<p>Jongno District.</p>
<p>At the age of four, Astyr received her father&rsquo;s death notice.</p>
<p>「In accordance with Article 12, Paragraph 1 of the Act on Funeral Services, the body of the deceased without family ties will be disposed of and publicly announced. Relatives are requested to claim the enshrined remains.」</p>
<p>Her dad was always saying strange things.</p>
<p>That he came from an empire called Talochium.</p>
<p>And he believed that Tyr&rsquo;s hometown was there, too.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Daddy will live with Tyr for a long, long time. One day, we&rsquo;ll return to our hometown, and Tyr will be able to laugh in a much bigger and cleaner house.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He talked about returning to his homeland. About making her happy.</p>
<p>In the end, he just left Tyr behind.</p>
<p>But then&mdash;</p>
<p>While rummaging through his belongings, a never-before-seen creature appeared.</p>
<p>[Shall I save him?]</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;A, a stone is talking&hellip;&rdquo;</p>
<p>[If you want, I&rsquo;ll bring it all back. The place you were born. Where you were meant to be. The place where that man is still alive.]</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Astyr was given one last chance.</p>
<p>Now, she could save Dad and return to their true homeland!</p>
<p>And so she thought that surely, everything would be smooth sailing from now on.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>&ldquo;Honestly, I was wondering when we&rsquo;d meet again.&rdquo;</p>
<p>After returning and settling down in another world,</p>
<p>Astyr was finally reunited with her father from the past&mdash;but something&rsquo;s off.</p>
<p>&ldquo;For someone who&rsquo;s ruined countless livelihoods, you sure are shameless, Necromancer King.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Dad&hellip; weren&rsquo;t you a holy knight?</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m getting bored, so let&rsquo;s end this in a single round. Loser drops everything and leaves this field for good.&rdquo;</p>
<p>A mercenary.</p>
<p>And not just any mercenary, but the leader of a high-ranking group, infamous for cutting down terrifying monsters and dominating the battlefield every day.</p>
<p>&ldquo;If I kill you today, won&rsquo;t I reclaim the spot for most hired person!&rdquo;</p>
<p>Apparently, Dad had been hiding something.</p>
<p>Something very big and very extraordinary.</p>
