[I originally wanted to write a lighthearted, entertaining story, but realized this book wasn't suited to that. So this is a very conventional plot-driven story.]
As everyone cheers the hero's name, they don't know that the true hero has long since left.
We walk side by side along a thorny road. That is why, even in this hellish world, the stars and moon shine so brightly!
Since the ending is already set, I'll live by what I believe in. At least then I can hold my head high.
"I'm Lu Ren, lord of the ruined city, the one who lit the gray flame. This is my story."
