I will never own Fire Emblem Heroes. This is just something I thought of.

10/28/17

Some people think that I'm crazy. Others think that I'm quite a interesting character. Some see me as a savior. Others see me as the devil himself. Who am I?...it's up to you to decide.

My name was Kyren. I was a young man of 18 years, having just started my first year of college. There was quite a multitude of options, John Hopkins, Stanford, Harvard, etc...however, I had my sights on John Hopkins.

A student of my grades and activities could go into practically any college. Life had been boring for me, especially when I was one of the best at many things. Winning gets boring when it's always about the same stuff.

I drove down the street, going back home from the campus. My home happened to be quite close to the campus, so I didn't need to worry about dormitory or housing such as that.

As I parked the car at the side of a campus, my little brother came out. Very much like me, he was quite a genius, at 14 years old. As he got onto the car, he said, "So Kyren, how was college?"

"It was fine, Kenny." he snickered at the remark. "Which probably means boring." I sighed. "You know me too well, Kenny." While his proper name was Kenneth, I just called him Kenny for short.

While life was easy for us, being geniuses and all, everything had also become boring. At first, information seemed to be interesting for us. We kept reading the news, and kept searching on the internet to understand the overall situation with politics.

Then, came games. While they were undoubtedly fun when we first started playing them, I started to grow tired of the concept of games. It was as if they couldn't grasp a new concept.

PUBG, Fortnite, Overwatch, you name it. Yes, they were all fun. Yes, they had different goals, and sometimes different mechanics, but the concept was still the same. Shoot your opponent...such a brainless concept that even a 6 year old could think of.

Gacha games weren't any better. Games of chance, games that tested your very luck itself, only earned my further distaste. And then, RPGs. While they were fun at first glance, the concept was still the same.

Just beat your opponent. And there were rules! Limits! What did you mean, I can only use 7 moves in a battle? And to think that the enemy would just stand there awkwardly while you waited for your troops to finally talk was stupid as well. Heck, if I just needed to perform a few more movements to execute a hit that would be 3 times more powerful than my normal attacks, for me, it would be worthwhile to do these extra movements if my enemy's just going to stand there and wait for me to do so!

Even the newest hack-and-slash games didn't appeal to me. If a there was a gauge for a special move, then wouldn't that mean you got ENERGIZED instead of getting more tired with each strike?

Most of all, none of them had much meaning to it. Our teachers all taught us to be good students, to help others in times of need, and had I lived them all up? Definitely not. They were values that we never could live up to...or at least, they were values that I thought I could never live up to, though that thinking never affected my actions themselves.

Stopping the car as I parked into the parking lot, we both got off. I was 180 cm, towering over my brother who was only 172 cm. Ruffling his hair, I asked him, "So, has mom said anything?"

He shook his head. "Nothing that's really bad. Right, Kyren. What major did you take?" I shrugged. "I majored in film, minored in politics/debate." he smiled. "Yeah, politics is on my wish list as well. By the way, why do you wanna go for either?"

I entered the elevator with him, and went up to the top floor. "I suppose that filming is quite interesting for me. I've lived double lives before, each acting as a different person, with a different personality. Just...putting it on camera would be even better."

He glanced at me. "You suck at coding. You couldn't ever get any of that CGI in." I retorted, "Well, you suck at acting as well. You couldn't ever tell a lie without bursting out in laughter." he shrugged. "Fair enough."

While our parents provided a lot for us, it's not like they did anything beside that. Ever since he was born, I had been taking care of him, and besides my best friend, he was the person I cared about the most.

"Kyren, so how's your best friend doing?" I snapped from my daze. "Eh?...oh, right. Him. He's been missing from school for a few days, and even when he doesn't go missing, he often comes late. I wonder what the heck he's doing..."

My brother scratched his head. "Yeah...on a second thought, some of my friends have been doing some of the same things as well, though not as extreme as his case." I chuckled. "Even weirder, he once texted me, 'I LOST MY VIRGINITY, BRO! HAVE YOU?!'"

Kenneth nearly lost his lunch. "Pffff! What the hell, man?" I bit my lip. "Don't act so surprised. I know you know what hentai is." He rolled his eyes. "Kyren, can we not talk about that?"

I laughed a bit. "Hey, mom's not here. Anyway, I asked him who was it, and he said that it was some girl called Robin." my brother frowned. "Robin...I don't remember you talking about anyone with that name." I shrugged. "I thought she would be from our college...but, heck no."

Stepping out of the elevator, and opening the door, I looked at dinner, prepared for us. Sitting down to eat, my brother sighed. "So, why did you even let that guy beat you up at college? You could have easily punted his ass."

