Many years pass after the great war with the hunters.

The heroes have retired from the world.

The world was slowly healing and before anyone knew it, over 50 years already passed.

The period of the great wars, the time when the heroes actively participate, were recorded in the books as the age of glory.

Many of their allies have passed away, those who were left behind chose to settle down occasionally venturing outside but returning back home before it gets dark for a warm meal together.

This changes the forest of darkness into a giant village, it could even be called a territory.

The territory of the heroes.

Guarded by the guardian household of Henituse. For outsider without permission there is only one entrance to reach that territory.

Harris village. Acting as the only gate to the territory of the heroes. 

For those who reside in the forest of darkness they are allowed to just venture inside via magic or anything else.

Respecting the wish of the heroes, the people of the continents do not bother them and let them reture to their desire life.

And for those who reside inside, it was a much needed rest.

Regret, sorrows and pain have already turn into a scar and have been slowly fading over time.

They all have learnt to accept.

Their monarchs of the age of glory have pass their seats to the next generation and settle down in the forest of darkness.

Children from the age of glory have grown up to be able to follow the footstep of their guardians.

Those with ambitions have been able to achieve them with flying colors.

Those with dreams were able to fulfill them to the fullest.

Those who have lived their lives have been able to obtain a peaceful sleep.

It was certainly a deserving reward for those who have sacrifice themselves.

It was certainly the future that they have hoped for even if some parts were missing.

"You've certainly live up to your title, dongseang." A teasing voice came from behind. A dark-skinned man walk inside the room.

"You are certainly 'the hero who lives forever'. Even at the age of over 80 you are still as handsome."

Kim rok soo turn his head to the person who just walk into his study. "Neither have you age a bit, Hyung-nim."

The ever stoic man now had a smile on his face. Both men have turned over 80 but they still held the youthful look of their younger days.

One was a dark elf and the other a single lifer. "How was your trip?" Kim rok soo was the one who broke the silence.

"Ha that nephew of mine looked even older then me. He was fuming when i tease him about it."

Alberu passed down his throne to his nephew, the eldest son of his younger brother, Robbit, who sadly have passed away 10 years ago.

"You still haven't change." Kim rok soo sigh. Then the door open again. "There you two are! Everyone have been looking for you two."

Another youthful looking man with black hair came in. "Choi Han." "The children?" Two voices spoke at the same time.

Choi Han just smile. Then the door open again. "We're here!" "Goodafternoon, Rok soo nya~" "Haa goldie gramps is right. Those elves really need to learn what self-control is."
