The terrifying creatures of the Valley of Solitude, the Dwarf Giants, only feed on human screams and wander around perpetually hungry. Their large ears can hear from far away, and their grim smiles could be the last thing you see. Who could have stopped these creatures that roamed the desert after the "Unseasonable Wars"? Who could have heard the lost screams?

Of course, the Brave Hero Hayrayor! The only brave man who survived alone in the Valley of Solitude for 76 days! The giants first attacked him suddenly. The brave man sliced them up with his giant sword, "RHINODONN." There were no sweet things like elven breads in the desert. The brave hero made a house out of his giant sword, made soup with cactus rock water, and soothed his hunger with sand pudding. He started fires by rubbing together the teeth he extracted from the giants to keep warm.

Then, the Dwarf Giants secretly tried to crush the hero, but the brave hero turned their plans against them with his giant sword. The massive giants had to flee, clutching their backs. They tried to destroy him by throwing cactus rocks from a distance, but Brave Hayrayor sent each incoming rock back with his legendary sword, defeating the giants!

The cries of the Dwarf Giants echoed in the desert for days, and at the end of the 76 days, not a single Dwarf Giant remained!

That's the brave hero! That's the valiant man!

"Brave Hero Hayrayor's Amazing Shop" is right before you. Here, you can find various items collected from his adventures, legendary weapons and armor, magical books, and potions! We even accept remote orders via Fersah bird. All you need to do is blow the "Fersah Bird Whistle" lightly!

"Brave Hero Hayrayor's Amazing Shop, the number one shop for adventurers!"

Matt had gotten used to the holograms, but it was strange for him to watch a moving and talking scroll like a television. But that wasn't the most surprising thing...

Hayrayor: "HAHA! HOW DID YOU LIKE MY COMMERCIAL, KID? PRETTY GOOD, RIGHT?"

Startled, Matt looked at the trembling ground, the distant sound of footsteps, the towering hero with the giant sword in front of him, and the majestic Fersah bird behind him.

"Wh-what's happening? Wh-who are you? Wh-what's going on outside?"

Hayrayor: "I wouldn't know; you tell us, kid! First, you call us! Then we find out that you've summoned disaster before us! They'll be here any moment! We can't waste any time, kid!"

Pointing at the scroll, Matt hurriedly asked: "Then why did you make me watch this? Who's coming? Sa-save me! Wait, I didn't summon you!"

When Matt blew the "Fersah Bird Whistle" in the Gorgucek cave, he unknowingly summoned them. You never know when the items from the tasos might come in handy.

Hayrayor: "If you didn't call us, then we'll just leave, kid! Fersah, let's go!" He headed down the large hole he had come through, with the bird following him in all its splendor. Matt had never seen such a majestic bird before.

Even though he had a hobby of bird photography, he had never seen such a large and crimson-colored bird in any catalog. It looked as if each feather was made of a knife—extremely straight and sharp. It gave Matt a piercing glance before disappearing from sight. Once again, Matt was left alone.

"He-Hey! Wait!"

The ground's trembling intensified, and mechanical sounds began emanating from within the ship. Some metal parts dislodged and fused with other places, as if a broken puzzle was reverting to its original state; the entire ship was in motion.

More importantly, the ship was turning upside down.

Terrified, Matt tried to hold on to something in the rotating ship, shouting: "Wait! Please help me! Yes, I summoned you! Don't leave! I'll pay you!"

The giant Hayrayor, with his even more giant sword, had already descended from the ship and was thinking of a new song for his next commercial. He heard a melody rising from inside the ship:

"Come as rain come,

Come as wind come,

Let the clouds be your companions,

Let the hero be your friends,

Hold onto the giant sword and come."

The Giant Robot Ship "Iron Tree" now truly resembled a giant robot. Structures extending from both sides, which looked like massive arms from a distance, rose into the air and stretched out as if doing a warm-up exercise. The parts that had sunk into the ground ripped through the earth with a tremendous noise, and the ship began to rise higher and higher. Various creatures of the forest scattered in all directions, watching this enormous metal behemoth from a safe distance with curious eyes.

Because the ship was turning upside down, the place Matt thought was the command center was actually a hidden compartment just above the exhaust system of the robot ship. They had trapped the horn that awakened the Lost Army there to keep it from being found.

