Arcane Heroes

Adriel and the rest of the higher ranks of Arcadia were currently in the command room doing something particularly important.

"Okay, we started the count," Adriel said.

"I have obtained a king mark", I draw a yellow line on the table.

"Isabela has obtained a king mark," I draw another yellow line on the table.

"Wow, who would say?" Irina said wryly, while the rest of those present nodded in agreement.

If the two of them hadn't become kings, then they'd think the system was broken or something like that.

"Alice has obtained a mark from the king," I draw a third yellow line on the table.

"Richard, Irina, Franky, Karl, Sara, Lina, Natalia, Fiona, Mateo and Selena have become heroes", he draw a total of 10 green lines on the table, resulting in a total of 13 lines on the table.

"They are less than I expected," Richard said.

Adriel nodded, but shrugged and refuted, "It is temporary, remember that only the strongest at this time get the marks, but that does not mean that they will be the strongest in the future, besides, we have an advantage that no one else has"

He didn't mention what that advantage is, but everyone in the room knows he means the talent room.

Through this, everyone can obtain a talent in addition to their class, creating an ideal combination.

The other forces do not have this advantage, the talent room was an additional reward for being the first to get a village.

Because of this, Adriel was confident that many of the people under his command will keep getting stronger and stronger and overtake kings and heroes sooner or later.

"Also, we have some individuals with potential here", Adriel looked at the 4 people sitting at the table, then he added another four green lines on the table.

These four people have also obtained a hero mark, surprisingly, three of these people are children, only one of them is an adult.

The adult among the four is an average-looking middle-aged man with a plump body, if it weren't for the weak thirst for blood he emanates, no one would consider him dangerous.

This man is called Bob, a normal cook before the disaster, when the game started, he was lucky enough to awaken a talent and gain the strength to kill zombies with relative ease, he secured the life of his family and rescued quite a few survivors, he himself entered Arcadia after receiving one of large-scale general messages over the radio.

After arriving in Arcadia, he founded a restaurant with his family that quickly became popular, since they only used the meat of the monsters in the dungeon that they hunt themselves, so his family is already well known in the town.

Two of the hero mark bearers are actually a pair of twins, both of whom appeared to be no more than 10 years old and were nervously glancing from side to side.

These two children are named Roman and Ren, Roman is a red-haired boy with orange eyes while Ren has white hair and light blue eyes.

They are two children who rescued somewhere in the city, they were the only survivors of their family, so they were sent to one of the six orphanages currently built in Arcadia.

His talents are incredibly unique, Roman has a talent called [Yang] and Ren has a talent called [Yin].

Yang allows to control the fire while Yin allows to control the water, if it were only this, his talents would be common, but the interesting thing comes next.

They both also gained the ability to share their power, Ren could use fire while Roman could use fire and ice, their hair would also change color while using their powers.

In addition, their strength is very strong even if they are children, but like most children in the orphanage, they have a deep trauma due to the death of their family, so many days of therapy are needed to heal them.

The last girl was someone Adriel recognized, he himself gave her an honorable citizen card when he met her out of town.

The girl's name is Shofy, the youngest daughter of an average family who was rescued a few days ago, at that moment, Adriel saw Shofy's talent, so he gave her the card in advance.

She has an S grade talent called [Mistress of Illusions], which basically makes her a Mistress Illusionist with the ability to create large-scale illusions.

She is quite troublesome if she is used for stealing and other things, she could also be of great use in a war.

Hiding walls, spawning fake soldiers, making traps invisible, anything is possible.

But that will have to wait for the girl to grow up, for now, she has to go to school and learn to hone her skills.

"First of all, Bob, you will have no obligation for having acquired the hero brand," said Adriel, "You can go on with your life as usual, but you will have to fight if we face another crisis," he added.

"Of course," Bob readily agreed, it's not like he can refuse, and he already fights zombies and monsters every day, so he doesn't particularly care.

Also, if the city faces a crisis, he will still have to go out and fight, Bob very much doubts that he will find another place like Arcadia on this fucking apocalyptic planet.

With confirmation from the cook, Adriel turned his gaze from him to the three nervous children.
