I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

I had no choice.

If I didn't do it, everyone was going to die.

What would you have done in my position? I was the Hero! They were all counting on me!

Upon my resurrection, I knew I had to do something to defeat the villain and also revive the people who placed their faith in the Hero.

That was why...

... I had to resort to it.

Even Damien never resorted to this until he was extremely desperate in the third round. It was something I couldn't have achieved without the right Skillset.

Fortunately, I possessed everything at the time of the crisis.

I had the three most essential elements.

The [Miasma] and [Runecrafting] Skills.

And then the [Demon Contractor] Title.

Add that to my knowledge of the proper method—the atmosphere of carnage and the offering of valuables—I was able to achieve it.

I summoned Death.

I defeated the enemy.

I resurrected the people.

I won!

... But at what cost?

Well, don't mind me. This is simply a rant. The events of the invasion of Dulum is already behind us, right?

Even though the consequences remain with me, I can say—for what it's worth—that if I was placed in the same situation now, I would still make the same choice.

That's the kind of guy I have become...

... The Hero of this world.

[Two Weeks After The Demonic Crisis]

In the lovely town of Dulum—also known as the Adventurers City—everyone was busy at work.

From the common folk, to the Adventurers, to even the Golems and Demons.

The once known city of iron had been demolished due to the assault of the Demonic forces—especially the Demon Lord Valefor.

He rained evil Spells and decimated the area. He did his best to defeat the Hero and struggled all he could—succeeding only in devastating property.

Ultimately, the almighty Legendary Dragon Slayer, now known as the Hero, stopped him. Unfortunately, a clash between two powerful forces left everything in their path destroyed.

The Hero successfully defeated the Demon Lord and captured the surviving Demon Army... but at what cost?

The city was in ruins.

However, despite all of this, the people wouldn't dare to blame the Hero. No, why would they?

He had graciously preserved their lives and won a battle that would have ended in their absolute annihilation.

They praised the Hero many times over, and would have been content with all he had done. However, much to their surprise, he offered to do even more.

In all his kindness, the Hero decided to help rebuild Dulum!

Using his immense wisdom and unconventional materials, the Hero decided to renovate the whole city. The whole City of Dulum would be remade into something more glorious.

Almost everything had been ruined, anyway, so the people had no complaints.

The Hero introduced the concept of bricks, cement, and a new housing system they weren't used to.

He showed them images that he conjured from his mind, showing them structures he called 'Models' or 'Plans'.

He taught them many things within this short time, building their intellect to a level where they could comprehend the bare minimum of the Hero's supreme wisdom.

The more he spoke, the more they understood how profound he was.

But, that wasn't all that was amazing about him.

With their current population and ability, Dulum was doomed to spend months—if not years—rebuilding their City. However, the Hero wouldn't have that.

The Golems he had utilized for war were rebuilt using his amazing Runes, and the Demons he enslaved were put to work.

Of course, the denizens of the City were a little on edge when they realized how they would be working alongside Demons.

However, after a completely breathtaking explanation from the Hero about how the Demons had enslaved humans for so long, and how it was now finally time for them to pay their dues... everyone was riled up.

None of the Demons could break free from the Hero's power, so they remained docile and harmless—wholly focused on performing their tasks.

With the Demons' assistance, and the Golems constant help, the city had experienced so much growth in just two weeks.

Before long, the residents would finally be able to sleep in their warm houses rather than the many tents that the Hero provided.

It was simply beyond glorious.

This new and improved Dulum stood in everyone's mind as they constantly kept working—their thoughts constantly in praise of the genius Hero who was practically rebuilding the City.

A single chant rang in everyone's mind, up to the point where it became a song—no, an anthem! Everyone in Dulum knew it at this point.

It was the most sublime, most true statement that the entire population of Dulum could agree on.

"All Hail The Hero!!!"

"Ah... I think I'm in trouble."

As I sat in my study—located in one of the few completed buildings within the new and improved Dulum—I was distraught by my current situation.

Things had gotten so bad so fast.

"The resources... they're almost depleted."

After my big stunt where I made a deal with an ArchDemon and practically saved the day, I was left with very little resources to work with.

The big stockpile of resources I had been eyeing was used as an offering for Death, leaving me with the ones I had kept for myself in my Inventory.

I thought those would be used as my personal fortune, but reality had a different fate in store for me.

To rebuild my destroyed Golems, I needed Magic Circles. To use those, I needed Mercury and Mana Chalk.

I ended up using a great deal to repair my army. But, that was only the beginning.

The devastated city required heavy construction, and it felt irresponsible for me to simply leave Dulum while they went through such a difficult time.

'This city is broke...'

The Great Helios Labyrinth was practically useless, at this point since the monsters that should have occupied it no longer inhabited it.

And why would they? There was nothing of value there any longer.

Besides, the monsters were all dead.
