“There's not a drop of hero's blood in my whole body, so spare me the praise. I'm just an ordinary guy, and proud of it. I'm here because I put in the time.

So please, hold off on all the hero talk.” WholeBodyGuyGamesWonderBloodSpecialProudHeroVictoryPleaseProveOrdinaryPraiseLuckFingersInevitableTwinsSparesCoincidenceProve ItResetBlistersActivation Author:Hiroshi Sakurazaka
