To be honest, Steven felt his fate was quite tragic.
The family's fortunes had declined since his father's generation, and by the time it reached him, it was virtually ruined.
All that remained was the title of "Descendant of a Legendary Explorer," but apart from sounding nice, it held no real value.
Even if some nobles would invite him to their homes to hear stories of his ancestors, it was only because of his identity, not out of any respect for him.
Steven was unwilling to accept this.
He didn't want to forever live in the shadow of his ancestor.
He wanted others to look at him for who he was, not anyone else.
But relying solely on his own efforts, he feared he would never reach the heights of his ancestor.
So, after much deliberation, he ultimately chose a shortcut.
Following the dreams of his childhood, he came here, hoping to inherit his ancestor's legacy.
As long as he could come out alive, he could become the second person after his ancestor!
