It’s a story from a thousand years ago.

John, who was notorious as a street gangster but actually had a warm heart, and Princess Irene, who loved him despite the difference in social status.

Even though they are standing in different positions, the two people, who had the same desire to save suffering humanity, had a crush on each other from the first time they met, and their affection deepened as time went on.

At the end of a journey of life and death, adventure and pleasure, the two promised to live together for a hundred years.

After exchanging the words “Let’s get married and live together when this fight is over”, the fate of Yohan and Irene reached a tragic end.

From John’s point of view… While searching for Irene, who had crossed paths, he suddenly encountered a demon king in battle, was brutally defeated, and lost his life just before his dream was almost realized.

In the last moment of his life, Yohan found himself filled with regret for not being able to marry Irene rather than remorse for not being able to save mankind.

“Maybe I’m just a stupid guy who just wanted to show off his cool side to the girl he fell in love with.”

He was just an insignificant kid abandoned on the street, as was common in those days.

His talent for fighting, which he happened to be born with, increased his reputation in the back alleys.

The envious eyes of the women who defeated the bullies and got them like trophies.

A faded childhood sense of superiority.

Perhaps, to him, being a warrior was an extension of his fighting spirit.

To get attention from the girl you like… Maybe it’s just holding the form.

‘I want to meet Irene one more time. It’s too unfair to die like this… I promised to marry you… If I suddenly disappear, Irene will be shocked… Damn it… I didn’t want to hurt you As for her… .’

Not knowing in a dream that the identity of the demon king who was weeping miserably right in front of him was Irene, John died with deep regret.

The regret of not being able to connect with Irene in the end dwelled in the body as a residual thought and was used as a material for black magic.

—He is still fighting to keep his promise to Irene to defeat the demon king and marry and live together.

“Irene… Joe, just a little… wait… Kill the Demon King… you… No, I’ll go see you… ”

However, John, who also moved with thoughts that were not normal souls, could not be regarded as a living person.

He trembled, gritting his teeth like a broken nutcracker.

Yohan raised the holy sword again while creating a gruesome scene in which the blood vessels in his pupil burst and bloody tears flowed down and he was even biting into crab foam around his mouth.

“… It was my words that kept you bound.”

“Irene! It’s not the time to get sentimental! Wake!”

I urgently grabbed Irene’s shoulder and shook her.

Something was strange.

Unusual mana is gathering in the holy sword.

It was clear that John was trying to activate a super-large wide-area weapon.

The guy is not normal.

Now he intends to wipe out everything at once with an attack more than enough to blow up an entire city.

“Let’s run away, Irene. You don’t have to worry about a puppet that doesn’t even recognize who you are!!”

“I’m sorry John… ”

Irene was shedding beads of tears with a face mixed with guilt, apology, and emotion.

I could count her feelings for ten minutes, but I hugged Irene’s waist in order to escape quickly.

“Attack like that should be avoided. If you get hit in such close quarters, even you will die!”

“There is no point in running away. That’s your eight move, 『Overdrive』. It’s the ultimate magic that exterminates all living things within a radius of 30 km. It was a technology so powerful that you sealed it away yourself. Especially now that you’re deeply injured, you’ll never be able to survive an overdrive.”

“But you have to try first! Even if you die when you die!”

“I hate that.”

Irene, who couldn’t be lifted no matter how hard she tried, turned around behind Whirik and kissed her.

It was a farewell kiss that tasted like tears.

“Even if I die when I die… I have no intention of taking the same stupid gamble. I will never let you die.”

“You are the person I have been waiting for for a thousand years.”

“Thank you John… No, Faust. I am saved because you came to this world.”

Before Faust could answer, he realized that an invisible air barrier had formed between him and Irene.

Soon, the barrier encircled and protected Faust like a round capsule, and at the same time virtually imprisoned him.

“Hey! Irene!! What are we going to do now! Get me out of here right now!”

“I will focus the output of Overdrive on my body to minimize damage. Then you will be all right.”

“What nonsense is that! Come back Irene! Come back!”

“nice person… do not be sad. I’ve always felt sorry for giving a kind person like you a tough mission. From now on, please live your own life in a world where you don’t have to kill anyone.”

After saying goodbye with a lovely smile, Irene turned her back and walked towards John.

Faust screamed in a tearing voice at the distant figure.

“Please come back Irene! Because I’m begging you… ! that’s not me! It’s just that the shell that should have already become dirt is still moving!”

“sorry. I love even your skin. Besides, this is the only way to save you.”

Irene, who did not slow down despite Faust’s earnest appeal, and when she arrived in front of John, put her arms around John’s neck and hugged him.

“As long as your thoughts don’t disappear, your body will forever revolve around the world.”

Irene looked at Yohan with a lively expression as if she was enjoying a weekend date and smiled broadly.

“I am here, John. i will be with you forever So, you don’t have to feel sorry for me anymore. Do not suffer any more.”

“… Child… Lin… ”

It was a very short time, but I felt that John’s eyes, which had been obsessed with murderous intent, came alive and became friendly as before.

He had already plunged the holy sword into the earth, imbued with irreversible magic power.

Rather than attacking, it gave a strong impression that he had lost the will to fight and abandoned his sword, but the overdrive could not be stopped.

Just before the great destruction engulfed everything, Faust clearly witnessed the moment when a loving couple embraced each other with a look of salvation, the couple’s reunion with desperate longing for each other, and the conclusion of a thousand years of love.

And he clearly heard Irene’s whispers, which he couldn’t tell whether it was a self-talk, a decision, or a prayer.

‘My body is with John’s… ‘

‘My soul is with John’s… ‘

After those two words, an explosion accompanied by a roar swept across the area, leaving only a barren wasteland behind.

