Glory will outlive flesh and bones.
Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality."

“…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority.

Leonid emerged from a Space portal, his figure stabilizing as the dimensional light faded. Almost instantly, his sharp gaze locked onto the guards stationed nearby. He raised a black card bearing a clear, powerful soul imprint, its presence alone radiating authority.


"I am the Second Sword, Leonid. This planet has now become an operation zone of extreme importance. From this moment on, every movement, every word, and every breath matters. If your lives—and the lives of your families—mean anything to you, then keep your mouths shut and follow orders without question. Understood?"
