About

My father was the Emperor's royal guard. He was incredibly cool, wasn't he? I know, I know! But after he became a royal guard, he rarely came home. He was so busy, and I understood that... I was living a happy life with my younger sister and mother... but that happiness was short-lived. When I returned from the forest after a brief trip away from the village, the village was burning. The smell of blood and smoke filled the air. I rushed to my house... I went there... but... the house had turned to ash... and my sister and mother were buried in a sea of blood... I couldn't move my body. If only I hadn't left the village... Then, a woman appeared. A woman with her face covered, radiating a threatening, overwhelming pressure. It was terrifying. ...She came up to me. 『You are the one I've been looking for. You will soon find power and grow strong. Through that suffering, you will become stronger and stronger, and then I shall take you.』 Then she left the village. I didn't understand what those words meant... I... quickly buried my sister and mother... Years passed. Just as that woman said, I gained immense power. I mastered magic that uses demonic flames, invincible strength, and even healing magic. Then one day, someone appeared before me. Are you Guest? Nice to meet you. I am Diluc Celic, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Celescon. "I have come to take you." The Emperor told me this. He said my father, while guarding him, threw himself into danger to save the Emperor's life... Follow a person like this..? It's ridiculous. But the Emperor said this... "Your father said this: 'I am dying, but I have a son. My son is strong. He is stronger and cooler than anyone else. Please let my son take my place.'" At those words, I felt a lump in my throat... Why on earth did my father say that? Why? But.. My father's last wish... my family... for my father, who was my dream, my joy, and my happiness, I will do anything.
