The silver shadow grew clearer and clearer.

What seemed to be numerous voices were combined into a single distinct voice.

Eunho’s descendant revealed her true self and asked.

“Eunho-nim would’ve told you what happened at that time. Why did you guess who I am without a doubt?”

Does she know that Eunho told me what happened?

It’s impossible to know if Eunho had told me everything, but I heard a rough story from when he and Jeokho fought.

Eunho had a prophecy that the child of the head of the Tiger Clan would become a warrior to protect their land.

Thinking that the enemy of the Tiger Clan would target this child, Eunho hid her from the Tiger Clan.

It’s said that the only person Eunho shared the secret with was a human shaman who received the same prophecy.

And the shaman betrayed Eunho, harmed his descendant, and died during childbirth.

After she was born, Eunho’s descendant couldn’t use her chi, what’s now known as energy waves, and her body was also unique.

‘The reason why she gave birth without killing the descendant is to prevent another child from being born into the fate of a guardian.’

One life can’t completely stop heaven’s will.

The descendant was born helpless without the power to fight, but she was born with “something else.”

After Eunho found out that there was something unique about his descendant’s body, he had another prophecy.

His close friends, including Baekho, would die protecting his descendant.

Hwang Jiho and Eunho had this conversation.

— …No matter what prophecy your descendant was born with, I would’ve protected her.

— Yes, I think you would’ve protected my child, Hwangho-nim. My child would’ve survived. As long as you’re alive, that is.

The heroes of the Tiger Clan would die defending a descendant who cannot even fight.

But after all of them die, who will be left to protect his descendant?

In the end, Eunho entrusted Ok Toyeon with his descendant to protect both his friends and his daughter, going against the will of the heavens.

Eunho refused to recognize his descendant as his own child, lost the power to see the will of heaven, and fell into a deep sleep after several big battles.

After hearing this chronology, some things got on my mind.

‘Why did a new prophecy come out that the mythical tigers would die protecting her?’

It would be intuitive to think that the reason is that enemies would aim for Eunho’s child.

But then, the question is still why.

If they just needed a hostage to threaten the Tiger Clan, it would’ve been more efficient to target Eunho.

It was strange to risk one’s life to catch a powerful descendant of the mythical Tiger Clan.

No matter how hard I thought about it, I come to one conclusion.

‘Eunho’s descendant must’ve been born with the destiny to protect the Korean Peninsula.’

Eunho couldn’t have known that I noticed.

With his own hands, he erased the existence of a guardian who would protect Korea.

“I’ve been thinking hard about the second prophecy after you were born.”

I briefly summarized my thoughts, and the silver shadow nodded as she smiled.

My guess seemed to be all correct.

“My mother took the strength of a warrior from me, and my father denied me as his daughter. So I couldn’t be a child nor a warrior of the Tiger Clan.”

“…”

“But I still had the destiny and power to defend this land.”

The silver shadow calmly told a breathtaking story.

In the myths, there are a lot of parents who are depicted to be cold-hearted to their children, but experiencing it must be hard to take so bluntly.

“The fate of salvation is harsh, don’t you think?”

The silver shadow asked me as if asking for validation.

I couldn’t answer.

I don’t remember saving any world.

Although the happenings in PMH were harsh, Cheon Sungheon and the Gye Bastard cleared it too, albeit without much thought.

I still don’t know why I was given the Destiny Skill.

“I didn’t dare tell you that. I was with a rabbit who treated me no different from a family, and before my eyes closed, I saw three beautiful children. I lived quite happily ever after.”

I was at a loss for words for a moment.

Seeing her smile like that, I saw a clear resemblance to Eun Seoho, Eun Iho, and Eun Jaeho.

The three grew up bright because of her and Ok Toyeon’s influence.

When the idea came to me, I carefully asked what had been on my mind.

“…May I ask you about the father of the children?”

The silver shadow nodded.

Looking at her attitude, I was relieved that it didn’t seem to be too heavy.

“My husband is not in this world now.”

However, the first words were already heavy.

I was relieved for no reason.

While I was about to apologize, I heard her laugh.

“Hahaha! You don’t have to be so sorry. He’s not dead. He’s doing his job but not in this world.”

She smiled like a child who succeeded in mischief.

The children may have inherited their mischief from their mother.

But I didn’t quite understand what she meant.

“My husband is a watchman who keeps the cycle of reincarnation. I’ll see him again when I’m done.”

Her husband is a watchman guarding reincarnation…?

I was briefly dazed by the unexpected words, but questions immediately arose afterward.

I wondered how the two of them met and became a couple.

“I’m sure you have a lot of questions, but I’ll let my husband tell you the details. I might meet him soon.”