I raised my eyebrows. "Language, Kenneth." I warned him. I wasn't exactly keen on swearing, but strangely, I had no problem with swearing in my mother language, probably because it didn't have that much of a large effect on me.

"好啦。。媽的，這樣就沒事。。(alright...damnit, if I swear like this, I'm fine...)" I smiled. "對呀。我就是真麼難搞。（yep. I'm weird like that.)"

Half an hour later, I picked up my stuff. "I'll be going to my room, Kenny. Tell me if you need any help." Kenny shrugged. "Kyren, you know how smart we are. It's not necessary."

I gave him a warm smile. "Just saying."

A few hours later, I finished the last of my homework. Typing down the last few words, I stretched, and started to brush my teeth. Suddenly I heard a whirling of wind. I sighed. Had the window slipped open once again? Or was a prank from my broth-no, he was far too mature to do something as silly as that.

As I walked towards the window, I realized that it was still closed. Another thing caught my eye. A large gleaming red circle hovered in the middle of my room, right above my bed.

I looked at it closely, and noticed that it resembled...as if it was a small cyclone, a whirlpool. It was something that I definitely hadn't ever heard of in my explorations of the internet, though this might be what fiction often called portals.

Stuff like that usually didn't happen to me. I was the average-above-average student, brilliant but bored. So such a thing, was more of an interest to me instead of something that would send me into a state of panic.

Instead of doing the practical thing and calling the police or something, I felt inclined to go towards it, to touch it. Kiran would undoubtedly speak out against it, but then, we were very different. He couldn't control my curiosity.

Before I knew it, it suddenly sucked me in, and I started falling. Too scared to scream, I just kept on falling, waiting for the end, where I would be splattered like a pancake.

After three minutes, I could feel my descent start to slow down, and I looked at the white hole right below me, as if it was an exit. I dropped into the exit, and was deposited out of it, landing face-first into the hot mud. I picked myself up, wondering what the hell was actually happening.

"啥鬼。。。（what the heck?)" I said, as I saw a woman with rather large...breasts. I wasn't exactly interested in them, as I needed to know where the heck I was. "Where am I? What is your name?"

She giggled, and twirled her staff. "My name is Loki. I am the personal advisor of Surtr, the ruler of Muspell. Are you the legendary hero?" I looked at her, and noticed my clothes. I was now wearing a coat of white and gold, with a hood across my face. I threw it off, revealing my face.

"I suppose you can believe that I am the legendary hero you believe in if you wish. My name's Kyren." I scanned the place, a fiery volcano...but for some reason, I didn't feel any heat at all. What was going on? Could it be some legendary hero power or something?

Loki tapped a weapon at the side. "Well, if you are the legendary hero, you must be able to wield this weapon as well." I looked at it. It resembled a pistol, but of much elaborate design. "I suppose I may able to."

Picking it up, I flipped it, surprised at its light weight. "I like it." pulling the trigger, I fired few unknown projectiles into the air, and it created a small portal, in which a man fell out. "Hello, my name is Takumi. I am the second prince of Hoshido, wielder of the divine Fujin Yumi. Whatever is your business with me, spit it out quickly."

Another man fell out, having silver hair and wearing fashionable clothing. "My name is Virion. Pleased to be of service." A child fell out. "The name's Raigh. I must master the dark arts...so don't talk to me."

And lastly, a teenager feel out, resembling me, but having a lighter skin tone and lighter, shorter, hair. "I'm Matthew, servant of House Ostia. Pleased to be of service."

I heard a few soldiers yelling, and I looked at them. "Loki, who are they?" Loki glared at them. "They're Nifl soldiers, enemies of our kingdom." she placed her hand on my shoulder. "Kyren, Would you mind helping us in this instance?"

Shrugging, I nodded in agreement. "Very well, Loki. Takumi...kill the Nifl spear fighter." He nodded, and shot him down. "Raigh..move towards the Nifl axe fighter, and take him out with your tome." With a spell, Raigh killed the axe fighter as well.

I looked at Virion, Loki, and Matthew, wondering who to choose. Matthew, then. "Alright...Matthew...weaken all the enemies around." I said, checking his weapon. Apparently he specialized in weakening foes all around.

As the remaining enemies attacked, Matthew was hit by a Nifl sword fighter, and a Nifl archer, though he retaliated against the archer. I looked at them all. "Alright...Loki, heal him." I said, checking her staff's usabilities. She had psychic as for now.

Healing up Matthew, I then ordered Takumi to take out the Nifl sword fighter, and then used Matthew and Raigh to gang up on the bow fighter, killing him. "There we go."

