"I thought the Enchanted Forest would be so far away, but I've never thought it's just concealed nearby the World Tree..." Genzo thought to himself while expressing somewhat disappointing face.

He stands in front of the entrance of Enchanted Forest, emitting pure natural mana around, trees growing abnormally and also the plants.

"I can't really say if this is a normal forest, but it's called Enchanted for a reason. But where can I find the Elven Kingdom from here?" He murmured to himself while in the middle of nowhere at Enchanted Forest.

Genzo ponders, "According to Elder Miyunde, The Elves are prideful beings because of their beauty and profession in Magic also knowledge about Mana. But they are also highly valuable among Slave Traders, but those are Humans. That's where Elves began to despise Humans after kidnapping Elves when they invaded one of the Enchanted Forest and sold to be enslaved in every Human Kingdoms. Because of it, they view every Humans as threat and would kill them on the spot without a single word. So, that means, they are also multiple Elven Kingdoms living in the Enchanted Forests, though I don't know if they were wiped out because of the fight against... Was it Amopholis? Amelipo– nevermind."

Genzo discovered a river glowing, he sensed an astonishing amount of mana flowing through it. "Oh, great timing, I'm getting kinda thirsty thinking here." He said in relief.

He sipped the water on the river and suddenly when he lifts his head, he coincidentally found the Elven Kingdom just in front of him. A very ginormous wall being entangled by the roots and plants, while a little cracks appears from it with plants growing out.

"Hmm, didn't think it was here all along." He approaches closer to the wall while there's someone sneaking on top of the tree branches above him.

An arrow suddenly hit Genzo's head yet didn't damage him. He grabbed the arrow, "Huh? An arrow?" He questioned.

When he looked behind him, a rain of arrows suddenly descended to him, though he did not dodge any of it—he's well aware it won't hurt him. He saw something moving at the top of the tree and throws the arrow with brute force.

The arrow moved at the speed of light, they did not notice it and hit one of them penetrated through the shoulder. The injured Elf fell into the ground, unable to move. Genzo asks, "Are you alright?" While standing beside him.

The other Elf descends and swings her sword to cut Genzo's head, but a direct hit didn't damage him at all. "Yerma– Paleu nabi muopi baminatitigadi!" (What the– It felt like I'm cutting titanium!) She shouted.

Then, she proceed to attack with a powerful kick, but Genzo catches her leg, "Yeet!" Genzo shouted and threw her back into the Kingdom behind the wall.

A fire ball hit Genzo behind, still did no damage. Someone shouted, "Hemi yugure am pi! Heret bumane veri?" (Nothing works on him! What do we do?)

While they are discussing, Genzo used his natural sense to analyzed the whole area, "Hmm, 6 Elves and 1 that I threw at the other side of the wall. There's someone stalking at the distance but I already knew who. Well then, let's end this without causing much bigger troubles." He pondered.

Genzo grabbed a stick he found beside him and swing it like a sword, with only using the wind, all the Elves are knocked away unconscious. "Oh, that was quite easy." Genzo said.

Later, Genzo finished tying them with a rope tied to the tree. "Now that annoyances have been dealt with, time to move forward." He reassured.

Genzo walked around while his surroundings are moving way too slowly to find the entrance at the left, though the Kingdom is huge that it may take a while for him.

"Kingdoms really are huge, I've been walking for a while now yet I haven't found the entrance yet."

Though for some reason, he found a Elf Merchant going to the entrance, "An opportunity!" Genzo thought.

He sneaked right inside the Wagon and hid himself among the Barrels. The Elf Merchant showed his permit to the guards and entered the Kingdom. After a while, the Wagon stopped. "I don't know if it's ready to get out yet... Never mind, I'll just sneak through them without being noticed." Genzo pondered.

Everything went very slow as he walks pass them and entered to the window from a certain house to hide himself. As everything became normal, the wind force from Genzo however, made them collapse to the ground, confused at what just happened.

"This is very unnecessary when I can just bust in and destroy everything who attacks me, though I need more knowledge about them without hurting them." Genzo thinks while sitting beside the window. The inside is very dark, very quiet that he assumed there's no one inside the house.

When he took a step, a sudden knife is on his neck, almost hitting him. The woman beside him asked intimidatingly, "Iste mapoke hare?" (Who are you?)

"Uhh, what?" Genzo confusingly asked.

"Ishi no iste mapoke hare?" (I said who are you?)

"Sorry lady but I couldn't understand you at all."

"Estimo mahuhar niguvaki–" (I'm going to report you to the–)

Genzo hit the back of her neck gently enough to knock her asleep without any harm. She collapses into his arms and put her down the floor. "Now it got quiet." He relieved.

