I Became the Successor of the Martial God

One fateful day, I found myself transformed into the main character of an extraordinary game. But this wasn’t just any ordinary protagonist role—I had become the chosen heir to the legendary Martial God. At first glance, this might seem like every gamer’s dream come true. Yet the deeper you examine this particular hero’s circumstances, the more you’ll find yourself shaking your head in disbelief.

The weight of this inheritance brought unexpected challenges that no tutorial could prepare me for. Unlike typical game heroes who start with basic skills, I was thrust into a world of impossible expectations. The more I learned about my predecessor’s legendary feats, the more inadequate I felt.

Every battle became a test not just of strength, but of worthiness. The path of the Martial God’s successor is paved with trials that break ordinary warriors. My journey quickly revealed why so few could walk this road—and why even fewer survived it intact.

Spectators and allies alike would watch my struggles with mixed pity and disappointment. Their sighs spoke volumes about the impossible standards I was expected to meet. This wasn’t just about winning fights—it was about living up to a legacy that seemed designed to crush its inheritor.

The game’s mechanics offered no mercy, and neither did its inhabitants. Each level up came with exponentially greater challenges, as if the universe itself was testing whether I truly deserved this title. The more I progressed, the clearer it became that becoming the successor was only the beginning of my suffering.

Yet within this crucible of expectations, I began to understand the true nature of the Martial God’s path. It wasn’t about matching someone else’s achievements—it was about forging my own legend through perseverance when all others would quit. The sighs of others became fuel rather than discouragement, pushing me beyond limits I never knew I had.

This game didn’t need to tell me it was impossible—the world showed me every day. But that only made my determination grow stronger. The successor’s journey wasn’t meant to be fair or easy, and that’s exactly what made it worth undertaking.
