Chapter 388: The Time He Waited And Took (1)
In the beginning, there was no one else but him. He stood alone and was whole, so he could endure eternity alone. However, being able to do something didn’t mean he had to do it. Just as he needed nothing else to be himself, he thought he didn’t need to be alone either.
To become two, he had to be split, so he chose to be cleaved. He forged parts of himself into a greatsword and used it to cut himself. The lower part of the long, straight sword sank and became the earth, while the upper part rose and became the sky.
Marking the birth of heaven and earth, people named the moment of that first strike the Sun of Sword.

Sylvia, formerly known as Lady Goldencup of Sormwin Academy, was now serving the Death King Clan as the chief steward and a gardener to the Garden of Withered Flowers. Today, she was sleeping late again.
“Hhhaaa... Hmm... Did you see that... Patriarch—no, Kim Gong-Ja... This is... my true power...”
It was probably because she was having a happy dream. Now, even her family name became blurry in her head. Was it Evanail or Evinail? Dreams were the only escape this world offered her, but this bizarre, nightmarish world made by the cruel demon god who had ruined her life didn’t let her enjoy such a sweet dream.
“Lady Sylvia.”
The voice that woke Sylvia from her deep sleep belonged to a gentle-looking woman. She had once been the Immortal Dragon Emperor, the Goddess of Protection, the Aegim Empire’s Holy Protector Sword, and Shiny. Her name was Hwia and her loooooong work experience spanned across many unrelated fields.
She was still doing many unrelated works. Estelle—the enemy who hated the nation she had founded and once ended her world—often drank tea with her. Hwia also played the very classic Smash Brothers with Kim Yul, her former partner who had lived a life that could be titled I, Bullied At School, Was Transmigrated To a Different World And Now Live The Life Of A God Slayer With The Overpowered Skill Of Abandoning My Memories.
In any case, as usual, she was doing many unrelated works. One of those tasks was waking Sylvia, who often overslept.
Hwia gently shook Sylvia. “Lady Sylvia, it’s time to get up.”
