My name... is Elysia!

Watching the final scene with Eden and Elysia singing together, Kiana's expression subtly shifted.

But to be fair, they had never heard this song before.

The chirping of sparrows, the melody of love woven by a hundred flowers... As if capturing all the beauty of the world, Elysia sang with a serene expression that touched the depths of Kiana's heart. All the paths paved by countless efforts now seemed to converge beneath Elysia's steps.

Welcoming Elysia like this, it felt as though destiny had drawn near.

"I really love this melody~"

"Although... Even though such an emotional remark makes me feel a bit embarrassed, I can't deny my affection for it... I feel like saying this every time the soundtrack plays."

"Also, Mei, Kiana, what do you think...? Isn't this... just as dazzling as first meeting, hm~"

Elysia casually brushed aside a strand of hair, the corners of her lips curling into a faint smile. She did not resemble the ethereal beauty of her grand debut in the game, dressed in a magnificent outfit. Yet she exuded her unique charm and elegance.

After all, that was all her too.

"Splendidly dressed at the banquet, how beautiful she was~"

The beauty hidden under that elegant exterior back then now could finally be revealed for all to admire.

"Indeed... Just like our first meeting, your appearance this time is truly stunning."

"The last time you saved Su Lu, you were dressed like this, weren't you... Herrscher of Humanity, indeed lives up to her name."

Kiana couldn't help but admit it.

When compared to herself in the game, where she often appeared in comical or flamboyant outfits and later as a battle-worn warrior, Elysia seemed to align much more with the image of the perfect beautiful girl most people dreamed of.

What she displayed was the beauty of a young girl, like a shining example of flawless elegance.

At this moment, she felt a bit self-conscious.

"This version of you truly leaves a lasting impression."

Mei slightly nodded, her eyes also reflecting a gaze of admiration for beauty as she looked at the image of Elysia on the screen.

"So, this is the name of your Herrscher identity... the Herrscher of Humanity?"

Bronya asked doubtfully, surprised that before the Herrscher of Reason, there was another Herrscher.

This delved into a gap in her knowledge.

After revealing her long-hidden secret, Elysia's eyebrows curved like a painting, her steps visibly becoming lighter.

After all... this was the biggest lie ever told by someone who wasn't good at lying.

"Ah—a Herrscher of Humanity, who dares to say you're not human?"

"The non-human you explained why you became the best of humanity... Elysia, the humanity in later Herrschers—was it imparted by you?"

Mobius threw out an answer she had long prepared.

She squinted her eyes, her fingers tapping lightly on the soft sofa. There was no sound, but it was more a reflection of her thought process.

She only knew it must have something to do with her.

But she hadn't expected her authority to be so straightforward and open.

So, it was because of this that she chose to walk alongside humans. But after seeing Herrschers repeatedly hunted down and turned into a symbol of distrust, what complex emotions must have stirred in her heart?

Such a thought suddenly flashed through Mobius' mind.

Was that why she seemed so heartbroken during Kevin's encounter with the Herrscher of Death?

"Humanity?!"

Kiana, Bronya, and Seele all turned to look at one another in unison. They hadn't immediately reacted to the earlier words, or perhaps those who had guessed them didn't feel confident enough to confirm.

But this explanation... one had to admit, it made a lot of sense.

Her fondness for Herrschers like Mei wasn't just because they were similar to her, but because what she sought was the most beautiful part of humanity.

Looking at everything she did, did she ultimately succeed? Did she manage to prevent the repetition of all the tragedies?

"That's right, look, even my departure concluded in such a grand way, its impact carrying on into the next era."

Elysia nodded in acknowledgment.

"So... so that's how it is, Sister Elysia. I kept wondering why this era felt so unusual. If it was something you achieved... then everything makes sense."

Pardofelis exclaimed excitedly.

"Indeed, one of the teachings of Aymona—Elysia is omnipotent." Luo Mo also nodded, fully agreeing with the cat's words.

"...Hmm?"

---------

In the beginning, the world was a vast chaos.

Within this void, she was born.

What first emerged was sound.

A soft sound fell into the chaos, stirring faint, silent ripples, as though calling to someone, as though commemorating someone.

And then came light.

The light was good, for it separated the chaos, illuminated the darkness, and dispelled the original void.

That light was so faint.

That light was so bright.

What she saw was lush green trees, clear and sweet spring water; drifting clouds, and the chirping of birds.

Her eyes reflected the world, and the world also reflected her silhouette.

A gentle breeze brushed against her cheeks, welcoming her arrival. She slightly opened her mouth, as if responding to the earth's anticipation.

"Ah…"

A soft cry.

This was the voice of a girl who had smiled through life, bringing the world its very first sound.

The girl was not human but a gift from the heavens.

------

Mei looked around, as if everything was covered in a layer of soft pink gauze, tinged with a hazy glow.

