Book 1 Chapter 1

The world was burning.

A gigantic black dragon was breathing heavily in front of the man with gray hair.

-Kyle.

"Don't speak. I will definitely save you!"

Kyle gritted his teeth and used healing magic.

A massive amount of magic power surged.

However, the huge wound pierced through the dragon's belly did not heal.

"Damn it! Damn it! I can't lose you too!"

-No… I'm wrong. Kyle. So take my Dragon Heart and move forward.

"Hey, stop that crazy talk and shut up!"

Kyle said roughly.

"Arion and Luna! Don't die meaninglessly like Dweyno! You're a dragon! Endure like a great race! You damned lizard!"

-Kyle… do you remember when we first met?

He swallowed his breath.

Lysinas, smiling the same smile as back then, said.

-We will save the world.

"So we…"

-Sorry… for leaving it all on you.

Swoosh- His eyelids closed.

"…"

Looking at the black dragon, whose breath had stopped, Kyle looked up at the ashen sky.

Black rain fell.

The rain of death that gnawed away at life.

Proof that the world was rushing towards destruction.

"Hahahaha… goddammit."

Kyle cursed, not even thinking of avoiding the rain.

Kyle, who had dug through his comrade's heart and pulled out its heart, turned his head.

In the distance, a burning tower was visible.

"Erebos."

He spat out the enemy's name as if chewing it.

"I will definitely kill you. Even if I am the only one left."

The last great hero headed to the place of final battle.

And… the world was saved by one human.

"Leo~ Mom will read you a fairy tale."

The mistress of the Flobe family.

Reina Flobe approached her one-month-old son and said.

Watching her, Dayde Flobe burst into laughter.

"Reina. You've read that fairy tale more than a hundred times already, haven't you? If you include prenatal education, it must be over a thousand times."

"But Dayde. This fairy tale is my favorite story of the great heroes, you know?"

Reina gazed lovingly at her son sleeping soundly in the cradle.

"And Leo likes this fairy tale the most. He gets happy every time I read it to him!"

"Really?"

"Yes. Want to see?"

Reina approached the cradle and opened the fairy tale book.

"Leo~ Mom will read you the [Heroes of the Beginning] fairy tale.

Leo's eyes opened wide.

"Once upon a time, long, long ago. Specifically, 5000 years ago…"

"Aboo! Abbb! Addd!"

"See!"

"Haha, it's true!"

Dayde Flobe showed a surprised expression, watching his son shake his head and babble.

Reina smiled brightly and continued reading the fairy tale.

Luna, the Elf Archmage.

Dweyno, the Dwarf Master Smith.

Arion, the Beastman Warrior.

And finally, Lysinas, the wise Dragon.

"And so, the great heroes defeated the evil Erebos, and peace came to the world. The End!"

"Aboo! Aggg!"

Leo wildly swung his short arms and legs.

The couple looked at their son with proud smiles.

Looking at his parents, Leo shouted inwardly.

'Please, just stop reading that damn fairy tale!'

It would have been a surprise if the Flobe couple had known.

That their newborn child had such clear intentions!

But even more surprising was his true identity.

A long time ago, specifically 5000 years ago.

He was one of the great heroes who saved the world.

Kyle.

The man who defeated Erebos, the primordial evil, and saved the world.

But he was an unfortunate man forgotten in the world's history.
