"What is he doing here?"
"Did he lose his way?"
"Probably."
"This is the first time I've seen him outside of fighting lessons."
Similar whispers buzzed in every corner of the classroom. Students were sitting in groups on desks, stealing glances and whispering at the black-haired young man who was the subject of the conversation.
The black-haired young man was taking some notes in his notebook with a serious expression. The class hadn't even started yet, and people who didn't know him thought he was a hard-working and serious student.
Unfortunately, everyone in the class was made up of people who knew him. Because they recognized him, they merely looked at him with expressions of curiosity, suspicion, or fear; Despite these different expressions, the question was the same in their minds. "What was this guy doing in history class?"
When Lester left the dwarf and returned home yesterday, he decided to make a to-do list to prepare for some important future events.
While he was sitting at his desk, seriously listing possible events that could happen in the future, an old man entered the classroom.
The professor of the history course was a famous historian on the continent. When the old professor entered the classroom, the noise in the classroom ended. Students forming groups began to return to their desks. The professor waited for the class to settle down and then started teaching the lesson.
Even though Lester had a history of playing the game hundreds of times, there were a lot of things about this world's history that he wasn't sure about. So he decided to attend the history class.
"Today's topic is based on a recent event. We will talk about the red dragon and the heroes who defeated it."
Red dragon!
Hearing the word dragon, the students began to listen with interest.
"30 years ago, there was another Empire comparable to our Empire: the Raidon Empire. A Dungeon appeared in the Raidon Empire. Hundreds of adventurers flocked to the Dungeon to explore the newly emerged dungeon, but no one who entered came back."
Dungeons were called dimensional fractures in the world. These shards contained creatures or items from other worlds. Even though dungeons had been around for hundreds of years, they were still a great mystery. Those outside the dungeon could enter and exit the dungeon, but it was very difficult for the beings inside the dungeon to get out. The only way out was to break the dungeon. In order to break the dungeon, they had to be strong enough to destroy the Portal.
Taking a deep breath, the professor continued in a dry voice.

"Understanding the seriousness of the incident, the adventurers' association reported the situation to the Raidon Empire. A unit of elite soldiers and adventurers was sent to explore the dungeon."
"Shortly after the team entered the Dungeon, the event that would bring disaster to the world occurred: the dungeon was broken."
Breaking a Portal required an incredible amount of strength, especially if it was the Portal of a newly opened dungeon.
The students were listening to the story without blinking. Everyone here was made up of people who would one day be at the top of the world in their field, and these people were wondering how absurdly powerful a newly formed dungeon-breaking being was.
Realizing that the students were listening with interest, the professor spoke without hiding his excitement. “From the broken Dungeon, a monster emerged that was tens of meters tall, had a long powerful tail, huge wings, and red scales.”
"According to the records, when the monster that introduced itself as the 'red dragon' first appeared, it wanted to talk to the Raidon Empire; the Empire said that they did not need to talk to a monster and mobilized the army. Seeing that empire sent an army against the him, the red dragon became angry. The angry monster could spew black flame from its mouth. What came out of its mouth "This Black flame was not ordinary; it could not extinguish these Black flames with water, burning the place it touched to ashes. The dragon, which burned thousands of people to ashes with these Black flames, continued and did not stop until it burned the entire Empire to ashes."
The students who heard the professor were astonished.
Was it possible for such a monster to exist?
They continued to listen intently to the story of the monster that brought down an Empire.
The professor took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
"Other countries were worried when they heard the news of the red dragon that burned the Empire to ashes. A single monster had burned the Empire to ashes! Shocked by this news, the countries on the continent held a conference. As a result of the conference, dozens of experts from each country were sent to subdue the dragon."
"A great battle took place between these experts and the dragon. The dragon killed all the experts sent, but this incident made the dragon even more angry. The angry dragon vented his anger on the nearby kingdoms."
"Everyone was terrified by the dragon that defeated even the experts at the top, but there was something else that everyone knew. They didn't have time to be afraid, they had to hurry because thousands of people were dying every day they left the dragon unattended.
After the reconvened conference, another group of the most powerful people on the continent, called the Heroes Party, was formed. There were many world famous names at the heroes party:
Sword Saint Gustall
High Elf Selmer
Barbarian Tafor
Archmage Kirlia
Duke Westen Ortiz
"
As Westen mentioned Ortiz, everyone looked at Lester before focusing on the story again.
"A long battle took place between the heroes and the dragon. Ahh, if only I could have seen the battle!"
The professor did not hide his excitement and shouted, but the students must have felt the same because no one was angry at the sudden interruption of the story.
The professor looked embarrassed because he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Uhm, uhm," he continued, letting out a dry cough.
"The Heroes party won the war between the Heroes and the dragon that would write the fate of humanity. Although they won, unfortunately only a few people survived."
"Heroes made a great sacrifice. If you can study comfortably in this class, you owe it all to heroes. Heroes fought such a terrible monster to offer us a future."
They were indebted to the people who fought the dragon that destroyed an Empire. Everyone agreed on this.
The students, who could not get over the story, just nodded.
The professor talked about Heroes for a while before ending the lecture.
After class, Lester was sitting on the bench in the Academy's garden, waiting for the next class to start.
"The Red Dragon and the Battle of the Heroes." Lester knew about this incident. There were times when he read Imperial records while playing the game. It was an important event that he was aware of thanks to those records. While the red dragon was in a deep sleep, a dimensional rift pulled him into another world. Wanting to return to his own home, the dragon massacred the people who attacked him and broke the dungeon. Where things started to go wrong was when the dragon couldn't find a way to return home. Wanting to return to his own world, the dragon wanted to get information from the humans, maybe these little creatures knew a way for him to return home. But when his request to speak to the people's rulers was rejected and he saw human armies coming to kill him, he could not control his anger. These poor little creatures not only rejected his generous request for conversation, but also sent their armies against him. What happened next was clear. This dragon, which threatened the entire continent, was stopped by the heroes. However, despite being stopped, the dragon, which single-handedly destroyed several kingdoms and an empire, disrupted the general balance of power in the continent. After Raidon's destruction, the Thonate Empire, the empire we are in, has become the greatest power. In addition, thanks to Lester's grandfather, Westen Ortiz, who made great contributions to the war, the Ortiz family added the title of 'hero' to their many titles.
