544.
From my most distant memory, the sky has been gray.
And what was even darker and gloomier than that was the surrounding environment.
Death has always been around Bihar.
Day by day, I desperately tried to survive.
However, as I continued my life, I could not shake the feeling that I was falling deeper and deeper into the mire.
One day when I was living in such a deep and dark world.
A man with hair and eyes the same color as the sky and a beautiful woman with deep, dark hair and eyes appeared before Bihar.
The man, Kyle, said as he sat down in his seat and looked down at Vihar who was looking up at him.
“You’re similar to me, surviving somehow.”
Rishinas sighed a little at those words and knelt down in front of Vihar.
“What do you want to do in the future?”
“I hope there are no more people like me.”
Bihar didn’t know about the outside world, but he knew that what he had been doing was wrong.
We must trample on those who work together to survive.
In order to survive, you must kill the person you laughed with with your own hands.
The only way to show warmth and kindness to others is to kill yourself.
‘That was definitely wrong.’
“We cannot tolerate people doing this.”
Bihar calmly conveyed his intentions.
Rishinath’s eyes wavered as he looked at Bihar like that.
The girl who grew up in a terrible environment expressed her hatred for the things that made her like this.
But more than that, he wanted to make sure that there would never be a victim like him again.
Seeing a girl who cared for others at an immature age, Risinas instinctively realized this.
‘This child will live in the dark.’
It was like a black dragon.
The black dragon has lived with the mission of protecting the world from darkness for generations.
If the world wasn’t like this, Risinas would have lived that kind of life too.
‘Because it is the mission of the Black Dragon that has been passed down from generation to generation. But to do that now.’
Sigh-
Lisinas turned his head when he saw the hand held out next to his face.
There Kyle was reaching out to Bihar.
Bihar took that hand.
Kyle, who helped Vihar up, walked alone without saying anything.
As Vihar tried to follow him, Risinath spoke.
“Kid.”
“yes.”
“Don’t live your whole life in the dark.”
Risinath, who spoke in a worried voice, carefully pushed young Vihar’s back.
Vihar looked blankly at Rishinas walking with him.
It was the first light Bihar had seen.
“Who is this?”
“My disciple.”
“Master, I am your disciple.”
Berkia, an elf girl who was somehow united in a spirit of rebellion against Kyle, stood in front of Vihar after the introduction and spoke solemnly.
“I am your senior. Take care of yourselves from now on.”
“huh.”
“Then, senior Lee is thirsty, so get some water first.”
I gave an order as if it was obvious, but then Kyle hit me hard.
At that sight, I burst out laughing without realizing it.
Bihar didn’t hate Berkia.
It was fundamentally different from myself.
It was not simply because the races were different.
Everyone who was born in the era of disaster had darkness in their eyes.
Even the brave Aron.
But Berkia didn’t feel anything like that at all.
‘Just like Rishinas.’
It gives the viewer a sense of relief.
A person who is like a bright light.
This beautiful person is so bright that you won’t even be jealous.
That was my first impression of Berkia.
‘The path is different from mine. But someday… … I don’t know if the day will come when I will have to support this child just as Master supports Risinas.’
If there comes a time when they replace the great heroes.
I promise that I will definitely do that.
Vihar became Kyle’s disciple.
The days of training with Berkia continued.
After growing up to a certain degree, Vihar began to take Kyle on missions to punish traitors.
There were no complaints about it.

No, rather, it was something Bihar wanted more than anyone else.
It is something that is absolutely necessary, but not everyone can do.
‘Because this is messy work.’
Someone put down a teacup in front of Bihar, who was thinking about that and lowering his head.
Vihar woke up from his thoughts and raised his head and looked at the person sitting in front of him.
“What are you thinking like that?”
“it’s nothing.”
“Shall I guess?”
Lisinas said, raising the mug in his hand to his mouth.
“You think what you’re doing is dirty, don’t you?”
“… … .”
Vihar shrugged his shoulders as he saw Risinas peering into his heart.
The place where Vihar was staying was Rishnath’s house.
The day Bihar first came to Gadthrone, Risinath took over Bihar.
As the lord of God’s Lawn, I spent a busy day, so I didn’t have many encounters like this at home, but I often talked like this.
“What you do is never dirty.”
Lisinas said while drinking tea.
