He realized the truth I had spent two long years trying to uncover.
But unlike me, Father didn't despair.
Instead, he grew even more determined ..
more certain that he would eventually find us.
In his heart, he believed he wasn't the only one who had been given a second chance at life.
He believed that fate had distributed chances equally among all our family members.
And so… he pressed forward.
Then, at the moment he fully accepted the reality of the world he lived in ..
"A mission arrived from the system."
A final mission.
One that commanded him to enter the Eastern Nightmare Lands ..
and reach its very end.
"I knew immediately… this task was on a completely different level from anything I'd faced before."
At the time, the Nightmare Lands were ruled by four Nightmare Lords ..
not three, as in my era.
Each one was a monstrous entity whose strength exceeded the SS+ rank.
Not to mention the endless swarms of nightmare creatures that roamed the lands.
