40. Mid-version, a major autumn event is coming!
Last night, Lia, who was excited about the prospect of becoming a Hero, practiced her swordsmanship until the early morning, not resting until she was utterly exhausted.
What she didn't know was that Aiko, in the room next door, was also practicing through meditation.
And she stayed up even later than Lia.
They weren't the only ones.
Following the announcement from the World Tree Sanctum, the entire continent and all its races were in an uproar.
To become a Hero, to gain the favor of the World Tree Sanctum.
This opportunity could even affect entire races.
Humans had always been the strongest race on the Mystic Continent, with the Beastmen and Elves ranking below them.
The one hundred thousand Hero Stones gave the Beastmen and Elves a glimmer of hope.
They had to obtain more Hero Stones, surpass the humans!
Adventurers from all races were eager to try their luck.
The number of visits to the World Tree had doubled since that day.
