Connection to Tomb Raider King

## Introduction

It was revealed by the author of both series, SAN.G, who revealed on two of his blogs that two of his most popular series are actually connected.

If anyone wants to read the blogs, the first one's link is [] ans the second one's link is [].
Also see The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero Wiki.

## Why he revealed it so late?

The author didn't wanted to reveal this because in the web novel market, most of the prequels and worldview-connected novels do not receive good reviews and are also negative and because he was afraid that prejudice might arise.

And since he serialized both of the series on the same day in real time, he couldn't solve many of the things he had envisioned, and when he actually wrote it, the tone didn't match, and there were a lot of parts that couldn't be solved smoothly.

The connected part appears at the end of the Novel, so it doesn't really matter if the reader enjoyed it as a separate story.

## The Connections

The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero is a novel conceived and written as a prequel to Tomb Raider King.

It was created because he thought it would be fun to write about the person who created the world view of relics, so he started writing with various ideas.

Actually, that's why the last scene of The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero came out earlier than the first.

### First Blog

#### Relics vs Holy Spirits

In fact, this part was deliberately put in place from the beginning, but the gaze and evaluation of the Tomb Raider King and Disaster-Class Hero and how the main characters are looking at both the Holy Spirits and the relics are almost the same.

The Relics from Tomb Raider King are beings that gives power to humans, but instead of giving power, it sucks human's vitality and causes harm. (The purpose is to harass humans)

vs

The Holy Spirits from Disaster-Class Hero are being who gives power to humans, but deliberately tolerates the existence of monsters by sucking up tribute, devotion, and experience instead of giving them power. (Human Enemy)

Both of the main characters do not like the beings who gives power, but treat them as parasites or bugs to suck human blood.

This is the part that the author was trying to put a hint from a worldview because the Holy Spirits will become a relics in the future.

​There are several reasons why Lee Geon, the main character of Disaster-Class Hero, distrusted the Holy Spirits, even being one of them.

This is because the saints chosen by the Holy Spirits were extremely greedy and greedy human beings.

SAN.G thought that if they had really been sent for the purpose of saving mankind, they would not have chosen them. In fact, even after that, he noticed that the Holy Spirits came to gain rather than save mankind.

#### Relics = Holy Spirits?

To put it in a nutshell... Because the Holy Spirits of Disaster-Class Hero crossed the line properly because they couldn't suck the backs of humans, the protagonist got mad and turned all the gods into relics... Yes...even if there are saints. A personality that uses the immortal attribute of being reborn at any time (gaesagi) as it is and turns it into a relic.......

Anyway, even if the gods are reborn, the relic system is what changed the order of the universe so that they can be reborn as tools. (Like the 3 Principles of Robots, beat the rules)

Yes. For that reason, the original relics were only high-class relics. From the lower class to the higher class.

Roughly speaking, if you look at the relic level, is it roughly equivalent to a god level or to a legend level. (because a human hero or legend can be a lower level god)

For that reason, of course, there were only high-level relics that were sucked into the cradle at first, but as the relic system went on, countless stories and memories were gradually created as low-level relics.

So, what many people have been wondering about is what are the perverted relics (?) like those of the gang-so-chan... Are they gods too?

This is open to many interpretations... but the relic system itself is an adaptation of the gods' belief system.

Conditions for the Birth of the Gods -> To be remembered, spoken, or worshiped

Conditions for the birth of relics -> To be remembered and spoken by countless people

Both are the same in that they are memory and worship. That is, to become a relic means to be deified in itself.

....In that sense, lower-level relics = Disaster-Class Hero characters, who doesn't have a name? (Actually, they are just those who are treated as relic bombs by the Seo, but.......)

#### Resurrection Spirits= Relics of the Tomb Raider King

If it's the same person, it's the same person.

The Olympian gods and the Enead gods of remnant spirits appeared in the Tomb Raider King.

The great gods... Cheon Myeong-ju (Zeus) and Tong-cheon-ju (Odin) came out, but they were treated as minor characters and suffered from the character's personality...

