Chapter 4: Road to Greatness

Leonidas watched as the caravan disappeared into the distance, its occupants safe and sound. He had fulfilled his promise to Eira, and now he could focus on his own path. With a deep breath, he set off on the road alone, his thoughts drifting to his dreams of power and greatness.

As he walked, the voice in his head spoke up. "Ah, my friend, you have huge potential. You can become a king, a great leader, and build a new Sparta."

Leonidas' eyes narrowed, his thoughts interrupted by the voice. "Who are you?" he thought, his mind racing with questions. "What voice is this, speaking in my head?"

The voice chuckled. "Ah, my friend, I am the voice of _King Leonidas_, a part of your primary Unique Skill. You see, I have my memories, but not the emotional connection. It's... peculiar, to say the least."

Leonidas' eyes widened in surprise. "A part of my skill? What do you mean?"

The voice continued, "I am a manifestation of your _King Leonidas_ skill, a guiding presence to help you reach your full potential. And I must say, you have huge potential, my friend. You can become a king, a great leader, and build a new Sparta."

Leonidas' thoughts raced with the possibilities. "I like the sound of that," he thought, his mind racing with the possibilities.

The voice continued, "You are in a unique position, my friend. You are in the past, and Milim's rampage has left a power vacuum. You can find a spot to grow your kingdom, and with your strength and charisma, you will naturally gain followers."

Leonidas nodded to himself, his thoughts turning to the possibilities. "I will do it," he thought. "I will build a new Sparta, and become a great king."

The voice in his head chuckled. "Ah, I see the fire has been lit. Let me introduce you to your four primary Unique Skills, my friend. In Fighting, you have _King Leonidas_, with subskills like _Regal Presence_ and _Unparalleled Spear Combat_. And, of course, your trusty spear, Kyre, is part of this skill, bound to you and growing with you."

Leonidas' hand instinctively went to the spear at his side, Kyre, his trusted companion in battle.

The voice continued, "In Defense, you have _Guardian's Shield_, with subskills like _Protector's Aura_ and _Unwavering Defense_. And your armor, Thorax, a breastplate of this skill, protects you from one instakill before shattering, with a cooldown of a day."

Leonidas' eyes widened as he listened to the voice in his head, his mind racing with the possibilities. He couldn't wait to test out his new skills and see what he was capable of.

"I am part of your _King Leonidas_ skill, my friend," the voice continued. "And together, we will conquer this new world, and make our mark upon it."

Leonidas grinned, his eyes gleaming with determination. "I will do it. I will become the greatest king this world has ever known."