Like the edge of the clouds, like a dreamland.

An eternal paradise in pink—this was a completely new experience for her.

"So… did it work?"

Mei looked at the Fairy Ellie. Unlike Eden, Fairy Ellie had not disappeared but was still floating in the air, holding onto that thick magic staff.

To be honest, Mei felt that the magic staff did not match Ellie's petite figure at all.

But if she was using it as a club, that was another matter.

The fairy, Ellie, blinked her big eyes and said,

"Of course! You've already reached the deepest part of the memory."

"Next, I'll take you and your beloved humans through the final stretch of the journey. She's waiting for you at the grand hall at the end of the amusement park… So, what you need to do now is play the role of a guest of honor."

"Appear at this grand banquet looking your very best, and then let everything conclude beautifully!"

"In the space of memories, you should dress yourself up in the style of memories~ You'll see many things you don't understand in this place!"

------

In a border town called Valdivistock 51.

A hardworking gardener found a pink-haired girl under the tallest tree outside the town. She was sleeping peacefully there, like a daughter of nature.

The gardener took the girl to the town and sent her to the orphanage next to the church.

The girl was lively and adorable, affectionate yet playful, and the townspeople adored her.

In the early spring, when the snow first melted, she stood at the classroom entrance, giving freshly picked flowers to every passerby.

In the bright and warm season, she joined the orphanage children in tending the orchard, eagerly awaiting a bountiful harvest.

In the autumn, when leaves danced in the wind, she learned to speak, pressing colorful leaves into pictures and weaving stories for everyone.

In the silver-clad winter, she drew musical notes in the snow and sang softly in the sunlit forest.

The girl seemed like a gift from the forest. No one knew where she came from, yet everyone accepted her. Her sincere smile always touched the softest parts of people's hearts.

(A/C: Aww~ Baby Ellie looks so CUTE~🤗)

But unfortunately, she still had no name.

Everyone wanted to give her a beautiful name, but they could never find the perfect one.

"Haven't you thought of one yet? It's inconvenient not to have a name." A younger girl asked.

"Mm... but none of these names are cute enough!"

The nameless girl furrowed her brows slightly, unwilling to settle.

"But I think 'Atasha' and 'Cielina' sound nice."

"No, no! A name is very important! I must choose the one I love the most!"

She declared loudly, her voice like the chirping of a hundred birds, her eyes shining with joy.

Of course, life had its dull and uneventful moments, but in her eyes, there was always something to savor.

Time passed day by day, and the girl still eagerly awaited her name.

A whole year went by, and the day she was brought to the town arrived once more. On this day, the orphanage's caretaker gave her a cake with a picture book attached.

"Wow—thank you, Mama Celia!"

She chirped excitedly, eager to see the world beyond, curious about things she had never encountered.

Clutching the first gift of her life tightly, she flipped it open under the moonlight of a winter's night.

"Wow…"

It was a fairy tale based on an old legend.

Legend had it that at the edge of the world, there lay a paradise.

The story's protagonist set out on a journey in search of it, but everyone told him that such a paradise did not exist.

Yet the protagonist refused to give up. He traveled relentlessly, searching and exploring despite countless hardships, until he finally reached the journey's end.

But there, he found nothing—just emptiness. The paradise from the legends truly did not exist.

Still, the protagonist did not give up. Standing at the world's edge, he shouted—

"If paradise does not exist, then I will create one myself!"

And so, he embarked on a journey even longer and more challenging than before.

His goal became more distant, and his path was full of hardships.

But because of this, more and more people gathered around him.

Those who shared his dreams followed him, moving ever forward toward their destination.

Until, at last…

"They laughed, embraced each other, and sang in celebration of their dreams coming true."

The nameless girl lay on her bed, eyes brimming with the story's conclusion. She was touched by their efforts and offered her heartfelt blessings for their ending.

Her little feet kicked lightly in the air, her face buried slightly into the pillow, cheeks flushed pink. Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she sat up excitedly and pounded her fists on the bed.

"They finally reached paradise. It was there, at the end of their journey.

The people cheered, calling out the paradise's name—"

"Ah—"

The girl widened her eyes.

The moonlight quietly spilled in, illuminating the final word of the story.

"This is it..."

"The boundless paradise... the eternal land..."

She stared at the words, feeling an uncontrollable surge of emotion. The goal she had always longed for was now right before her eyes.

"Mm... Mm! A name... A name..."

"My name is..."

"Elysia !"

(A/C:🎉🎉🎉)

At last, the nameless girl had found her own name.

-------------

In the grand hall—

"So... it was really because of a fairy tale? That's how you decided on your name?"

Mei furrowed her brows.

"I did read that fairy tale, just... while telling stories to the children. I didn't expect that Elysia had read a similar one."

Aponia's words added a touch of credibility.

