Realm of Heroes

**Realm of Heroes** (英雄の領域) is a term used by the denizens of the New World that refers to a margin of considerable power for those that have surpassed the natural limitations of their race.

## Background

In the New World, this moniker is usually reserved for those who possesses extraordinary ability and surpasses the realm of humans. Those under this category are called heroes or the hero class.

To reach the Realm of Heroes, individuals need to cross a clear line of strength. However only a handful have ever attained such a achievement, and may be unattainable by even if they are considered the strongest warrior in the surrounding nations or adamantite class adventurers.

## Abilities and Powers

The Realm of Heroes was a rank of strength only given to the likes of the strongest and transcended the realm of mortal ability.
Heroes would be regarded as individuals who would have dragons as their subordinates. Ordinary people were regarded as being unfit to reach such a peak.

There was a large difference between those who just stepped into the realm of heroes and those who were nearly outliers. For example members of the Holocaust Scripture, who specialize in killing heroes and were a step below in strength, could win against the former, it was impossible for them to triumph against the latter. Despite the title, heroes were not unbeatable and could still die through carelessness or accident. However the aphorism of that “Only a hero could stand against a hero” held true most of the time.

It was said that the 5th tier was within the Realm of Heroes. In addition a hero could kill a regular soldier with a single attack, be equal to an army of ten thousand and overturn the tides of battle by themselves.

Those that are just a step away or at the boundary of the Realm of Heroes, while not as strong as heroes were still considered powerful people. At that point they are between levels 25-30. Once individuals reached the Realm of Heroes, overall they would be around levels 30-35. Beyond that from levels 36+ such people would be regarded as outliers. For outliers go beyond the limits of heroes.

While those within the Realm of Heroes are considered to be a superior grade of beings in terms of magic and ability by denizens of the New World, they still pale in comparison to the powers entities from YGGDRASIL possess. Or their descendants like the God-kin.

## Trivia

* The Holocaust Scripture were specialized in eliminating heroes. And at one point around a hundred years ago the entire Scripture contained hero class members.
* Gazef Stronoff is able to momentarily step into the Realm of Heroes. Though later it was revealed that he only managed to do so only through a special item.
* At the time when Brain Unglaus was with Death Spreading Brigade, he had yet to cross into the Realm of Heroes. But by the time of the Fall of the Re-Estize Kingdom, Brain had finally entered the Realm of Heroes, surpassing the Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff.
* Momon is regarded as a "hero" though in reality he is an existence that cannot be defined as one.
* It seems that the purpose of the Re-Estize Kingdom was to be used as a breeding ground for humans, so that the Slane Theocracy could groom talented individuals into heroes to defend humanity.
* According to the Author Notes for Volume 13, if Rokesh and all the Outliers/Heroes of the Abelion Hills were to work together, they can be opponents worthy enough of being able to potentially challenge the Pleiades Maids.
* The Theocracy has a policy that one hero is better than a thousand soldiers. In an effort to improve each soldier’s individual strength the country force its military to wage the Theocracy - Elf War in a brutal way.
* In Mass for the Dead, Gazef Stronoff reaches the Realm of Heroes, after being contaminated by miasma and cured by the efforts of the Sorcerer Kingdom. The aftereffects afforded him greater ability and strength, that even Nigun Grid Luin estimated to be above a typical hero and perhaps even beyond an outlier. Sebas Tian ranged Gazef to have exceeded the Pleiades but was still below in power to a Floor Guardian.
