It was another winter morning, and Ralph, who was a wizard who traveled the continent at the time, had just finished his work. He was experimenting with a new potion, but it was forever mixed with an unusual impurity that was difficult to erase.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Ralph, who was going to rest for a while, opened the door with a frown, and the child in shabby leather armor outside the door was followed by this strange child.

"Ramikis?" Ralph asked, "what are you doing here with me, and who is he?"

"Uncle Ralph, I'm going on an adventure!" Ramikis said with a blushing face.

"What, risky?" Ralph asked, unresponsive, "What adventures did you say?"

"It's an adventure! With a sword and wine, he left his home, traveled across the continent, went through a thousand hardships and dangers, died nine times, and became an immortal legend!" said Ramikis as if there were stars twinkling in his eyes.

"You can go home dressed like this now and die directly, and you don't need to take risks or anything. Ralph said speechlessly: "Also, return the sword in your hand to Daddy Sora, it is not easy for his blacksmith to make a qualified iron sword." ”

"No, I'm going to follow Esther on an adventure!" Ramikis flatly refused: "Esther said, he will take me to become a legend!"

Ralph frowned when he heard this, looked at the strangely dressed young man in front of him and asked, "What are you Easter?"

"Yes, Mr. Ralph, I am Easter, a traveler from the East. The young man said to Ralph.

Ralph nodded slowly and asked, "So, Mr. East from the East, what do you want to do with me? I'm not a stupid idiot like Ramikis." So be sure not to use those insulting words against me. ”

"Would you believe me if I said I wanted to change the world?" the young man asked.

Ralph naturally didn't believe it, never did.

He didn't believe it when the young man picked up a legendary sword master from a tavern on the side of the road, he didn't believe it when the young man persuaded the second son of the Duke of the Empire to become his subordinate, and he didn't believe it when the general, who was known as the number one in the continent, was willing to serve him.

He didn't believe when the most promising knight of the Holy See was rebelled against by young people, he didn't believe when the princess of the empire who died became a general under the young people, and he didn't believe when the young man established a human empire and occupied nearly half of the continent.

Even when young people are elevated to the throne and they are made gods, he still doesn't believe it.

It's like that silly boy named Ramikis who always believes in that young man no matter what happens.

"What kind of world do you want to build?" Ralph asked the young man seated on the throne.

"A world where there is no exploitation, no oppression, equality for all, prosperity for all. The young man replied.

When he had finished speaking, the young man smiled, and he smiled heartily, as if he was full of confidence.

Then ten equally young faces laughed at the young man's side, and in just ten years, the young man had taken them to a place where their dreams were within reach, and it seemed that they could touch the perfect future just by taking one step forward.

No one thought that the divine seat they were sitting on would be shattered in such a short time.

Everything came too quickly, the power of the sun god was stolen by the wizard, and East, who had a bad relationship with the wizard, was angry and wanted to trouble the wizard, but when he moved his kingdom, the god of light called him over.

It was impossible for Esther to go, for some reason, after a brief exchange with the God of Light. He chose to go to the covenant despite the opposition and counsel of his twelve gods.

The pigs can see that it's a pit, and you have to jump into it and cover it yourself.

Aren't you mentally retarded?

Esther went, naturally it was a trap, and the wizards got the coordinates of East's kingdom, and then rushed over like locusts, dragging the entire shadow kingdom to the ground.

East, who has lost the kingdom of God, does not even have a chance to walk out of the kingdom of the Holy Light.

When the twelve of them rushed out of East, they were faced with only the god of light with a strange crazy smile on his face, the god of light was not a god, but the alliance far exceeded their imagination, and a divine war broke out.

Even though they were extremely strong, Vincent eliminated five gods of the same rank in one battle, Albert dragged one, Mordal solved one, and everyone else solved two or more. But after all, they were only from God, and when they were crushed by an entire kingdom of God, they were defeated and defeated, and the God of Light cursed them.

Yes, instead of killing them, they were cursed.

Eleven souls fell into darkness forever, and had to rely on human blood to survive that extreme desire, and then, because of their ingestion, more blood tribes began to greedily hunt humans.

It's like a ridiculous joke, the guy who keeps saying that he wants to protect humanity has become a nightmare for mortals.

Therefore, they created a huge barrier bound to their lives, completely separating the Shadow Empire from the outside world.

This is the history of the so-called Shadow Country, which became one of the largest forces in the world in less than a decade and a joke in the epic in less than a month. The god of shadows has fallen, and the twelve gods have become the cursed Dark Bloods.

To live is a heavier punishment than to die, and eternity means torture.

"The God of Light has succeeded, and even if he is as strong as Vincent, his will has been worn away. We begin to be eroded by darkness and degenerate into a purgatory called despair, we become accustomed to listening to the suffering of others and lose our kindness and compassion. Ralph said, "This is the end of the so-called Shadow Empire. ”

Frank quietly listened to the memories of the person in front of him and asked, "Twelve people, eleven souls, what about Conrad?"

Ralph didn't speak, and outside the house, a man who looked a little like Ralph walked in and looked at Frank quietly.

Ralph and Conrad spoke at the same time, "We are one soul, two bodies. ”

"Conrad was a clone I made out of half of myself, and the purpose was to use him to heal people in my place, which was a secret between me and Easter. But because Conrad's image is too full, when he finally became a god, Conrad was also a god. Conrad said.

Frank nodded thoughtfully and asked, "But, anyway, that shouldn't be your reason for finding me." ”

"The biggest difference between East and us, apart from his desperate speed of improvement, is that he has a completely different worldview from ours. We see the world from a different angle than him, and to a certain extent, his actions are imaginative and elusive. But on the other hand, this made a lot of things short for him from the very beginning. Ralph said.

"Idealization, and utopianization. Frank said.

"Yes, that makes me doubt his identity. I began to lay out an intelligence network everywhere I could contact to look for possible weirdos. But the vast majority of them died. Ralph said with a sigh.

"Died unexpectedly?" Frank wondered.

"Yes, the most outrageous one is that he inexplicably killed a guy who grabbed food from him and then looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and then rushed into the upper city of the blood clan to ask someone to kneel for him. Ralph said.

"More than 400 people, as long as they die after coming, there will be new people to make up for it, and it will be endless. Ralph said, "One thing I know for sure is that you must have a purpose. ”

"It's not that we have a purpose, but there are people who have a purpose. Frank said, his consciousness sinking into the spiritual sea again, looking at the ball of light in the center there.