But Mei still found it hard to believe, preferring to think this was just Elysia making up a story.

Yet—everything matched up.

It was clearly her, and looking back, it wasn't all that surprising.

"It always feels like anything related to Elysia somehow takes on a layer of dreamy romance, like a fairy tale. Don't you think?"

Eden took a sip of wine and said gently,

"Elysia's life itself is like a fairy tale... It's wonderful. The origin of the Founder's name is perfectly fitting."

Kevin nodded in agreement.

"Well... it's not that amazing, just okay~"

Elysia scratched her head with a bright smile, then glanced warily at Kevin, clearly deciding to ignore his opinion.

"However, Kevin, you should be quite."

-----------------

After dinner, the girl stayed behind as usual to help the adults clear the table and clean up.

Today, she was going to make a super important decision!

"What's wrong, Elysia?"

"I... I have something I want to tell Mama Celia."

She gripped the hem of her skirt, looking nervous.

Her tense tone surprised the woman slightly.

She understood Elysia, just as she understood all the children here.

Taking the girl's hand, she gently encouraged her to continue.

"Mama Celia , I... I want to leave this place."

"You want to leave the orphanage? Oh... do you want to become an apprentice at the bookstore? You do love stories so much."

"No, not that... I want to leave the town."

"Leave the town?"

"The people who came here before, the ones who brought everyone... they... they..."

"Elysia... what happened?"

"...They made me realize that the outside world is so vast!"

Elysia widened her eyes, speaking excitedly.

"So, I want to go out and explore, to see it for myself. I want to be like the hero in the picture book and find the paradise at the end of the world!"

"..."

(A/C: unlike the other Heroes and Protagonist in other Fictions, who have a Dream and struggle hard or fall in despair in their journey. Ely always moves forward with the same Smile, from the beginning until the End)

"Alright then, I'll help little Elysia prepare for her journey."

"Huh? Mom Celia... you're not angry?"

The innocent girl was puzzled.

She hadn't expected such an open-minded statement to be accepted so quickly.

"Elysia has her own dreams. Why would I be angry?"

"But if you're out there alone, you must be careful. The world is vast, and there are many unknowns. The choices you make will be your own responsibility."

The woman's gentle and patient voice reassured her.

"But don't trouble yourself over whether it's right or wrong—just follow your heart."

"Elysia has always been a smart and kind child. Mama believes you'll take good care of yourself."

"Mm... Thank you, Mama Celia!"

The innocent girl nodded firmly.

She should go far away.

What she didn't say out loud was the unease hidden deep in her heart. She feared becoming a burden to the people in the town. She... perhaps she was what those people had been searching for.

But she chose to move forward.

And so, amidst the blessings and farewell voices of the crowd, the girl carried her backpack and embarked on her journey.

She walked toward the rising sun, taking her very first step.

The birds sang for her, the blooming flowers wove a path before her, and even the babbling streams and fresh winds played a moving melody. The forest sheltered her as she walked, guiding her toward the unknown road ahead.

At last, she reached the highest hill outside the town...

"Wow..."

It was her first time seeing such a sight.

(Image)

"So many lights... so many houses... so... so many..."

She was awestruck by the scene before her.

The setting sun cast its final glow over the mountains, and the wonders created by humankind shimmered in the twilight like a flowing sea of lights.

Countless lights from homes converged in the night, flashing and sparkling, forming a magnificent painting.

The small town she had once thought was the entire world was merely a tiny speck of light in this grand painting—so small that if one didn't pay attention, it would be swallowed completely.

Yet it was precisely because of countless tiny, faint lights that this vast ocean of light was born.

"So... beautiful!"

She couldn't find any other words to describe it.

It was a beauty that made her heart tremble with joy and admiration, a breathtaking world that left her emotions utterly captivated.

Her wide eyes eagerly took in everything, carefully engraving the scene into her memory. Her small face was tinged with the cold night's rosy glow as she pressed against the shadow of a haystack, breathing lightly while watching.

"If that's the case... then I should go find my paradise!"

The girl wasn't intimidated. On the contrary, she was filled with determination as she shouldered her backpack.

She became even more convinced that paradise must exist somewhere in this world.

In the Hall

"So, the anomaly detected by the Fire Moth back then wasn't the Ouroboros incident, but rather the birth of a Herrscher in Valdivistock ."

"It was you, wasn't it?"

Mobius narrowed her eyes slightly, confirming the other party's origin once again.

"Obviously, if there were no mistakes, then that's exactly what happened~"

Elysia tilted her head slightly and then sighed helplessly. "But when I was little, I was clearly just like any other child. Could it really be... because I was too cute?"

"..."

"It's because of our weapon, don't be so narcissistic."

Mobius said nonchalantly.

However, the other party's childhood was indeed not as flawless as she imagined. Even if she didn't say it, could pure goodwill towards strangers truly last until today? Who could be completely selfless?

