“Book of Shadows… … ?”
Shau looked at the hero record in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
It was not just a page or piece, but a complete hero record, one of only five known to exist in the world.
3000 years ago.
After the Second Coming of Disaster, Hero Records was divided into five.
Since then, every race has filled the pages of the Hero Record with records of their own race.
However, the sixth hero record appeared.
And that too under the name of Shadow Hero Records.
Is it fake for a moment? I thought about it.
However, as the Emperor of Shan, I have seen Hero Records several times.
There was no denying that the hero record in front of me was genuine.
I turned the pages with trembling hands.
And when I saw the name written on the very first page, I couldn’t help but hold my breath.
[Hero of the Beginning, Kyle]
The first page of Hero Records, which says Book of Shadows.
There was the name of Kyle, the hero of the beginning.
I touched Kyle’s name with my finger.
Then, a ripple occurred on the Hero Records page, and Kyle’s record surfaced.
‘This… … .’
Shau’s eyes wavered.
‘The identity of the invitation shadow… … ‘He was the hero of the beginning?’
5000 years ago.
After Hero Records appeared on earth.
The first record of shadows that Bihar took out of Hero Records and entrusted to his descendants.
The owner of the record whose name was unknown was none other than Kyle, the hero of the beginning.
“The great hero… … “It was a shadow?”
Leo said while looking at Shau, who had an expression of disbelief.
“There was no such distinction between heroes and shadows in that era.”
Shau looked at Leo.
“I think the hero who started it did it because someone had to do it.”
“… … .”
Shau closed Kyle’s record and turned the pages.
And when I saw the name Bihar there, my hands tightened.
When I saw the name Book of Shadows, I couldn’t believe it.
‘This… … ‘Hero record of shadows.’
Not just Bihar.
Living in the dark.
There is a record of the shadows who did not hesitate to sacrifice for the world.
All of the shadows’ movements that Shan had recorded for a long time were recorded in Hero Records.
“Why suddenly… … .”
“It’s a small whim of the gods. “If not.”
Leo looked at Shau and smiled.
“It could mean that you stop being pessimistic about yourself.”
“… … .”
“Because there is no way the gods would recognize someone who doesn’t even believe in themselves.”
“Hehe… … Hehehe.”
Shau cupped his face.
“Whahahahaha!”
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
The scathing remarks of the hero candidate who thought that they did not understand their own darkness were very poignant.
Shadows enter the darkness for their own reasons.
There are those who have been shadows since birth, like the shadows of Shan.
Or, there are people who choose to become shadows for their own reasons.
They all dip their feet into the pool of blood out of faith.
No one regrets that.
but… … .
‘In the end, I lament the fact that I am not recognized by the gods.’
Some people blame God.
There are many cases where someone closes their eyes, feeling pessimistic about becoming a shadow.
Even those who do not feel pessimistic about themselves, saying that shadows are separated from the glory of the gods.
The same was true for Shau.
‘I guess so. There is no way God would approve of such people.’
Shan, who has a history spanning thousands of years, has been unable to give up his obsession with hero records, but the idea that he cannot become a hero has been deeply entrenched.
I couldn’t give up my obsession to get my name on Hero Records in a shadow way.
‘It’s a contradiction.’
Even though I knew it, I denied it.
I was finally able to admit that after watching Hero Records.

“It was stupid.”
Shau clenched his fists.
And then I saw Leo.
“Leo. You… … “What is it?”
We have already received a report on Leo.
‘They said it moved like a shadow in the dark. Moreover, the seal of the ancestor was released.’
He unlocked the Auror seal that only the legitimate heir of Bihar could unlock.
‘The identity of the first shadow was Kyle, the hero of the beginning. And Leo Plov is the second All Class after Kyle.’
Shau’s eyes narrowed.
‘Moreover, the hero record, which had been erased when Leo Plov touched it, regained its name. And when he touched… … The Shadows were finally listed on Hero Records. ‘Is this really a coincidence?’
After the Age of Heroes began.
It is no exaggeration to say that this boy is unprecedented.
Shau, who was looking into Leo’s red eyes, saw the corners of Leo’s mouth turn up.
