[As long as those who crush the order and defend evil are eradicated, the Holy Bone will become increasingly active]
[But you have yet to enter such a Maze, yet now, at the bottom of the Tangke Grand Canyon, you witness the most evil of life forms]
[Aware of the perils around, you observe the shrubbery more carefully]
[Soon, relying on your past experiences, you cautiously approach a shadow, as another Demon jumps out from the bushes]
[You counterattack with a backward slide tackle and triumph over your foe!]
[Your continuous hunting incites hostility from the evil Demons, a dozen of them charge at you, and you choose:]
[Born fearless, battle to the final chapter!]
[After a fierce slaughter, you successfully eradicate these Demons completely]
[You've smashed them to smithereens!]
[You begin to count the materials; upon dissecting their bellies, you are surprised to find these Demons' materials unusable]
[Rather than Demons, they seem more like corpses nearing decomposition]
[You even found an almost corroded arm in their stomachs]
[It appears to be the arm of a human or humanoid, prompting a guess within you that there are inhabitants at the bottom of the Grand Canyon]
[As you proceed, the shrubbery's area diminishes, it seems you are reaching the end of the canyon's rift]
[You start to doubt if you've gone the wrong way, but you refuse to turn back until you hit a dead end]
[Finally, at the rift's end, you see a narrow cave, and you choose:]
[Taking several dozen more steps, the view suddenly clears up]
[A village with rising smoke appears before you, where humanoid creatures, simply dressed, work the land; their delicate and beautiful looks, and long, slender ears reveal this to be an Elven village]
Location: Rephya's Bedroom
Chloe, still interacting with various Association leaders in The Sims, breaks free from the simulation through sheer willpower.
He floats beside Rephya, gazing at the text flickering on her real-world screen, and sighs softly.
Who would have thought that Rephya would encounter that Elf Village so soon?
Only now does he realize the significant impact he had on Rephya after merely three simulations.
According to the original game, the simulation of the first chapter mainly unfolds based on the Ethereal Emblem Evil God Believers' forces.
Yet due to his involvement, the situation has drastically changed.
The most straightforward impact being, the chapter four level boss has been directly eliminated by him.
The mid-boss of chapter one, the witch April, he impaled her resurrection armor with a Battle Halberd and hung it on the calf.
The chapter one level boss Crimson Church Priest could still serve as practice for Rephya.
The second chapter mid-boss, the weakened King of the Living Dead beneath Tangke Grand Canyon, has just been encountered by Rephya in the simulation.
He has no recollection of the chaos among the Three Kings in chapter three of the Dark Territory.
Yet chapter four's situation can no longer be described as mere upheaval.
After all, the series of events in chapter four arises from the Flesh and Blood Hermitage utilizing a Red Moon Fragment to cause the Saint's Right Wrist to run amok.
But now, where is the Flesh and Blood Hermitage?
They've turned into Gold Coins, resting within his Black Card.
Chloe did not even leave them with ashes back then.
"Rephya, is exposing you to these things now good or bad?"
Chloe shook his head.
[You communicate with the Elves here and find their language quite different from what it is today, as if it's an ancient continental language handed down from a bygone era]
[You learn from them that their ancestors relocated here when the imperial city of Mysterious Forest fell into ruins]
[You are greatly astonished]
[Supreme Forest, Secret Forest, and Mysterious Forest were also known as the Elf Three Kingdoms]
[In the distant past, predating the Dawn Era, Elves had a glorious history, establishing their first nation, the Elf Kingdom, which once became the Era Dominator of the continent]
[But the good times didn't last long; the Elf Kingdom swiftly collapsed and fragmented into the Elf Three Kingdoms]
[As time passes, towards the end of the Era of Turmoil, the power of Mysterious Forest waned, unable to resist the Demon King's invasion; the imperial city was washed in blood, and as survivors, they fled to Tangke Grand Canyon and settled here]
[A young Elf asks about the situation outside now; are Elves rejuvenating the glory of the Elf Kingdom? You choose:]
[You choose to tell them the truth]
[Not only have Elves not regained their former glory, but they have completely declined; the Elf Race no longer exists as a nation but as tribes and villages]
[The young Elf is very disappointed and sighs, saying "it's just as the Elf Village Chief guessed"]
[You realize this contains a largely unknown history]
[You go to find the village chief to inquire about the secrets]
[Upon seeing you, the Elf Village Chief is astonished, saying he never expected to see a hero candidate after so many years]
["I'm not a hero." you tell him, but the chief says, "Whether you're a hero is not for you to judge."]
[Out of respect for your identity, he chooses to reveal an unknown history]
[Elves are not native to this continent; the earliest Elves were once the most loyal subordinates of the Demon King]
[But one day, their ancestors found a way to cast off their original identities and escape being hunted by all forces]
[The ancestors set their sights on the Little Elf Race, who had the potential to become the Era Dominator; during their fight against an apprentice disaster, they massacred a large number of Little Elves and used their bodies for reincarnation]
[Thereafter, the ancestors who occupied the bodies of the Little Elves, with the help of one of the Abyssal Four Gods, Slaanesh, spread the bloodline of the Little Elves within the Demon King Army]
[Then, the ancestors usurped the name of the Little-Elf race and began roaming the continent openly, quickly establishing the sprawling Elf Kingdom]
[The Little Elf Race, not only suffered a massacre, but even their original racial name could not be preserved, forcing a change to the name Fairy]
[The past was so evil and appalling that when the Elf Village Chief mentioned it, his face was filled with sadness and shame]
[You were shocked speechless by this secret history and suddenly realized something terrifying]
[The collapse of the Elf Three Kingdoms and the simultaneous rise of the Fairy Race suggest that the fall of the Elf Three Kingdoms was not merely due to losing too many manpower in war, as recorded in some history books]
["We are the descendants of sinners; at the time, our ancestors said that reckoning may be delayed but would never fail to arrive.
The fall of the Elf Three Kingdoms was not due to fate but was the people's choice.
Thus, before witnessing the collapse of the nation, the ancestors chose to hide us here."]
[You were left speechless by this astonishing revelation as the Village Chief looked at you with a leisurely gaze and said:]
["Future hero, standing from the perspective of those who have committed numerous sins, I offer you advice.
No matter what, you must eradicate completely the Demon King and the Demon King Army without showing any mercy.
The world-cursed Demon King cannot escape the loop of fate, and a moment of righteousness can make you miss the chance to kill the Demon King."]
[Only then do you realize that this village chief is, in fact, a Demigod; his words leave you in silence for a long time, and you choose:]
["I refuse."]
In reality.
Floating beside Rephya, Chloe watches the screen where the Heroic Maiden bites her red lip and says with unwavering determination.
"If merely due to a possibility, I have to take someone else's life, then am I still a hero or the Demon King?"
The village chief sighed and said:
"Child, I said, don't miss the opportunity."
But on the screen, the Little Deer Girl answered powerfully:
"Judge by actions, not intentions; I will determine everything with my own eyes."
The village chief was stunned:
"Even if you might miss the opportunity and die at the hands of the Demon King?"
"If that's my end..." Rephya replied with a radiant smile, "then I shall gladly accept it."
The howling wind, before you stands a true hero.