He checks the window to see if there are no Elves around outside which resulted to be clear enough to get out of the house. He swiftly gets out of the window and ran towards the clothing shop 48 meters away. As he's running, a elf guy accidentally bumped to Genzo, "Uh Moverayu." (Oh sorry) Though as the elf raised his head, he realized that Genzo is a human, so he shouted, "A human!"

This alerted everyone in the neighborhood and the Guards suddenly rushed to Genzo and caught him. "What a bad luck." His thought with a disappointing face.

He got locked up into prison, the guards rudely said, "How disgusting that a rat has entered the Kingdom." And the other one spit at Genzo's foot.

"Fucker!" Genzo's thought. He closed his palm and exploded the Guard's head, this made the Guards view Genzo as a threat and tried to execute him inside his cell, but the Guard's spear shattered the moment it landed into Genzo's shoulder. Because of it, the Guard called for reinforcements and surrounded him with their spears.

"Okay, I'm done with this shit." He asserted. His gaze alone made the gravity 1000x heavier, enough to crush a human being within a 100 meter radius, all the Elves around couldn't take such heavy force for a second, they collapsed instantly to the ground and the buildings were crushed.

Genzo stopped and walked out like nothing happened.

"Why aren't they using magic? Was the old man wrong about them being expert at magic?" His thoughts.

In the Royal Elven Castle, the guards quickly rushed in the Hall without hesitation to submit report, "Ray, Memba ukopiula me wasderu babuemi!" (Sir, I have an important incident to report!) He shouted.

An intimidating Elf, sitting on the throne, "Theorador Medimui" The King of Elves at the Age of 935. Permitted the guard, "Iko." (Speak.)

(Translate into English)

"A heavy gravity suddenly occurred at the Villmefrey District, causing everyone to be in severe injuries and some were killed, also the buildings were destroyed. The reason is unknown sir, but a certain guards claimed that a human who infiltrated the Kingdom did this."

"A human!?" Theorador shouted. Due to his sheer anger to humankind, he emitted such killing intent that could make a normal person unconscious.

"Sir, please calm down! We're trying to catch the culprit and execute him immediately."

"No, I'll kill that rat myself! I can't let anyone be killed by that rat, not again!"

All of the sudden, the door exploded. "Hey, are you the King?" The unknown man behind the smoke asked.

"Who dare trespass the house of the King!?" The guard shouted.

Though, Theorador behind, is being overly cautious about the intruder.

"Just a nobody who likes to adventure around an unfamiliar place." Genzo appeared among the smoke as it vanish.

Genzo just took a step and a large unique magic circle appeared below him.

"Ignite and obliterate." Theorador casts.

Genzo smiled as if he was testing Theorador. But, Genzo did not expect thousands of swords summoned to stab him and a powerful flare coming below him.

Theorador thought the battle's over until Genzo mutters, "It's always this kind of magic... I'm getting sick of this, show me a different magic." He disrupts the magic and vanished.

Theorador is shocked, "Impossible! Not even the Sin of Envy was able to withstand that!"

"I absolutely can't understand what he's saying, is this Elven Language? Oh, I remember Athena giving me some sort of a blessing that can help me communicate in every language of Uthomia." Genzo pondered.

When Genzo opened his eyes, Theorador already charged in front of him with a Holy Sword, at the moment, Genzo instantly catches the blade close to stabbing his eye. Theorador then casts thousands of blades above Genzo. "Illfir!" He shouted.

Theorador backs away as the blades falls upon Genzo. Exhausted, he breathes heavily to regenerate his mana, although as the smoke goes off, Genzo still appears unscratched.

"Where did this monster came from? He's definitely different compared when I faced the Sin of Envy!" Theorador's thoughts.

"Exhausted already? That barely made any damage in this palace of yours. I guess it's my turn now." Genzo announced.

"Not good! I must deploy a barrier!" Theorador's thoughts. He reacted quickly and summoned a barrier before Genzo lands an attack on him. Genzo charged towards him though Theorador thought he would land a punch, but kicked the barrier instead and charged an unusual magic.

"Pew!" The tip of Genzo's finger shots a laser, penetrating through Theorador's body, making him spit blood on the floor while confused.

"Wha– What just happened? I was sure I deployed a barrier..." Theorador murmured.

"I don't know why but I think your skills withered as you grew older." Genzo claimed.

"That's not possible as Elves grow stronger the older they are! You, just what are you?!"

"Hmm, just a traveler from another world I guess."

"That's ridicu–" Theorador suddenly fell unconscious as they were currently conversing.

"Bruh, he suddenly collapsed. That's disappointing, I was about to ask some questions. I'll return once he's recovered." Genzo leaves the scene, leaving Theorador on the ground.

After some time has passed, Theorador wakes up on his bed while his servants are waiting for him to wake up. As soon as they saw Theorador awake, they immediately informed the doctors that he's awake.

"What just happened?" Theorador asked.