But in Elysia's memory, there were only beautiful moments—like the times when she ate biscuits.

(TL: Imagining 3 years Ely munching a cookie~\\~)

The Girl's Journey

The girl embarked on a journey without an end.

In the time that followed, she passed through cities, rivers, villages, and wilderness.

She saw many things and encountered many people.

She once sat in the ruins of a church, listening to poetic, melodious hymns.

"Mm..."

"Little girl, are you hungry? Here, take these bread rolls and eat them."

A kind old man had once given her bread he couldn't bear to eat, even though he himself had nothing.

She had once stopped at an abandoned station, shaking a tattered scarf to warm herself.

"...You've been staring at me this whole time!"

"Huh? But you just said that since I gave you my apple, you should give me an orange in return..."

A skinny girl tricked her out of her apple, saying it was a fair trade and a lesson learned.

She had once been in a golden, radiant theater, captivated by the heavenly voice on stage.

"Amazing... and so beautiful! I want to hear more songs like this!"

"Oh, looks like it's your first time experiencing this. Do you know about vinyl records? Come, come, I'll show you my collection!"

The innocent girl was shaken by the beauty of the humanity portrayed in the performance and befriended those who shared her love for it.

She had once wept along with the city at night, standing in a rain-soaked alley.

"Chirp chirp... That rich man was so strange. He suddenly became kind, gave us money, and called us poor little kids without a home..."

"There's always a group of people watching over us. Grandpa never comes just to scold us, chirp chirp..."

The innocent girl didn't understand. To her, that person had acted out of kindness... hadn't he?

She had once passed by a sorrowful school, separated by walls from children of the same age.

She looked at the lively campus with great longing.

She had once walked through villages abandoned by the world, witnessing awe-inspiring ceremonies from behind a crowd of onlookers.

She felt confused by men who willingly bound themselves.

She had once traveled far to cities in the east, pausing in the bustling streets to take in the sights.

She experienced foreign cultures, martial arts, and archery.

She had once returned to the golden streets, sitting in a rundown theater by the roadside.

She witnessed miraculous magic—mysterious and astonishing.

She had once stepped onto distant mountains, gazing at all the world's separations and reunions.

Some people feared her pink hair, dreading her name, for they could never forget the hands that once held a scalpel.

She had once constructed the core of the world, engraving human joys and sorrows in her heart.

People spoke of an experiment room as eerie as a man-eating beast, but in reality, it belonged to an unfortunate doctor who had no other choice.

The girl's footsteps traveled across the world.

Each encounter gradually sculpted her soul.

She received kindness from strangers, feeling warmth, gratitude, and encouragement.

She also suffered from inexplicable malice, being deceived, used, and betrayed.

Like day and night, the journey of good and evil split her path in two—one side was light, the other shadow.

At that time, she still couldn't understand why such contradictory things coexisted in human hearts.

But she believed that the flickering lights she saw must truly exist.

"In the end... the Earth is round, and the world really has no end."

She patted her troubled head, for she had returned to the hill in her small town, once again gazing at the countless lights under the night sky and the endlessly flowing river.

Yet, she had traveled the whole world.

"Just like in the books... paradise really doesn't exist, huh..."

But she curled her lips into a light smile, without a trace of regret.

"If that's the case..."

"If paradise doesn't exist, then I'll create one myself!"

"It must be an incredibly, beautiful paradise!"

Because she wanted to fill it with everything beautiful she had ever seen~

"And then, I'll name it after myself—"

She had already decided on the name in her heart.

—Elysium.

Just like her own name, Elysia... In the language of the vast continent, it meant paradise.

(TL/Note:)

We have reached the End of the Translation. I can't countine the story because I have no access to the next chapter to translate it.

The orginal Fanfic is uploaded in a website called "Hedgehog cat" or "cat hedgehog". It's a Chinese webnovel, like the Webnovel.

The only difference and the problem is:

1) Fanfiction story are not free as in Webnovel.

2) there is no free Pass like in Webnovel

3) you need to became a member for the Author to read the next chapter, just like Patreon.

4) to become a member, you need Coins (similar to Webnovel) and to get Coins, you need to use Real money.

5) unfortunately, you can only use 3 Chinese Banks account to buy those Coins. (I tried, and it was impossible for me)

So, that's the problem. Unless one of you Lots can do it yourself and find a way to get the next chapter (Chapter 101). You can send me the orginal text and I will translate.

But if u can't, then that's too bad.

I too feel sad that I can't read the next part, but since I was able to see the ending for Otto and his lover, I am satisfied.

----

Ah! Also, I was planning to make 3 extra side chapter for Luo Mo. But seeing most of you don't Care about Elysia, and siding with that Dog.

I won't upload it *Hump!*😒

For those who want to read it, I can send you the file on the discord. Just type your name [Here]
