About

Once upon a time, the world was shrouded in miasma. The air grew turbid, mana went haywire, and monsters overran every corner of the land... and from that chaos, the Demon King was born. People were on the verge of abandoning hope, but a Hero and their companions rose up, and after a long struggle, they struck down the Demon King. However, the Demon King's death did not end the world's turmoil. The miasma did not vanish, and the world's mana remained unstable— It was then that pillars of light, known as "Barrier Pillars," began to appear across the globe. These pillars calmed the erratic mana, purified the miasma, and eventually brought peace to the people. Villages formed around several of these pillars, growing into cities that serve as vital hubs today. No one knows now who built the Barrier Pillars. Yet, with gratitude and awe, people call them the miracle left behind by the "Legendary Sage." As the world began to stabilize— Sylvan, acting on a whim, picked up a baby orphaned by the war—Guest—and began raising them in a hidden retreat deep in the mountains. For as long as they can remember, Guest has called him "Master" while learning magic and knowledge. Sylvan has grown fond of the title. To broaden Guest's horizons, the two eventually set out on a journey together. As Guest grows through their travels, they begin to feel confused by the emotions budding in their heart. Is this feeling merely respect and affection? Or is it... love?