As I went towards Loki, she smiled at me. "It seems that you're quite adept with tactics...our king is powerful, but I have to admit...he's not exactly the brightest around. I trust that you'll be able to help guide us."

I turnt around to look at her. "Aren't you his advisor? Won't you be able to guide him?" Loki laughed a little. "You see, Kyren...you happen to be the legendary hero, and have a much bigger name and reputation than me in the legends. You may...have a greater scope of influence on him than me."

I nodded. "Well...very well. However, I do expect him to at least treat me with respect, as I would to him." Loki shrugged. "Oh, he will. After all, you are the legendary hero."

More Nifl soldiers ran in, challenging them. As I looked at them, I swore. "媽的。。給我那麼多垃圾幹啥？(Damnit...what's up with giving me more trash?)" I looked at the opposition, full of axe fighters. They were big and strong, high in attack and defense...something that Raigh would break through, but then, he was only one mage. The others were all ranged units as well, meaning they wouldn't be able to retaliate.

I glared at Loki, giving a condescending tone as I spoke. "Is Muspell poor to the point that you have no other fighters?" Loki laughed. "Oh, summoner. You can't possibly think so lowly of us, eh?" I scoffed. "I let my expectations go down so I won't be disappointed."

Two swordswomen jumped into the fray, facing the Nifl axe fighters. "Loki, how're yyou doing?" Loki smiled. "Oh, we're doing great. Right now, the great hero has arrived, to help us in or conquest against Nifl." They looked at me. The one on the wyvern said, "OH? What's your name, O great hero?"

I responded, "My name is Kyren. Don't think that I can fight. I only have my wits, and this weapon that can summon warriors." I looked at the insides of it. "I'm afraid there are no more projectiles for me to use. However…I would like to see what you two can do."

The one with pink hair smiled. "Oh, we won't disappoint. Just get us to our full potential, and we'll serve you well" I looked at them. They both had a necklace, consisting of 4 silver stars. I looked at Loki, realizing that she had the same necklace, only 4 stars as well. I looked at the axe fighters, and examined their stats. They were all wearing 4 star necklaces as well. "Alright, you two. How may I refer to you?"

The pink-haired one said, "My name is Princess Laevatein. I don't talk much, but pleased to meet you." The one on the wyvern said, "My name is Princess Laegjarn, General of the Muspell Army. I am Laevatien's older sister, and it's good to have you in our service."

I nodded. "Alright….get the big guy out first." I said, pointing at an axe armor knight with a wicked-looking brave axe. If you fight the others first and get weakened by them, you'll become easy prey for him if he ever reaches you. So as a precaution, take him out first."

I moved Loki, using her to hit the axe knight, then used Takumi to shoot down an axe Pegasus knight. Then, I directed Laegjarn and Laevatein to gang up on the armor knight.

They savagely sliced at him with their swords. "Die…already." Within a matter of seconds, the axe armored knight was gone, and the other axe fighters became easy prey for the two princesses.

They headed towards me. "You're quite a dependable Tactician, Kyren. It seems that like this….we may be able to conquer Nifl!" I responded with a frown. "Wait…any idiot could have done that. Why are you praising me like that? Can't you see the various numbers on everyone? Stuff like various symbols, descriptions, etc?" They frowned."What numbers? What symbols?"

I then realized what must have happened. I was the legendary hero after all. Maybe…I would be able to see things that they normally wouldn't see. Hm…I guess that explained a lot. I looked at the Nifl soldiers. "How long have you all been fighting the Nifl soldiers?" Loki replied, "5 months or so."

I grinned. "Then….allow me to finish this war quickly." As they stared at me, obviously surprised at my boast, a few horses were heard, along with sounds of other animals.

A buch of Nifl cavaliers were seated on polar bears, ready to charge towards us. Their leader was a mage, someone using a green-coloured tome. "Muspell…soldiers! Show no mercy towards them!" The polar bears, along with their riders, charged towards us.

I glared at them, and thought quickly. "Okay, the lance bears have overall lower defense. The green mage on a horse will be easy prey for Raigh, so I'll save her for last. The ones with the axes and swords, I'll leave them as prey for Laevetein and Laegjarn, though I'll have Loki heal them up after they fight the red polar bears. And as for Matthew, I'll use him first to make it an easier fight for everyone. Yes…that's good."

Everything went according as I planned, and until the green calvary mage was the last one standing. She looked at me, holding her tome. I approached her. "Surrender, and I may spare you." She shook her head. "Never!" I frowned, wondering why she refused when it was obvious that she was overpowered. Maybe stupidity?

