After chanting, she completely transformed into a human torch and began to burn fiercely.

The flames spread in all directions, instantly devouring and vaporizing the invading enemy soldiers.

Countless civilians knelt on the ground in devout worship.

At that moment, they finally realized that their opponent truly was guided by the Lord.

She was not some so-called evil witch.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. They had personally sent Saint Joan to the stake.

They had personally killed the saint!

Countless white doves circled above the flames, their cries merging into a devout hymn.

At that moment, the golden hair of the saint burning in the flames suddenly turned silver-gray.

Her sapphire eyes became cold and emotionless amber-gold.

She gazed indifferently at all the civilians, and her figure likewise turned into specks of light and slowly faded away.

The Saint of Light had died, and the Vengeful Witch had descended!

[Video playback ended. Thank you for watching!]

[This was merely an ordinary experience in the life of the Nameless Heroic Spirit!]

[To find out what happens next, watch the next video!]

"It's over already???"

Luo Ya stared blankly at the black screen.

Wasn't this supposed to be an inventory of the Nameless Heroic Spirit's life?

Then.

She saw that a follow button had appeared on the video!

The Uploader [Alaya] had actually turned this into an anime series.

The first episode was titled [Vengeful Witch], which did fit the content of the first episode.

The unfortunate part was that there was no update time for the next episode at all!

The comments section had long since exploded—

[Two people committed suicide together in the flames amid the cheers of countless ignorant civilians. That was incredibly romantic!]

[I cried like a dog. They could clearly have survived, yet they chose to die heroically to awaken the civilians!]

[Ahhh, please update!]

[Fuck, is this the reason that the Catholic saint Joan from French history descended into the world and became the Dark Saintess?]

[Now we're just waiting for France's response. I wonder how His Majesty the Emperor will react...]

"What a damn cliffhanger!"

In the short few minutes of the edited video, Luo Ya had experienced the full rise and fall of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

She had to admit that the entire video looked as if it had been filmed for real, without the slightest trace of a fake performance using a green screen!

At that moment.

A little girl in a purple dress walked over and asked with concern, "Huh? Aya, why are you crying?"

She had ruby-like eyes and flowing silver-white hair.

Her delicate and adorable face made her look like a cute doll. She possessed tremendous talent in magecraft and was extremely popular at school.

"I'm fine, Ilya."

Only then did Luo Ya realize that she had actually started crying while watching.

Then,

She looked at the white-haired little girl before her and suddenly revealed a somewhat mischievous smile.

In the tone of a big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood, she said, "Ilya, I found a documentary about the Emperor of France, Joan!"

"Eh, Joan? Really?"

Ilya immediately looked surprised, her big eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Under Luo Ya's influence, she had also grown very fond of that forceful and imposing Emperor of France.

"Of course it's really about Joan!"

Luo Ya patted her flat chest lightly and guaranteed it.

Then.

Under her persuasion, the two of them secretly watched the entire video from the beginning during class.

When they saw Joan encounter danger, Ilya's eyes reddened slightly, and crystalline tears swirled in them.

Luo Ya hurriedly comforted her, and finally began to feel cheerful again.

Sure enough, this was how you were supposed to recommend things to others!

Let's enjoy this "healing" together!

At the same time.

Wei Gong walked through the campus, hearing everyone around him discussing that clickbait video—

"That Nameless Heroic Spirit is so cool!"

"So dashing! He descended to save you in your hour of need—he's practically the most classic knight-rescues-princess story!"

"Alas, France really doesn't deserve Joan's gratitude. The saint gave everything to save them, only to be betrayed!"

"I finally understand why Her Majesty Joan is so domineering. It turns out she just wanted to vent her anger!"

???

Wei Gong felt that something was strange. Why was everyone on the road discussing it? Wasn't it just a clickbait title?

He took out his phone and opened the app as he walked.

The moment he saw that the Uploader was [Alaya], his breathing instantly grew rapid.

It was that bastard who had made him work endless overtime, rushing to every battlefield to protect Human History!

"No, no, this is impossible. How could that guy possibly upload a video?"

Wei Gong took a deep breath and opened the video with a slight tremor in his finger.

When he saw a figure in a red cloak suddenly descend after the young saint encountered danger, his heart instantly stopped.

Because that Nameless Heroic Spirit in the red cloak was none other than him!

He was only a little shorter because he would continue growing and developing in the future!

Cold sweat broke out on Wei Gong's forehead. In a daze, he seemed to hear a voice—

"Master, you can't rest yet~"

Damn it, why would Alaya do something like this?

Wei Gong stopped walking, feeling a dull ache in his liver.

He had originally been an ordinary otaku, living in an ordinary world without Heroic Spirits.

Then he had accidentally transmigrated to a world where Heroic Spirits existed.

At the time, he had been an ordinary student. On a whim, he had gone to a blood donation center to donate blood for free.

After donating blood, Wei Gong had been carrying a box of milk home when he never could have imagined that he would be chosen as a Master.

Becoming a Master would have been fine. There had been forty-seven people ahead of him, so he should never have gotten the chance.

But Lev, the Grand Assassin, had blown up the forty-seven Masters ahead of him with a single bomb.

That had made him Humanity's Only Master!

It had all been fate's arrangement—

To hell with that! It was obviously Alaya trying to make things difficult for me!

From then on, Wei Gong had been forced onto the path of saving the world, forced to become a savior.

He traveled through Human History, helping one Heroic Spirit after another follow the correct course of human history.

He had even wondered whether he was being treated like a cheat-grandpa, brought in specifically to give those Heroic Spirits power-ups!

From Uruk to Britain, and then to the land of the Dragon Kingdom.

From the era when gods and humans coexisted to the modern age when mystery gradually faded away.

Every historical scene and every Singularity had borne the traces of his battles.

The endless fighting had long since exhausted him completely.

But all of that was in the past now.

After completing his mission to save Human History, he had returned to Fuyuki City, the origin of everything, and settled down.

Next,

Everything returned to an ordinary daily life.

He was seventeen years old, unmarried, and attending school in Academy City.

Every day, he would make it home by eight at the latest.

After tutoring Luo Ya with her homework, he would drink a cup of hot milk before bed,

do some push-ups and stretching exercises,

and only get into bed after completely relaxing his body, allowing him to sleep until dawn.

He never carried fatigue or stress over to the next day. Everyone around him said he was very healthy.

So why had Alaya released this edited video?

As he watched the blond girl in the video, countless memories surged into his mind.

The Nameless Heroic Spirit was his codename.

A nameless hero who walked through the darkness and silently saved the world—it had seemed incredibly cool to him back when he had still been in his chuunibyou phase.

Those were some truly unbearable memories of his chuunibyou days.

Joan had been the first target of his Human History protection plan.

When she had refused to be saved and wanted to awaken France's ignorant civilians through her death,

Wei Gong had deliberately chosen to endure the burning at the stake alongside her so he could make a cool exit.

Now that he was seeing this scene, he felt an unbearable sense of humiliation, as if he were being publicly executed—and countless people were watching and commenting on it!

Damn it!

He had clearly completed his mission to save Human History and now only wanted to be an ordinary high school student. Why did they still have to disturb his peaceful daily life?

Alaya had definitely done this on purpose, editing and exposing everything!

After sacrificing his own Spirit Origin to restart the world earlier, Wei Gong had effectively erased his own presence.

He had been erased from the memories of everyone and every Heroic Spirit, becoming a true "Nameless Heroic Spirit."

But now.

After Alaya released the video, she had granted him "existence" once again, which meant that the memories his acquaintances had lost would awaken!