“Of course, since it is a matter of punishing traitors in the dark, we will use any means necessary.”
Even more than demons, traitors are vicious to the hunters who come to judge them.
Because it is the job to punish such people, hunters also become more cruel, using any means possible.
The traitor must be struck with absolute fear.
Lisinas also knows that fact better than anyone else.
If it weren’t for this era, I would have been the one doing this.
Bihar knew that too.
but… … .
‘It doesn’t suit me at all.’
In Bihar’s eyes, Risinath was a very dazzling person.
It was impossible to imagine Lishinas, like himself, punishing traitors in the dark and getting his hands dirty.
‘I think I know why Master took Lishinas’ place.’
Risinath said, looking at Bihar sipping tea and thinking about such things.
“But Bihar, what you do is definitely for the good of this world. “I hope you realize that yourself.”
“Do you think Lisinas is proud of what I’m doing?”
“then.”
Lisinas grinned.
Bihar was also a little surprised by that hesitation-free answer.
“I think that people who can dye themselves in darkness for the sake of the world are noble.”
Vihar spent as much time with Lisinas as he did with Kyle.
As if he was going to heal the darkness of Bihar.
Risinath took care of Bihar even though he was busy.
And time passes again.
The great heroes began preparing to leave on their final expedition.
“It will probably be difficult for me to come back. therefore”
One morning, Kyle stopped by Lisinas’ house and said,
And Bihar’s eyes widened at those words.
Lisinas wrinkled his face.
“What nonsense?”
“I think you have to have that level of determination.”
“We will all come back alive.”
Kyle did not respond to Lisinas’ words while snorting.
All I did was put the food I made in the kitchen on the table.
“Is Lisinas there to cook?”
“Sometimes.”
“It must have been difficult every time.”
Lisinas’ hands trembled as he watched Kyle laughing at him with all his sincerity.
Vihar smiled seeing that.
“I want you to make it for me. “It makes me think.”
“When you want to punish yourself, do you ask me to make it for you? “I don’t think you would commit such a serious mistake, do you?”
“die!”
Lisinas swung the knife in his hand.
Of course, Kyle avoided it without even batting an eye.
Meals are usually handled by Bihar.
But really, sometimes, when Bihar seemed difficult, Rishnath did his best to cook anyway.
I can’t say it was very delicious, but it definitely gave me strength.
Vihar, who was looking at Kyle and Risinas bickering, burst out laughing.
“What can I say, it’s like family because we’re doing this.”
Lisinas paused at those words and smiled softly.
It was the first time Bihar had said something like this.
In their final expedition, the two saved the world and failed to return.
***
After the world is saved.
Bihar has had hectic days.
The first thing he did was tear up Kyle’s records from his time as Shadow at Hero Records.
Bihar was proud of the teacher who had blood on his hands as he punished the traitor.
But at the same time, I knew.
‘The world will never accept that in a positive light.’
Kyle won’t care.
But Bihar didn’t like it.
That is why the record was torn up and stored separately.
After this, Bihar lived in darkness.
As Bihar thought, Berkia replaced Lisinas.
As Berkia led the world into bright light, long, dark shadows were cast.
And that shadow was the world in which Bihar lived.
I have never considered this to be embarrassing.
But Bihar never revealed himself.
And the more I did it, the more tired I became.
Then one day.
In the darkness, Bihar saw children in the same situation as he had been in the past.
And like Kyle and Lisinas did in the past, he reached out to those children.
It was the light Bihar found in the darkness.
Bihar had many children.
And those children brought a sense of normalcy to her life that she thought could never be normal.
I found someone I loved and had children.
Berkia’s story was told to her as she found rest after such a long time.
***
“mother!”
Her son looked ashen as he saw Bihar come back covered in blood.
Bihar said while looking at his son like that.
“Shan.”
“Mom, hurry up and get treatment… … .”
“Don’t blame me.”
“… … !”
Shan trembled as she saw Vihar speaking with a faint smile.
“I didn’t have much life left anyway because of the disease. So don’t blame her.”
“mother… … .”
“To me, they are like sisters with the same father.”
Shan knows.
That his mother worked behind the scenes to support Berkia throughout her life.
“Rishinas told me. Shadows are the most noble people. So it’s okay even if others don’t acknowledge it. If you too are going to walk this path. “I want you to know that it’s never unfortunate that someone doesn’t recognize you.”
