Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice II

Chapter 232

This is a story of perpetual self-discovery, set in a time long, long ago.

The Evil Eye King, Balor, met his demise at the hands of the Sun God Lugh, the god of the sun. Balor's lifeless body fell onto the island of Britain, creating the magnificent mountain of Barton.

Balor possessed two eyes, one of which was his most potent weapon. If opened, this eye could kill anyone who met its gaze, regardless of whether they were mortal or godly. However, it was also Balor's sole weakness.

Using rainbows as a sling, Lugh hurled beams of light that pierced through the demon's eye. He then struck Balor down with the divine weapon Brionac the Five Roaring Stars, ending the demon king's reign of terror.

However, Lugh could not have predicted that the blood flowing from the Balor's pierced eye would transform the island of Britain into a fertile womb, birthing a fairy.

This fairy was Balor's offspring, born from his evil eye, inheriting his father's hatred.

While this fairy lacked Balor's power to slay with a single glance, it possessed the unique ability to foresee the death of all living things.

Given its lineage and inheritance of Balor's hatred, it was unsurprising that the fairy would prove to be a calamitous force.

However, reality proved to be far different from what was expected.

The fairy, gifted with the ability to witness the inevitability of death, instead saw the cyclical nature of life and death from the perspective of a god. In a cruel twist of fate, this fairy, born of Balor's hatred, became a harbinger of life.

Ironically, no one knew of this transformative revelation. To the other fairies, he was an anomaly, while those who were aware of its existence saw him as a calamity.

The fairy spent his entire life burdened with the identity of "Balor's son."

He had no name, no past, and no future. The shadow of "Balor" obscured all that he was.

But the fairy rejected this reality. He believed that a person's fate should not be determined solely by their birth.

Balor was Balor, and the he was himself.

However, if he was not Balor, then who was he?

This question had been haunting him, and he had been searching tirelessly for the answer. But no matter how much he asked around, nobody seemed to pay attention to him. People avoided him like the plague, despite his reassurances that he meant no harm. But they refused to believe him, simply because of his association with the infamous name, Balor.

Despite being seen as an anomaly and a joke by everyone around him, he refused to give up. Deep down, he knew that Balor was not his true self, and that he was yet to discover his true self.

From a god's perspective, he gazed upon death, but from a human standpoint, he sang praises to life. The fairy possessed an array of virtuous personalities, and he used his abilities to help others, all while yearning for their recognition.

Unfortunately, all his efforts were met with fear. No matter how hard he tried, he could not shake off the stigma of being Balor's son. To everyone, he was an outsider, and they never accepted him as one of their own.

Despite his disappointment, the fairy refused to give up. He was determined to prove that he was more than just "Balor." Unfortunately, no one seemed to care enough to understand him. The label of "Balor" overshadowed everything about him, making it impossible for people to see him as anything else.

That is, until he met that one person.

A boy who loved the land more than anyone else, who felt the pain of others as if it were his own, and who reveled in their joys.
