[Far East region, Changkong City.]
Inside an ordinary residential building, a boy with a handsome and extraordinary appearance sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the LCD television which was broadcasting the daily news.
[Yesterday, the famous scientist Dr. Mobius's academic paper "The Evolution of Life" was published. Among them, the view on 'immortality' has sparked widespread discussion.]
[Famous musician Miss Eden will start her first world tour concert tomorrow. Many fans said that tickets are hard to get.]
[To save the declining entertainment industry, Destiny Corporation announced its entry into the entertainment circle!]
[Recently, the country of Inazuma announced the lifting of its 648-year-long isolation policy, meaning all countries on Planet Blue are now interconnected. This also opens a new chapter in the joint development of humanity!]
[Breaking news: Penacony, the grand city of festivals, is about to welcome its 100th anniversary. The "Daydream" Hotel will be holding a big promotional event. All tourists are encouraged to grab the deals quickly.]
Van quietly watched the familiar figures appearing on the screen, reaching out as if to touch them, but then dropped his hand and sighed softly.
This was an era of peace, without the smoke of war, where people lived and worked in peace.
But no one knew, there was once an unnamed hero, who went through countless hardships, sacrificing everything he had, to create such a brilliant and flourishing era.
Walking through the long river of history, Van's eyes had witnessed and personally participated in all of it.
In that hopeless world, he had felt lost, he had felt fear, and he had also been redeemed.
He once joined the salvation organization known as MOTH, becoming a fusion warrior who fought and killed for the future of humanity.
He had also stood alongside a certain flat immortal, both known as guardians of Shenzhou, providing protection to one region.
To prolong human civilization, he was forced to clash swords with former friends.
Even though years of battle had nearly shattered his body, as long as the disaster known as Honkai descended, he would appear wherever it was.
Be it the freezing Siberian Plateau, or the giant battleship in the sky, be it the despair-filled Theater of Domination, or the Elysian Realm that symbolized beauty, be it the endless Sea of Quanta, or the Imaginary Tree that veiled the cosmos. All these places bore traces of his battles.
He had defeated [Honkai], annihilated [Heaven's Mandate], upheld [Pioneering]...
Along the way, Van had gained the power, wealth, and fame that people dreamed of...
But correspondingly, he had also lost many things.
Since life is a journey, then there must be an end. To make the world the way they had hoped, to let them live the life they dreamed of, to fulfill the promises he once made to them...
Van chose to sacrifice everything he had, make a wish to the existence called 'Supreme', and restart this broken world.
In his final moments, Van seemed to see that best teacher of his watching him with gentle eyes, no longer speaking.
The man once known as the "world's purest love war god" even tried to crawl up from the grave, just to have one more drink with him...
Sadly, before he could climb out, he was smashed back into the coffin by an overwhelming force.
The three girls who once fought alongside him, although full of reluctance, still gracefully said, "Farewell. May you find a harbor where you can rest."
Thirteen friends from a far distant past even traveled through the long river of time to convey their longing to him.
Finally, the moment Van closed his eyes, he seemed to see that flawless girl looking at him with infinite gentleness, "The hero's curtain call must be grand and magnificent.
Goodbye, my friend. This is a story that exists because of you..."
The journey finally ended.
At the cost of sacrificing all of his power and being erased by the concept of 'existence,' Van paid the price of being forgotten by the world to restart this riddled world.
The unnamed hero who once saved the world disappeared from everyone's memory. No one could remember him anymore.
After the reset, the savior named 'Van' was erased from the world, leaving only a normal human called Van.
After ending his mission as the savior, Van returned to a peaceful daily life.
The him of the past, who worked 007 shifts (24/7) for the world, and had been the savior for who knows how many years, now, in this life, he just wanted to be an ordinary high school student, to enjoy this hard-won peaceful everyday.
Everything seemed peaceful, except...
[Ding. You have a new message. Please check it.]
[Dear tenant, your monthly rent and utility bill is 2524.62. Please pay it by the end of the month.]
Looking at the reminder text on his phone, Van helplessly shook his head.
Who would have thought that someone who once saved the world would one day be troubled by something so trivial?
But this was inevitable, after all, the current him was no longer that savior who carried human civilization on his shoulders.
Now, he was just an ordinary high school student. 'A high school student having a hard life is normal... right? Yeah, my ass!'
At this thought, Van suddenly jumped up from his lazy 'Ge You Slouch' position and started yelling into the empty room, "I bled for humanity! I contributed to humanity! Even if you don't make me rich, at least let me live comfortably for the rest of my life, right?!"
"What?! You still want me to be the savior?! Dream on! Even if I starve to death, die outside, I'll never be the damn savior again!"
"I, Van, in this lifetime, just want to be an ordinary high school student!"
After shouting, Van grabbed the schoolbag on the sofa and left his apartment without looking back.
But what Van didn't know was that shortly after he left, a video suddenly dropped onto every major video site, climbing to the top of the trending chart within just a few minutes.
And with the explosion of that video, Van's peaceful life would never return.