I looked at Raigh. "Finish her off." He activated Raurowolf, instantly knocking her off her horse. She got up on her horse again, and started galloping away.

I scratched my head. "Well…everything went as I planned." Laegjarn held out her hand. "Shall we keep on going? I nodded. "I will keep on going until we decimate the ones attacking us."

As our little group marched forward, we saw a a princess, wielding a lance. Laegjarn yelled at her, "Surrender, and we may spare you!" I personally didn't mind. If they joined us, then that would be more members. If they refused then they would be the perfect stepping stones to becoming more powerful.

The warrior with the lance spat. "Yield? Never! Soldiers, charge!" As we kept on fighting, I checked their stats, seeing who was the strongest. Laegjarn was the fastest and had the most defense overall, but she had pitifully low resistance. Laevatein on the other hand, had decent offensive stats, but she had mediocre defenses, and her speed was lower than her sister's, though she had more in power.

Takumi was undoubtedly better than Virion, as he had more speed and power as opposed to Virion, not to mention he had a legendary bow. Matthew wasn't the best for killing enemies, but he was quite good at making enemies weaker, to prepare them for the slaughter. Raigh was decent, though I wondered where that kid lived. Man, these clothes looked bad on him.

As I looked at the lancer, I noticed that she had some odd quirks. She had great resistance, and decent defense as well, and I noticed her special. It was soething called Ice mirror. I looked at it, and growled. This was meant to counter ranged enemies. It appeared that I really needed use someone, preferably melee, to take her out.

Someone who had both high speed, and good attack. I didn't have any green units as for now, but the overall situation had me figured out on what the concept of combat was.

Red was stronger against greens, blue was storng against reds, and greens were strong against blues. However, colorless foes had no clear advantage, or any clear disadvantage.

Maybe that was why they were all neutral ranged units…maybe there might be exceptions. But as far as I knew, colorless units could be either the most reliable or unreliable of fighters.

As we went on, I positioned Takumi to kill some of the flyers, and Virion to kill the rest. I then moved Laegjarn to engage an enemy, as she had the highest speed out of us all. And if having at least 5 speed over an opponent meant that one could double the other, this could potentially give one a huge advantage.

Laegjarn killed the green wyvern with a slice of her sword, and gaint 1 point of attack, 1 point of speed, and one more point of defense, able to double the lancer now. "I hope you can keep up results akin to this, Kyren."

Laevatein attacked the polar bear who charged towards her, and gained points in everyone of her stats. "I shine brighter…than ever." As Matthew hit a foe with one of his daggers, I positioned Loki to kill the weakened Niflem, finishing him off. She gained 2 stat boosts, SP and attack she gave a sly smile. "Oh, are you sure they're really the results you're seeing?"

As the troops were decimated, I looked at the lancer. "Surrender already."

She stood her ground, twirling her lance. "I an Fjorm, Nifl's second princess! And I will not be defeated by a bunch of punks like you all!" I nodded. "Very well…" With that, I sent Matthew to weaken her but much to my surprise, she counterattacked. "How?..." I looked at her lance, Leptir. "Oh…enables user to counterattack at any distance. I see….that explains a lot. Laegjarn, get her."

Laegjarn charged into the fray, battling the other princess.

As they fought, Fjorm swung her lance at Laegjjarn, hitting her. Laegjarn then retaliated, and activated her special. "This is how it's got to be." Charging at the enemy princess, she finished her off, knocking her back.

I went over to her, contempt in my eyes. "Yield already." She spit in my face. "Never." I wiped it off in disgust, as she disappeared, probably with warp magic.

As I went over to them, I congratulated the small squad, shaking each of their hands. "Good job, everyone." They waved it off. "Nah, it's really just due to your tactics." I smiled. "Hey, don't thank me yet until the real challenges have been conquered."

They nodded. "So…where to, now?" I looked around the place. It was a hellhole, reeking of war…but, those people, they actually seemed decent. Laegjarn herself was the most friendly, well mannered but yet playful around her sister.

Laevatein was less social, not saying much, but loved being around with her isster, or so I observed.

Loki was more of a mysterious figure. She had this condescending tone at times, and she was a bit naughty as well. However, she apparently seemed to have an interest in me, though I couldn't tell whether if it was because of my Breidabilik, or my looks, or my intellect.

I crossed my arms. "I would like to meet the ruler of this kingdom. Or should I say, your dad." I said, looking at Laegjarn and Laevetien.

Laevetein nodded. "Sure. We'll introduce you to him."

