I Was Caught Up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

I Was Caught Up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

It all happened so abruptly. After finally grasping my situation, I found myself in an entirely different world. Looking around, I noticed others in the same predicament… Could this possibly be one of those Hero developments? Was there a tyrannical Demon Lord needing extermination, or would I be tossed into the maelstrom of war? Whatever it was, I was afraid. I never wanted to be a Hero. I don’t want to harm another…… Ignore the nonsense I was spouting; there was nothing to fret over. The Demon Lord was slain a thousand years ago, and 800 years had passed since the last war. The nobles didn’t treat us summoned like tr*sh; instead, we were kindly cared for. The Demons have been on good terms with Humans for some time now. Dangers, such as monsters, were being taken care of by the Guild and the Order of Knights. What’s more surprising is the fact that I wasn’t even a hero! Instead, I was unintentionally summoned! It also turns out that this world was a world in which the three races, the Spirit World’s Magical Races, the Celestial World’s Divine Races, and the Mortal World’s Human Races, are kind neighbours. Here, everyone lives a peaceful and fulfilling life. In summary, this other world was――at peace. What’s my plan for the future? For my limited stay here, I will live this world to its fullest; going on a cultural exchange, sightseeing, then, after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years, …… I shall safely return home. However, despite my lust for a peaceful last year before returning, this planet’s heavyweights have begun amassing around me, and……

Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

After being reincarnated in a world of Gods, Demons, and Great Emperors, Wang Wei embarks on a journey to bear Heaven Mandate, proves the Dao, and proclaims himself a Great Emperor--a Supreme Being that overlooked Myriad World and Races. However, his Dao involves despising fate and its encompassing glory. So what awaits our protagonist on his journey full of vicissitudes to defy and even control fate? While he controls the fate of countless races and worlds, is fate playing with him? Can he escape the very shackles of fate that he controls? Better Synopsys: After an unknown cosmic accident that enveloped the Earth, Wang Wei was reincarnated into a magical world of spiritual cultivation. This world was composed of powerful Demons, cunning and brutal Devils, ruthless and indifferent Gods, detached and ethereal Immortals. More Importantly, Great Emperors--Supreme Beings that stand above everyone and everything, even life and death itself. Despite being born in one of the most powerful sects in the world, Wang Wei was placed under tremendous pressure when so many expectations were placed on him by his sect due to the fact they have not cultivated a Great Emperor for countless millennia--an act which threatened the fundamental status of his family, friends, and sect. On top of that, Wang Wei was not one of the chosen few of this world that was granted special gifts by Heaven, thus further aggravating his circumstances. However, he did not retreat in the face of adversity. With the mindset that “If Heaven does not give me, I shall take it for myself”, Wang Wei begins to plan his rise to the top with a brilliant tactical mind and the help of his mysterious soul so that one day he will become a Great Emperor that not only control his fate but the fate of all lives in existence. This story has a similar setting as Emperor Dominion, I am a True Villain, and Scoring the Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Get-go. If you enjoy this type of story, then you will enjoy my story. The first 30 chapters or so have many problems story-wise, so please bear with it as I was just beginning as a writer. However, I promise the story gets better afterward.

He was sent to be the leader of the new generation of heroes and save the world from the demon invasion by the god who made the game. Unfortunately, nothing was as simple as it may have seemed. As the truth behind the invasion and the previous Seven Heroes was slowly revealed, he began to have second thoughts about his choices.

3 answers

Growth is a common theme. The hero usually starts off in a state of innocence or ignorance and through their experiences, they grow and change. For example, in 'The Outsiders', Ponyboy grows from a boy who is just part of a gang to someone who understands the futility of the gang violence. Another theme is self - discovery. In 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden is on a journey to figure out who he really is in a world he doesn't quite understand. Also, facing challenges is a big theme. In 'Holes', Stanley has to face the harsh conditions of the detention camp and the mystery behind the holes.

Sure. 'The Catcher in the Rye' can be considered one. Holden Caulfield is on a sort of hero's journey as he tries to find himself in the adult world that he both fears and rebels against. It shows his real - life struggles and his attempt to make sense of things. 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' is also a good choice. Francie Nolan's journey through poverty and her pursuit of education and a better life is a story of perseverance. It's set in a realistic New York City environment and shows her growth as a character.

The hero's journey in Pulp Fiction can be seen through the lens of its non - linear narrative. Each character has their own arc that somewhat follows the hero's journey pattern. For instance, Butch. He starts in his world as a boxer, has a refusal of the call when he's supposed to throw the fight. Then he has his own set of challenges and allies as he tries to escape from the mob. His journey shows how the characters in Pulp Fiction are on their own individual hero - like quests within the chaotic world of the movie.

In westerns, the hero's journey often involves taming the wild frontier. For example, a cowboy might face challenges like outlaws and harsh landscapes. In science fiction, the hero's journey can be about exploring new galaxies or fighting against advanced technological threats. For instance, in 'Star Wars', Luke Skywalker's journey is to become a Jedi and defeat the evil Empire. The shift from westerns to science fiction shows an evolution in the concept of the hero's journey, from the physical challenges of the old west to the complex and often futuristic challenges in science - fiction worlds.
What are the common elements of the hero's journey in science fiction?
2 answers

The common elements include a call to action. In science fiction, it might be a threat to the universe or a discovery that demands exploration. Then there's the journey through a series of challenges. In 'Dune', Paul Atreides has to face the harsh desert environment, political intrigue, and the powerful Harkonnens. Allies are also common, like the Bene Gesserit sisterhood that helps Paul at times. And finally, there's the hero's return, either with new knowledge or having changed the world in some way, as Paul does in 'Dune' by becoming the Kwisatz Haderach.
