The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 532

Thirty years ago, something strange happened.

Thirty years ago, a man named Sebastian saw something very strange. He was not yet the leader of the Maron Order, but that day changed his life.

Thud.

“Ack?!”

He startled in surprise.

A book had suddenly fallen before his eyes.

You might think, “So what? A book fell.” But this book was different. It just appeared out of nowhere.

Sebastian looked up. His eyes were wide with surprise. He looked at the sky, confused.

The sky was empty. There was nowhere the book could have fallen from. Sebastian thought and thought, but he still couldn’t understand what he had seen.

He picked up the book.

He felt he *must* pick up the book. He took it home, put it on his desk, and thought hard about it.

“What am I to do with this?”

He knew he couldn’t tell anyone about the book.

Sebastian was a smart, sensible man. He knew people would think he was crazy if he told them what he saw.

He couldn’t prove the book was real using science.

If he just said, ‘This book is special because I saw it fall from nowhere,’ people would think he was like someone in a mental hospital who talks nonsense.

So, Sebastian decided not to tell anyone about the book.

He couldn’t prove the book was real, but that wasn’t the only reason he kept it secret. He was also very interested in the book from the moment he saw its cover.

“A completely new language system. Could it be an alien language?”

As luck would have it, Sebastian was a linguist.

He loved languages. So, from that day, Sebastian started to study the strange language in the book.

To be honest, Sebastian didn’t think he could understand the language by himself. Languages are very hard to learn. Even with many smart people working together, it’s almost impossible to understand everything perfectly.

But then, he looked at the *end* of the book. When he saw what was written there, Sebastian’s breath caught in his throat.

“…What is this?”

Before the end, the book told a long story. Sebastian didn’t understand the story yet. But the *end* of the book seemed to be a guide to understanding the language itself.

It seemed like the book was *meant* to be understood by people who *didn’t* know the language. This thought made Sebastian shiver.

From that moment, Sebastian was hooked. He spent all his time trying to learn the language and understand the end part of the book.

Sebastian had smart friends who could help him. But he wanted to figure out the book by himself. He wanted it to be *his* discovery.

Years passed. It was hard work, even with the language guide at the end. But slowly, Sebastian started to understand some words and sentences.

At that time, Sebastian didn’t know what was coming. He didn’t know that the book contained things that people in today’s world would find unbelievable.

The book’s title:

[In Commemoration of the Great Hero’s Achievements.]

It was an exciting title.

As he understood more sentences, Sebastian read the book. Years went by quickly as he read.

‘Author, Henry Albert.’

Scritch.

He turned the page.

He turned page after page. He spent years reading the book.

[In the Salamander Continent where we live, there existed a great hero. We are all striving not to forget his existence, and I, as someone who has directly experienced the great hero’s life, wish to leave a record of him, even if only in the form of a book.]

Scritch.

[He was born as the eldest son of the Dimitri Barony. His family was known in the northeast of the country. But Cairo was a weak country, so nobody cared about what he did. This was the start of the hero’s journey. It began when he fought the Blood Fangs, who were hurting the people in his land…]

Scritch.

[Then came the Cairo Civil War. Marquis Benedict’s entire army was destroyed. It was a terrible defeat. King Daniel Cairo couldn’t stop the war himself. But he decided to trust the hero. Because of this trust, the hero defeated the rebels. Many people died in that battle. Blood seemed to flow like a river. Even in the south, people had seen his power. Now, everyone knew what kind of man he was. He never forgave his enemies. Like the city of Barco, which was destroyed in one night, anyone who opposed him would be completely destroyed…]

Scritch.

[Nobody expected it. This hero, from a small town, declared war on Valhalla and Chronos. These were the two strongest countries in the land. I believed in him, but almost no one else thought he could win. But he proved them wrong. He even cut off the head of the Emperor of Valhalla. This showed everyone how powerful he was…]

Scritch.

[Emperor Alexander was dead. The powerful ruler was gone. It seemed impossible to defeat him, but the hero did it. But even then, there was no peace. The Demon Realm was a constant threat. Demons were always watching, wanting to destroy the human world. Even with Alexander gone, humans were still in danger. Then, one day, the hero announced his plan. He would go to the Demon Realm and conquer it himself.]

The more pages he turned, the more wrinkles appeared on Sebastian’s face.

At first, Sebastian thought he was learning about a new world. But more and more, the book seemed like a fantasy story. It just didn’t seem real.

The book talked about magic, special powers called ‘aura,’ monsters, and demons that killed people. It was all like a dream.

Almost ten years passed before Sebastian finally reached the last page of the book.

[The world has regained peace. It was all thanks to his achievements, but he suddenly disappeared from the world. The reason I am recording his life in a book is not only to commemorate his great achievements. The Saintess said that he exists somewhere beyond dimensions. I, Henry Albert, will spread his great achievements beyond dimensions, and if anyone confirms the contents of this book, remember this. If he exists in that world. Kneel down and bow your head. If you enter his fold, you will be granted complete peace, but the moment you antagonize him, you will face an overwhelming destruction. And I earnestly ask one thing.]

