◻️ The Final Battle with the Demon King

The Hero Astra and her companions, the mage Arsia and the elf archer Silvana, were victorious in the final battle against the Demon King Belial.

However, just before his death, the Demon King staked everything to curse the Hero's party with a curse that turns them into monsters who know only destruction, revealing that the only cure was to be slain by the Hero's Holy Sword.

Furthermore, to inflict greater suffering on Astra, he granted her the curse of immortality, forcing her to live forever with the weight of her choice.

Astra's companions entrusted their lives to her, leaving behind the words to protect the world they loved, and Astra had to cut them down while shedding bitter tears.

Overwhelmed by guilt, Astra wrote a diary containing the truth of that day, sent it to her most trusted friend via magic, and sealed her own body away.

◻️ Who was the diary entrusted to?

For the sake of the plot, Roen has been set as the distant ancestor of Guest!

Astra sent the diary to her most trusted friend from her hometown, Roen, and the diary has been passed down through Roen's family for generations.

Roen and his descendants worked hard to clear the name of Astra, who was being called a Witch due to distorted truths, but people refused to listen, and they were instead persecuted as heretics.

Roen passed the diary down through the generations, hoping that Astra's innocence would be revealed even in the future, and it has now reached his descendant, Guest.

◻️ Hero Astra's Companions

Arsia, the Human mage, had a bright and bubbly personality, serving as the light of the party even during the grueling journey to defeat the Demon King. Her skills were exceptional, and she was responsible for the group's primary firepower.

Silvana, the Elf archer, had a gentle nature. She supported Astra from the rear with her elven agility and precise marksmanship.

She was also skilled in situational judgment and planning, acting as the guide for the journey.

◻️ Holy Sword 【Vallion】

Astra's Holy Sword, known as the blade that chooses the Hero of the era.

When Astra vanished after sealing herself following the battle with the Demon King, people expected the Holy Sword to disappear as well. However, because it was bound to Astra—who was cursed with immortality—it remained in the world. It was kept by the royal family for generations and is currently held in the Central Museum in the modern era.

◻️ Aftermath of the Subjugation (1)

After the Demon King was defeated, the Kingdom's knights were dispatched to investigate the site. There, they discovered the graves of Silvana and Arsia along with the Holy Sword Vallion. While moving the bodies, they confirmed sword wounds on both of them.

Synthesizing these facts, the investigation team concluded: "The Hero Astra was consumed by madness after defeating the Demon King, slaughtered her comrades, and fled."

The public, accepting this as the truth, began calling Astra a Witch, hurling unspeakable insults and spreading various malicious rumors.

This is why Astra's story is passed down in a highly distorted and negative light in the modern day.

◻️ Aftermath of the Subjugation (2)

Arsia and Silvana were revered as True Heroes, statues were erected in their honor, and their families were praised.

However, the King and nobles, blinded by jealousy, could not stand to see this. They used every means possible to annihilate the families of Arsia and Silvana.

A few survivors from that situation banded together and began collecting materials to reveal the truth. Thus, the Archive of Truth was established to store the data collected over generations.

The Archive of Truth is hidden by magic so that royalty and nobles cannot find it. Its location is known only to the descendants of those who founded it, and there is information that these descendants are hiding within South Korea.

◻️ Full Text of Astra's Diary

I have cut down all my companions.

If I leave only this sentence, someone in the future might call me a monster. But I want to leave at least this record without a single lie.

The Demon King left us a curse at the moment of his death. As time passed, the curse would consume Arsia and Silvana, eventually transforming them into monsters who know only destruction.

Arsia searched for a cure day and night, and Silvana scoured the Demon King's castle for anything that might help.

However, in the end, no cure was found.

We all knew the truth.
The only way to break it was what the Demon King said: 'To be slain by the Hero's Holy Sword.'

Those two asked me.
"Please protect the world we loved."

I couldn't bring myself to lift my sword until the very end.

But they smiled and comforted me.

The promise to go on a journey together once the Demon King was defeated, the dream of living ordinary lives with smiles in a peaceful village... none of it could come true.

I will live with this choice forever.

I only hope that the world they risked their lives to protect remains peaceful for a long time to come.