"Finally, you're awake." Someone said outside the window.

"Who's there?" Theorador cautiously asked.

"You've just been asleep for an hour and you already forgot me?" Genzo opened the window and gets inside.

"You bastard, what did you do?" Theorador stands up, immediately grabbed the sword.

"Nothing, you just collapsed after talking to me."

The doctors quickly rushed in the room, asking, "Your majesty! Are you alright?!"

"There's an intruder here–" Theorador looked away and Genzo suddenly disappeared as if he was never there to begin with. "He fucking disappeared!" He muttered.

Theorador looked outside the window, only to see Genzo running from the ground. As he is about to order the guards to catch him, he saw a letter.

"I wrote this letter while talking to you. Can you please stop attacking me whenever we meet? I just want to talk about your history and that's it, if you want something, I can do that via the favor of the Goddess, she can't refuse to my request anyway. If you decided to talk to me, just say I agree and I'll hear it even if I'm not there. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" The letter said.

Theorador gave himself some time to think about it.

On the other hand, Genzo hid himself behind the castle. "In the end, I didn't get any information from him as he is always wary of me." He sighed then fused within the shadows.

The night has passed, Theorador finally agreed to the letter Genzo sent. He patiently waited for him in his room, drinking tea on the table.

Then, Genzo appears among the shadows. "Finally, I thought you'd never agree." He said.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Theorador asked.

Genzo sat on the other side of the table, and said, "I want to know about what happened during the Demon Invasion."

"And what do I get in return?"

"Uhh, you can request anything you want, except human extinction of course."

"I can already guess that Elves do despise humans, am I correct?"

"Yes, the old man told me about it. I knew why you were being too wary of me when we met, well, I did blow away your door like that. But be honest with me, what really happened during those times?"

Theorador sighs and decided to tell him the truth.

"When we were preparing for an incoming invasion, we did not expect the Demon King himself to arrive including The Sin of Envy Meiquylli. Although as I thought he bothered himself into coming here because Elves are known to be geniuses in magic, he did nothing at all other than watching Meiquylli destroying the Kingdom all by himself. I expected them to plan an ambush if I move, but while I was fighting Meiquylli, he did not take action, he just watches in the distance as if Elves are not a threat to him at all. Because of my overthinking, I was caught off-guard by Meiquylli's dirty tricks and was defeated. I often ask to myself, "Was any of these are worth protecting for? What am I doing for hundreds of years? What could have happened if the Great Mage didn't leave the Kingdom?" Yet a Hero who arrived from nowhere answered that questions, with his courageous eyes of someone who would never give up no matter the circumstances. Pointing his holy sword against the wrong path and regrets, I was wary of him at first but when he asked me, "Are you really worthy of the title as the King? Giving up so easily like it's impossible to win against evil? If you're a righteous King, you should fight against evil that threatens your lands, not until your last breath." It sounds silly but that boasted my morale to fight against the Demon King even when I'm panting to death. As we're getting the upper hand against Meiquylli, the Demon King unexpectedly decided to interfere, we were no match to him at all and with a single attack, every confidence we had been erased, standing while severely injured against one attack from him. Just as I expected what would happen but then the Hero had said something that made me realize, "People die when they are killed, and I use this sword to protect those who are needed to be protected. Even if you're powerful, that doesn't mean you're invinsible!" He pointed his sword against the Demon King. And that made me realize, is he an idiot or something? He just spouted nonsense, I just think the attack critically injured his head to the point he became dumb for a moment. Thanks to the Goddess helping by bringing reinforcements, the other heroes, the Demon King backed away after injuring the Goddess, I don't know what happened but we just take that victory and rebuilt the Kingdom. Not until a huge impact almost destroyed the Kingdom and the World Tree, the Kingdom should've been impossible to be rebuilt if not for the mysterious beam that shot above the World Tree. The rest are known by everyone, I'm guessing you already know about it from someone else."

"Wow... That history was... Predictable... Like, I expected something different but it's way too predictable that I'm not even surprised." Genzo responded.

"Well, that's all that has happened during the invasion. Do you have any more questions?"

"Yeah so, do you know about the whereabouts of the Dragons, the known Strongest Race in Uthomia?"

"Those cowards? They claim to be the strongest but I doubt even our Great Mage can just defeat them with a flick of her finger. None of the people of this world knew their whereabouts as no one have seen them escaping it anything."

"Oh, that's a disappointing answer. But you've mentioned about this "Great Mage" so many times now, is she something special or something?"

"She is the first genius among the Elves that has lived longer than everyone in this Kingdom, she is almost immortal with that kind of age of hers. She is also known for having Ancient Magic that was forgotten in this Era, a very disastrous magic that can rival the Demon King himself. Yet she did not even bother fighting the Demon Lord and lived the life whatever she wants without a care in the world somewhere we don't know. We Elves respect her, but a little too much to the point where she became spoiled. But her unlimited potential is the pride of all Elves, we would've suffered in status if not for her."

