A hero is someone who stands strong and tall, and most importantly...is admired by all.
How does someone reach the title of a hero if they have neither the strength, the skill, or even the charisma for it?
They have no choice but to be reckless and relentless.
Her promise to her childhood friend being her sole motivation.
Ah, her friend isn't dead or anything. She's living a happy life back in her home village!
So, she doesn't even have a tragic backstory to help her push her legend...
On Elara's journey to become a hero, she meets a mute knight by the name of Cross whose only skill is casting healing magic, allowing her to take advantage of her own reckless nature.
She isn't sure who this mysterious knight is or why they are sticking with her.
She is simply glad to have company on her journey to making the world recognize them both as heroes, so that she can finally go back to her village and meet her friend.
