777.

‘Did only my soul come to this side? Then what happened to me in the original world?’

Leo retraced the situation before crossing over to the parallel world.

The door to the parallel world created by Nix.

When he touched that door, Leo was sucked into the entrance of the parallel world.

And….

‘The world outside the mirror seemed like time had stopped.’

Leo fell into thought, recalling the situation before crossing over to the parallel world.

‘Then is time in the original world stopped?’

He scratched his head vigorously.

Leo didn’t know anything about this either.

The fact that the situation in the original world wasn’t very good also made Leo worry.

‘What time is it exactly now?’

To check the time since coming to this side, Leo took out a pocket watch from his chest and opened the lid.

Click-!

Leo, who checked the watch, momentarily froze.

It was already evening time when the sunset had completely faded.

But the watch was still pointing to around lunchtime.

‘Is it broken?’

He stared quietly at the watch.

After staring for a while, the second hand that was pointing to the seconds moved one tick.

Seeing that, Leo thought.

‘Could it be moving according to the original world’s time?’

If so, it meant the flow of time between this side and the original world was completely different.

Leo closed the watch lid.

“So? Did Erebos fragments revive on this side too?”

After hearing Leo’s explanation about the parallel world and organizing his thoughts, Arron shook his head.

“No. Erebos fragments haven’t revived yet.”

“Then Risinass and Luna must have a lot of worries.”

Since Kail, who could defeat Erebos, hadn’t revived, it would be a similar situation to the Heroes of the Cataclysm.

“Yeah. That’s why Risinass tried to find your Hero Record somehow.”

“He tried to inherit my power through the Hero Record.”

“Yeah. That’s part of it, but….”

“But?”

“Risinass missed you a lot. He wanted to meet you.”

“What about Luna?”

“Luna thought of ways to defeat Erebos through magic. She boasted that she could defeat Erebos even without Kail.”

“I can clearly see her shouting that someone like me isn’t needed.”

“Yeah, that’s right. But whenever news of Kail’s Hero Record came up, she’d rush over eagerly. Even though she said that, Luna seemed to miss you a lot too.”

At Arron’s words, Leo smiled bitterly.

Risinass and Luna from another world.

‘I can’t imagine what they must be feeling….’

The two people from the original world knew that they had died.

And knowing they could no longer be together, they conveyed their feelings.

At least those two had expressed their hearts to him.

But….

‘The Risinass and Luna on this side haven’t.’

Their situation was opposite to his.

For those two, they could never convey their feelings forever.

“This time too, Risinass stopped Luna from coming here. The Monster Queen’s movements in the northern part of the continent were suspicious.”

“Silatuna is still alive?”

“Yeah.”

“What the hell have you guys been doing? I defeated not only Silatuna but even the Giant King. You’re so lazy.”

“Wow! Really?! Amazing! That’s Kail for you!”

Arron’s eyes widened as he smiled brightly.

Looking at such Arron, Leo made a strange expression.

If it had been Risinass, Luna, or Dweno in front of him.

Any of those three would have shown a sharp reaction the moment they heard they were lazy.

But Arron was purely busy praising Leo.

Newly realizing why Risinass was particularly kind to Arron, Leo said.

“You guys still don’t have any means to deal with Erebos, right?”

“Yeah. But it’s okay now. Kail is here, right?”

Looking at Arron smiling brightly, Leo fell silent.

‘I’m here….’

Looking up at the night sky that had completely arrived, Leo let out a deep sigh.

“….”

At the cafe entrance.

The Ajonia third-years, blocked from entering by the staff, quietly watched Kar having a conversation with Leo.

“What on earth are they talking about?”

Rwen perked up his fox ears.

But he couldn’t hear the conversation.

Because Leo had blocked the sound with magic.

When the other students also shook their heads, Rwen looked behind him.

“Ar. Can you hear anything….”

“Unforgivable. Unforgivable. Unforgivable. Monopolizing Kar senior! Unforgivable. I’ve never had a private meeting like that…! Unforgivable.”

Ar looked at Leo with eyes full of resentment.

Ar already had accumulated feelings toward Leo, who had continuously harassed her tail.

Looking at Ar glaring at Leo, Rwen asked Dion.

“Ar has never had a private meeting with Kar senior?”

“Do you think they would have had a private meeting when the senior is afraid of Ar?”

“Still…. She’s supposedly his most cherished junior, right?”

“Even if he cherishes her, scary is scary.”

Hearing Dion’s words, Rwen shook his head vigorously.

***

Whooooooo-

The cold northern wind blew.

On the road to Seirun’s Warp Gate.

A human girl with black hair carrying a travel bag was walking through the snowstorm.

Behind such a girl, an elf of similar age was following.

Eventually, the human girl standing in front of the Warp Gate glanced at the elf who had come to meet her and sighed.

