to keep away those with nefarious intentions towardsso…"

The girl could see just how absurd Evan found the notion from the expression on his face, but before she could speak up to clarify, the boy continued.

"Nefarious intentions, huh? Well, maybe."

"Huh?"

Heather was gobsmacked when she heard Evan's words and seeing this, Evan grinned evilly before getting to his feet.

"Considering we're both trapped in here alone, no one would ever know if I was to do anyth-!"

**SWOOSH!!!

Evan immediately twisted his body to dodge the sword that cthrusting towards his head, jumping back a bit when he heard Heather's cold voice.

"I would not hesitate to stab you if you try anything strange."

"Woman! Say it before you do it!!"

"But if I said it before, you'd have dodged."

"Of course, I would have! Who wants to get stabbed?!"

The young hero wanted to cry but had no tears. What started as a casual joke nearly got him stabbed in the face.

"Hahaha!"

Heather laughed when she saw his expression, sheathing her sword as she spoke.

"Don't worry, I was joking."

"I think the scale of our jokes is a bit too different here."

The girl only laughed even more when she heard his reply while Evan just shrugged and sat back down. He then proceeded to pull out his portable refrigerator and a bottle of strawberry wine before muttering to himself.

"I need to restock…"

"…"

"Hmm? You want a drink as well? I wouldn't give you the strawberry wine though".

"I don't think the wine flavour is the issue here."

Heather sighed and shook her head, before pointing at the grape wine bottle. She was quick enough to realise that if she got surprised by every little thing Evan did, she'd wear herself out mentally.

She also watched as Evan pulled out a portable cooker and heated up sstored food before proceeding to have his lunch like he wasn't trapped thousands of metres below the ground.

Of course, he did not torture Heather by eating a sumptuous meal in front of her while she was left hungry, so he 'begrudgingly' shared sof Eliza's special cooked food with her.

As they ate, the two talked with each other, and it helped ease a lot of the tension they didn't even know was there.

Heather wasn't a difficult person and when paired with Evan, it wasn't hard for them to becquick friends.

Their conversation topics were entirely random, from stories about their adventures to stories about random events they had witnessed over the course of their lives.

Evan learned a lot more about Heather than what he knew from the gand she learned a lot more about Evan than she knew from the rumours going around.

By the tthey were done eating and talking, they were seated a lot closer than they were at first and while Evan was burning the disposable plates they used, Heather was hit by Postprandial somnolence. [Feeling of sleepiness after consuming food]

She dozed off on the chair and Evan didn't even notice until her head fell onto his shoulder. But perhaps because of his movement, she slipped off his shoulder and fell lightly.

Immediately her eyes shot open as she made a noise like a high school student who had briefly nodded off in class.

"All right, sleepy head. My magic power's back to max."

"Ah…sorry."

"No biggie."

Evan got up to his feet and returned the chair to his inventory, before holding up his hand and pointing it at the ceiling.

Just when Heather looked up at him with a confused gaze, he activated BoD.

"?!"

The sudden surge in power shocked her and before she had even moved away, Evan activated his Energy Blast skill.

The beam of destruction essence tore through the air and collided with the ceiling, blasting a clean hole right through the structure despite its strong magic-resistant properties.

"Destruction essence for the win!"

Evan deactivated the skill before looking and Heather and speaking.

"Let's go."

The girl snapped out of her shock and got to her feet, after which, Evan collected his folding chair and tossed it into his inventory.

Evan created a series of Void steps which the two jumped off and used to reach the ceiling, leaping out of the hole and back to the upper layer.

"Wow. This is impressive. Didn't think one could use aura platforms like this."

"I know, right? But don't fall for me, okay? I have a girlfriend."

The boy spoke with a shrug of his shoulders and Heather's brow twitched as she looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"Narcissist much?"

"It's true though. Objectively, I am a great catch. Looks, money, power, you nit."

"Yeah, right."

Heather rolled her eyes as she looked around the wide area they were in, about to say something when Evan suddenly asked a question.

"Did you realize there's drool on your face, Your Highness?"

She looked shocked at this revelation before quickly turning away. However, she immediately turned back when she realised that Evan was just messing with her.

"I'm very close to drawing my sword, Evan."

"I assure you, that would not end well for you."

Heather twisted her lips in displeasure as she knew Evan was right while the boy just chuckled and pointed at the path at the other end of the space they were in.

"Let's go."

The two continued down the path, taking extra care not to fall into any pitfalls while looking at the murals on the walls. Eventually, they cacross srooms and after entering them, they discovered that these rooms seemed to have exhibit stands, leading them to surmise that they were in a museum of ssort.

"None of the Exhibits are present though."

"I don't think these exhibits could have lasted as long this place's age."

Evan replied to Heather's words as they walked forward, reaching another door which Heather unlocked with her ring.

"Oh...wow."

The two were greeted with a different sight when they entered the next room. Rather than a room, this was more of an arena.

It was a massive hall with a dome-shaped ceiling, and looking around, Evan felt this place was as big as a stadium.

Unlike the other rooms, the exhibits here appeared to still be present, although sof them were a bit damaged.

They were Bronze Statues of men and women from different races with ntags and taglines under them.

'In the game, this was an area that the player could only pass through in a straight line. I could not see who these statues were of and what their names were.'

He and Heather looked at one another before deciding to go around and take a closer look.

They noticed the statues were grouped according to race, evidenced by how all the statues of humans were in one section, all the statues of Elves were in another, and so on and so forth.

There were people of many races present, races they knew and those they could not recognize.