Matt managed to find the horn and inadvertently awakened the Lost Army by cooking food inside the horn. Even the hologram seemed surprised, struggling to find information on this old, forgotten mission, with some glitches and static before finally opening.

Matt: "De-destroyed? Wait, did it say all participants? Ah! Hold on tight, Matt!"

The giant tree robot stood tall and imposing. The head of the tree robot was designed quite stylishly. The Metal Dwarves, who didn't like real trees and were constantly on the move, had built a giant walking ship for themselves. The ship's deck was constructed on the shoulders of the robot, beneath the branches of the giant tree. The Metal Dwarves' greatest motivation was to find new minerals in the most dangerous areas. In their last expedition, they dug into a place they shouldn't have and found something they shouldn't have found. That was the last thing they did before mysteriously disappearing. Of course, all of this happened at least 700 years ago.

As Matt read the hologram, he clung tightly to the metal framework, trying not to fall in the now-inverted room. The singing helmet's earlier tune hadn't calmed his worries at all.

"What kind of game is this?! I just want to go back to my boring job!"

Moreover, he hadn't had a chance to shrink the vending machine. It slid from side to side and finally decided to fall out of the large hole.

"NOOOOO!!!" Matt didn't know what to do at that moment. "If the vending machine is gone, how will I survive?!"

His grip almost slipped. "Activate tight grip feature!!" "Ahh, if I fall from here, I'm done for! The place is full of sharp, rusty metal, and I'm way too high up!"

Deep thought activated, Matt came up with an idea. "I have increased durability against falls. If I combine this with my Dive Attack, won't I land with minimal damage?"

As the robot began to shake off the soil, causing Matt to sway back and forth, the large hole in the now-inverted room seemed a perfect escape route.

Hoping not to land on the broken metal pipes and sharp, rusty metal plates on the ceiling—now the floor—of the inverted room, Matt braced himself and shouted, "Here goes! Dive Attack!!" (Matt didn't need to shout to use his special attack. Just thinking about it would suffice... but Matt didn't know that.)

Matt's tactic worked. By combining the attack with a passive ability, he landed with almost no damage.

Except for the fact that one of the large, broken metal pipes pierced his foot.

"AAAAARGHHH!" Writhing in pain, Matt helplessly looked at his foot and vomited.

Matt had a tendency to feel faint whenever he saw his own blood, a trait he hated. Once, while pretending to be a truck, he accidentally crashed both hands through a glass door. His mother had rushed him to the hospital, gripping his bleeding wrists in terror. The sight of her pale, scared face had stuck with Matt so firmly that whenever he saw blood, he felt like he was dying, his blood pressure dropped, and he would vomit.

Once, he had tried to reassure himself by saying, "It's completely psychological," in front of a beautiful nurse, hoping not to faint. Of course, it didn't work.

With much more serious reasons now not to faint and die in the dusty, rusty metal-filled robot, Matt, as soon as he finished vomiting, pulled his foot out of the metal pipe with all his strength.

"AAARRRGHH!" The second scream brought a much more sincere and poignant sense of worry: "What do I do now?! I need to stop the bleeding! I-I mustn't faint!"

From far away, the voice of the Brave Hero was clear and loud: "HEY, KID! WATCH OUT! I'M SAVING YOU!"

Matt: "Watch out for wha-"—THUD!!! The giant sword, thrown with great force, slammed into Matt, pinning him against one of the robot's mechanical components.

Hayrayor's rhinoceros sword is considerably thick and massive compared to other swords. He would even drive it into cliffsides and sleep on it, using it as a camp.

“The RHINODONN “sword is so thick that it doesn't cut normal-sized beings but crushes them. To Matt, the impact felt more like being hit by a rhino than a sword—possibly influenced by the scroll commercial's description.

In the robot's interior, it now looked like Hayrayor had set up camp, with the giant

sword embedded in the wall, Matt lying atop it.

Hero: "HOLD ONTO THE SWORD!" he said. Matt then noticed a steel cable tied to the hilt and clung to it with all his might, as if clinging to a giant surfboard.

With a few teeth and ribs broken from the impact, Matt could only manage, "A-activate g-grip feature." It didn't matter much since just thinking about it would activate the feature.

