In my hometown of Aveen, there were plenty of Heroes, Heroes-In-Training, Would-Be-Heroes, etc, gathered together.
Some of them wanted to take down the Farde Rah, the local Dark Lord who was apparently up to something dastardly; others wanted to challenge the Gorganth The Blood Knight who was apparently coming to town for some unknown reason; most were here to intervene in the Angels vs Dragons vs Demons battle that was close at hand.
It sounded like a lot but it really wasn't. Aveen was certainly one of the hotspots of adventures but it really couldn't compare to the bigger cities. Those had hundreds of Heroes running around, along with tens of Events happening all at once.
But I didn't meet with any of those Heroes, as they preferred the markets or taverns. As the week counted down, everyone busily prepared themselves for the arrival of the Events. Meanwhile, I simply manned the desk at the library, passing the time by reading books.
Then, the day before Farde Rah was predicted to act, I had met with a Hero.
In a manner of speaking, it was a fateful encounter, perhaps even predestined.

Out on the street, a stranger ran into me, spinning me around as he unsheathed my sword, and yelled out, "I'm borrowing this!" while he kept on running. That was how I began the adventure of looking for the Blade Of Ten Heavens.

Pointing their weapon at me, he loudly proclaimed, "In the name of Justice, I shall defeat you!" That was how I became involved with the Magical Five And The Order Of The Basilisk.
