"He who has lived at the lowest rung of society shall shine light upon all the world." That was Radiance's supposed first declaration.

"The stories and miracles of Radiance are nothing but a patchwork of tales from the heroes who once defended the continent. In truth, Radiance was a thief who stole their power and ran—and a petty man, at that."

"And… he was also a reincarnated soul from my homeland—Earth."
