Many islands dotted the vast oceans of this world. However, some of the islands were a lot more sinister than the rest. Those islands, known as Nightmare Islands, were true nightmares to all but the strongest and most fortunate. Children were kidnapped and thrown on these isolated islands by the Nightmare Palace, forced to sign soul pacts with evil soul pets: Nightmares.

Although he was somewhat despised for having achieved such while being born to a mixed race, he was still highly favored amongst the common populace. Many bards sang of his heroic tales in various taverns all over the kingdom.

But one day,

“You traitor!”

Allen was banished from the kingdom after being unjustly criticized.

It was a conspiracy by those who were envious of Allen’s achievements and those who discriminated against half-elves.

When she arrived, there were strange people with animal ears and wings.

More precisely, there were beasts of different races.

“Han Young-ul, you have passed. Start working right away.”

“Can’t you just let me go? I am just a normal human being.”

“No. You’re not an ordinary human being. Seeing how you could come here.”

“Han Young-ul is a Clear.”

“Han Young-wool needs to learn to stop us from running out of control through physical contact, with actions such as holding his hand.”

“How can you stop a runaway just by holding hands? It may suffice for him, but that is not enough to satisfy me.”

Dokgo snorted and threw up.

And with neglected hair hanging over half of her face, this small child is actually the forgotten Royal Princess of the Empire.

Unable to stifle her hunger any longer, she crawls out of her hiding within a tiny, old, worn-down castle in search of food...

"I'm hungry..."

The small girl who's wearing nothing but shabby clothes murmured without even realizing.

"Can I eat this...?"

Her small fern-like hand tore a piece of vegetation off of the ground, but she eventually put it down while shaking her head from side to side. The little girl hadn't had a proper meal for three days...

"Estrella..."

The child recited the name, her words one with the wind. It was a precious name that she had earned only after a long time.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

"...It's alright."

The little one who replied then slumped onto Aelias' chest. <<less

Li Jinglong slowly dragged his body riddled with wounds, releasing a resplendent light from his hand as he kept approaching Hong Jun.

“The living… are passing travelers…”

His low voice resounded through the world, and within an instant, the black fog that enveloped the earth receded before the light.

“The dead… return home without turning back.”

That light is the blazing sun that illuminates the world, stars that twinkle in the night sky, an eternal heart lamp that pierces through the darkness.

“The world…is a temporary inn. Since time immemorial, countless people have bewailed their short, bitter lives…”

Li Jinglong closed his eyes and pressed one hand against Hong Jun’s forehead. A white light diffused with a whoosh, covering the battlefield littered with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Within the shadow of that lamp, the debauchery in Pingkang, the parasol trees of the Exorcism Department bathing in the midsummer sun, the sand and swirling snow in the vast expanse beyond the Great Wall, Ah Tai’s clear singing voice, Mo Rigen and Lu Xu picking leaves in the early morning, Qiu Yongsi’s flying brush strokes that transforms into immortal poems in Li Bai’s cup–

A young nobleman of Chang’an strolled through its eastern downtown,

Riding a white horse with a silver saddle as he beamed.

While traversing through Chang’an, flowers kept falling, where on earth is he going?

Smiling, he enters a tavern where a foreign entertainer performs.
