A new Hero named Van has appeared, and he's headed for Zoltan.

When Red, Rit, and Ruti learn of this new Hero they decide...to avoid him completely by leaving Zoltan for a little while on a vacation?! A confrontation with this unprecedented second savior of the world does sound like a lot of work, after all. But will they really be able to evade Van forever?
(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo
Ruti defeated the new Hero before he could cause too much damage. But rather than cool his ambitions, the loss leaves Van utterly obsessed with getting back at her! Now it's up to Red to safeguard the laid-back lifestyle he's created with his sister. Can he set this dangerous other Hero on the right path before it's too late?
(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo
After an intense battle, Red has finally managed to convince Van there's more to being a Hero than mindlessly following his Divine Blessing.

To find answers, the two delve into ancient elf ruins, where they come face-to-face with the truth about humanity's strongest blessing.??
(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo
The trouble with Van the Hero has finally passed, but Red's still got plenty to worry about.