With his "Forty Arms Throwing Cannonball" active skill, the Brave Hero Hayrayor quickly pulled the cable. The sword and Matt were yanked out of the robot, soaring into the sky. On the verge of passing out from the pain but holding on tight thanks to the grip feature, Matt muttered internally, "Please let this game end! I swear I won't be late for work again! Ah, it hurts so much!"

Before the sword could land, the giant Fersah bird caught Matt in its talons and safely brought him down. The Brave Hero lifted Matt onto his shoulder. "Let's get out of here, Fersah!" he said. As they left the scene, the voice of the Lost Army drew closer, and the giant ship eagerly awaited its owners.

The head of the ship, which we called the tree robot, opened its mouth and emitted a sound loud enough to be heard across the entire forest, especially by the Monster King, who lay in his tomb in the frozen Hushuu Graveyard far, far away:

"Kazuno Koba Rath! Kazuno Koba Rath! Kazuno Kobarath!"

The king's heartbeat caused the frozen rocks and soil in the graveyard to crack.

"At last..."

Matt had no clue how to play the Healer class. He tried to heal himself, muttering something like "little healing aid" or similar. While being jostled on Hayrayor's shoulder, he could only manage, "Little healing aid."

Each time, he felt a tingling in his fingers and a flash of light resembling pistachio green, and Matt felt a bit better.

He kept doing this until he exhausted all his stamina. Even after his stamina ran out, he continued.

The Monks of the White Mountains that take ten years to climb, used the same method to train by pushing their limits. They would exhaust their stamina and then practice with full concentration, thereby strengthening their abilities.

Matt's only concern was to survive.

Thanks to the healing effect, the wound on his foot had closed, but it looked like it would leave a scar. "The wound hit a nerve. It's definitely going to ache from time to time," he guessed while dozing off on the Brave Hero's shoulders.

Matt felt a light, almost caressing breeze on his face. He listened peacefully to the refreshing, pleasant hum of the wind without opening his eyes.

"GRUARGH! Bon appétit!"

Matt felt a heavy, almost like a cannonball, strong odor right under his nose and a gust of wind hitting his face like a slap, so he opened his eyes. The giant hero and the bird had made a fire and were eating. Seeing Matt wake up, the hero said, "OOH, you're finally awake, kid! Are you hungry?" and after a pause, added:

"You're pretty late! We've already finished our meal!"

Slowly straightening up as if he had been beaten, Matt said, "Th-thank you for saving me, Mr. Hay-rayor."

"No need to thank us! We always stand by the innocent, kid! When you said you didn't call us, I was going to leave, but I really liked the song you sang. I want to add it to my commercial. Haha!"

"Y-yes, o-of course! My helmet sings songs sometimes. This feature has always gotten me into trouble, but I'm glad it worked out this time! So, wh-where are we now?"

The Brave Hero smiled at Matt and Fersah the bird spread its wings, trying to dispel the mist around them. After the mist cleared, Matt felt the familiar sensation of metal under his feet and looked around to realize where they had set up camp.

"We-we're standing on the sword!!"

Hayrayor laughed, "HAHAHA! The safest place is the one you know, kid!"

Matt fully realized that they were precariously hanging in the air, embedded in the cliff face. One of the rare features that set the “RHINODONN” Sword apart from other swords was its ability to grow according to its owner's will. Although it was now called "RHINODONN" it was originally forged for the titan troll ZABAHA GADDAR. Its original name was "Geramortzuu Karnahbar." Some swords can have both a name and a surname.

The sword was now wide enough for four people to sleep side by side. Matt, terrified, spread his arms out to the sides and leaned his back against the cliff wall. "What if I'd rolled over while sleeping! I-I move a lot in my sleep! Oh! I always dream of falling off a cliff! Pl-please, let's get out of here!"

Fersah the bird approached to calm Matt down. Matt, thinking this stern-looking bird would eat him, exclaimed, "Ah! Please don't eat me!"

Hayrayor laughed heartily, "HAHHAH! You're a funny one, kid!" With each laugh, the sword they stood on wobbled slightly. "Brother Fersah is harmless unless provoked, hah!"

Not wanting the hero to laugh more, Matt stammered, "Al-alright! I'm calm." Matt had a fear of heights. For example, he couldn't look up while leaning over a balcony.

"Guuur," his stomach growled, and he asked, "Uh, is there anything else to eat?"

Hayrayor replied, "Hah! Of course! Would you like me to give you a special token, kid?"

Matt: Huh?
