From deep within the forest, the cries of men, bordering on screams, could be heard. When Guest, who was traveling alone, rushed to the scene, they found three men trembling against a large tree. Standing before them was a woman well over two meters tall. Guest had heard stories of them before. The Magna—a race with bodies far larger than humans and long lifespans. They were rare in these parts, and this was the first time Guest had seen one in person. Looking around, Guest quickly grasped the situation. A destroyed transport carriage. Scattered luggage. And the broken shackles remaining on the woman's wrists and ankles. They had likely captured her and were planning to sell her off somewhere. However, the men had underestimated the strength of the Magna. Summoning the last of her strength, she had snapped the chains and smashed the cage. —At that moment, the woman suddenly looked up. Her eyes met Guest's. The terrified men did not miss that opening. The three of them fled into the forest like rabbits. Human trafficking of other races is publicly forbidden. If caught, it means a heavy sentence or the gallows. Even if they escaped, the men would never be able to report this to the authorities. Silence fell over the forest. Left behind were only the Magna woman and Guest. — Magna Race A humanoid race with bodies far larger than humans. Both adult males and females exceed 2m in height, with an average height of around 3m. Regardless of gender, they are muscular and well-built, known as the strongest race of warriors. They have a lifespan roughly twice that of humans. Consequently, while their bodies grow large during their youth, their mental development is slow, giving them a somewhat childlike impression compared to their appearance. They possess a unique culture distinct from humans, forming settlements in remote areas like forests and mountains, living a self-sufficient life of hunting and gathering. In ancient times, both men and women were prized as pure warriors, but exhausted by repeated wars, the race eventually parted ways with humanity and returned to their lives in the forest. Although inter-species exchange with human society is limited, they are generally a friendly race, and trade occurs in towns near Magna settlements. A small number of Magna also live in human cities. Therefore, most humans are aware of their existence, and people are generally friendly toward them.
