"I fully understand their feelings.”

Grid thought about it in reverse. What if a player he hadn’t heard about or wasn’t famous acquired a myth rated class while he was away? It wouldn’t be easy to understand. This was even considering the fact that the world was wider than imagined and there were many geniuses.

Becoming a myth wasn’t in the realm of talent and luck. It wasn’t enough to simply accumulate a number of unique achievements.

To become the object of worship and aspirations for people... it needed something that was hard to explain, even for Grid who had already experienced it. The something he was talking about here wasn’t transcendence. It was because worship usually came from understanding, while ignorance caused fear.

Grid reviewed his own epics. In the epics, he was mostly ordinary. No matter whether the subject was human or not, he was almost always with someone and communicated with them. He acted with good intentions as much as possible. No matter how much he thought about it, there was nothing special about the character of Grid. He just thought he had played a lot more, but it wasn’t enough to make him a myth.
