Book 1 Chapter 1032
1032.
Leo, whose identity was discovered by Lumern, fell into contemplation.
‘Will it not affect the future?’
In any case, that he was an All-Class would have been revealed to Lumern by Lodia.
The problem was that being an All-Class and being discovered as Kyle were separate matters.
“Lumern.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t tell the other Heroes of Genesis about me.”
“Understood.”
At Leo’s words, Lumern felt puzzled but did not ask about it.
Although excited by Kyle’s reincarnation, Lumern was trying his best to calmly assess the situation.
‘If he reincarnated, why didn’t he help in the war against Tartarus? Or did he recently realize his past life’s memories?’
Questions swirled in his mind.
‘And why did he kidnap Seyrun?’
While thinking many thoughts, he even considered that Leo might not be the Hero of Genesis, but soon shook his head.
Although his appearance was different, the person in front of him was clearly Kyle, the Hero of Genesis.
Even if his appearance was different, his speech, actions, and even his aura were identical.
There was a reason.
Lumern, having made that judgment, decided to set his questions aside for a moment.
Meanwhile.
Leo glanced at Lumern.
‘He’s definitely different from back then. Well. He couldn’t be the same.’
As long as he was enrolled in Lumern Academy, he had no choice but to study about Lumern, whether he liked it or not.
Although he couldn't know the specifics as no records of the Hero Record remained.
This was because, unlike the Great Heroes, his story was not intensively concealed by Tartarus, so a relatively complete story was passed down to later generations.
And the truth of history.
That is to say, until the Heroes of Genesis sealed Erebus, Lumern's life was a history of victories.
Of course, even if it was a history of victories, it didn't mean Lumern's life was smooth.
Lumern also experienced countless frustrations and crises.
There were many times he almost lost his life.
But Lumern ultimately achieved victory in every moment.
He achieved everything he desired.
The feats Lumern accomplished were so great that even Leo was astounded.
He was perfectly suited as the successor to the Hero of Genesis.
‘This guy's life must have started to fall apart when Erebus kept resurrecting.’
Leo recalled Lumern, whom he had met briefly before.
The Lumern back then was distinctly different from now.
The Lumern from 3000 years ago was definitely more confident than the Lumern of the future.
Perhaps because he was a perfect hero, like something out of a fairy tale, his frustration might have been even greater.
Feeling a bitter taste in his mouth, Leo took Lumern and arrived where Luna and Lena were.
‘If a problem arises in the future, a problem will immediately arise for me as well.’
But so far, there has been no significant impact.
‘Chloe’s magical inhibitory power seems stronger than I thought.’
Magic that erases memories and forcibly modifies clues about future existences.
Thinking of Chloe, who had grown into a mage beyond imagination in the future, Leo burst into laughter.
“Huh? Why did you come with that human?”
Luna, who was poking the unconscious Seyrun with a twig, asked with a puzzled expression.
Lena also looked between Leo and Lumern with a slightly surprised face.
“My goodness… Lady Luna?”
Lumern looked at Luna with a surprised expression.
“This is Lena. My sister…? You can think of her like that. She knows about my identity.”
Since he couldn't say she was his granddaughter, Leo vaguely glossed over it.
“What do you mean, like a sister?”
Lena grumbled but didn't argue further.
“And this one, as you know, is Luna. As you can see, she's in her childhood form.”
“Hello.”
[Is this Kyle's junior? Unlike Kyle, he looks like a normal person.]
The young Luna raised her hand to greet him, and Luna in her spirit form observed Lumern with admiration.
Lumern, looking at the young Luna, suddenly said with a serious face.
“I personally don’t think Sir Kyle and Lady Luna are a good match.”
*Thwack!*
The young Luna immediately twisted Lumern’s jaw.
Of course, Leo knew well that it was the work of Luna in her spirit form, not the young Luna.
“Why are you suddenly picking a fight with Luna?”
Leo made a bewildered expression.
Stroking his chin, Lumern asked.
“Does Sir Kyle know Lady Luna’s feelings?”
“Yes, he does.”
“I see. Anyway, I just stated the facts.”
“You’d better run away.”
“Yeah. I agree with that. My other self said she won’t leave you alone.”
The young Luna advised Lumern with a serious face.
[You damn brat! Hey! Kyle! How did you train your junior?!]
Luna in her spirit form screamed at the top of her lungs.
At that shout, the young Luna covered her ears, wearing a fed-up expression.
Even in spirit form, the presence of such overwhelming spiritual energy was terrifying.
[Are you Lysinas’s minion? What are you?!]
The young Luna thought she needed to calm her adult self down.
“Are you on Lysinas’s side?”
At those words, Lumern shook his head.
“No. I also don’t think Sir Kyle is a good match for Lady Lysinas.”
[Isn’t this guy completely insane? Then who *is* a good match for that brat?!]
Luna shouted with a flabbergasted expression.
“Then who *is* he a good match for?”
The young Luna dutifully asked the question on behalf of her other self.
Lumern looked at Luna and said seriously.
“I believe the one who suits Sir Kyle best is Lady Midia.”
[And who is that?]
“Who is that?”
Before Lumern could answer the young Luna’s question, Leo asked first.
“How do you know Midia?”
Lumern answered the question apologetically.
“I saw it recorded in Sir Kyle’s Hero Record.”
“Hmm?”
Leo had never seen his complete Hero Record.
That's why he didn't know what was recorded in the prologue.
‘It seems it’s been recorded since then.’
Not every moment of a hero’s life is recorded in the Hero Record.
