"Human?"
The elderly man with white hair and beard frowned, looking at the lizard officer before him.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Master Sage, at least that's what he claims to be."
The lizard officer lowered his head, responding quietly. After hearing the lizard officer's report, the old man furrowed his brows tightly, pondering silently.
This elderly man before him, with all-white hair and beard, is the last surviving human in the world—or rather, once human.
His name is Swan Kandel, once a member of human heroes. He perished during the battle with the Earth God, but before dying, he used a secret technique to place a curse on himself, thereby resurrecting as one of The Fallen. Afterward, during the nightmare-like disaster of the beast invasion, Swan and Lord Black Candle created the floating islands to escape the catastrophe.
Thus, this Grand Sage also holds an advisory position within the Winged Guard, and as the sage who saved the people, he is respected by all.
