Chapter 13: New World.

  Harpya recounts the entire journey and explains how he and Isz survived.

  Isz:

  Harpya:

  Isz feels somewhat relieved to know this.

  Harpya asks one of the maids to bring Isz something to eat and comments that much has changed.

  Isz

  Isz, looking out the window, smiles slightly.

  Harpya:But since you brought it up, no, we're not entirely at peace. Yes, I became a soldier and trainer of the soldiers who fight the monsters here.

  Isz:

  Harpya reluctantly replies: -Yes, when I arrived here there was peace, but over time creatures from the sea appeared, things we've never faced before.

  Isz swallows hard and lowers his gaze, but Harpya comforts him, saying that after he returned from Vein and obtained arcanite to make new relics, Volny regained peace in most areas.

  Isz questions Harpya and asks why he returned to Vein. Harpya says the soldiers weren't prepared, and even he needed to find Saint Gorb's bestiary to learn about the enemies and relics to create pseudo-magical weapons to fight the monsters. He used the Sword of the Voice of Imposingness, but it broke, and he made several relics from it, including the one he uses now.

  Harpya says he needed to find what the compass of dreams indicated, and he found it. It was a sword called Cruzalis and armor called dragon skin. They were described in the bestiary but were treated as legend until Gray became interested in them. They say they have the capacity to fight on equal terms with Gods and were made for one.

  Isz:Harpya:

  Isz says he understands and is hesitant about his future, but Harpya says he will find a place for him in the army.

  Isz:Harpya: -Ah, that's my daughter, her name is Giona, and the boy's name is Lucca. I married Ida and we live here; it's also close to the training field, which helps me.

  Isz is surprised and says he slept for quite a while and congratulates Harpya.

  Isz eats his meal and changes his clothes. The king was waiting to talk to him. Harpya says she'll arrange an alibi for him to integrate into his new society and continue his life.

  On the way to meet the king, Giona asks why Isz slept so long, and he smiles and says he's very lazy.

  Ida runs and hugs Isz, with tears in her eyes she says she's happy to see him awake and says she remembered his childhood version and that it was like seeing him again. Isz thanks her for welcoming him.

  The king approaches and Isz bows, but the king, weakened by a cane, tells him without reverence, and yes, he is happy that he is alive and well.

  Nyx:

  Isz:

  Nyx:Nyx talks about the military installations and Isz heads towards the training field.

  Isz picks up a spear and begins to wield it; it was a mix of nostalgia and happiness, and the rookie soldiers approach to watch him train.

  Impressed, they ask to train together, and Isz accepts.

  Isz defeats them all, and Nyx challenges him.

  Nyx makes a charge, and Isz moves like the wind behind him and knocks him out with a blow.

  Harpya, seeing all this, says that he was extremely strong and very different from the one he knew. Isz apologizes and goes to rest after training.

  Harpya invites Isz to see the city, showing him the airships, cable cars, new foods, and the technology of the scrolls and buildings.

  Isz smiled slightly and commented on everything. Harpya knew that his dream was to see the world and he was fulfilling part of that dream. For Isz, this was a new world, but a world that might be about to collapse.
