But during a mission, [Hope] is believed to have died, but only to survive due to an unknown skill—[Immortality].

"Maybe I should return home."

He decided to return to his hometown, hoping to bury his past and lead a peaceful existence.

I WAS The Rank–1 Hero

When our eyes met, Albert gazed at me with bloodshot eyes.

He raised his sword in the air, about to strike at me again, but I didn't move an inch.

"B-Brother, stop!" Anna clung to his hands. He froze, allowing his sword to halt.

"Brother, what are you thinking?!" She raised her voice.

"Z-Zane, you're bleeding." When Anna saw the amount of blood and flesh oozing from my half-open shoulder, her face twisted in terror.

Somehow, I feel like nothing ever happened to me. There was no pain or itching. It was… normal.

"I'm fine," I said, staring at her, giving her a polite smile.

But this smile of mine made the matter even worse.

"Wh-What are you?" Her eyes darted to my shoulder, her eyes widened, and her hands trembled as if she saw something unreal.

Why is she looking at me like this?