“Are you planning on meeting him?”

“Yes, if you do me a favor at Christmas.” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

“…Do you know what will happen at Christmas?”

She seemed to know about the First Christmas Scenario too.

She answered without denying it.

“Yes. Just like you, I saw the future that the transcendent universe showed. Although not in the form of a game.”

The mention of the transcendent universe perked my ears.

“It said that the power of Destiny is a power that comes when the person who saved the world comes into contact with the distant unknown. Is the distant unknown the transcendent universe?”

“That’s right.”

“Then you were the one who saved the world?”

“Yes.” 

The silver shadow said, raising her head.

A small energy wave formed over her hand like a drop of water, and I was impressed by what looked like pure crystal.

“I was born with my whole body devoid of blood and energy, not having the strength to hold a sword. But my spirit was different.”

When the silver shadow tapped the crystal with her fingers, the intense crystal melted like snow and scattered in the air.

It was astonishing how her hand gesture can create and collapse something so flawlessly.

“The vessel of my soul was large enough to handle the presence of countless superior beings and royal lineages. But my weak body can’t handle it, so I couldn’t move properly for thousands of years.”

I can feel it just by looking.

The power I felt in her soul was so great that I mistook her for a superior being.

She’s an existence that undoubtedly has the power to save the world.

But when?

Didn’t Eunho succeed in defending the Korean Peninsula without her daughter?

“But at the moment of a great crisis in this world, numerous superior beings, led by Cheonshin, spoke to me. With countless orders, I saved this world beyond what could be done by a physical body.”

An event so great that many superior beings joined forces to intervene.

It may not be referring to the invasion of foreign enemies in the myths.

The time didn’t match and that particular happening was resolved by the Tiger Clan.

‘She saved the world without leaving a mark in history? But that doesn’t seem possible.’

The spirit of a guardian born of the great mandate of the heavens to save the world/

She was given orders from several superior beings during a great crisis in this world.

I spoke of one incident that I could think of.

“Did you save the world during the otherworld collisions?”

The otherworld collisions that changed the world.

The world was endangered by the invasion of enemies, but the occurrence of an otherworld itself didn’t cause immediate death.

“How clever of you.”

As if my prediction was right, the existence who saved this world about a hundred years ago spoke.

“Yes. Originally, this world was to perish after the collision. The aftermath was enough to erase all life in this world. However, what happened was just contact and intersection between worlds.”

It’s widely known that otherworlds had little power compared to the world’s upheaval, but the reality must’ve been different.

This world was saved by an unnamed hero.

I didn’t know what was done to erase the aftermath of the collision, but I didn’t think it was a lie.

She spoke in a self-deprecating tone.

“It’s a story that those who have lost a lot to enemies and attacking otherworlds would laugh to hear, but I was treated as if I saved the world and gained the power of Destiny. And I did a few more things as Destiny led me.”

Do those things include saving Mok Wooram’s teacher?

She didn’t speak further, but I had no idea how many people she saved.

“Maybe it’s a little too much, but it’s hard for the soul to stay in this world so my life ended. Descendants don’t usually die this fast.”

She died around the time of Eun Jaeho’s birth.

That was about ten years ago, so she lived about ninety more years even after saving the world.

For ninety years, she saved a lot of people and prepared for what was coming.

‘She would’ve known that her life span had decreased after saving the world. That’s why she looked into the cycle of reincarnation and then made a connection with the watchman.’

Like the former head of the association who remained in AI form through an old simulator.

There seems that there are considerable restrictions for the soul to stay in this world.

It’s only at this level that we can have a conversation in a limited space where Destiny is activated.

In any case, she succeeded in leaving her soul in this world even after she died.

And we met like this.

“You may have guessed what the Black Screen is going to do.”

“…Yes.”

Anyone who played PMH can tell.

The Black Screen is trying to change this world, starting with breaking down Eungwang High.

Many people would die in the process.

“I know you have taken measures to prevent so many happenings. If it goes according to plan, we could stop what would happen in that world, but…”

She spoke with a warning.

“Hwangho-nim will be in danger.”

At that moment, Hwang Jiho who suddenly disappeared in PMH came to mind.

I was rendered speechless, and she smiled.

“I’ve seen Hwangho-nim lament his benefactor a few times, saying that you’re heartless and indifferent to him. I’m glad you seem to be worried about him.”

“…”

Did it look like that from the outside?

I didn’t mean to come off like that.

I realized that there were a lot of eyes watching.

Come to think of it, Hwang Jiho said something about being treated kindly today or whatever.

She spoke in a softer voice.

“It seems like I can ask you with confidence then.”

The hero who saved the world began to ask me an unimaginable favor. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
