Five hundred years later, the long-standing peace of humanity finally turned turbulent once more. In the new era of chaotic changes, Leon awakened the memories of his past life and arrived at a crossroad in his life.

Sure. One version says it's related to the idea that in some European cultures, there were tree spirits. Knocking on wood was a way to appease these spirits. And then there's the theory that it has something to do with the fact that wood was seen as a stable and strong element, and by knocking on it, you were sort of borrowing that strength and stability to protect yourself from bad luck or negative events.

Some think that knock - knock jokes have their roots in children's games. Kids like the rhythm of saying 'Knock - knock' and waiting for a response. Over time, adults also started using them. They grew in popularity as they are easy to remember and can be adapted with different words and puns. For example, 'Knock - knock. Who's there? Boo. Boo who? Don't cry, it's just a joke!' This shows how flexible they are.
