Sako led Team E-D-W back to the Lovaria mines. But this time, four figures awaited them—the surviving members of Edward's father's old adventuring squad, Team Red Giant:
Zunin: Dark Elf Sniper (Defense) Zevenia: Demon Caster (Attack) Sako: Angel Harbringer (Support & Captain) Kerbos: Dragonoid Sniper (Attack, like Winston)
They revealed the truth:
Edward's parents, Jurado and Merada, weren't just adventurers—they were part of a legendary team that secretly completed 50,000 quests, hiding their count to avoid attention. In the final dungeon—Kroto Echo Town—they found ancient artifacts: Three Tri-Tech Pyramids.
Each pyramid held preserved stories in glowing imagery:
"Let all beings awaken in Questoria — the realm of endless trials."
The Creator restructured reality out of boredom. The Destroyer removed godhood. All beings became equal.
To ascend: clear 100 million quests, gain 1 million skills, and become Transcended.
A new tradition began—search for the reincarnated Protector, Creator, and Destroyer.
Team Red Giant confirmed Edward's parents were killed because of their link to this prophecy. One pyramid remained hidden in the ruins of their home.

Edward concealed his true role—Protector reborn—due to a past vow. The others stood with him:

David: "Wizard—ready."
Edward: "Card Master... concealed."
💀 Elsewhere: Skullface Stirs
In the Dark Void, an ominous captain watched Questoria's skies.
"Someone triggered the Protector Pyramid," Skullface whispered.
"Find them before they ascend."
He wasn't alone. An ancient old man nearby activated a passive gift:
Skill: Eternity – Grants eternal youth and time immunity across Questoria.
"The time has come," the man said. "We must guide the Protector… and slay the true evil."
Back in Lovaria, Edward whispered to Sako:
"What now?"
She smiled.
"Rest, hero. Tomorrow, your journey continues with the Dig Trial."
