"Is that so? Did you know that in the Kingdom of Polons, they have summoned heroes?" Ryan said, his voice becoming firm and serious, enough to startle Rosseline.
"Su-Summoning Heroes?" Rosseline stared at Ryan with wide eyes, clearly not expecting that.
"Yes," Ryan continued, his tone calm yet heavy. "That small kingdom has summoned heroes. However, it was not without consequences. The summoning caused their economy to collapse, leaving many of its people dissatisfied. Chaos began to spread, and that is why we are going there."
Silence enveloped the room after Ryan revealed their purpose. Rosseline lowered her head, processing the information, while Ellina and Charlotte exchanged glances with calm expressions.
Ryan leaned back against the wall, his eyes gazing far out the window of the flying ship that traversed the skies. This journey was not just a mission, but also an opportunity to prove that Ryan was more than just a spectator in this chaotic world.
Time passed quickly. It had been a week since Ryan left the Kingdom of Dement. During the journey, Ryan often listened to the radio, searching for something that could capture his attention.
However, most of the broadcasts Ryan heard were just ordinary news or discussions that he found unhelpful.
Ryan frequently changed channels, hoping to find something more interesting, until he finally stumbled upon a station that played music Ryan had never heard before.
The music was strange, different, but that was precisely what caught Ryan's attention. He listened intently, and then an idea crossed his mind—what if Ryan created a song and sold it in this world?
However, after contemplating the idea for a while, Ryan realized that it was not a priority. There were far more pressing issues that he needed to focus on.
Even though the main storyline of this novel would not begin for another nine years, Ryan felt that the time he had was limited. There were so many things that needed to be prepared to prevent this world from falling into total chaos.
Ryan had a mysterious illness that needed to be cured within nine years.
If not, Ryan had already decided that, at the very least, he would do what he could—save the people who could help maintain the stability of this world and eliminate the figure believed to bring more chaos in the future.
These missions became Ryan's main focus in facing a seemingly grim fate.
Although Ryan had a Villain System, he was unsure whether it could help him cure the illness he suffered from.
The doubts Ryan had grew larger, but this was the most realistic path he could take. For Ryan, it was better to think realistically than to drown in fantasies that would only end in death and regret.
This pragmatic attitude kept Ryan focused on the problems he could tackle first. If there was an issue that was too big or beyond his reach, he had no hesitation in asking for help.
Ryan knew that saving the world was not a task for one person alone. Therefore, he was not reluctant to collaborate with others, even to utilize them to achieve his goals.
One of the reasons Ryan brought Rosseline along was not just to keep the secret he held safe. Rosseline was a news journalist, and that profession made her very valuable to Ryan.
As a journalist, Rosseline had access to a lot of information and could enter certain places that were difficult for ordinary people to reach. Ryan saw this as an opportunity to utilize Rosseline as a source of information and strategy.
Ryan realized that in this power game, leveraging the talents and skills of others was key. That was why Ryan brought Rosseline along with him.
