Raymond was a commoner on the border between the Nolan Empire and the Beastman Empire, but unlike others, he owned a piece of land.
Though small, it was enough to sustain his family.
But bad news often comes unexpectedly.

Though he escaped and saved his life in time, he lost everything—wealth and food no longer belonged to him.
Raymond was forced to flee with others from the village; their final destination was Green City, a thousand-year-old metropolis.
Legend had it that every Frost Month, nobles in Green City would distribute bread and food, and it was the only place across the southern border that offered a glimmer of hope.
But the long distance on foot took too much time.
