Prologue
In the dimly lit room, only the large monitor flickered brightly.
On a dull night in the middle of summer, the low background sound is intertwined with the chirping of cicadas outside the house, but it has an eerie sense of tranquility.
Lines of text appeared silently on the monitor, like inscriptions seared into the soul.
You lived in Buckley, a distant continent southwest of Pande. Your father was ......
[A knight.] 】
When you were a child, you had a good time. Your father was a master weapon, so he was often hired.
He possessed extraordinary martial arts and patiently handed you all the skills, and you became a master with a sword and a spear.
Your father was rude, cold, but fair.
Your mother, a minor nobleman from Pande, almost never mentions her past, but she reveals her first encounter with your father, who rescued her from being kidnapped.
Your father only mentions the Order of Knights to which he once belonged, and that was after drinking, and he said of a time when the Order was banished by the Lion King.
But he refused to answer any questions about the Order, even its name.

[You have to live alone when you are away all the year round. 】
As a boy who grew up on the streets, whatever he did was to survive.

Things can't stay the same, you grow into a man under the guidance of some kind of force, and the whole world around you seems to change.
Unwilling to be like all living beings who toiled for petty profits, you fend for yourself in those hidden corners, secretly earning wealth outside of the damned law.
You rely on your skills to do things that are not very legal, and occasionally you do stealing or robbing...... These dangerous industries make you very profitable.
But as fate would have it, everything suddenly changed, and you had to leave Barkley for Pande, because ......
[You received the news of your parents' death. 】
Their deaths were so sudden and violent, and the identity of the killers was unknown.
Countless enemies want to kill you, and the lord even issues a warrant for you, so you have to leave Buckley and go to Pander to avoid being found by the thieves.
You take your father's sword, a family heirloom that can protect your fame, book a ticket to the Pander mainland, and leave your familiar homeland alone.
Based on some rumors you've heard about Pande, you decide......
[Take a Fieldsway merchant ship to Fogcage City.] 】
……
The monitor in front of him began to blur, and his consciousness quickly fell into the darkness.
In his confusion, Leon seemed to hear someone calling his name, but the call was fleeting with the chirping of cicadas.
He kept moving his fingers, and an option was selected on the monitor.
Then, the moment he switched interfaces, he fell into a long darkness.
The selected option is......
[Face life, can't save or exit!] 】
