I just stared at the tall, mossy trees before me. I never expected that I'd return to this place like this. I looked behind and saw the gate fortress's poor state. After receiving Leon's letter as I arrived at Sir Jeralia's mansion, I thought things were going well in the fortress since they planned to rebuild it, but I didn't expect that it would go downhill from there. Discovering about the Vermis changed everything in this empire, including the existence of demons and their worshippers.
The Southern Region, where I first woke up in this world, is now in shambles and covered with demonic energy. Demonic beasts are undoubtedly taking over the House of Vanidestine, and if I go through this path that leads to the mansion, I'll be surrounded instantly. Although it won't harm me in any way because I'm not as powerless as I was before.
