Double Edge Hero

Synopsis: Youma Hiromi was a 21 year old incapacitated man. One day, a shadow came into his hospital room, Youma thinking that it was the death god and his time had already come, accepted the invitation of the mysterious shadow. When he woke up he found out that he was no longer incapacitated and that he was the “6th hero” in a new world?! or maybe not, as there could only be 5 heroes. Now he has to survive in a new world, but his new body is not what he expected it to be. For what reason was he brought to this world that already has 5 heroes? Why is his body so unstable?!

Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, mature (descriptive gore and violence)

Note: This is an original story of mine as I write it to pass my time. And yes, this is a story that is heavily influenced by gaming and hero summoning stories.

This wont be updating as often as it is a hobby after all. But do give me your feedback please. I love those no matter good or bad they help me improve.

  • Hey, Rei-san...

    I like your story and hope to see you complete it one day.

    What I want to ask is... can you please make some illustrations of your characters introduced so far?

    It would be pretty nice to know what the characters look like.

    Some kind of databook would be nice too, but that would be too much to ask... I guess. Maybe when the first volume is finished?

    Keep up the good work!

  • I've read up to chapter 3 and I have to say your story is much better than mine. So I was just wondering, if the story and lore get more fleshed out, can people write short novels/side stories based off this world and its setting that do not effect the main plot or characters?

    For example: a story about a character with his/her own problems that never directly interacts with the protagonist but just watches or sees him from time to time in the distance. A further explained example would be that maybe, someone the main character regularly interacts with has a son/daughter who might be inspired by him.

    Of course I've considered the thought that you may not want any non-canon stories because they can effect the possible routes your story can take, but these stories will only ever be fan fiction unless you officially recognize them as part of your novel's universe.

    How would you feel after finishing your original novel, to then find out that people have written their own fan fictions based off it? How would you feel when someone, for some reason, wrote a BL version of your story? Furious? Creeped out?

    If someone dedicated their time and effort to write a truly inspiring story about someone from your novel, would that make you feel glad?

  • Don't give up on this! This could very easily become an anime! I hope you will keep writing them, I personally love your work. I only recently found this series and I'm hooked.

  • Rei-chan keep it up, love your work!! I got so absorbed I read it all in 2ish hours kyaaaa! Love you XD

  • Rei-San, how much would it cost for you to revive this series?? I can't even see a patron goal for this one anymore, are you just busy, will it come back?? I really enjoyed reading it and would love to see more. Best of luck😁

    • When I catch up with tsuki, I will tackle D.E.H. For now, I haven't had the time to write as I am also searching for new novels.

      • *huge sigh of relief* oh thank god, can't wait😁Thanks Rei-San, once more; best of luck

  • Hi Reigokai-san
    Just so you know, there were many people waiting for your update on D.E.H, okay
    And if there is some problem, please notify us, like example : you want to drop D.E.H
    T_T you won't do it right?! right?!
    Anyway wish you the best of luck in writing the story~

    • Humm...
      Are ideas welcomed?
      If so, i just want to say :
      I think after the dinner with the beast race, Youma will spend most of time waiting the sword finished while training magic and battle armor with Eli and Ethan (fighting purpose). I also think he should training / hunting together with Kiur in the reamining time he waiting for the sword.
      Oh I also think the problem of Eli should be cleared when the time comes. You know, Eli is motivated to finished her journey of knowledge because she want to go with Youma as explained in chapter 25.
      ...
      Youma will be leaving the capital soon and Elinalise will have to finish before he does so.
      Youma won’t be able to stay with her all the time, and he can’t accompany her at every instance to the Adventurer Guild.
      This step is a necessary one if she wants to leave the capital together with Youma.
      They both knew this well. Her current reason and resolve are all made possible because of him.
      But that’s exactly why they worry for the future.
      ...
      Ah, the there is the fact that Eli is an heir of the Freyhart family, so I think Eli can't just abandon her family like in the usual scenario, so i think Eli cannot follow Youma to the beast continent. Thats my idea even though i'd like to see Eli in Youma' side.... (THEY ARE A GODD MATCH I TELL YA! I TELL YAAA!)
      Okay, so that clarify as the end of my ideas!
      ^-^
      i hope you can make some announcement about D.E.H, or even better if you can make some update!
