Chapter 2:

The Hunt for the Night Witch

Rebirth of Science: Empire of Hope


Night was falling. In the distance, the faint hum of an aircraft could be heard… then silence returned once more. Inside the Central Intelligence Service of the Kingdom of Ostania, another emergency meeting was underway. A mysterious figure had appeared in the Forbidden Forest — a place no living soul dared to tread — known only by the name Night  Witch.

This unknown individual acted solely under the cover of darkness. He appeared out of nowhere to rescue mages and knights from danger, neutralizing attackers with advanced and incomprehensible technology. No one had ever seen his face. His methods defied the natural laws of this world. That’s why the kingdom had mobilized its spies, shadow trackers, and elite units to find him.


And at that very moment, the one behind the myth — Moris, a former military engineer — had already turned the ruins of an ancient academy deep in the forest into a secret scientific laboratory. Using the knowledge from his past life, he had activated a miniature power station, a drone workshop, and a chemical lab.


His first bomber, modeled after the B-29 — invisible at night and undetectable by magic — had made him a living legend. Moris had used it for the first time to save a group of knights surrounded by goblins. With pinpoint precision, he struck from above, leaving no trace, then vanished into the shadows. The tale spread through the land like a fable

— “He’s no sorcerer... but something far more dangerous. This might be science,” said the royal council’s magic advisor, astonished.

The kingdom was shaken to its core. They had long believed the forest to be a barren wasteland haunted only by monsters and myths. But now, something was moving from within its heart. His aircraft evaded magical detection systems. Scouts couldn’t see it with their eyes. This was a technology unknown to their world.


— “We must find him. If we can harness his technology, we could conquer the world,” the king declared.


Meanwhile, Moris was flipping through ancient manuscripts in the crumbled academy library. Some of them hinted that elemental magic actually followed rules and patterns — suggesting that magic itself had a scientific basis.

— “This isn’t a magical world… This is a forgotten cradle of science,” Moris thought to himself.

He made up his mind to begin a new project — to create an advanced, autonomous combat drone. But this time, he knew one thing for certain: seekers were on their way.

Thus, the question “Who is the Night Witch?” sent a wave of fear and mystery sweeping across the land…
