Synopsis
In the wake of the Angel War that ravaged the world centuries ago, the Holy Angels emerged triumphant, wresting control from their longstanding adversaries. The majority of the defeated fallen angels perished in the cataclysmic conflict, their presence vanquished from the realm. However, ancient legends whispered of a mystical force capable of harnessing the essence of the fairies, a force that could potentially aid in the resurgence of the fallen angels. Now, in the present day, the Holy Angels set their sights on purifying the vast and forsaken land that is Lost Continent. Within this lawless expanse, where the concept of a rule of law has been supplanted by the dominion of wealth, three mighty corporations have risen to prominence: Jackson Enterprises, Taira Trading Company, and Miguel Trading Company. Each corporation exerts its influence and vies for power, weaving intricate webs of manipulation and intrigue. Enter Ethan, a young man whose life is shrouded in mystery. Gifted with unparalleled swordsmanship skills from a tender age, Ethan's past is mired in darkness. At the age of eighteen, burdened by the weight of an alleged patricidal act committed under unknown circumstances, he abandons his village and embarks on a perilous journey that leads him to the sprawling city. There, his reputation as a skilled and merciless assassin begins to take root, attracting the attention of the city's influential enterprises. As Ethan's journey unfolds, his path intertwines with a diverse cast of allies and comrades. United by fate, they find themselves thrust into the center of a grand narrative that will shape the destiny of the world. Together, they will face the resurgence of both the Holy Angels and the Fallen Angels, forces that threaten to plunge the realm into chaos once more.

Chapter 1 - Shadows in the Tunnel

The rain-soaked entrance to the underground tunnel was a gateway to a world of secrets and shady dealings. Victor, an experienced weapons dealer in his forties, walked into the dimly lit passage. He wore a well-fitted suit that concealed his true intentions. Tonight, he had an important meeting to attend. He planned to sell a stolen weapon design from Jackson Enterprises, establishing himself as a major player in the criminal underworld.

As Victor looked around the tunnel, he noticed a young woman standing in the flickering light. He approached her with a sly smile, trying to provoke a reaction. "Hey there, sweetheart. Want to play a little game and come with me?" he taunted, enjoying her discomfort.

Fear filled the woman's face, and she quickly walked away, seeking safety from the menacing presence. Unfazed by her departure, Victor's attention shifted to another person nearby—a mysterious individual leaning against the tunnel wall, casually smoking a cigarette.

It was Ethan Hawke, a renowned assassin known for his deadly skills. His blue-gray hair caught the dim light, and his red and black clothes added to his enigmatic aura. Ethan was driven by one thing above all else: money. He had become a skilled freelancer, accepting contracts from powerful bosses and wealthy individuals to solve problems discreetly. Morals were not a priority in his line of work.

Unaware of Ethan's true identity, Victor approached him, attracted by the nearby source of fire. "Can I borrow a light?" Victor asked with a charming smile, reaching out his hand towards the glowing flame. Ethan, with a cigarette in his mouth, coolly observed Victor before offering the requested light.

In that moment, Ethan's perceptive eyes studied Victor, sensing a hidden darkness and ulterior motives. Their interaction carried an air of intrigue—a dance between predator and prey. However, Victor failed to recognize the looming threat that Ethan posed. Ethan was an assassin driven by profit, unburdened by loyalties.

Unbeknownst to Victor, Ethan had recently received a mission from Jackson Enterprises—the very company from which Victor had stolen the weapon design. The stolen design was a missing piece in Ethan's plan. He had to retrieve it and collect payment from the highest bidder. As he took a final drag from his cigarette, a smirk appeared on Ethan's face. He knew that Jackson Enterprises had secrets concealed behind their public image.

The rain grew stronger, enveloping the tunnel in mist. Oblivious to the impending clash awaiting him, Victor continued on his way. Meanwhile, Ethan, cigarette in hand, contemplated the intricate web of power and deception that engulfed the city.