Ra, the final boss of Disaster-Class Hero, was eaten by crows in the first place and could not come out.......

Set, Osiris and Anubis, who appeared as the lord of Enead, was tamed as dogs by the protagonist. (The set in Disaster-Class Hero where he eats chicken made by Lee Geon and becomes disillusioned with man-made food is rightly intended as a kind of double-tracking device. The reason why in the Tomb Raider King is obsessed with chicken. And Osiris is also not interested in women in Disaster-Class Hero. I tried to express it as, but this is also a kind of renegade reversal device because in the Tomb Raider King is obsessed with idols. Anubis tries to fulfill his mission both in the Disaster-Class Hero and in the Tomb Raider King, but he gets caught by a vicious protagonist and gets eaten up. It’s sad that it doesn’t seem to have been conveyed well.)

Of course, the gods who were passed down through the cradle and became relics have no memory. I can't remember this.

So, the readers can see them as the same person, or actually see them as a different person. SAN.G didn't put a lot of weight on it on purpose so that you can enjoy it as a separate story.

However, as a back story, I
SAN.G remembered only one person, Ra, which was eaten by crows (?).

Lee Ra escapes from the cradle and comes back to Disaster-Class Hero's Egan and tries to escape to kill Egan. So, in order to kill the death and life cradle, the memories of the gods who have become relics are restored and a battle is started. In the process, life dies, and in the Tomb Raider King, only Death survives, and the Majesty is chosen. Although Hwa-Ryun-Ju gathered the Daesung Gods and destroyed the majesty system itself created by Lee Geon and looked down on it, it was eaten by the crows who were originally from the Hwansu Gods....

This part cannot be included in the main story because it is a story between the two works, not the story of the king of robbers or the story of the spirits. So, it seems like the readers can simply look at it as a rear setting.

Originally, the Tomb Raider King crow was scheduled to appear in the second part of Disaster-Class Hero.

However, the response wasn't as good as SAN.G thought (?), so he deleted the entire chapter related to the Tomb Raider King. (Ch of spirit gods and the Tomb Raider King have been deleted altogether...)

#### Death and Life Cradles

Although it appears in the second half of Disaster-Class Hero and Tomb Raider King, it is the <Majesty's Cradle> that relics or deities of Life and Death that Lee Geon had in Part 1 and Part 2.

It is the core relic that allows all Holy Spirits to be born as relics.

And both Life and Death follow the main character Disaster-Class Hero, and in particular, Death receives the name 'Jun' from Egan.

And this death is Chaos, the last member of the tomb robbers from the Tomb Raider King, and the true leader of the relics.

Death did not acknowledge the existence of the Majesty (King of all Relics) because he liked Egan so much, and although the relics are holy spirits, they care for them because they were created by Egan anyway.

So, they hate the majesty who magnify their relics and do not even recognize them as their owners. (At first, SAN.G thought there was only one owner).

However, I met the Seo and recognized him as the only Majesty. Of course, only Death knows whether he thought he was the only one who could rule the relics because he resembled his master, or whether he was made the master for some other reason...

Anyway, Life and Death, which became the cradles, move on to the worldview of the Tomb Raider King, but since there is a difference in the flow of time, Egan's world and death and life are different in time. So, Jun, who appeared as a child in Disaster-Class Hero, has grown considerably in the worldview of Tomb Raider King. This Death continues to miss Egan while serving Majesty in the worldview of the Tomb Raider King.

And Traces of this Geon from the last part of Disaster-Class Hero, which many people have been curious about.

Death found in the worldview of the Tomb Raider King, 'Traces of Geon', is the protagonist of the King of Robbers.

Life completes Geon's orders with death, but is killed by Hwa-ryunju Ra, who rebelled in the cradle.

Death deeply regrets that fact, suffers from it, and tries to revive life somehow. We didn't get along so well at Disaster-Class Hero (?) .......SAN.G guessed that he is old enough.

And as it appears in the Gaiden of the Tomb Raider King, this Life is reincarnated as a Rope. The Godhead of life itself is possessed by Death.
