Chapter 331: Book 25 (1)
Even when I write stories that could be plausible, I base them on history, ensuring thorough research. The continuous uproar caused by ‘possible’ stories is understandable to some extent.
The problem is that all these stories turned out to be true, and I ended up facing baseless accusations, such as after Cecily’s devilization. So, I wrote freely with a detached mindset.
However, ‘myth’ is a bit different. Myth is, as the word suggests, a myth and is an ancient story beyond the imagination of mortals. Greek and Roman myths, Norse myths, the Book of Revelation, and so on.
Myth is the first philosophy and the oldest philosophy that has been passed down to later generations. It has been interpreted in various ways and used in numerous creative works.
Of course, this explanation is limited to the myths of my past life. Myth is just folklore and not ‘history’ that actually existed. On the other hand, the myths of this world are closer to ‘history.’
The past of Luminous, the God of Light, and Mora, the Goddess of Darkness, is recorded, as is their mother, Harte, the Goddess of Nature. Although there is room for various interpretations like in my past life, their history is clearly real.
Thus, denying the myth is equivalent to denying their very existence. However, because it is such ancient history, scholars often have differing opinions. This is similar to actual history. History is objective but is recorded subjectively, and myths are no different.
In that sense, let’s examine the origins of each race, specifically the elves. Elves are a race blessed by the gods, with immense potential from birth. They can freely use magic and have several times higher mana affinity than other races. Truly living up to the phrase ‘blessed by the gods,’ they established the first civilization in a world overrun by monsters.
So, how did the origin of the elves come to be? Unlike the demons, whose origin is the devils, the origin of the elves is the angels. Known for their white wings and beautiful appearance, angels, according to myth, serve by the side of the gods and sometimes become mighty warriors on the front lines.
