From this point on
Part 1
To have an audience with the king, I had my body cleaned, changed into the clothes that were prepared for me, and was taught the bare minimum of etiquette.
Currently, I’d been summoned to the place right before the audience room, which was just as the name suggested.
When the maids and I were heading towards the door leading to the audience room, we met up with Flare and her attendant.
Flare changed from her magician appearance into an elegant dress.
“Keyaru-san, I’m surprised at how different you look. These clothes look great on you.”
“Thank you, Flare is also beautiful.”
“You flatter me. But I’m still happy about it.”
We exchange empty words with each other. It’s called social etiquette.
Then, the doors to the throne room open and we head inside.
Part 2
“The Heroes have arrived!”
As soon as we walk in, an exaggerated voice echoes through the room. The room is sized like it’s meant to be a joke. I can see that there’s an extravagant throne in the back.
There’s an elderly man sitting on the throne, and to his left and right were the nobles who are this country’s leaders.
Why go through all this effort to meet a single villager? It’s quite obvious when I think about it, it’s because I’m a Hero.
A Hero is just that special. A normal human’s level limit is around 20 or 30, but Heroes can get infinitely stronger. There’s also the ability that doubles the experience for the entire party. To top it off, male Heroes can increase others’ level cap. The Hero extra class also advanced the original class to much higher levels. A single Hero is worth a thousand ordinary soldiers.
The maids urge me to move towards the king. Using the etiquette I’d learned, I kneel down and bow my head. Just before I faced the ground, I used my Jade Eye to look at the king. I’ll check his status and talents at the same time.

I close my Jade Eye.
I’m surprised. He’s too strong. He’s not even a Hero and his total talent is almost 500. On top of that, everything except speed is above average and he has the Magic Knight class, which can master both sword and magic. And his level limit is over 40, which is already impossible for a normal person. A bonafide monster.
By the way, the star next to the level means you have reached the level cap. It also shows up on the Appraisal, that’s how someone finds their limit normally.
Come to think of it, I remember hearing that the royal family takes in the blood of Heroes in order to create a strong lineage. In that case, I can understand this strength.
But what worries me is that question mark after human. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like that. There’s no doubt he’s done something that has strayed him from humanity.
“You did well coming here, new Hero. Raise your head.”
“Yes, your majesty!”
I raise my head as told, and as I do so I think about my escape plan. I should escape when the king is away. His individual power is dangerous, but also, if the king is out, the elite guards will also be out, making it the perfect time for an escape.
“Fumu, a good expression. Flare told me that your class is Healer. Is there no mistake about that?”
“Yes, it’s as she said.”
For just a moment, I see the king’s disappointed face. Healing can be done with other things, so the king must have wanted a combat-oriented Hero with more firepower. But he quickly puts up his mask again.
“Having a Hero with the power of healing is what our country needed the most, so I’m quite pleased with your awakening. I grant you the title of Healing Hero.”
“I’m grateful for that title, and I shall call myself the Healing Hero from now on.”
You needed me, huh? How can you say such a shameless thing right in front of me? Suppressing my inner anger, I let out words of gratitude.
“Healing Hero, in our long fight with the demons, many soldiers have been injured to the point they can’t fight anymore. There are many among them who can’t even be cured with the legendary medicine, the miraculous elixir. However, a Hero who specializes in healing might be able to heal them.”
“I haven’t used my powers yet, so I can’t be sure that they will work.”
“Since you’re a Hero, you will surely be able to heal them. In a week, the country’s strongest swordswoman, the Sword Saint, will visit the royal castle. If it’s just about swordsmanship, she’s even superior to the famous Sword Hero.”
Sword Saint, that’s a nostalgic name. I want to copy her skills at all costs. Unlike the Sword Hero, who relies on pure strength, the Sword Saint’s movements are beautiful and efficient.
“The Sword Saint fought a high-level demon the other day and lost her right arm. I want you to heal her if possible. Until then, study a lot about about Heroes, we’ll prepare the best teachers.”
While I ignored the king’s words, I thought that history really was completely repeating itself. I’ll use Heal for the first time on the Sword Saint. It really was the worst first patient to have.
Heal allows the caster to go through the entire history of their target. All their experiences and pain. All to know the optimal state to restore them.
The experience of being the Sword Saint, who has run through thousands of battlefields, was too much for me, a mere villager, to handle. Even though I healed the Sword Saint, it became a trauma and I couldn’t use Heal again. Until I was drugged.
“Understood, I will dedicate my power to this country.”
“Fumu, good attitude. You may leave.”
Like that, the audience ended just like it did last time.
Part 3
After the audience ended, I was given a room to rest. I was also given a dedicated teacher so I could study hard. I was taught various things that are needed on an adventure, general education and etiquette. A lot of things were hammered into my head. At this point, I realize that they are still trying to treat me like a proper Hero.
After studying came some light sword practice. Even though Healers can’t really use swords, it’s still good to know for self protection. After that was dinner and a bath. Night had come in the blink of an eye.
I lie down on the bed that was prepared for me in the room I was given. It was a high quality bed that I could never dream of in my life as a villager. My fatigue had really built up, so I was tired.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, the door made a sound of opening and I looked in the direction of the door. A young woman had entered my room, she was the first maid I was introduced to. A watcher with power equal to the knights.
“Hero-sama, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. Please hold me.”
She wore lascivious clothing that stuck to her skin. The woman pushed me down and started undressing me.
“S-stop, please stop.”
“Even if you say that, this part of you is energetic isn’t it?”
“Really, stop. Why are you doing this?”
“I said it. I fell in love. You don’t have to worry, I will teach you everything.”
“Please stop, onee-chan.”
I resist desperately, but I can’t do anything with my level being just 1. I only recently became an adult and got my class, and now I’m being raped.
“I’m scared, I’m scared.”
Regardless of my mental age, I try to act like an innocent 14 years old boy who has just come of age. It seems I pulled some of her heartstrings and she had fun assaulting me.
The woman leaves and I laugh to myself. So far, it has been the same as my past life.
“I really enjoyed it the first time.”
I was a healthy young boy who was approached by an erotic older woman. I was also a virgin. There’s no way I didn’t like it.
But this time I couldn’t be purely happy, because I know her true objectives.
There were two. The first is to win me over. Make me easy to manipulate by letting me indulge in pleasure.
The other is increasing her level cap. Heroes have an infinite level limit, but male Heroes can also increase others’ level caps by 1 by pouring the source of life directly into them.
But it doesn’t matter how many times you do it in a day, it’ll only increase by 1. Unless the semen is thick, you won’t increase your cap.
Simply put, if you have sex with a Hero you get stronger. If I think about it, maybe the reason why these maids are so strong is because they’re actually female adventurers trying to get stronger. A level difference makes a big difference depending on the talent values.
“So this is going to happen every night.”
The maids are going to come every night to increase their level cap. It’s not like I can resist anyway, so let’s have fun. It’s a win-win.
Part 4
A week has passed since I came to the royal castle. I’ve learned a lot of things and have gotten used to the nightly visits. It’s better to do it with a girl than a guy at least.
While I was drugged, I was mercilessly forced to do it with men. Some guys are fine with everything as long as their level increases, so they happily suck. That’s also another reason for my revenge, I won’t forgive this humiliation.
And then, the fateful day finally came. The day I was judged as a worthless tool by princess Flare and became livestock.
I will be summoned to a certain room and I’ll meet the Sword Saint, Kureha Clyret. The girl with the most beautiful swordsmanship in the world.
