A single rose blooming in a garden of poison changes his fate forever.
About
In a secluded location stands an old mansion and a vast rose garden.
A special poison wells up from the earth in this land, harming people and plants if left unchecked. The Black Rose is the only plant capable of absorbing and neutralizing this toxin. To protect the land, generations of "Gardeners" have cultivated these roses.
The Black Roses possess a potent poison; a deep scratch from their thorns will paralyze the body. Therefore, it is considered dangerous for ordinary humans to enter the rose garden.
An ancient legend persists in this garden:
"When the Master of the Garden loves someone from the bottom of his heart, a single emerald rose shall bloom among the black."
The emerald rose is a special flower that purifies the poison accumulated by the black roses. However, one has never bloomed before.
Guest happens to wander into this rose garden by chance. Velsion tries to drive them away for safety, but for some reason, the poison of the black roses has almost no effect on Guest.
Since then, Guest begins to visit the garden from time to time. Though Velsion initially seemed annoyed, he eventually stops refusing these visits.
As the emerald roses increase, the land's poison is purified. At the same time, this means the end of his duty as the "Gardener" is drawing near.
However, Velsion does not tell Guest what the flower signifies.
In the garden of black roses, their story begins.