“Did you come to meet me? Or did you come to complain because you’re dissatisfied?”

“I came to meet you.”

“That’s not the face of someone who came to meet someone, though?”

At the words of Lumern’s student council president, Reia Phili, Seirun’s student council president Roon Orweni frowned deeply.

Roon’s fierce expression that made Seirun students tremble.

But Reia didn’t care.

It would make Seirun students tremble in fear, but from Reia’s perspective, it was just about the level of throwing a tantrum.

“To misinterpret someone’s pure goodwill. You’ve been like that since the old days. Risinass.”

“Roon. My name is now Reia Phili. Your name is Roon Orweni. I’ve told you many times not to call me by my old name.”

Reia said with a sigh.

Rea, the reincarnation of Risinass, spoke after reuniting with her friends.

She suggested they establish their identities not as the Great Heroes who existed in the past, but as people living in this current era.

The reason she emphasized this fact was simple.

‘We’re living in different times. Let’s forget the unhappy past and live in this new era. And for the future… this time, let’s completely defeat Erebos.’

Risinass was right.

The new era that the Great Heroes now had to live in was not the world that had been heading toward destruction in the past.

A name is both a symbol and identity that represents a person.

Old names bring back old thoughts.

Old thoughts hold back a person from moving forward.

Risinass was wary of that.

‘Come to think of it, convincing them was even harder than it was 5000 years ago.’

Risinass let out a deep sigh.

The current era was the time the Great Heroes had wished for more than anyone else.

For Luna, who had wished to see the limits of magic, it was a world filled with infinite possibilities.

Risinass’s words about abandoning those possibilities and preparing to fight Erebos, who might resurrect at any time, didn’t reach Luna.

Arron, who was timid and desperately wanted a world where children could live peacefully.

Such Arron felt fear just from hearing the suggestion to fight Erebos once again.

Dweno, who called himself an artist, also didn’t want to care about anything other than dedicating his life to art.

‘…I couldn’t blame them.’

Risinass knew all too well how cruel those words about fighting Erebos once again were.

‘I know everything.’

What his comrades had sacrificed in the fight against Erebos.

How terrible the pain was that they gained in exchange for those sacrifices.

‘I know better than anyone.’

Because he had experienced the same thing himself.

That’s why he couldn’t say anything to his comrades who refused.

But…

‘In the end, we’re heading toward the same place again.’

Infinite possibilities and safe peace.

And a beautiful world.

Though it was the world the Great Heroes had wished for more than anything, the three of them knew better than anyone.

The fact that no matter what they left behind, crisis would someday come to this brilliant era.

5000 years ago.

What remained in this world that they ultimately couldn’t finish with their own hands.

‘Most importantly…’

Risinass’s eyes darkened.

‘We’re living in this world again because Kail didn’t give up.’

What they had passed on to others.

Who had the hardest time at the final moment in the end.

The Great Heroes knew better than anyone.

So the Great Heroes came together again.

Though they weren’t always together like 5000 years ago.

Now each had their own duties to fulfill in their respective positions.

The cradle of hero candidates who would become heroes in the future…

They had to raise future comrades to fight alongside them at the Hero Academies.

Along with that weighty mission, there was something else they had to do.

Presenting evidence that the Hero of the Beginning, Kail, actually existed.

The reason Risinass enrolled in Lumern wasn’t simply to build strength to fight against Erebos.

‘To find traces of Kail.’

Risinass clenched his fist tightly.

When he reincarnated and heard the stories of the Great Heroes.

What pained Risinass the most was the fact that the Hero of the Beginning, Kail, was treated as a fictional character.

When he heard that there was no evidence anywhere in this world that the Hero of the Beginning had existed, it felt like his heart was collapsing.

It wasn’t just Risinass.

The other Great Heroes also tried their best to prove Kail’s existence somehow.

But they never found it in the end.

There were no stories related to Kail in their Hero Records.

Even Kail’s Hero Record hasn’t been discovered.

Without evidence, no one believed that Kail had actually existed.

‘Some children in Ajonia seem to believe Arron’s words completely, but…’

Even that was only a very small number.

‘The world needs to know.’

Risinass bit his lip.

‘Who made it possible for this world to continue existing…’

“Why do you keep saying to forget the past?”

Then Luna spoke in a cold voice.

“Well…”

“Because it hurts to think of Kail. Do you mean we should forget Kail too?”

“What?”

“The fact that I’m Luna, Progenitor of the Starry Skies, doesn’t change before I’m Roon, the student council president of Seirun. Likewise, the fact that you’re Risinass, the King of Wisdom, doesn’t change before you’re Rea, the student council president of Lumern. Yet you keep saying to forget our past names.”

Luna bit her lip tightly.

“Tell me honestly, Risinass. Don’t you secretly want to forget Kail?”
