"You have passed all of my trials my hero."
"…This can't be real; this must be a trick-"
"Therefore, I am declaring you as my champion and granting you the Sword of the First Light as your weapon.
"Dear God, how-"
"Walk in my name, strike on my behalf…"

Mission Conditions: …
Do you accept?
Yes No
While still in shock, he looked the list of equipment in notice, then he checked the conditions, which strangely seemed familiar from somewhere else.
However, while the offer was tempting, he knew he couldn't accept it. He knew that there were better players, suitable players or worthy players that deserves that mantle. "I cannot be the one. There are far more powerful or skilled players in whole Aincrad. Maybe that commander Heathcliff or that famous Beater. If I take this mission, all of these good items will be wasted." He put a last effort for least amount of resistance and kneeled before the woman "Forgive me for my questioning my lady, but while I am grateful for such an opportunity, there are more suitable players in Aincrad that can take the mantle. I fear that strength of these items might be wasted with me."
Woman smiled to him and raised his chin to look into his eyes "You think very poorly about yourself Ilsamor. There are almost infinite number of strength types and skills in the world. Skills can be discovered, and powers can be gained; however, a heart such as yours is hard to find. While you are good and just, you also have the will to do things that some people might not agree, like giving the just punishment to those who commit crimes. I assure you; you are my only and best choice for such an important mission."
Tears started to gather around his eyes, and with such heart-warming words he felt that his heart has surrendered to goddess that standing in front of him.
And without realizing his right hand moved to blue circle on the notification.
