He just stood there, but the entire center of the war seemed to revolve around him; his commanding presence simply couldn’t be ignored!

["Shattered Star General" Latan]

From the moment Fanen laid eyes on him, he never looked away, not even blinking, staring intently at Latan, was there... an obsession in his gaze?

Since Uffie mentioned that his mother’s ancestral home was the Warrior Country, Fanen had subconsciously aligned himself more with the residents of the Warrior Country, seemingly influenced even in his character.

And now, the blood of the Warrior Country within him was telling him that the Shattered Star General before him was an undisputed, complete warrior!

Admire him, learn from him, and then challenge him!

Under Fanen’s reluctant gaze, the image of the Shattered Star General faded as he descended.

The next to appear in this Broken War was a woman with the same red hair, tall with an outstanding posture.

Her wing-like helmet covered the upper half of her face, but the exposed lower half was already stunningly beautiful, leaving much to the imagination.

Her body seemed incomplete, was that a metal prosthetic arm? Could a disabled person also go to war?

They could, and she was one of the main characters.

At the moment the woman equipped her prosthetic limb, her red hair fluttered in the air, perfectly merging with the soldiers’ blood spray. Just standing there without any movement, she exuded a presence not less than the Shattered Star General.

For a moment, Fanen hallucinated her transforming into a crimson flower ready to bloom.

["Michaela’s Blade" Marionia]

Dark wings swept across the sky.

In a place far away from the Broken War, a figure in ornate clothing, with black wings on his back and a head full of twisted horns like an Omen, flew out from a giant tree, with one eye that escaped being blinded by the horns gleaming with a sinister light.

And in his embrace, a petite figure with long pale golden hair quietly curled up.

Did she seem like a charming little girl?

[The demigods had obtained the Elden Ring fragments, but succumbed to madness competing for its power, sparking the Broken War]

[The Supreme Will exiled them]

The clamorous war scenes ended, the smell of gunpowder vanished, replaced by a tranquil atmosphere.

[After the Broken War, the Faded, those who couldn’t find eternal rest, were beckoned by their lost blessings]

["King of the Barbaric Land" Holle Loo]

A white-haired large man with indistinguishable features, along with a giant lion, was pinned dead against a tree trunk by countless weapons, majestic even in death.

[Radiant Golden Mask]

A body as thin as an Animated Corpse lay on the ground, yet the golden sun-like mask on their face shone brightly.

[Despised Feces Eater]

A person wearing grotesque armor was hanged at the gallows, the filthy air seemingly reeking of dirtiness.

["Hundred Wisdom Sir" Gideon Ofniel]

A wise old man lay quietly in a coffin, with silver ears scattered over him.

The figures of the Faded flashed past his eyes one by one, Fanen didn’t understand their significance, but felt that this naming sequence left a powerful impression.

He too longed to have a title that was announced with such grandeur!

[Following the blessings’ guidance, the Faded embarked on the path to collect the Ring fragments and become the Elden King...]

With the disappearance of the mysterious woman’s voice, the surroundings plunged back into darkness.

Though he didn’t fully understand, Fanen interpreted the imagery to mean one must collect the Elden Ring fragments held by the demigods?

To challenge Omen, Shattered Star General, Marionia!

Fanen’s breathing grew heavy, perhaps unbeknownst to himself, as he realized the potential to challenge those in the imagery, his face flushed with excitement.

Moreso than a resident of the Warrior Country, he seemed more like a traditional native!

"Okay, I must challenge them, strive to collect—"

Before he could finish, the imagery reappeared, but this time only showed the back of one person.

If there were any older adventurers of the Sain Dungeon present, they would recognize this figure clad in White Wolf Battle Ghost armor, who appeared in the [Painting World "Waste Stone"]...

The Elden King!

The mysterious woman’s voice sounded.

[The king has now been born, he defeated a host of demigods and even gods, the Elden Ring has been repaired]

[All things can now face the future]

Fanen was suddenly stunned.

Wait, the Ring is repaired? The Elden King already appeared?

Then what’s his purpose for entering this Dungeon.

To rebel against the Elden King?

[The king has left, but his memories remain here]

[For those who wish to retrace the Elden King’s journey, this memory is what you desire]

The fall finally ended at that moment.

Fanen came to his senses, realizing he was sitting on a somewhat decayed wooden chair, with a wide round table before him.

Countless weapons stood at the round table’s center, entwined with golden blessing, offering a unique charm that even conjured images of heroes sitting around the table recounting great deeds.

Fanen stared dazedly at the blessing, processing what he had just seen, his brain working rapidly.

Everything he saw just now, be it places, characters, or events, he knew nothing of before; was it lost history from some unknown period?

Yet given the Broken War’s scale and those individuals’ peerless demeanor... could they really disappear in the river of history without leaving a trace?

He instinctively felt something was amiss and tried to find a reasonable explanation, but ultimately he found he couldn’t.

So, he abandoned thinking.

"Why bother thinking about these things, that’s not my job, I should be fighting instead."

With this thought, the world seemed broader.

He reached into the blessing at the center of the round table, from which golden light flowed out, gently swirling before him, forming something like a bubbling effect, within which floated the image of the Elden King.

[Memories of the Elden King]

A slight touch and it split into countless smaller "bubbles," each depicting a different character, some of whom Fanen recognized from the imagery, but most were entirely unfamiliar figures.

Among them all, only one "bubble" was lit, so he touched it.

["Limb Attachment" Greg’s Chasing Memories]

It was a figure who seemed to share many similarities with limb-connecting nobles, lacking the sufficient might compared to other characters.

A bright light suddenly burst before Fanen’s eyes!
