Countless notification sounds brushed past her ears. Rosha, standing still in her place, enjoyed the afterglow for a moment with a soft smile.

“This… is over.”

The task that had tormented her for so long was finally over. She had lost an arm during the battle, but it didn’t matter.

Because now, she can finally return home.

“Rosha! Are you okay?”

“Hey, did she lose an arm? Hurry up and find it!”

Glancing to the side, she saw her comrades, who had fought alongside her, rushing over. Rosha waved with the one hand she had left.

Hello, everyone.

I am Roshanak Aper. I’ve been through this world for 18 long years, and after countless hardships, I’m returning home.

With a bittersweet smile, she turned her head to the blue window that appeared in front of her.

After clearing the final trial, you have choices:

1. Return home

2. Proceed further

(Time remaining for selection: 30 seconds)

Bright golden light and cool silver light hovered over the second choice.

The ‘Lantern’, which always suggested the best choice, and her ever-present guiding spirit, seemed to want her to proceed further.

But…

“Are you kidding me? Proceed further?”

Without a second thought, Rosha pressed ‘Return home.’

Why would she choose something else after coming all this way for this?

She regretted leaving without saying goodbye, but she felt if she missed this opportunity, she might never get back.

She decided to leave all her regrets here.

Soon, her vision turned white.

She took a deep breath of the last air of this world and closed her eyes.

Finally, she was returning.

Home.