Beyond the book, he spoke to someone.

Henry Albert’s pen, pressing the letters deeply, conveyed everyone’s wishes.

[Please guide us to your world through this book. We still remember him and wish to be his people. Finally, his name is…]

The last part.

The moment he confirmed the most important part, Sebastian’s expression twisted.

[The Great Hero #$@#@#$#@$da.]

His name was damaged.

10 years of time. It was futile.

Sebastian failed to find out his name, and even if he had found out, he thought this was a well-crafted fantasy novel.

Some famous fantasy novels create their own languages. This book seemed to do the same.

The book appearing out of nowhere showed it was special. But after ten years, Sebastian started to wonder if the story in the book was actually real.

He took the book and went out into the street.

He decided to show the book to his linguist friends. He wanted to prove that his ten years of work had meant something.

Just then, the ground shook. *Rumble!* A voice boomed in the sky: ‘[Humans, listen!]’ It was the start of the Great Cataclysm. The world changed forever. It became like hell.

A powerful being, unlike anything anyone had ever seen, appeared. It changed everything. Many, many people died in this first Cataclysm.

Sebastian held the book tightly and survived the disaster. But even after it was over, he was still in shock. He couldn’t believe what had happened.

What was happening? Why was this terrible thing happening to humanity? Even though they had seen the Cataclysm with their own eyes, people from the old world, just twenty years ago, couldn’t understand this new reality.

Then, in the middle of all this chaos, new people appeared. They were called ‘Awakened Ones’ or ‘Hunters.’ Some of them were even more special, called ‘Inheritors’ or ‘Chosen Ones.’ They had amazing powers.

The world was changing completely. As everything was becoming new and different, Sebastian heard something amazing.

“I have inherited the power of Chris, the Flash of Dimitri.”

Inheritors. They spoke of new powers.

For example, Samuel, a very strong Hunter from Spain, said his power came from someone named ‘Chris.’ He showed incredible power in battles.

The amazing thing was, Sebastian *knew* about Chris.

In Henry Albert’s book, he wrote about people who followed the hero. He mentioned Chris, ‘the Flash of Dimitri,’ and Kevin, ‘the Fiend of Dimitri.’ When Sebastian saw videos of Samuel fighting, he realized it wasn’t just luck. It was connected to the book.

And it wasn’t just Samuel. More and more ‘Inheritors of Dimitri’ started appearing. Most of them were just normal people, but their powers showed that ‘Dimitri’ was a real place, not just a story.

Sebastian felt a cold fear. He stared at the book, his mind spinning. ‘Could it *all* be real?’ he whispered.

Henry Albert’s record. His existence. He could no longer deny it.

Was it just a coincidence? He got the book ten years before the Cataclysm. And the Cataclysm started *right* when he finished understanding the book’s language.

And by chance, *he* was the one who got the book. He was someone who could understand languages.

Everything made sense. It felt like a message from God. Sebastian wasn’t religious, but he wasn’t against religion either. He was somewhere in the middle. But now, he felt so strongly, he couldn’t help but believe in God.

“Oh God,” Sebastian whispered. The book… no, it was like a Bible. It said…

The book said this hero had united all humans. He had defeated Emperor Alexander when Alexander tried to take over the whole land. And when the Demon Realm became a threat, the hero bravely went to the Demon Realm. He even conquered it, which seemed impossible for humans to do.

Sebastian thought, ‘It’s the same situation now. This hero can deal with the Absolute Being. He can save this chaotic world, just like before.’

Sebastian’s belief grew stronger and stronger. He completely believed in the hero. But there was one problem. He needed something first.

Did the hero even exist in *this* world? And if not, how could they bring him here? They needed his name. That was the most important thing.

But surprisingly, this new world gave Sebastian an answer.

“Restoration magic is possible.”

Magicians. They manifested special abilities.

They could control fire and wind easily. And they could do things that seemed impossible, just by using magic.

One magician could use ‘restoration magic.’ Sebastian quickly asked him for help. The magician stood in front of the book and started to gather his magic.

Whoooosh. Magic power rose.

The magician was sweating a lot. It was still early in the Cataclysm, and this magician wasn’t very strong yet. He had to use all his power just to fix a few letters.

Time flowed slowly.

Sebastian watched, his heart pounding. It felt like time was moving very slowly.

Tick-tock. The second hand moved.

After five minutes, the damaged letters started to glow. *Boom!* They lifted off the page and floated in the air. Then, they twisted together and moved back into place, shining brightly.

*Flash!* The room became very bright. Sebastian had to close his eyes for a moment. When the light faded, he saw something amazing. It was a moment that would change the world.

“Ah.”

The name was restored. The great hero. The name that the entire human race desperately longed for in the world where Henry Albert lived.

“Maron!” Sebastian cried out.

Not Roman. Maron Dimitri. Sebastian knelt down in front of the book.

This was the beginning. The Maron Order was created, and it would help the world for the next twenty years. Maron Dimitri was their leader, and people hoped he could save them.
