The first room they entered was about the beginning of the Second War of the Lost.

  Aside from a few paintings and writings, there wasn’t much to see, so they continued listening to Munkan’s explanations.

  "We are in the year 2265.

  Eighty years after the First War, the nations of Eroden and Nagasa had recovered and were living in peace.

  But in the recent years, a third nation, Luvtan, had begun to take shape.

  The other two nations saw this as a threat.

  Why was it founded?

  Did they want war?

  Did they seek world domination?

  …

  From these questions and fears, the first battles arose, which grew more intense and violent over the next ten years.

  And so, out of an unfounded fear of a non-existent threat, the Second War of the Lost began."

  They followed him further.

  A fiery red room lay before them, displaying relics from the early days of Kasaka.

  "Thirteen years later, in the year 2278, our nation was founded.

  Adaia the First, who was still active as a mercenary at the time, was a feared monster on the battlefields of his era.

  But when this monster one day reached the village of Kasaka and experienced the kindness and compassion of its people, his heart softened.

  He decided to abandon his mercenary life and protect this village.

  He quickly gathered powerful allies, and within just six years, he built his own nation where people could live safely, away from the war.

  After four more years, Kasaka became one of the most powerful countries in the world, where merely the mention of Adaia’s name was enough to deter enemies.

  In ten years, a simple village had transformed into an empire—one that has now existed for eighty-six years."

  They paused for a moment in the room, gazing in awe at the paintings of Adaia the First, who raged over his enemies like a dragon.

  Shortly after, they moved on to a completely white, almost empty room.

  Except for a few yellowed pages, there was nothing else.

  "Now, I will tell you about the origins of the one who ended the Second War of the Lost.

  The origins of the Martial God."
