Happy Endings Are Lies - 15 Chapter 15- Outstanding my foot!
He decided not to think to much about it.
“Well, why am I here? I know you wouldn’t just bring me here to congratulate me.”
The Gods looked at each other. “Well…as you know…your status is a bit…”The Jokester said wryly. “too powerful”
“Yeah I can tell.” Denear said coming to a realization. ‘ The highest level in that world is Lv100 but their stats are so low, and my stats are soooo high even though i’m Lv1. Since my stats are so over-powered, if other people found out, then it will cause some chaos and some people will try to take advantage of me.’
Hexros stood up. “So we decided to help hide your status. I bet you’ve noticed that your status screen is kinda different than others.”
“Yeah…” Denear, said slowly.
“Well, we call it, THE AGAIN LIFE SYSTEM.”
‘The again life system, huh…..’
“We shouldn’t talk to much, so i’m just gonna give you a skill to hide your status.” Hexros stood up and touched Denears forehead.
[System: Congratulations for receiving the skill >>Status changer<<]
Smiling, he said,”This will actually be a big help. After all, I just want to live peacefully. So thank you.” Everyone nodded, except Dabus the God of wine. He was still asleep on the table for God knows how long. Never mind, let me re-phrase that, He was still asleep on the table for WHO FREAKING KNOWS HOW LONG!” But who cares!
He stared at him for a second and said his goodbyes to all the other Gods. Everything became blurry until he finally regained his consciousness. He was back in the room with the light surrounding him dispersing. He quickly activated the status changer skill and did a complete status make over.
The priest then shouted “All done!” and a medium sized screen popped up in mid air. Judging at the direction everyone in the room was staring at, everyone could probably see it and not only Denear.

At this time, Denear was already disappointed with himself. It is to be expected. Compared to his real stats, this is not even 1/100th. However, if he wanted to live a normal life, he had to do this. He was already prepared to face the embarrassment when he suddenly saw the smiling and excited expressions of everyone’s faces ‘HUH!?’, even the priest seemed to look at him like he is genius or something between those lines. They even started to clap at a slow tempo but it increased the longer they continued. ‘What!? But the stats are so weak!?”
The guards that came with him started to jump up and down hugging each other while celebrating as if they had just survived a bloody war. Some screamed “Young master is the a prodigy!!!” some others “Long live the Cornelius household!!”
‘WHAT THE HELL!!! WHY IS EVERYONE SO HAPPY?!!! WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOU JUST WON A TROPHY!?” He was unsure of what to do.
The priest finally regained his senses and came up to him. “Congratulation Young master Denear! Out of all the children I have seen, you are the most outstanding by far!”
‘Outstanding………OUTSTANDING!!???’ He was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. ‘I changed my stats to such a poor state and your calling it outstanding!? Outstanding my foot! This isn’t what I wanted!’ He just decided to go with the flow.
“Thank you so much.” He said, while smiling an unnatural forced smile. But no-one noticed since they were too busy celebrating while others were in shock.
The guards were so excited they ask him if they could go on ahead to report the good news to his father. Denear decided not to stop them. This was his chance to explore the city on his own. The temple was situated in a big city named Sendora. Let me just tell you its origins.
Sendora was founded by a man whose name is unknown. Everyone in the entire world knew the man. “The Last Olympian” was what people called him. He is called that because he was the last descendant from the last Roman from Rome. Denear researched about him since in his old world there was also a country called Rome in his old world.
It was not the largest empire in the world, but it was still a very good country. The Ancient Romans fought many battles and wars in order to expand and protect their empire. There were also civil wars where Romans fought Romans in order to gain power. There were a lot of major battles and wars that the Romans fought. The Punic Wars were fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 BC to 146 BC. Rome was not as peaceful as you would think but there is no real peace in any world anyways. The Romans were natural born warriors since ancient times.
So the question is……… How did the Rome in this world, who were warriors in my old world, fall? How did the last descendant of Rome just disappear, never to be seen again? Those are the questions of everyone who hears his story. His great tale of slaying dragons, saving villages, towns, cities and countries. Especially saving damsels in distress. He was pretty well known for also being called “The Oblivious Playboy”. But anyways, he fought with strong comrades who stood by his side. Also disappearing from the world. Unknown to people if they still exist since that was over 400 years ago. The legendary party which consists of 5 members. They were known as ” THE SHADOW HEROES” since throughout history, their real names, faces, powers, age, and identities, except their genders, have not been discovered.
What people know is that his last quest was to challenge………………….The Gods.
