A/N: I forgot I now have to update the book <:v
Also I will write with ":" instead of """" now. Makes it easier.

???'s POV:
You... you are one of them...
One of what? I JUST REALIZED I EXIS-
Villager: You are... a he- WAIT! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!
...what?
???: kill you? W-WHY WOULD I KILL YOU!? UMM- WAIT YOU WANTED TO LIT THE PORTAL RIGHT? HERE JUST LET ME-
As I grabbed the stones, they shined. one was red, the other one was green. I struck them with all my might.
Villager: WAIT!! DON-
And I saw literal hell.
???: HOW DO I TURN IT OFF!!
Villager: JUST- DROP THE STONES
So I dropped them and the portal turned off.
???: WHAT WAS THAT!
Villager: WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING!
???: I JUST WOKE UP WITH NO MEMORIES AND AFTER THINKING I WOULD DIE, I WAS LUCKY TO FIND A PATH THAT LED TO A VILLAGE AND THIS SOMEHOW ENDED UP WITH ME SEEING HELL... why were YOU screaming?
Villager: Wait... no memories? That's new.
???: Rude.
Villager: Wait- sorry, just thought out loud. to answer your question, I never saw a hero freaking out that bad.
???: Oh. But I am no he-
Villager: It's a type of race. There are humans, orks, goblins, elfs, gnomes, dragons, heroes, golems, and many more. Even vikings are a race of their own.
Hero's POV:
Hero: But what makes me different from a human?
Villager: Well... you are capable of doing magic. A human is just a normal human. A hero can do magic, and a viking get stronger, faster.
Hero: Why are you so calm even if you were freaking out moments ago?
Villager: I saw hell,tried to change topic and you brought it ba-
Hero: Not that. You were scared of me.
Villager: I already told you what other heroes did. If I enter into details... I'm afraid of what might happen. That made me remember. I might have to warn the village about you... unless you want the other to freak out, too.
Hero: ...Right. I don't want that to happen. I don't want to scare anyone, nor do I want whatever you were afraid of to happen. Please warn the others.
And I watched as he walked away. His last words before going were:
Villager POV:
"You might want to go find somewhere to stay for today. It's getting late and not everyone will greet you with open arms."
Hero: How? IF I CAN'T GET TO THE VI-
Villager: USE THE PORTAL THEN!!
Hero: oh. OH.
How stupid must someone be to forget the portal in front of them?
Anyways, I gotta set up a meeting in the tavern.
~Timeskip~
(A/N: Since there will be multiple villagers, the one whose POV is showing will be called "POV villager")
Chief: Please... tell me this is about the portal...
POV villager: Yes and no. Sad part is, we have a new hero in town. Good part is he has no memories and even was kind enough to try help us escape! 'Even if that went terrible...'
Cheif: Don't tell me you forgot. He may have no memories, but he is still a hero. Heroes aren't all bad, but they are too greedy and full of themselves.
POV villager: But sir! He tried to help us escape even after I freaked out at him! He, himself said, and I quote: "I am not a hero" before I explained about the races!
Random villager: Wait... That contradicts him being-
POV villager: You can't tell me he is greedy, nor is he full of himsel-
*BOOM*
And as I was saying that... an explosion was heard. I was scared shitless.
'Did... Did he betray me?' I thought. I figured 'No... If he wanted he could've done it long ago...'
By this point, people were running directly towards the sound. After all, all these years with such destructive beings made us resistant to fear, used to having to run towards danger.
Cheif: Maybe he isn't greedy nor full of himself, or maybe he was acting. You know FIRST-HAND how some might try to befriend us just to see the look of despair we make... I thought you'd learn after the first one.
After scolding me, the cheif ran full-speed towards the sound. He is the fastest of the village, and I can barely keep up with him. (A/N: Remember that these are normal humans, but they are normal humans that had to deal with monsters able to kill heroes for enough time to let evolution do it's thing.)
The closer we were to the source of the explotion, the more people we noticed. Some stopped moving. Others were muttering between themselves. As we made it to the source, I froze. It was the portal.
POV villager: The portal... i-it's...
POV villager: IT'S OPEN!!! HE OPENED IT!!!
*Before timeskip, Hero's POV*
As the villager walked away before I got a chance to ask his name, I remembered my current mission: Turn on the portal.
*After timeskip, still Hero's POV*
I have seen multiple universes and none of them are peaceful. Not as bad as hell... except the 4th one, that one was the worst.
Up until now... I heard a voice say.
'Shit. I went crazy with the portals.'
Nope~. I am real. I think. I could help you if you want. There are few places you could choose. The golem universe should work, right?
Hero: Why would you help me-
Cuz I'm bored.
'ouch'
Did you expect some "because you are the chosen one" bs? Nope.
'No, but to be someone's toy...'
You want help or not?
'Sure, but-'
Okay then. Put your arms apart.
'ermm... like this?'
Wrong pose. Spread your legs a bit more
'Lol you sound like a per-'
Don't you dare finish that sentence. Anyways, look at the stones.
'...THEY ARE SILVER.'
Exactly. struck the stones
I struck them, and the portal exploded... kinda. It sounded like an explosion, but it just opened.
And I saw what could only be described as a version of paradise. Golems, some which would make it up to my knee, others which doubled or even tripled my height, a meadow covering everything the eye could see, with some mountains here and there. Weirdest part being that everything except the flowers were different tones of silver and gray. It was so... peaceful.
I noticed the village was gathering around.
...Maybe because of the explosion noise...
I saw someone with a beautiful wooden crown, with flowers and feathers. He looked more surprised than everyone else.
Cheif: Only... one...
Hero: What?
Cheif: I have heard... of only one other being capable of opening the portal to the golem's. Well kid... You now are part of this village. For now, that's your life. Got it?
At this, I couldn't help but smile.
Hero: GOT IT!!
Cheif: So...
Now that you are starting your life as a villager, you need a name, at least.
