After the war, nothing interesting happened. That Leon decided to build a house in a remote area and then only fight when monsters tied to kill him. He didn't have any reason to worry about the situation of the world. Why struggle so much? Those who he loved died, and all the people he knew probably had the same destiny… what was the point?
Due to those actions, that Leon only saw other humans very often. The more years passed, the fewer humans he would meet. To make matters worse, he understood that mana made his body stronger… stronger to the point where he could live a lot more. Still, that wasn't a good thing for him. The years passed, and then Earth finally reached the second stage of assimilation. The monsters were much more troublesome than before, but despite that, Leon managed to survive even though he only used his skills during the fights against the monsters and never tried to train or learn new spells. He wanted to die… and he got what he wanted when Earth reached the third stage of assimilation. A hellhound dungeon appeared near his home, and that Leon died while being eater by a swarm of hellhounds.
"Is that it?" Leon asked in shock. "So incredibly pathetic…"
Since that guy was basically him with different experiences, Leon felt the right to criticize him to his heart's content. Despite all setbacks, Leon always moved forward and tried to improve. He hated more than anything being a spectator in his life, which was one of the many reasons why Leon wanted power.
"This isn't good, you know," Leon suddenly heard Serena's voice. "You can't have a life like that… you need to become even better than before instead of worse."
Leon frowned when he heard that, but in the end, he didn't have much time to think about it because the next movie started… The same things happened again, Leon was on a plane, returned home, and reunited with his family, but he was tense because things could be different despite all that. It was hard to imagine something worse than being devoured by monsters, but perhaps something equally cruel would happen to his family. However, this time… they didn't die. Even Amanda managed to leave Phoenix before the place could be nuked.
"So… no matter what, the city is destined to face total destruction?" Leon said bitterly. "This is shit… why this has to…"
Complaining wouldn't change a thing, so Leon decided to shut up and just observe. Alongside his family and some friends that managed to escape, Leon began to work as the new camp leader. Hector wasn't there. He never found Sasha or Betty… but despite all that, Leon worked hard and managed to recover Las Vegas in just one year. In the blink of an eye, that city became the city in America that had the most survivors and was prospering, considering that new survivors appeared every day.
"I thought I didn't have any leadership abilities, but…" Leon frowned. "Well, it looks like I can do it if I try."
Although Leon's power was thanks to tomes, and he couldn't teach other survivors how to use magic, he still found other ways to strengthen them. Hunting together was one of the many methods he used. Even though causing wounds wasn't pleasant, he also leveled up the resistances of all survivors.
