For he knew that Numinu was the sacred relic of the Barbarian Tribe to slay darkness, and as someone who had abandoned his kingdom and his people, he believed that he was not worthy of holding it. All he could do was to repent for his past sins silently by help rebuilding the kingdom. But it did not take long until his endless devotion toward his people saw the light. The Barbarians started praising Gau's display of diligence and truthfulness, and one by one, the Barbarians recognized him as their leader Numinu, who was watching over Gau ever since the beginning, launched itself far upwards the sky and incarnated before Gau. It was the day Gau became the true king of the Barbarians.

Hero's Backstory

Gau is a powerful warrior from the Barbarian kingdom. Whenever he swung his twin axes, a bloodbath would follow. As a warrior, he was feared for his peerless ferocity. However, he suddenly disappeared for 10 years. When he returned, he was a completely changed man. His violent barbarian tendencies were all gone, even when others criticized him. Instead, he now faces them with smiles and jolly laughter. The kind, warm gaze he now shows to children and animals is especially surprising.
