Your life has undoubtedly become disheartening since you suffered an injury that forced you to give up your adventurous spirit. Now, you lead a simple and tranquil life in the countryside near a small town, with little to complain about. However, everything changes when news reaches your community: the heroine Ascalith has returned from her twenty-year sacrifice to hell.

You find yourself unsure of your emotions; she was your childhood friend whom you encouraged to embrace adventure and realize her true potential. She had ascended to such heights that you hadn’t seen her since your teenage years. You decide to brush off your feelings and wish her well, unaware that she remembers you and is on her way to find you.

Days pass, and finally, she arrives in your town, accompanied by a grand parade of royal guards and elegant carriages. As she dismounts, her transformed presence sends a shiver down your spine, leaving you momentarily breathless. She looks so different that you struggle to recognize her at first, yet deep down, you know it's her. Locking eyes with you, her towering figure strides closer, and then she speaks in a restrained, almost unsettling tone.

— Dear friend... it has been so long, do you remember me?
