RadiUsa Quest: The Goddess Who Broke the World and the Hero Who Made It Worse-Part 1: The Beginning of Everything That Went Wrong-
This English adaptation was created with the assistance of ChatGPT. Rather than being a literal translation, it has been adapted to preserve the humor, pacing, and spirit of the original for English-speaking readers.
Episode 1
Apparently...
I'm the Hero.
A beautiful woman claiming to be a goddess appeared before me and informed me that my peaceful village life was over. I was destined to leave home and save the world.
Our village has an enormous stone with the Legendary Sword embedded in it.
Every year during the Harvest Festival, the village's young men take turns trying to pull it free as part of an old sacred ritual.
This year...
The ritual ended.
Because I actually pulled the sword out.
Episode 2
The instant I drew the Legendary Sword, a breathtakingly beautiful woman appeared in front of me.
At first I thought only I could see her.
Apparently not.
The entire village was staring at her.
Then our bald village chief—who usually acts like he owns the world—walked over with a grin.
"So... you were the Hero all along."
Why is he suddenly acting friendly?
...Yeah.
Still can't stand the guy.
Episode 3
And that's how I ended up setting off on a journey with an actual goddess.
I hate occult nonsense.
But once it literally appears in front of you, arguing feels kind of pointless.
The village chief gave me a tiny travel allowance and an adventurer's bag.
Seriously?
You couldn't spare a little more?
Still...
The bag is incredible.
It can hold up to 255 items.
Episode 4
Is this goddess really... a goddess?
She has an alarming habit of searching through other people's houses.
What's even stranger is that nobody seems to mind.
That part honestly scares me more.
After one thorough "inspection," every stash of cash hidden in dressers across the village had mysteriously vanished.
Serves the chief right for being so cheap.
...
Lady Goddess?
You're taking the wine too?
Episode 5
The villagers don't even react to being robbed.
That's deeply unsettling.
Let's just leave before I start asking questions.
Lady Goddess, let's put the Strength Seeds and the medicinal herbs into the bag.
"Come on! Next village!"
...
She said that with far too much enthusiasm.
She's absolutely planning to loot another town.
Wait...
What if she isn't the Goddess of Light...
What if she's the Goddess of Theft?
And with that comforting thought...
Our adventure officially began.
