Chapter Title: Prologue
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The scream of the Giant Evil echoes throughout the world.
The flow of the world shakes in time with the Giant Evil's scream.
As if preparing for its final struggle,
the massive evil begins to converge into a single point.
A dense malice that even all the world's evils combined couldn't surpass swirls and gathers into one point.
The wide-area instant death pattern of the Evil that Swallowed God.
[Void]
The malice that overwhelms everything begins to approach one man, erasing all in its path.
Even as this evil closes in, the man lifts his sword without a flicker of expression.
One sword cleaves a mountain,
two swords part the sea,
three swords reach the heavens.
The final stance of the Heaven Defying Sword.
[Heaven Destruction]
Kiiiiiiing---!!!
With just the single act of swinging the sword down,
the vortex of evil poised to devour the world,
the Giant Evil set to consume all creation,
everything is overturned.
Everything returns to nothingness.
[Ding-!]
"I... I did it!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Congratulations! You are the first to clear the hidden achievement {Hero of the Destroyed World}."
[Game Hidden Ending {Hero of the Destroyed World}]
You are the hero who single-handedly defeated the Giant Evil.
Even as everything shattered in the destroyed world,
your sword—unbroken in a world filled only with despair—finally reached the Giant Evil.
Respect to the Hero of the Destroyed World.
[Conditions]
[1. Single-handedly subjugate the hidden boss [Evil that Swallowed God].]
[2. Enter the final chapter with all ally characters deceased.]
[3. Enter the final chapter with Frontier Academy, Madel Empire, Elf Forest, Dwarf Village, Arkan Kingdom, Holy Kingdom, and Magic Tower all collapsed.]
[!]
[Hidden achievement cleared!]
[Will you receive the hidden achievement clear reward?]
[Y/N]
Achievement clear rewards in the game are carry-over perks for the next round—skills to bring along, or even unique traits depending on the difficulty. It's basically a multi-round bonus.
"Y, definitely receive it!!!"
[You have selected to receive.]
[Unique trait {Last Hero} will be granted in the next round.]
"Uni... unique trait! Yeah, for a hidden achievement, it has to give at least this!!"
"First, screenshot... gotta post it online."
Among all achievement perks, a unique trait had been granted only once before.
The unique trait {Defying Heaven}, awarded for clearing every achievement except the hidden ones.
And now this was the second unique trait given as a perk.
The hidden achievement {Hero of the Destroyed World} stood apart—its conditions and name fully public,
yet its insane difficulty meant no one had cleared it until now. The one and only.
So the perk it offered had everyone's curiosity piqued,
and the moment it went public, it was bound to grab all the attention.
[Ding-!]
[You have cleared this round!]
[Proceeding to the next round.]
"Huh...?"
Something was off. Multi-round progression wasn't automatic—it required the player's choice.
[You have achieved the impossible!]
[Second hidden reward granted!]
Suddenly, my vision blurs.
Strength drains from my body, and my eyes close without resistance.
"Damn... sh..."
[Inheritance privileges: {Defying Heaven}, {Last Hero}!]
That translucent window—not on the screen, but floating right in front of my eyes—was the last thing I saw before my body hit the floor without a fight.
