It was time. 

At long last, it was time for the greatest hero to bring to bear his legend. 

One man cannot change the tide of a war. One man cannot seal the heavens. One man cannot challenge god. 

-However, one man can create a system. For with that system, it becomes possible to step out of the bounds of humanity and into something Other. Like an army, attacking in concert again and again.

It is for this reason that he exists. A hero who commands the system that stands over all things exists here, displaying his transcendent might in full. Yes, while his patron God had laughed at him when he had told her he wanted to go into the Labyrinth, while the notion of half of his wares seemed nonsensical to reasonable humans, while the world itself seemed turned against him, he would maintain this system until his last breath.

Its name: Capitalism. 

Before this hero appeared a little girl, attempting to sell her wares. With this, an opportunity to display his power in full would be meted out. 

"One gold, four silvers."

Did it matter that he had not seen her wares? No, for he could not be weighed down by such pleasantries. 

For this was Tarou Tanaka.
