I have lived for so long after I reincarnated in this world.
Born Human, but lived a divine life of unending seasons.
I have tried everything the world has offered me.
A Hero? Heh, I was once known as the Great Hero who slaughtered the three generations of Demon Lords.
A Merchant? My merchandise once stood atop the kingdom of commerce of the world, dominating.
A Magician? Piece of cake for me. My magic had almost reached the realm of divinity. Every young mage knew me as the Sage of Mana.
Now 1000 years have passed since my reincarnation.
I have nothing to do anymore.
Should I chill my life off in somewhere civilization couldn't reach? Or try doing some evil things for a change of mood?
But she would never allow me to harm people.
Guess it's time to relax and take it easy.
One day, a Demon Lord once again rose amongst the Demons. They sure bloom quickly, huh?
I could sense fear and tension filled the atmosphere of the world.
Should I kill that little Demon? Hmm, a Hero is seems to be raising... Guess they'll be okay? Oh no, no, he's not my descendant, don't be mistaken, people. Eh? So you guys really thought he was my descendant? What!? Even my reincarnation? No way, I am still alive!
Eh, he's weak.
Would the people of this world be okay?
Ah, they started the war.
As expected, it was on the Great Desert of Malaba where the first big battle unfolded.
The old Dragon is sleeping there, you know? You guys sure want to wake him up with the blood and souls spilled by you guys?
Hee... Though the Hero is still immature, he seems to have received some kind of Holy Sword from the Gods.
They sure did me dirty, huh? They ignored my suffering years ago when I was chosen as the Hero, but they gave the kid a Holy Sword capable of even damaging a Pure-blooded Demon with his immature Spirit Core.
Oh, they defeated the Hero. So unfortunate.
Ah... He's dying. Work hard, Saintess girl, you can do it. Don't cry, channel your mana!
Ohh, what a brave young man, to face a Pure-blooded Demon single-handedly like that. He's not even the Hero, and he was that strong? The Gods sure have chosen the wrong kid.
But he was burning his life in the fight.
Wow, he chased away the Demon. That's awesome, brave kid! I am impressed! Splendid, splendid indeed!
Oh, what? So now you're also dying?
Shit, don't just say you love her in that kind of situation! You are setting your bad flag too high, kid!
Ahh~ ah, look, now the Saintess girl started hesitating whether to heal you or the Hero boy. Ah, she lost her focus. You're dead, Brave kid.
And where are the Holy Knights? They're sure weaker than those who lived in my era. Back then, one of them could even take down a Wyvern with minimal wounds, but now they couldn't even fight a Corps of Brutal Orc without losing their comrades.
You guys sure had grown complacent.
But it would be too unfortunate for you to die there, Brave kid. I'll lend you a hand.
Hmm... After they leave you, maybe I'll teleport you into my residence. Giving him one or two Soul essences should be sufficient to restore his damaged soul.
And... Done! Now you're as new as ever.
But I don't want him to see me, and sending him just like that would be too boring. Besides, the supporter of the Hero also seems to be displeased after they heard this kid's achievement.
Maybe sending him to that place would be a great idea? Those Dragon fanatics would gladly accept and polish him after they knew how strong his determination and might are.
Hm? What? Hoo~, the Demons are being pushed. But that's bad, guys. You shouldn't force him to move.
Ahh~... He showed up.
Hmm, the Demon Lord of this era seemed to be also weaker, though also not that weak. I've met the one weaker than him. Oh, that Gravity magic was impressive. The Humans would suffer a lot fighting him.
You should hurry up and get stronger quickly, brave kid, or else your crush will die on the battlefield soon.
Hmm... But they should really change their frontline elsewhere real quick. If they actually awakened that old Dragon, both parties would suffer great casualties.
And where are the Dwarves and the Elves? The Beastkins have stepped in to support the Human, but they are still watching the show without moving their fingers.
Well, the Dwarves are indeed supporting by supplying the armies with their weapons, but where are your Giant golems? Why not release them? Even if those metals couldn't defeat those Pure-blooded Demons, at least pressuring them would be manageable with them, right?
Hmm... So it seems the Elves were refraining from supporting the Humans because a stupid king once made capturing Elves as slaves legal, huh? What an idiot you grew, guys. They're doomed if this continues, ah~ ah~, so unfortunate, so unfortunate~.
Where are you and what are you doing, Brave kid? Your crush is bleeding on the frontline now, you know~?
Oh? So you have not arrived yet. Haha, I forgot that it would take about a year to return to the center continent from the secret Continent of Drago. Well, you'd better hurry up.
Also, why are you now traveling with two girls? Who is them? Your lovers?
The Saintess girl who always felt guilty about leaving you is too pitiful if you forget her...
But as expected, you aren't bad, brave kid. In less than 8 months, you have reached the Center Continent right after you finished the training that the Fanatics set for you.
There's still hope, huh?
Hm? Someone... No, a group of people is entering my forest?
I wonder what they were looking for in this forest filled with Mystical Beasts.