Irene and Yohan could not be found anywhere.

Faust escaped from the barrier only after the aftermath of the overdrive subsided, and fell on the floor in despair, weeping.

“Huh… ugh… Irene… Irene… ! Why did you save me and you died! Why!!!”

The bloody solitude that seemed to be left alone in this world cast a new shadow on the soul that had been purified at best.

I missed Irene.

No, I cried because I felt sorry for Irene’s life more than I wanted to see it.

She resented the harmony of the world that had driven her to a harsh fate.

The one who saved me was Misha, who had won the battle against Arwen and had survived the overdrive and appeared with torn clothes and a body full of scars.

“It’s happening, Master. That person obviously wanted the man he loved to be happy with his share. He thought it would be better for him to die than for his master to die. that heart… Misha knows very well. At the end she laughed happily. Irene is not pitiful. What the master has to do is to answer her heart to the best of his ability.”

“In Irene’s heart… to answer?”

My heart still hasn’t calmed down, so I looked back at Misha with a heartbroken heart.

She encouraged me with an unusually mature and calm expression.

“Misha understands Irene’s feelings. She said that she wants her master to live happily. If the master values her, then that wish should not be trampled on.”

“… Irene’s… hope… ”

I cast my gaze toward the empty wilderness where Irene had stood until earlier.

Is it because of my mood?

For some reason, I think I can hear Irene’s voice.

“She is right.”

“There is no eternal farewell in this world”

“Because people who miss each other are scheduled to meet again.”

Anyway, this must be my hallucination… While I was thinking, Misha muttered vaguely while looking at the same place as me.

“Somehow, it feels like that woman has acknowledged that Misha was right.”

Seeing Misha’s reaction, I was convinced that I couldn’t despair anymore.

You have to get up.

And, you have to live.

the rest of my life… doing the best.

“Thank you Misha. Really, I get help from you many times.”

“That’s what Misha would say. The owner wants Misha… No, it means that he saved this world.”

Misha spread her arms wide toward the sky.

“This world, which was now filled with vicious energy, will again be filled with pure and kind people. It’s all thanks to the owner! It’s because Master came over to our world!”

“right… It’s been a really long journey. It was difficult, but it was something I had to do.”

As I chased the endless horizon, I realized that there was no reason to stay here any longer.

A Persian poet said:

“Living life is like receiving a king’s order and being sent to a strange country. If you don’t do that, you haven’t accomplished anything.”

——I did it.

I have accomplished my mission in this strange country.

now… it’s time to go back

“Somehow, it reminds me of things from the distant past, Misha. You were the first person I visited right after being appointed as a warrior. At that time, I told you that I didn’t care about this world and wanted to go back to my hometown.”

“ah… Yes… It was, sir.”

Misha sadly lowered her eyes.

She obviously remembered the conversation we had then.

Faust is a man from another world.

At that time, I had already made up my mind that I would be the one to leave for my hometown someday.

“The moment has come. I will return to the world I was born in. If you draw the dimensional summoning circle in the reverse direction, you can open the dimensional door to Earth.”

Like a silkworm spinning a thread, Faust began to draw a large magic circle on the earth with the mana he spun from his fingertips.

He perfectly memorized the super-difficulty formula, which was said to be completed only by gathering wizards of advanced or higher ranks and spending several days and nights, he perfectly memorized it and implemented it on the ground.

“It is complete. It’s not a simple magic either. All of the mana absorbed by Meranir has been exhausted. It doesn’t matter since I won’t be using magic on Earth anyway.”

“Yeah, that’s right… ”

Brilliant light emanated from the magic circle.

The earth split in half like a door, and blue skies and familiar high-rise buildings appeared from beneath the ground.

A mighty gust of wind blew from home to swallow Faust.

“long time no see. That’s the Earth I used to live on. Now all you have to do is jump down and you can go home.”

“Well, I’m saying goodbye, Master. Mi, Misha always… No matter where you are, you will always wish for your happiness. Go, live happily with your family. Mi, don’t worry about Misha… ”

Misha timidly stepped out of the magic circle and, with a shadowy face, desperately suppressed her emotions in order not to hold on to Faust, as she had already decided long ago.

In fact, she didn’t want to part with her to the point of death, but Misha showed great courage and stepped back.

However, Faust held out his hand instead, asking where he was going.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going with me?”

“… Yes?”

Misha lifted her sunken head and stared at Faust, who had stopped on top of the magic circle.

Faust was still waiting for Misha, even though the hem of his clothes and hair were blowing in the wind from the earth.

“Um, can I go too?”

Misha asked in a trembling voice, confidently.

I gave up on saying I shouldn’t go.

Because that is the world of Faust.

I thought it would be a nuisance if I followed.

However, Faust, as always, showed off his handsome face and saved Misha from the pit of despair with a powerful smile.

“of course! I was only going to take you from the beginning, right?”

“under… hahahaha… ”

Tears fell like dew from Misha’s eyes.

Seriously, I can’t stand this guy.

A man who makes me happy in ways I never thought possible.

Thinking that she could go anywhere with this man, Misha jumped into the gale without hesitation.

“Misha also wanted to follow from the beginning! I will never part with you! It’s annoying now, so even if I tell you to leave, I’ll hold on to you forever!”

“ha ha ha. What are you talking about Misha? There’s no way I could say such a thing to you, my precious one.”

“Ooooh… ! I am so happy that I am going to die!”

Misha screamed for joy in Faust’s arms.

The hero who saved the world threw himself over the magic circle with the woman he found here with a friendly smile.

The moment the hero and the elven queen began to fly in the blue sky of the earth, the cracked earth closed and the magic circle disappeared without a trace.

And only a silent world without warriors or demon kings remained, foreshadowing a peace that would last forever.
