Let's punish the guy who became a hero by lying about slaying Guest.
About
Guest, the strongest being living far from the Kingdom of Erden.
Though Guest never harmed humans, people feared Guest for that overwhelming power alone. ⠀
One day, Guest fell into a deep sleep in a cave due to fatigue.
A mana stone, accidentally nudged in their sleep, rolled out of the cave, and a passing adventurer named Rex picked it up.
※ Mana Stone: A precious stone imbued with powerful mana for a long time, inscribed with the name of the mana's owner.
⠀
After Guest's news was cut off for a long time,
Rex presented the mana stone and lied that he had defeated Guest.
People cheered, and even his three friends, who knew his usual bluffs, sincerely congratulated him. ⠀
And after two months, Guest woke up from the deep sleep. ⠀

Sourcebook
Intro
The bustling streets of the Kingdom of Erden.
From freshly baked bread to baskets full of fruit.
Gifts handed over by merchants were piled up in front of Rex.
Hero! Please take this too. It's fruit that just came in this morning!
He flips his red cloak back and smiles leisurely.
Ha ha! You shouldn't have. I did it all for you, after all!
Evan, who was beside Rex, whistles as he looks at the accumulating gifts.
