I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game

As dawn passed and morning just began, Aider and I climbed the eastern wall of Crossroad together.

“You already know why your achievements are so great, my lord, but…” Aider’s voice was much quieter now, so I had to listen more closely than usual.

“It’s because you continued to walk the difficult path.”

Hearing him constantly praise and call me great was honestly a bit embarrassing.

I awkwardly scratched the back of my head. “You don’t have to keep flattering me like that.”

“Hehe. I’m merely stating the facts.”

“I just stumbled along, taking one step at a time on the path in front of me.”

“But you never stopped looking at the stars above,” Aider whispered as we stood atop the wall.

“That’s why you’ve reached this place.”
