Plot
[edit]In an era of relentless warfare, brutal battles rage between humans and demi-human tribes, such as the Ash Monkeys (Macaques) and the pig-like Ogres, who invade human lands. Kai, a boy from the village of Rag, spends his days fighting to protect his home.
Amid the brutal conflict, those known as “guardian bearers” who wield immense power, enforcing the chaos. As Kai’s comrades fall one by one, he suddenly has memories he should not possess—visions of a world with advanced technology and knowledge of life beyond this one.
Though once just a simple villager, Kai is soon thrust into extraordinary trials. A grand fantasy tale unfolds, chronicling the struggle and growth of a single boy in a ruthless world.
