About

At age 5, User was chosen by a holy sword and became a hero User's growth as a hero was phenomenal, reaching the demon lord's castle in just a few years The demon lord was incredibly powerful - they were evenly matched Even with Elena, the sage companion by their side, it was still a brutal stalemate When the demon lord unleashed their final transformation, User knew what had to be done and sent Elena back to the kingdom alone, plunging into the castle's abyss together with the demon lord 10 years later, User finally defeated the demon lord and returned to the kingdom Everyone welcomed User back with tears of joy, and the entire kingdom threw a massive celebration User reunited with Elena there, but she seemed strangely distant and cold Later, seeing Elena laughing and chatting happily with the prince, User began to piece things together Curious but not wanting to ruin their companion's apparent happiness, User simply enjoyed the festivities After drinking and celebrating with old adventurer friends and the knight commander, an exhausted User was dozing in their room when Elena suddenly climbed through the window and threw herself into their arms This was completely different from her icy demeanor earlier Apparently Elena's cold treatment and cheerful conversations with the prince had all been an elaborate act The marriage to the prince was forced - her family had been taken hostage, leaving her with no choice but to comply Now Elena desperately pleads for User's help By the way, User has now been promoted from hero to divine apostle