It is recorded from the time they accomplished heroic deeds.
[S-O-O-O! Who is Midia?!]
“Leo. Who is Midia? My head hurts so much.”
The young Luna tugged at Leo’s sleeve, asking him impatiently.
Patting the young Luna’s head, Leo said.
“Curious?”
“Yes. I’m so curious I feel like I’m going crazy.”
“My magic and spirit arts master. And…”
“And?”
“My first love?”
“…”
The young Luna thought to herself.
‘I shouldn’t have listened.’
As expected.
[What? First love? Firssst loveee?]
An excited Luna involuntarily took control of her body.
[What kind of woman is she! How far did you two go?!]
She relayed her own words, eyes rolling back, shouting wildly.
“What kind of woman is she and how far did you two go— Calm down! My head feels like it’s going to burst!”
The young Luna’s eyes, making a tearful face, spun around.
Leo looked at the young Luna and said.
“She’s a dragon, and nothing much really happened beyond that.”
[You dragon pervert, youuuuu!]
“Dragon pervert? What does that even… Ouch! Why are you doing this to me?! I didn't say that!”
The young Luna, who had relayed Luna’s words unfiltered, had both her cheeks pinched by Leo.
Seeing the two of them, Lumern was moved.
“Seeing that, they truly are Sir Kyle and Lady Luna! To be able to witness their quarrels like this!”
Lena stood a step back and watched the Great Hero and the Heroes of Genesis.
‘Is seeing such an unsightly display really that joyful?’
Lena pondered seriously.
The three people in front of her were the greatest heroes Lena knew.
‘Are they this eccentric?’
Lena was the granddaughter of the heroes who saved the world.
That’s why she knew.
That even the great heroes who accomplished mythical feats were not so different from themselves.
That they were ordinary people who laughed, cried, and got angry according to their emotions.
Therefore, she thought she didn’t have any illusions about the great heroes.
Lena was the one who called Elena a hag and Illiana an old witch.
But watching the Great Hero and the Heroes of Genesis, she couldn't help but think this.
‘Are *these*… the heroes who saved the world?’
After the situation had somewhat calmed down.
Leo spoke to Lumern.
“We came from a parallel world.”
“A parallel world, you say?”
“Yes. In that timeline, I reincarnated. But a fragment of our Erebus escaped to this side. We came to catch it.”
“Is such a thing possible?”
“Do I look like someone who has impossibilities?”
Luna and Lena looked at Leo with bewildered expressions.
Before being a magic swordsman, Lumern was a great mage.
Even a plausible explanation would barely convince him, let alone such an insincere one?
Indeed, saying they came from the same timeline in a different world would have less impact on the future than saying they came from the future.
For those living in the present, the future is uncertain.
But if they were to meet a being from the future, the future would definitively change.
In the end, they would inevitably think about the fixed future and be influenced by it.
[No! If you're going to sell snake oil, at least sell it properly! What did you learn from Lysinas?!]
It was when Luna made a frustrated expression.
“As expected of Sir Kyle! There is nothing impossible for Sir Kyle!”
[Are you serious? Aren't you a mage by profession? You're just going to gloss over it without even hearing an explanation?!]
As a mage, Lumern’s current reaction was absolutely unacceptable.
But Lumern decided to stop overthinking it.
From the beginning, for Lumern, Kyle was a being for whom nothing was impossible.
‘If it’s Sir Kyle, he would certainly be able to cross parallel worlds.’
What was important now was not how Leo crossed parallel worlds.
It was that the reincarnated Kyle was right before his eyes.
Seeing Lumern, who had given up thinking, Leo thought.
‘This guy. He’s really on the same level as Lian.’
Remembering the administrator of the Hero Record, Leo clicked his tongue.
***
*Scratch- scratch-*
In the midst of endlessly sprawling bookshelves, a beautiful person with gray hair was frantically writing something down.
“Ah! I was free for 2000 years! But that damn monstrosity made me busy!”
Lian, the administrator of the Hero Record, cursed the fragment of Erebus.
Suddenly, heroes whose names would be added to the Hero Record were pouring out.
Thanks to that, Lian, who had been idle for 2000 years, was now spending busy days.
“Haa. By the way, in the end, the power of purity cannot be inherited even through the Hero Record?”
As far as Lian knew, the only heroes greater than the Heroes of Genesis were the Great Heroes.
This was throughout the entire Age of Gods that he remembered.
Despite being Heroes of Genesis, they couldn't do anything about the fragment of Erebus without the power of purity.
‘If only the residents of the Lower World had known about the world of heroes a little earlier.’
Lian clicked his tongue.
The reason the gods gifted the Hero Record to the Lower World was because they hoped the residents of the Lower World would gain the power to fight against Erebus.
After the Age of Calamity, the gods could no longer exert influence over the Lower World.
Consequently, no one knew the true abilities of the Hero Record for a long time.
There’s no time.
“For now, I can only trust the Heroes of Genesis… Huh?”
Lian, who had been smacking his lips, stopped writing.
Lian’s face stiffened.
“This is…?”
He slowly raised his head.
‘Did I misfeel it?’
No, that couldn’t be.
Even if he had lost his divine status and couldn't interfere with the Lower World, within this domain, Lian was still like a god.
Nevertheless, Lian wanted to deny this situation.
*Thump-*
This time, the impact was even greater.
The entire domain trembled slightly.
Lian was horrified.
“Another one resurrected?! No! More importantly, how did it know about this place?!”
A fragment of Erebus was targeting the Akashic Records.
