Nameless King

"Well, looks like I'll be on the way here." Sven looked at the girls in the distance as he took a step back, "I'll wait for you, try not to be too long."

"I can't promise anything, as not being late will be quite difficult." Wain said calmly looking at the departing Sven.

"Sure, I understand." Sven nodded slightly before his silhouette blurred. He appeared next to Osvald and Marlis. They nodded to each other, then disappeared in an unknown direction.

Thus, around the shining tree where dozens of people had just been, only three remained Aurora, Maria, and Zero.

Whooooooooooosh.

After a while, when the girls came to their senses, they quickly hurried to Wain. Zero and Maria did not know how they should have reacted to what had happened, but Aurora immediately sprang into action as she knelt before him.

"My King I am glad your death turned out to be false...." Aurora mumbled with a complicated look as she struggled to adapt to her new situation while a storm of emotions got in her way a lot, but she tried to be as serious as possible.
"Aurora, get up, there's no need for that." Wain said as he waved his hand.

"But... You are the Nameless King, or rather you are our King! I never dared to claim your role! I was merely performing duties as temporary ruler!" Aurora looked at Wain as she exclaimed with a sincere look.

"Well, you just know too little of what happened five hundred years ago. As before I will be the leader of all, it is my duty, but I am the power, even before the great war, the kingdom was not ruled by me." Wain said confidently and looked into the distance as if he remembered something very important.

"What...? You were definitely our ruler, then what are you talking about...?" Aurora's eyes went wide, "Please explain!"

Wain was silent for a while before he said, "Aurora, you probably think you were talking to Wain before, and now you have a Nameless King in front of you, so things are very different, but they are not. I'm still not used to what's happened myself, but I haven't really changed at all. Nameless King and Wain Norheim are not two different people who have occupied this body at different times, they are one person, that's I."

Wain immediately continued, "I achieved my power because I am who I am, as well as I was able to regain my memories because I stayed the way I was. Simply put, if Wain Norheim told you before that he wasn't going to be the ruler of the Human World, Nameless King tells you the same thing."

Aurora didn't know what to say. When Wain refused her, she thought it was because he was inexperienced, and in a pinch, she could use force, but now she was helpless. There was only one right thing to do in such a situation.

"I see your point, in that case, who was running Human World while you were busy with other tasks requiring your incredible strength?" Aurora asked while pressing her palm against her chest.

"Well, unfortunately, I can't tell you that at the moment since that person can't yet take over those duties again and I'm not sure if he will." Wain muttered with a complicated expression as he tilted his head slightly.

"What...? Will Human World be without a ruler then?" Aurora muttered in a worried manner as goosebumps ran down her body.

"Hm? What are you talking about?" Wain looked at her in a confusion, "Human World has a ruler, it's you."

"I...?" Aurora gave him a questioning look.

"Sure. You've been doing quite well these past few years, moreover, when you start working together with Gisle, you'll be able to achieve more success than separately. It will be a golden time for everyone, I'm sure of it." Wain nodded before extending his hand to her.

Aurora, after a brief hesitation, answered and rose to her feet. She looked at Wain and with a serious look asked, "Do you really trust me?"

"Yeah, why not? Your intentions are sincere and you truly only want a better life for humans. The methods of your rule don't bother me, as long as it works well enough then it's acceptable."

"I hear you." Aurora clenched her palms into fists and straightened up, "My King, I will not fail you. From this day forward, I will work even harder and try to cooperate more with Gisle Enge!"

"Fine, that's the answer I was hoping to hear." Wain nodded.

"King, I don't mean to be rude, but what are you going to do now? I mean, it sounds like even after you wake up you have some very important business to attend to." Aurora asked looking intently at Wain.

"You are right, though the Great War ended five hundred years ago, this will not be the last war as there is one last threat left for this world. Only after I've dealt with it can I breathe a sigh of relief and do something else." Wain said slowly as in every word he spoke there was a weight, a strength, and a pain-filled with time with experiences.

"Are you talking about the remaining ruler of the Arkans World?" Aurora looked at him as her eyes went wide. She knew how strong the Nameless King's opponent was during the great war, so she feared for the future.

"Yes. He has certainly not abandoned his purpose, I am sure that all these five hundred years he has been rebuilding and preparing for the final battle. Most likely he would have liked to postpone this event as far away as possible, but it has already begun since I awakened."

Wain nodded slightly as his gaze became deadly serious, "In other words, the last major war in this world will be the second Great War in which the dispute between the Humans and Arkans will finally be settled as well as most conflicts between other races."
