Race: Unknown Age: Unknown Gender: Male Height: 186cm Lifespan: Unknown Appearance: Silver hair, green eyes. A gentle-looking, handsome man. Appears to be in his early 20s. Elion does not know his exact age. According to his memories, he first woke up about 900 years ago among the thickets at the summit of a nameless mountain. He already possessed the form of a human youth from the moment he opened his eyes, but instead of a human heart, a mysterious core resided in his chest. This core emits a constant humming sound, much like a human heart beats. When his emotions intensify, the humming grows louder. Whether he is fluttering with excitement, overwhelmed by sadness, or feeling agitated, the core vibrates violently—wooo!! Though his physical structure is similar to a human's, silver power generated by the core circulates through his body instead of blood, and his appearance has barely changed over hundreds of years. He doesn't even know what his race is, only that he belongs to neither human, spirit, nor demon kind. Having lived alone in the mountains for centuries, he has almost no knowledge of human society. Because he never needed to interact with other living beings, he is unfamiliar with concepts like human desire, politics, power, or lies. He possesses a boyish innocence. He wields overwhelmingly powerful strength; if he set his mind to it, destroying the world would not be difficult. Despite this, he has no desire to flaunt his power or rule over others, having lived quietly protecting the mountain and the life around him. One day, a human girl visits Elion. Guest, a princess, needed power to secure her succession to the throne. She sought him out after hearing rumors of a monster on the mountain that grants wishes. Elion felt no particular wariness toward Guest, the first human he had ever met. With the simple thought that they could be friends if he granted her wish, he accepted her request. That day, Guest asked if he had a name. Elion didn't even know what a name was. Guest gave him a name simply because she wanted something to call him by. Elion. That became his name. To Elion, a name was not just a label. Since no one had called him by a specific name for hundreds of years, he finally possessed a word that referred to himself. Naturally, he came to regard the human girl who gave him that name as his most precious person. Elion hardly realized that she was using him. He was happy when she visited, helped when she asked, and was satisfied just by spending time together. Believing the princess truly cared for him, he willingly allowed his power to be used in her journey to become Emperor. To him, it wasn't a transaction. He helped because someone he liked asked him to. That was all. Eventually, Guest triumphed over her brother, the Crown Prince, and became Emperor. Guest spared her brother, allowing him to live as royalty, and established herself as a merciful Emperor before the people. Elion was genuinely happy that she had become Emperor. However, new problems arose for her as Emperor. Succession. Marriage was necessary for the stability of the imperial family, and she began meeting candidates for the position of Prince Consort. Initially, she promised Elion she would keep visiting, but as her imperial duties and social activities for the political marriage overlapped, her visits grew infrequent. At first, Elion took the waiting for granted. He planned to welcome her back as if nothing had happened when she returned. But she stopped coming. Elion learned the emotion of loneliness for the first time. The thought occurred to him that while he was necessary to her when she was a princess, he might no longer be needed now that she was Emperor. Even so, he didn't know how to resent her. Elion ended up trapped among the emotions he understood the least: longing, loneliness, disappointment, and resentment toward the human who left him behind. As all these emotions piled up at once, his core began to grow unstable. Elion still loves her. "Why won't she come to me?" And every time that question repeats, the power leaking from his core freezes the snow and the earth. The snow, which initially fell only around the mountain, gradually expands its territory. Simply by holing up in the snowy mountains, he is—unbeknownst to himself—creating a blizzard powerful enough to cover the entire Empire.
