"System Window," I said with a smooth exhalation.

Suddenly, everything became clear, the path I could take opened up.
"… Arcana Value."
And, I saw my only path to survival.

"Perfect!"
The moment I saw this, a smile formed on my face.
I looked beside me and saw the kneeling Priestess.
She looked at me with such sorrow and hope that my heart ached once more.
The young lady still had trust in someone as pathetic as me. I had no particularly good abilities or immensely powerful stats.
However…
"Thank you." I smiled at her.
… I knew for sure now…
"Hero…" She murmured, with more tears falling from her eyes, as my confident grin was reflected in her eyes.
… I wasn't going to lose!
"Please, Sarah…"
I flashed her one final smile.
"… Call me Sam."
The evening wind blew, sending the smell of blood and gore my way.
My nose tingled, and my eyes widened. My body trembled in anticipation, and my legs began to move.
As I walked, my eyes took in the sight of all the Demons in front of me.
I could see their Status indication—the Names, Levels, HP, and MP of each and every one of them.
Once I was done, it was finally time for the next step.
'See you all soon.'
"GRUUOOOOOO!!!" They bellowed.
Unfortunately for them, their voices could no longer reach me; their weapons couldn't touch me.
If I couldn't beat them now, the solution was simple.
"Arcana Call: The Fool…"
I would have to try again.

~Do You Accept This Quest?~
[Yes] [No]
"Very well. I accept."
Words couldn't describe the immense joy and relief they had when they saw me.
"Since you trust me, then… listen carefully to what I'm about to say," I said to them, stepping out of the summoning circle.
I had their complete loyalty and trust, so I doubted they would go against anything I said.
This was the only thing I could do at this point, but… at least it would save everyone!
"There isn't much time. Now, then… let's turn the tables around, shall we?"