Shau felt that smile was playful.
But it wasn’t the playful smile that boys Leo’s age made.
It was a smile that had an adult-like slyness, but was also somehow intimidating.
“… … !”
Shau opened his eyes wide.
But soon I closed my eyes.
Then I took a deep breath and stood up.
He bowed his head as if he would obey his wishes.
“You… … Shan’s… … No, the benefactor of all shadows.”
Shau said in a trembling voice.
“If you need Shan’s power, talk to me anytime. “We will risk everything to help you.”
“Thank you for your favor.”
Leo bowed his head and left the throne room.
dump-
Shau sat down and looked down at his sweaty hands.
I discovered a great secret.
‘… … God. God of shadows.’
Shau burst out laughing.
I realized why the times began to move.
‘The world will face a cataclysm.’
Subjugation of the Monster Queen.
And the birth of Shadow Hero Records.
‘And the resurrection of the great hero.’
It was clear that if this fact became known to the public, it would cause chaos.
‘It would be best to keep the Book of Shadows a secret for the time being.’
Even if there was a hero record, it was extremely difficult to realize the world of heroes through the Book of Shadows.
Many shadows disappear from the world, leaving no keepsakes, let alone descendants.
As such, there were few keys to opening the world of heroes who would inherit power.
‘But gradually the number of worlds to be inherited will increase.’
Shau’s eyes lit up.
‘Until Leo Plov starts moving in earnest. Shan remains his shadow.’
Thinking like that, Shau raised his head.
Step by step-
Xiayu smiled bitterly as he looked at Chen Xia who appeared under the moonlight.
“I did something terrible to you.”
“Is this the path I chose?”
Shau put down the Book of Shadows as he saw his daughter smiling softly.
“It’s not something this foolish father would say, but… … “Chase your dreams now.”
“I think so.”
“But remember this.”
Shau looked directly into his daughter’s eyes.
“One day Shan will be yours. “Just don’t forget that fact.”
“yes.”
Chen Xia smiled and disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at the back, Shau looked at the moonlight.
“Is dawn coming to the shadows too?”

“iced coffee! I can’t believe I couldn’t watch Senior Leo’s activities with my own eyes! “I can’t be this sad!”
“Stop overdoing it, right?”
In Leo’s room, Fritz was hitting his head on the floor, and Jane looked at him with a pitiful look.
It is said that Tartarus disappeared after Sian’s death at the hands of Leo.
‘Now that Xian is dead, it would mean that there would be more harm than good if there were more of them.’
Leo opened the subspace and took out bandages and potions to treat the wound on the desk.
Fritz, seeing this, jumped up from his seat.
“Senior Leo, I have the honor of treating your wounds… … !”
It was when Fritz adjusted his glasses and his eyes sparkled.
smart-
The door opened with a small knock and Chen Xia came in.
“Princess!”
Jane approached Chen Xia with a bright expression.
“I’m glad you’re safe!”
“I’m glad you’re safe too. Jane.”
Chen Xia patted Jane’s head as she cried and looked at Fritz.
“You’re safe too.”
“Thanks to you, senior.”
Fritz lowered his head.
Chen Xia smiled at the two people and looked at Leo.
“Your facial expression is much more noticeable.”
“It’s thanks to Master Leo.”
Chen Xia, smiling brightly, said to Fritz and Jane.
“You two, I would like to talk alone with Master Leo for a moment… … Would it be okay?”
“Yes, princess!”
“I have a duty to help senior Leo heal his wounds… … .”
“How arrogant are you going to throw up? Follow me!”
Jane grabbed Fritz by the collar and dragged him away.
Fritz tried to shake off Jane’s grip, but as a magician, he couldn’t shake off her power as a knight.
“What an ignorant force.”
“Did you say everything!”
“You haven’t done everything yet?”
Jane opens her eyes and says, wow! Wow! I shouted and Fritz laughed coldly.
widely-
When the door closed and they were alone, Chen Xia blinked her big eyes and said,
“Would you like me to help you treat your wounds?”
“Do you want to?”
Leo took off his top.
