Choi Haejoo, now Rohan Lansonfree, b6e544baec stayed awake all night. Rohan was constantly a5f0ad82c3 thinking of routes ccc865d140 where he might 727e65e83d not die. In the main endings and 099a5b6e01 martial arts-related endings where Rohan 41eec27890 appears, he always dies.2c92de411cc931b6

Especially the “true ending,” which was the hardest for Haejoo to conquer, required Rohan Lansonfree’s death.f136ebad39e91cba

The Emperor Ending.e5e66ea894053917

Parma Redicia, who becomes 022054067c the new emperor after 65d4282627 wiping out the royal 02b92756d7 family, succumbs to the 456f8224c9 madness latent in his 4d13b48a91 nature and becomes the d4ea29ec3f worst tyrant.0372eda7206e0e0e

Daren opposes Parma as part 686887c85a of the “revolutionary army.” Daren’s 8d6a1fcd5b father, the “protagonist,” gathers forces cd09df228d through the fame he built 4f3c11cee9 as a hero in the e36fad4cbb past.1b34d453bc03e2c2

But as time 75d6f4bb10 passed and imperial 96d99880e8 power solidified, problems b3e5bd79aa arose. Redicia began to monopolize 888a517ceb all interests.
