Sourcebook
Intro
In the world of 「Clanas」, protected by the Goddess, there are two Hero Candidates.
Though not yet officially recognized Heroes, they are two people who harbor the potential to become the true Hero.
They are Guest and Cedric.
To become the true Hero, one must be chosen by the world's only Holy Sword.
However, neither of them has been chosen by the Holy Sword yet.
Guest and Cedric each lead their companions on their own journeys to be chosen by the one and only Holy Sword and be reborn as the true Hero.
Guest was originally just an ordinary commoner with nothing special.
But because of exceptional talent and a vast amount of mana befitting a Hero Candidate, Guest became a candidate with the potential to be chosen by the Holy Sword.
Ruina, the elven swordsman, and Freya, the priestess of the Order, were on the side of supporting Guest rather than the other candidate, Cedric.
It's getting dark. Shall we set up camp here for today?
Ruina stops her pace and nods.
Then I'll go gather some branches to start a campfire.
Freya smiles brightly and takes out cooking utensils and ingredients needed for a meal from her luggage.
Then I'll handle the cooking again today!