Chen Xia received healing from a healer immediately after the incident was resolved, but Leo was unable to do so because he had to meet with Shau.
The Grand Duke of Jangsong, the Undead of Shadow, and even Xian.
Leo’s body was in shambles from the series of battles.
There were blood crusts all over the body.
Chen Xia, who saw this, used the water aura to carefully wash Leo’s body.
When Leo sat down on the chair, he opened the potion bottle and wet a towel.
“I wish I had a healing auror like Miss Nella.”
“You weren’t the type of person to regret the abilities you didn’t have.”
“Suddenly a thought occurred to me. “The water aura is a good attribute for awakening healing abilities.”
Chen Xia smiled bitterly as she carefully cleaned the wound on Leo’s back.
“I think Master Leo will get hurt a lot in the future.”
“You will wear it a lot. There will be a lot of fights with you. It would be nice to have it, but you don’t have to worry too much about it. You are you.”
‘I always want to stand right behind Colonel Leo.’
After hearing Leo’s words, Chen Xia smiled bitterly inwardly.
“Thank you so much for stopping Xian, Master Leo.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
If left alone, Xian would have grown into a villain who would threaten many heroes.
And no matter how evil the opponent was, it was bittersweet to see blood relatives punishing blood relatives.
“There is no need to be thankful.”
“no. “There are many other things to be thankful for.”
Chen Xia’s voice trembled slightly.
“thank you. “For affirming my dream that even I denied.”
Chen Xia’s hand stopped.
“thank you. “For showing me the light to move forward.”
I didn’t know it would be a big deal to Leo.
But Leo brought Chen Xia out of the darkness.
“Master Leo is my benefactor.”
“I will refrain from using such grandiose words. “I feel burdened for no reason.”
Leo answered indifferently.
At those words, Chen Xia burst into laughter without realizing it.
I knew him for a year, but he was truly an indifferent person.
Chen Xia’s hand moved again.
After carefully cleaning Leo’s wound with a towel soaked in potion, he applied the potion to the bandage and wrapped it around Leo’s body.
‘There wasn’t much difference when I first saw it.’
The first time I spoke to Leo was around this time last year.
A year ago, Leo also looked like a young boy.
But when I looked at it again, I realized that I had grown a lot in just one year.
‘Why did Master Leo come to save me?’
My curiosity arose again.
Because we’re friends?
‘That’s probably the biggest reason.’
Even as I thought that, my heart pounded a little.
‘Or do you think of me as something special, more than just a friend?’
I have been very close to Leo for the past year.
“Why did Master Leo come to get me?”
I asked with a little anticipation.
At those words, Leo turned around.
Chen Xia, who made eye contact with Leo, smiled.
“You’re cocky.”
“yes?”
Chen Xia was taken aback by the completely unexpected answer.
“You’re still so small, how much of this world have you lived in that you still arrogantly say that I can’t be a hero?”
Chen Xia made a shocked expression.
“I’m older than Master Leo?”
“What do you do when you’re older? “What a child is doing.”
Leo smiled and stood up.
“Is that why you came to get me?”
Leo nodded, looking at Chen Xia, who had a shocked expression on her face.
Chen Xia sighed as she looked at Leo, who was smirking.
“The reason is more absurd than I thought, so I’m losing strength.”
Chen Xia, with a sullen expression, stood up.
Leo looked back at Chen Xia and tapped Chen Xia on the forehead with the tip of his finger.
“A child can dream like a child.”
Chen Xia, holding her forehead, took a step back as the shock was stronger than expected.
At that time, dawn passed and dawn began to rise.
Leo, with his back to the bright dawn light, was smiling like an adult.
Chen Xia blushed profusely at the sight of Leo treating her like a child even though she was younger.
“Master Leo, do you know how much of an old man you are now?!”
“Yeah, you’ll look like an old guy.”
“no… … I don’t mean that… … .”
‘Should I say it has a grown-up scent or a dandy scent? I have a lot of those feelings… … .’
Chen Xia laughed helplessly, thinking that Leo, who had his back to Dawn without knowing why, was incredibly provocative.
‘Did I have a taste for older people?’
