"How is it? The scenery you see is the homeland of the nameless hero who carried the Core Flame of Kephale: Aedes Elysiae."
"When he was still a young boy, a series of heroic fantasies sprouted in his heart: he sometimes imagined that the wooden sword in his hand was a heavy iron weapon..."
"Sometimes I imagine a scarecrow propped up by a stick, a legendary giant with a single blood vessel running from its spine to its heels..."
Suddenly, ' Lygus ' appeared behind Xing, holding a cup of milk tea in its hand.
Xing turned around, her gaze immediately locking onto the Lygus's hand, and alarm bells rang in her mind!
"My milk tea... how did it end up in your hands?!"
"Hehe~ Compared to the ' Cognition Anchor,' this item is far more dangerous. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of making this decision, and I hope you will not mind."
' Lygus ' bowed gracefully to the rising sun and continued, 'Sometimes he fantasized about defeating the giants and becoming a hero who would protect the world—of course, for him as a child, "the world" was just this small village.'
"These are Phainon's memories?" Xing asked, puzzled. What did this have to do with the Re-Creation?
And... I never would have guessed that Phainon used to be such a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).
"Your sense of humor remains as sharp as ever. My story is not a farce; this memory you are seeing is the beginning of his journey into a new world..."
"And I promise you, your role will be substantial..."
"This is a man's earliest Remembrance. To avoid leaving you sitting here feeling bored, I hope you will consider it an 'immersive drama'..."
"Play the role of the most important companion throughout Phainon's life, a 'nameless hero' who always guides him forward but never leaves his mark in the history of Amphoreus, and appreciate this journey from the best vantage point."
Who can be a constant presence throughout his life?
Xing had no idea what she was going to do. ' Lygus ' was definitely not a simple person. She had gone from being a behind-the-scenes manipulator to a director.
"Hehe~ You must have many questions in your mind. Why don't you follow in his footsteps first?"
In this small village shrouded in " Veil of Eternal Night," many secrets await discovery...
"As the performance unfolds, I believe your doubts will be resolved."
Phainon walked up to Xing at that moment, "Feeling much better, huh? Come on, let's go, Cyrene."
Meanwhile, the " Eternity " audience seats outside the world
"Oh~ Is the real main storyline finally about to begin?!"
Silver Wolf instantly perked up; she had to sit up and see. She immediately moved from the soft bed to the sofa.
"You're having a good time, turning this audience area into a game room."
Silver Wolf waved his hand, "Hey~ It's just a quick thing. Want to play?"
Silver Wolf handed the game controller to Ye Yan, who was tasting milk tea. This guy truly lived up to his reputation as the laziest " Eternity " Emanator she had ever met; he still hadn't taken any action.
A guess immediately formed in her mind: Could it be that Ye Yan intended to stand by and watch, like the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind, ultimately reaping the benefits?
"Be careful not to get yourself into trouble," Silver Wolf kindly warned.
Ye Yan:?
What is this girl mumbling about? Video games are really harmful...
"Now that the ' Genius Society ' is involved, shouldn't the next reinforcements the Astral Express bring be the Xianzhou?"
Silver Wolf guessed, Ye Yan chimed in, "It doesn't seem as good as the ' Church of Eternity '."
Amphoreus, Aedes Elysiae
Phainon led Xing to Cyrene, who was swinging on a swing. Xi Lian put one hand on her hip and said, "Ha, I knew it was here."
"She is..."
For some reason, Xing Zong's hallucinations about Cyrene's secrets suggest that these two pink-haired girls must have some connection.
Cyrene slowly opened her eyes and smiled faintly at Xing and Phainon.
"Oh dear? You came in such a hurry, you scared the little swing, it's swaying back and forth..."
"... Um?"
Cyrene and Xing locked eyes. Even at this moment, Xing remained abstract, and each made one of two different reactions:
"It's you...?" & "You seem so familiar♪"
"It's you!" & "It really is you♪"
Correspondingly, Cyrene responded to each of her sentences.
"What's wrong... what are you looking at?" Phainon didn't understand what the two of them were doing.
Cyrene put her hands behind her back. "Hmm~ It's nothing, it's just... I suddenly had a strange telepathic connection?"
"Oh dear, why do you still have fallen leaves on your head? Were you sleeping in a tree again, or in a wheat field? Clean yourself up before you go out."
"I've grown up all of a child, but you still treat me like a little kid..."
Cyrene smiled. "Really? Although you're taller than me, I'm far more mature than you."
"Liking to fantasize about heroic stories and imagine yourself as one of the characters is not something an adult would do."
Cyrene looked at Xing, "You agree, right? Since you're playing along with his nonsense again, what kind of persona are you playing today?"
"Hello, I'm Star... Nuclear Hunter, also known as ' Galactic Invincible Baseball Bat Hero '." Star gave a serious self-introduction.
"What, a whole mixed bag? Ahem... okay. Her persona today is... ' Stellaron Hunters ' and ' Galactic Invincible Baseball Bat Hero '."
"And 'Heart and Hunter'? Whose heart are you planning to capture, hmm?"
"Why the change of identity again? Not long ago, you were the hero who drifted from a foreign land and made a sword-training contract with you..."
"... Spare me!" Phainon clasped his hands together. "Let's not talk about the past."
"Oh right, didn't we say we wanted to read Oracle Card? It's been so long since I played any divination games, why did you suddenly think of it today?"
"I was just about to tell you: Not long ago, I was sleeping soundly on the swing and had a strange dream..."
In that dream, there was always a vague voice, as if calling out to something.
Phainon was slightly surprised, "... You had a dream like that too?"
"Hmm... you too? No wonder I felt uneasy after waking up."
"Then I remembered the ' Oracle Card ' I used to play with as a child—although the Prophecy of Oronyx was never really accurate."
"If the kids draw a good card like ' Sovereign ' or 'Warrior,' they cheer with joy; if they draw 'Demon' or 'Drunkard,' they shout that this doesn't count, they want to play again..."
Phainon spread his hands, "You can back out if you want... but can you really divine anything real?"
"Children are always lucky, thinking that the gods don't notice the little corners of the Aedes Elysiae, and will turn a blind eye to us..."
But fate is always certain. After all, we don't know how far into the future the Prophecy foretells.
Anyway, let's go find the Oracle Card from our old "secret base" first.
"Uh... where did I put it back then?" Phainon pondered.
"I can still remember a few places... Come on, let's go take a look?"
