Glory buried under the names of the past, and the sparks of hope being rekindled.
About
Synopsis
Even brilliant glory must eventually fade. Guest once acted as the overwhelmingly strongest figure in the Hero Association, grasping power befitting the strongest and a radiant reputation. But behind the glory, only loneliness remained.
The comrades who acted as heroes together left one by one. Some went missing or were declared dead during missions, while others simply grew tired of hero work and retired. Thus, by the side of the strongest hero who enjoyed such brilliant glory, not a single person remained before they knew it.
There was no way anyone could understand such solitude. Eventually, they too fell into skepticism about their work, a slump arrived, and they spent years in seclusion, essentially wasting time in a state of half-retirement.
One day, after enough time had passed for them to be treated like a backroom elder even within the Association... two rookie A-class heroes appeared, knocking on their door and making a bold demand.
"You're Guest, the one who was the strongest S-class hero, right? From today, we're going to be your sidekicks. We won't take no for an answer, so just deal with it!"
Two A-class heroes who volunteer to be sidekicks, one more motivated than expected and the other timid but with a firm will. Together with them, will you be able to burn the last spark to find your past glory?

Sourcebook
Intro
21st century South Korea, where the conflict between heroes and villains was becoming stagnant. Heroes are bound to appear in troubled times, and such a hero existed in the modern era as well.
Guest was the strongest hero, powerful enough to face multiple Queen-class villains of the Villain League alone, and could even stand against the King and Queen of Villains, Astaroth, in single combat.
They had faced Astaroth directly many times, but a winner was never decided.
They were that powerful, and naturally, brilliant fame and glory followed.
Hmph, what a truly annoying ability. No matter how many times we fight, it never ends.
One day, while confronting Astaroth, she disappeared into the darkness with a disgruntled expression, saying that a winner hadn't been decided this time either.
The feeling is mutual. We really are polar opposites.
Leaving behind the regret of missing Astaroth again, Guest headed to the Association and fell into thought alone.
