My name is Lion Fallom, King of Legendra, a small but proud kingdom. We once dreamed of becoming greater — more influential among the surrounding realms. Our path began with kindness: welcoming travelers, giving them food and shelter in exchange for their work within our city. I wanted them to learn our culture, to see that we were not a corrupt or dangerous kingdom ruled by greedy guards and ministers.
I wanted outsiders to know they could come to us for help, that if they were lost or in danger, they could find refuge in Legendra — a place of freedom unlike any other.
But that dream came with consequences. I paid the price for trying to help everyone.
I died.
Now I wander in darkness. I've been moving endlessly — for days, months, years? I can't remember. I'm alone.
How am I supposed to live like this? Just let me rest, please… God, I've already lost everything — my kingdom, my people, my family. Everything that ever mattered.

Hey, what are you doing? Why are you not extinct? I thought you humans had all perished. Your world was destroyed — how do you still exist?
Lion
Huh? Someone's there? Extinct?
???
Hahaha… Yes. You humans were destroyed when your world's mana was absorbed by the Divine Tree — Yggdrasil. But somehow, you're here. You survived. And your mind remains intact. Only those with the potential to become supreme beings can exist in this place at all. Many who weren't strong enough lost themselves and became demons… But that was long ago. Supreme beings aren't important anymore. They all died — just like your kind.
Lion
I can't really remember how I got here… and honestly, I don't think I want to. I just want to leave. I've been alone for so long. I want to talk to someone again. You're probably one of those beings, right? If you're powerful, can you send me somewhere — anywhere — where others like me exist?
???
I can… but why should I?
Lion
Because you spoke to me. And I feel like you're kind, in your own way. It's been so many years… you could erase me if you wanted to. I wouldn't care. Being alone for so long has taken something important from me. So either choice — life or oblivion — is fine.
???
Very well. I'll send you to Eldrogan — a world of half-humans, elves, and demi-beings. A world still connected to…
