It's a cursed world.

In 586 A.D., a "great catastrophe" swept the world, with a global earthquake and the ruins of huge cities overnight.

Then, dragons, angels, goblins, and all other xenomorph creatures suddenly appeared, and these xenomorph creatures were not guests of the other world, but suddenly appeared as a calamity.

Humanity has lost most of its land due to the destruction of countless xenomorph creatures.

In order to survive, the human race in Europe united to establish the great power of Midgard, and scholars founded the Pythagorean Academy to study the causes of the cataclysm and analyze how to keep humanity alive.

But as time passed, the original dreams were eroded by desire, and corruption and tyranny flourished.

Originally, Midgard was founded to keep human civilization alive, but with the alternation of power, tyrannical rule began to appear.

Ordinary people live in dire straits, with no day of peace.

In this context, the aristocratic class still lives very well, because they have the people at the bottom who can exploit and oppress.

This oppression can last a lifetime, because here, birth represents the future.

If you are born into a good child and are born into the aristocratic class, then you will be greeted by a beautiful day like heaven, but if you are born as a lowly commoner, then you will be greeted by a lifetime of labor and exploitation.

Even if the commoners work hard all their lives, there will never be any chance to turn over, and the commoners will always be commoners, and they will always be domestic animals in the eyes of the upper nobles, and they can be disposed of and played with at will.

This is the norm of this era, and it is also the sadness of this era.

A girl with pale red eyes was born in such a country.

And her luck doesn't seem to be good, because she was born at the bottom of the country, and she was unfortunate to be born.

The girl did not come into this world with blessings and flowers, but was born under the curses and curses of the woman named Mother.

Her birth did not bring any benefit to the woman who became a mother, but made her already poor life more difficult.

Of course, for various reasons, the girl's mother also did not love her, but often abused her, and in this childhood, which did not have any warmth, the girl gradually grew up.

If nothing else, the girl may be sold by her mother to a wealthy aristocratic merchant as a plaything in exchange for money.

Unfortunately, an accident occurred, and in 985 A.D., the Great Famine broke out.

A sudden famine swept through the kingdom, but only the commoners, or the poor, were affected, and the princes and nobles were still alive and well.

It was at the time of this famine that the girl's mother's eyes changed when she looked at the girl.

"It was going to take a little longer, but ...... There is no food left. ”

The woman looked at the girl who didn't know what was going on and muttered as she walked over.

"What's wrong? Mother? ”

The girl looked at her mother, who was walking towards her, and shrank in fear, because when her mother walked towards her, it meant that she was going to be beaten.

But this time, her mother rarely beat her.

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

The woman looked coldly at the girl who was really a burden to the child, there was no warmth in her eyes, it was the product of an accident, and she could not have feelings for it.

Besides, this era does not allow her to have feelings for a burden, and she herself will not be able to live.

The woman grabbed the girl's hand roughly, walked towards the door, and in the face of the woman's rough grasp, a trace of pain flashed on the girl's face, but she didn't scream.

She didn't dare to scream because her mother hated her, and if anything didn't go her way, she would be beaten.

Outside the house is a dirty street, a slum that exists in every country, and the slums that survive here are naturally the poor who do everything they can to survive.

Because of the famine, it didn't take a few steps to see thin figures lying on the ground, perhaps too hungry to move, or perhaps starved to death.

But what does this have to do with women? There was only one thought in her mind right now, and that was to trade this burden for some money to buy food.

If this burden grows a little longer, maybe it can be sold for more money, but if it is not sold now, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for this burden to grow up.

"Mother, where are we going?"

The young girl didn't know what would happen next, but she was inexplicably happy in her heart, because it was the first time her mother had taken her out and held her hand.

She once hid from a street corner and saw that on the clean and tidy street, parents were holding their children hand in hand.

Although she had never seen her father since she was a child, and her mother often punched and kicked her, the girl still occasionally fantasized about this scene in her unpolluted heart.

The woman didn't answer the girl, didn't even look at her the same, just walked like that.

Seeing this, the girl didn't ask again without interest.

After about ten minutes, the streets gradually became cleaner, but only relatively clean, at least much cleaner than the slums.

After a while, the woman's destination had appeared in front of her eyes, and the girl who was being pulled gradually turned pale.

Although she was illiterate, she knew the place, because many of her slum friends who used to play with her were sold there.

It seems to be a place called a women's branch in the name of adults.

Those friends who had played with her had not been seen since they were sold there, and the big house, which was more gorgeous than the surrounding houses, was a man-eating cave in the eyes of the little girl.

Feeling the girl's resistance, the woman pulled hard, the girl was pulled and staggered in an instant, and feeling the power of her mother's palm, the girl shook her body and stopped resisting.

After making sure that the girl had yielded, the woman walked towards the big room again.

If it weren't for the famine, she would have been able to sell this burden to those noble and wealthy merchants, but now, because she was too young, she could only sell it to the female branch.

This place doesn't matter what age or anything, just look at it, they won't refuse, but the price will be very low.

The closer she got to the big house, the more the girl's body trembled, but at this moment, the woman's eyes only had the door and the money that she could get immediately.

But the next moment, a figure suddenly stopped her.

The woman who was suddenly stopped wanted to have a seizure, but when she saw the exquisite clothes of the person in front of her, she immediately swallowed back the angry scolding that she was about to blurt out.

The people who survive here have more or less some eyesight, because fools who don't have some eyesight have long since died.

The woman was about to bypass the man in front of her, but the man suddenly took out a bag of gold, shook it in front of her, and then pointed to the girl the woman was leading.

Even if there is no communication between the man and her, the woman's almost numb brain immediately understands the man's thoughts.

She immediately reached out and took the money bag, then left the girl without hesitation, turned around and left.

Seeing that her mother had left her, the girl wanted to follow, but the woman glared at her viciously, said something casually, and strode away.

The discarded girl looked helplessly at the departing woman, her figure shook and collapsed on the ground, and the next second, sobs rang out.