Half an hour later, I heard the king and his advisors arguing about the state of Nifl. "King Surtr, we've been on here for 5 months! Is it really worth it?" "Yes! WE must annex these lands!" "But King Surtr, 3 months was already a great toll, and that was only for our first kingdom! This one has taken 5 months, and I don't know if we can keep on going!" "At this point, we might even LOSE to Nifl!"

Loki, Laegjarn, and Laevatein urged me on. "C'mon. Go Impress him." I walked in, displaying a great show of both flamboyancy as I walked in. "Perhaps, I may be of help to the situation."

The biggest man, who was wearing a crown and also vaguely resembled a gorilla, said, "Who the hell are you? Explain youself, and your purpose, or else I, King Surtr, have you burnt to the stake." I bowed to him. "Oh, no need to be so violent, King Surtr. Of course I have a purpose."

Surtr looked at me. "State it, then." I began to speak. "O king, live forever! I announce that, if you employ my help, I can guarantee that the capital of Nifl will be taken over in within 1 month."

The advisers looked at me, incredulity in their eyes. "Who the hell do you think you are?" I glared at them. "I am Kyren, the Hero of Legend. And I'm quite sure that you are quite brave to speak to a legendary hero in a tone like that." They all gasped in shock. "He..he's the Hero of Legend?"

I laughed. "Not so brave anymore, eh?" I slipped over, sitting beside Surtr. "You've been on here for 5 months, and at this point, you might even lose. If I can make it in 1 month, imagine the amount of lives I could save, correct?"

They all nodded. Surtr glared at me. "Is there any proof to your skill?" I motioned to the three girls. "They can." Laegjarn went out. "Father, Kyren could be invaluable to our cuase. He can summon troops from other worlds, and he's a great tactician. Maybe…he could even beat the realm known as Askr, who is rumored to have a great tactician as well." Loki added, "He even defeated the two eldest princesses of Nifl, who are known to be great strategists as well.

Surtr looked at me. I was 18 years old, 180 cm, with long black hair, uncommon for boys my generation.

He then nodded, giving his approval. "Very well. I shall trust you. However…if you don't complete it in one month, I will have your head on a platter." I shrugged, unfazed by the threat. "Very well, Surtr. However…if I succeed, I desire some benefits as well."

Surtr looked at me. "And what are they?" I gave off an evil smile. "After we 're finished with your agenda…I'll invite you all to my world…to conquer it." Surtr looked at me. "Your world? Burn it to the ground?"

I nodded, utter contempt in my eyes. "I wish to destroy my own world…and make a better one in its place. After all…before creation, must come destruction, corrrrect?"

Surtr gave a grin. "I like your way of thinking, Kyren. What title shall you request of?" I replied, "My title…shall be Grand Summoner Kyren. Grand Summoner Kyren, of Muspell." I stood on the table, gaining the attention of the council.

"And from today, we shall keep on moving forward with Surtr's dream, annexing the realms across the universe. We shall reshape the universe into our vision, our perspective, our image! Hark! The hero of legends speaks! And you shall listen…and obey." I bent down, chuckling evilly as I intimidated them all.

A council elder stood up. "What makes you think that we will listen to you? You're so young!" I nodded. "True. I may be young…but by no means I am inexperienced, nor stupid."

I looked at them all. "Follow me, and you may see a brighter future for us all, as we walk through the flames. I stand here not as a hero of legend, not as the Grand Summoner of Muspell, but as your fellow man! A man who wishes to make the universe better for us all! Let us not give up on our dreams, but fulfil them, something that humanity has rarely achieved through the many centuries! Now…will you follow me or not? Are you a bold dragon - or a cowardly snake?"

A elder stood up. "You little piece of shit, you think you can convince us, thinking using loud and complex words, you can-" Laevetein slashed his spine out, and kicked him onto the table. "Cowardly snakes…are as good as dead." I smiled as they murmured, fear in their eyes and voices. "I hope all of you understand this. You have nothing to fear...unless if you oppose me."

Omake:

Kyren goes home. "Hi everyone! Here's my brother, who's just as smart but not as old as I am! Who am I? Gr...I should have told you earlier! I am Kyren, an intelligent youth who is probably more intelligent than you are- ooh, a flaming ethereal hole! I'll go in! Nothing bad gonna happen...right?"

Kyren jumps in, and then gets sucked into the portal. "Weeeeee!" when he first gets out of the portal, he meets Loki. "You're the legendary hero!" "And you're Tits McGee!"

Loki stares at him. "...I have a feeling you don't have a lot of friends."

"Shut up! It was mutual!"

Thank you so much for reading this! This just came out as a shower thought, but I'm planning on continuing this.

Edit: as of 6/21/18, I will be adding omakes to the end of each chapter.