"Huh, so she's that powerful eh? I wonder how powerful are those spells if we fight."

"Never knew you're a battle maniac..." Theorador murmured.

"What? What was that?"

"Nothing."

"Huh, I swear I heard something."

"Almost forgot, the request you promised. I want a Sword of Life, a sword that was forged by the branch of the World Tree, the last creation of the Legendary Blacksmith "Mullark" and the sword used by the Ancient Hero who first defeated the Demon King."

"That seemed omnipotent. Let me request that from the Goddess." Genzo snapped his fingers and disappeared out of thin air.

At the mere second he disappeared, he quickly returned with a sword imbued by powerful aura.

"I... I could not believe my eyes! It's really the Sword of Life that was forgotten for thousands of years! To think the Goddess kept this all the time...!"

As Theorador was about to reach for the sword, Genzo backed away and asks, "Hold on a second, can I ask a question for the last time?"

"I know you're gonna ask about the Ancient Hero that existed in the Ancient Era. Although I did know about the existence of this sword, I did not know all about the Story of the Ancient Hero. But the Great Mage do know about it since she's his closest friend that time."

"Okay fine, I guess I'm going to search for that Great Mage to ask for more details." Genzo tossed the Sword of Life to Theorador.

Theorador catches the Sword, when he looked up, Genzo has already left the Castle. "Well, I guess he's going to embark a journey to search for that Great Mage. With his abilities, I doubt he'll find her."

As the moon shines through the ground, Theorador stares at it and remembered something nostalgic that made him smile.

"Are you sure you won't tell him about how you're the former comrade of the Ancient Hero?" Maria asked after rising up from their bed.

Maria Medimui, Age 893 (The Great Elven Beuty)

"He'll eventually know once he meets her. You know how I missed that courageous smile of his that shows what real Heroes are. Never giving up on saving people no matter what Race they are, he'll save them until death. He is more heroic than the outsiders the Goddess sent."

Meanwhile Genzo, flying into the sky, searching for a suspicious house even amidst the darkness while the Moonlight glows.

"Since everyone don't know about the whereabouts of the Great Mage, though Athena may know about it but I'll go through an adventure for a while until I found that Great Mage." Genzo pondered.

Genzo lands on the ground, standing seemingly waiting for someone. "I know you're there, you can come out now."

An unknown person reveals itself among the shadows behind the tree, revealing it was the Elf from before. "Si- Since when did you notice I've been tailing you around?!"

"I may have not noticed you for the first time but I can sense your presence now, it's uncomfortable to have someone tail me forever."

The Elf approached Genzo in excitement and said, "But you were so cool back when you single handedly fought the King of Elves himself! He was the Legendary Elf that no one can ever fight with!"

"Oh... He was? I- I did not know. But I guess I'm a little too strong for him I guess?" Genzo trying to lie to avoid unecessary attention.

"Please teach me how to become stronger, sensei!" The Elf looking at Genzo with excitement and determination.

"This is getting troublesome, what am I supposed to teach to this kid?" Genzo's thoughts. He sighed and said, "Ok fine, but we've been talking for a while and I still don't know you are."

"Oh, I forgot! I'm Ramelin Gargeumateo! I'm around 500 years old."

"Huh, so Elves normally live that really long?"

"Well, elves lives for a couple thousands of years! Even some exceptional geniuses lives more than a thousand!"

"Interesting... I'm Genzo, just a normal adventurer who doesn't have anything special."

"But you just said you were an adventurer from another world though?"

"Oh that? That was just a lie, just a method to struck fear into him."

"Woah!" Ramelin looked at Genzo in admiration.

Genzo is getting uncomfortable by her vibe and told her, "Enough with that, let's go find the Great Mage, if you want to come, you can come."

"Woah! The Great Mage?! You're going to search for the Great Mage, the strongest Elf in the world?!"

"She's getting a little more annoying the longer we converse, I remember the first time we met, she was super cautious and not that talkative unlike now." Genzo's thoughts.

They both walk away while Ramelin annoys Genzo along the way.

Meanwhile at the edge of the Universe.

The Gods that resembled the Greek and Norse Gods being created inside a container, currently almost complete progress.

"I did not realize those useless old fools would be that useful, I shouldn't have killed them when they were alive." The King of Gods said while checking on the Replicated Gods inside the containers. He stops at Zeus who is being specially created with a unique container compared to the others. "But, I can create their replicas even more powerful, even beyond those bunch of failures, the Supreme Gods, especially this one who was defined the King, but he is not worthy of that title other than me, but I'll give him something special that will make him powerful. Just you wait, Genzo."

The King of Gods laughs in a villainous manner.
