Valhalla, the palace that appears in Norse mythology. Valkyries guided the souls of warriors who died honorably in battles here. It was also known as a utopia ruled by Odin, where gods and legendary heroes gathered.

The image of Valhalla in Paradise was not much different from its origin. Looking back, the way Valhalla made its debut was atypical. They attacked the auction house owned by Royal Pattaya, a longstanding organization of the city, and proceeded to destroy them completely. As if that wasnt enough, they declared war against Evas organization alliance.

With this incident as the starting point, they led humanity, which was on the verge of collapse, to an advantageous position. Then, by ultimately defeating the Parasites in the final war, their Paradise liberation movement reached the pinnacle.

No one could deny that Valhalla stood at the center of the process of Paradises liberation. So when Seol Jihu stepped down from the position of Valhallas representative, many people were confused and worried.

What would happen to Valhalla from now on? Would it be able to prosper just as it did before?

It was a reasonable doubt. After all, Valhalla was synonymous with Seol Jihu. That was just how far-reaching his influence was.

Kim Hannah rose to the position of representative under such pressure. And what could be considered both a long and short amount of time went by. It would be a lie to say there were no troubles. However, most of the doubts that surrounded Valhalla vanished completely.

Upon becoming the representative, Kim Hannah founded a company on Earth and grew it aggressively. When the company rose to the radar, the two worlds showed a synergistic effect and grew exponentially.

The power of money could not be ignored in any society. A business needed to spend money, not on personal matters but professional matters.

Kim Hannah was faithful to this practice. She improved employee welfare internally and focused on community benefits externally. As a result, more talents came to Valhalla, and their fame only went up.

And so, Valhalla was standing strong despite Seol Jihu stepping down. No, it was doing even better than before. Its members even attested that things were a lot better internally than when Seol Jihu was in charge.

Kim Hannah thought so as well. Of course, she knew the difference between the past and the current state of Paradise, and she definitely wasnt feeling a silly sense of superiority from it. In fact, Kim Hannah had vehemently opposed Seol Jihu stepping down from the role of Valhalals representative.

[What? Youre stepping down? Are you crazy?]

[You came this far after going through so much!]

[Im not telling you to work nonstop. The war is over, so its not like I dont understand about you wanting to achieve your dream.]

[But think about the future. You can achieve whatever you want if you just wish for it. Even becoming an emperor wouldnt be impossible. Is opening a ramen shop really that important? Enough to give up on everything else?]

Seol Jihu responded to her questions as such:

[Its not just because of my dream. After defeating the Parasite Queen I just felt my story, the story of Seol Jihu, ended. Thats all.]

[The war is over. Paradise no longer needs a hero.]

[Valhalla is the same. The leader that Valhalla needs from now on isnt a hero or an ambitious conqueror. It needs an entrepreneur.]

[So take good care of Valhalla and Paradise from now on, okay?]

If there was one thing that Kim Hannah remembered from that day, it was Seol Jihu saying that Paradise no longer needed a hero. This was also what made Kim Hannah give up trying to convince him. Then again, she wasnt in any position to convince him anyway.

Thinking back, the reason she opposed the idea so much was that she was probably confused. With Sinyoungs fall, she had gotten her revenge, and her personal aspiration was also achieved with Valhallas rise to the top.

She was simply confused because she did not know how to proceed in this new era. Thankfully, Kim Hannah found a new goal.

Seol Jihu was, without a doubt, a legend of Paradise. Kim Hannah also wanted to become a legend.

Going beyond living up to Seol Jihus expectations, she wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with equal qualifications no matter how long it took. Of course, she knew such a thing was near impossible. But she at least wanted to leave her name in the history of Paradise.

Kim Hannah thought this was possible. Though she was living in different times, she still had the opportunity to do this. The position of Valhallas representative had value. It was only a matter of how.

That said, one question remained. Was this Kim Hannahs personal aspiration or ambition? And if it was ambition, was it truly essential for Paradise and Valhalla?

Kim Hannah was overlooking this critical point.