Vihar laughed.
“You said no, but I hope you live like my teacher, who always devoted himself to the world.”
“yes… … mother.”
“Yes, my son. Please take care of his younger siblings.”
“yes… … .”
Vihar smiled brightly as he watched his son grit his teeth and accept his death resolutely.
It was a smile like Lisinas, who became a light to him.
It was a life without regrets.
If there’s one thing that bothers me, it’s not being able to stop Berkia.
***
-I never thought my will would haunt you for thousands of years.
After seeing the past, Chen Xia was silent.
It was a very long story.
But in reality, it was just a split second.
During that time, Chen Xia saw the past through the spirit of Bihar.
The reason Bihar woke up to this world was because of his worries about Berkia.
But just as Chen Xia saw Bihar’s past.
Bihar also saw Chen Xia’s past.
And I learned how my descendants lived.
His will became a curse that has tormented his descendants for thousands of years.
That countless shadows have been pessimistic about themselves.
-Do you resent me too?
‘Yes, I resented it a lot.’
Although she dreamed of becoming a hero since she was young, her mission as a shadow kept Chen Xia trapped.
Chen Xia blamed his ancestors, the culprits who had made his clan live in darkness all their lives.
but… … .
‘Are you embarrassed by us, Bihar?’
-no. I’m proud, very proud.
Bihar’s descendants did not lose sight of their mission even in the midst of suffering.
How can one not be proud of the descendants who have maintained their legacy for a long time?
Chen Xia smiled at Bihar’s words.
Bihar clearly kept his descendants in the dark.
Even if it was unintentional.
Countless people suffered.
But one thing was certain.
‘I resented Bihar, but I was just as proud.’
No one acknowledged it.
Countless people have been pointing fingers at the Shan Empire.
Because they cannot be listed on hero records, they have been discriminated against despite their dedication to the world.
Despite this, the Shan Empire has quietly pursued its own path for a long time.
This is because he was proud of Bihar, which he devoted his entire life to for the world.
‘It’s probably the same for our predecessors. I think I lived in darkness for thousands of years without anyone going astray, even though I may be angry because I am proud of Bihar.’
Chen Xia said.
‘So Bihar is fully qualified to be called our ancestor.’
Bihar had no answer.
-Thank you for saying that.
He simply expressed his gratitude for Chen Xia’s comforting words in a trembling voice.
‘How amazing. I don’t have any talent as a spiritualist, but I can’t believe I can talk to my ancestors like this.’
-It was Master’s spiritual magic that woke me up. But it is your spiritual power that completed the contract.
The contract that Leo made through Bihar’s dagger responded to Chen Xia’s spiritual power.
Chen Xia said after hearing Bihar’s words.
‘Then it would be possible for you to possess my body?’
Chen Xia looked towards Leo.
‘I need strength.’
-okay. Rather, it is something I wanted to ask for.
***
“Bihar, you… … .”
“We’ll talk later.”
Vihar smiled faintly.
“I will stop Berkia from now on.”
Bihar adjusted his dagger and held it.
“Master, please punish that elf.”
“okay.”
Leo walked towards Ulaine.
Leaving that figure behind, he stood in front of Berkia where Vihar was holding his head.
“Berkhia.”
“Ah… … .”
Berkia was holding her head and shaking her head like crazy.
Bihar said while looking at Berkia.
“I don’t blame you. But if it just falls apart.”
“AA AA AA!”
“I will never forgive you.”
Flash! Quagga-ga-ga-ga-gang-!
The sword wielded by Berkia swept through Bihar.
Berkia’s gaze quickly turned back.
Although it moved at an invisible speed, Berkia’s senses caught up with Bihar in an instant.
Trup-
For a moment, confusion appeared in Berkia’s eyes as she lost her senses.
Before we knew it, Bihar had become two people.
Turp-plop-
Two people, four people.
Four people became eight.
Soon, countless Vihars stood in front of Berkia.
“We were like sisters. That’s how much we fought. “Do you remember what we fought about?”
There was one thing that both sides could never compromise on.
Bihar said calmly.
“5,000 years ago, I couldn’t settle the matter because I was the first to close my eyes due to illness.”
Bihar’s gaze shone sharply.
“Let’s make that decision now.”
