No one in the book earned the right to become a fighter just because they wielded a beautiful weapon. They must choose what they will use their energy for. What are you responsible for? and allowing anyone to walk beside them. This is the story of people who did not have a ready place to stand in the first place. But let's work together to create a space where others won't be so easily pushed aside.
The first chapter — The night the world lost its count of people.
The bell rang three times erratically before the thunder snapped.
A young boy, Aran, is trying to put a cog in a clock that his father forbids him from touching. He dropped it under the table and bent over. So I couldn't see the white light that trailed through the window. He only remembered the sound of glass breaking and the large hand pulling up the collar of his shirt. Before the veil falls overhead and the whole world turns to the smell of wet iron.
“Hold on to the hem of your shirt,” Dad said. “If your hand slips, call your name. Don't just call for help."
The command sounded so strange that the child remembered it better than his fear. People on the bridge shouted for help in unison. So many sounds collided with each other that no one knew where they were coming from. But when someone calls someone's name One face will always turn.
Many routes are far from Arun Village. A young man named Neram stood in front of the experimental door that had stopped working. In his hand was the traveler's account, which was covered in blood. He works on the registry and believes the numbers help people get their fair share. Tonight, the number on the account and the number of people passing through the door do not match. His wife is on the invisible side. and the voice from the communication device only asks if the balance has been confirmed or not.
Neram knew that if he opened the door without controlling his timing, Both sides may bear the brunt of the eruption. He asked for another moment to find out the real number. But the information from each checkpoint does not match. Names are spelled differently. Travelers do not have documents. And some officers filled in the amount their commander wanted instead of what they saw.
The door closed before he could choose. The light on the communicator went out and his wife's name was one of the fields marked Unknown. Neram read that channel every night for many years. Until I started hating things that didn't have an answer more than things that were definitely wrong.
He gathered knowledgeable people and created the White Seal Confederation from the inter-city aid network. Their first job was truly life-saving: arranging medicine, fixing doors, and tracking down missing people. People trusted the White Seal because it had arrived with rice and blankets. But one by one, regulations to prevent confusion became conditions for who deserved those things.
Those whose names were not read by the system were ordered to wait. Those with figures that do not match the fields in the form will be sent for further inspection. The questioner was called out for the delay in helping. Neram didn't wake up and want to harm the world. He only allowed some people to suffer. So that the part of the world they control seems more certain every year.
Eighteen years later On the bridge where father never returned Aran stands with a sword and receives wages from the same confederation. He was tired of being the poor guy who was asked to understand everything. and intends to complete the work as ordered without taking on the lives of others.
Then a girl placed a broken watch in front of him. I'd like to exchange it for a pass for Grandma.
The clock isn't running anymore. There was not enough price to buy anything in the checkpoint. and has no hidden power It only made Aran remember the hands of those who had repaired worthless things for people. He looked at the child, looked at the door, and knew that tonight he was standing in a place that one child might one day remember for the rest of his life.
The world did not change because a prophetic voice announced the Chosen One. The world began to change when one man returned his wages. Place yourself in the doorway. and said words that caused the nine people in the area to turn around.
“Who still has the strength? Let's help each other here first.”
Before dawn, the bridge was still incomplete. All the missing people have not been returned yet. And orders from the capital are still in effect. But on the table in the watch shop A book opened. The survivor began to write down his name to the woman holding the lantern. There is no box that forces you to write the value of your life in numbers.
This was not the night the darkness was defeated. It was the night the darkness found that people were beginning to remember each other's names.
The world after the night of the thunderstorm
The Night of the Thunder was a major rift in Year Zero of the book's timeline. The passage between regions and power layers is damaged. Some areas have changed conditions. Some lives change shape and many people are lost. Transfiguration does not indicate the goodness, evil, or worthiness of the affected person.
The main world connects Arun Village, Moon Valley, Fire Stone Land, Winter Peak, Thousand Year Jade Forest, Sun Oasis. Glowing Mist Pond Coral Islands, Lightning City Ruins, and the Purple Star Kingdom As for the ghost town in the story, it is a marginal area where the route and registration do not match. Minor places such as the Shadow Moving House or the Si Fak Gate Station. It is an extension of the world of fiction. This is not a confirmation of the current in-game map state.
A bond is an ability that occurs when the body, mind, object, or environment connects with the power after the sky is broken. Making important choices may allow the user to understand or open up that power. But goodness isn't auto-fuel. Users still need to train, check their limitations, and receive the results of their actions. Power does not decide right or wrong for the owner.
Power does not create infinite resources. Heat must be vented. The water must come from a certain source. A recovering body needs food. Protection has limits and tiredness must rest Magic therefore makes cooperation more meaningful. Instead, it makes ordinary skills worthless.
An echo is the portion of a sound, feeling, or event that is left behind. Not equal to the whole person Listening requires respecting boundaries. No character in the book brings back the deceased as desired or certifies that the missing person is still alive without evidence.
The White Seal Confederation is an organization that includes people who intend to help. one who follows habit Those who are afraid of losing their job and users of the system take advantage Fighting corporate wrongdoing does not automatically make every member an enemy. The united front must separate people from command and allow those who switch sides to testify in a verifiable manner.
The Center Stamping Machine was a project of Acharlekha Neram. Designed so that the gate and power network accept only one central register. It doesn't remove people from reality. But it deprives those who do not meet the criteria of the right to travel, receive power, and access essential structures. When life depends on these doors Being deleted from an account is therefore life-threatening.
The Arun Alliance was formed by those who survived the return of Arun Bridge. It is responsible for opening the route. Help the abandoned and preserve evidence to solve the reasons that cause people to flee. Members do not have to have the same weapons or the same beliefs. But you must reveal the risks, accept rejections, and verify orders. and do not demand forgiveness from the victim in order to preserve the image of the group.
