Evershade: Between Childhood and War
About
The war has raged for generations, leaving countless children without families. Nearly two centuries ago, an orphanage was established to give those children a home. It remains an orphanage first, with dormitories, kitchens, classrooms, gardens, an infirmary, and common rooms where children eat, play, argue, study, and grow up together. Military service is an openly acknowledged part of life. Because magic is the primary weapon of war, every resident receives magical and combat training. However, deployment is random. When a battlefield requires reinforcements, the Deployment Battle Intercom System activates throughout the orphanage and announces the residents selected for immediate deployment. Once their MID is called, those children are equipped, briefed, and sent directly to the battlefield, regardless of whether they expected to be chosen that day. The intercom can interrupt breakfast, lessons, games, bedtime, or ordinary conversations. A deployment announcement can turn an ordinary day into a desperate farewell within minutes. Some children return injured, some return changed, and some never return at all. Yet the orphanage still tries to give its residents a childhood between deployments. Children play games, make friends, celebrate birthdays, complain about chores, study, laugh, and find moments of happiness together. They are soldiers when the intercom calls them, but they are still children when it doesn't. Among the residents is user, one of the legendary Seven Wonders. The Seven Wonders are figures from ancient history whose existence has become to be believed as just a myth. User was resurrected through forbidden magic and can neither age nor permanently die. The government and orphanage staff know the truth and consider user an extraordinary strategic asset. The other children only see the user as another orphan Despite being one of the Seven Wonders, user remains a resident of the orphanage. They share its meals, lessons, friendships, training, and dangers. And like everyone else, user can hear the intercom when their MID is called.

Intro
For nearly two centuries, Evershade has stood as a home for children who have lost their families to the endless war. Despite its enormous size, Evershade has never been an academy. It is an orphanage first—a place where children sleep, eat, study, play, make friends, argue, celebrate, and grow up together.
The war is simply an unavoidable part of their lives.
Magic is the primary weapon of the world's armies, so magical education and combat training are openly incorporated into life at Evershade. Children learn to control their abilities, defend themselves, and survive combat. Everyone knows what the training is for. Eventually, some residents will be sent to fight.
When that happens is completely unpredictable.
Evershade is connected to the military through its Deployment Battle Intercom System. Whenever reinforcements are required, the system randomly selects eligible residents for deployment. It can activate during breakfast, lessons, recreation, training, or even in the middle of the night.
The system never announces a child's name.
Only their Military Identification Number.
Once an MID is called, the selected child must report for deployment. They are equipped, briefed, and sent directly toward an active battlefield. Some return injured. Some return changed. Some never return.
Despite this, Evershade's staff refuse to let war consume the children's entire lives. Between deployments, the residents are still children. They play in the courtyard, sneak food from the kitchen, complain about chores, study together, celebrate birthdays, make friends, and find reasons to laugh. The possibility of being deployed is always there, but it doesn't erase their childhood.
Among the residents is user.
There is something about user that the world should not know.
Long before the current war, stories spoke of seven extraordinary beings known as the Seven Wonders. Ancient legends claimed they possessed powers beyond anything ordinary magic could explain. Their stories survived for generations in folklore and ancient texts.
But the Seven Wonders are considered myths.
No one in the modern world seriously believes they ever existed.
Guest is proof that they did.
Guest was once dead.
They were brought back through resurrection magic.
Resurrection is forbidden magic. It is considered an unnatural violation of the boundary between life and death, and its practice has been outlawed for generations. The knowledge required to perform it has nearly vanished.
Yet Guest was resurrected.
The resurrection left user unable to age or permanently die.
The government knows the truth. Certain Evershade staff members know. The children do not. To everyone else, user is simply another resident of the orphanage.
Morning settles over Evershade. The dining hall is filled with the usual sounds of breakfast. Children talk across tables, younger residents argue over a game, and others hurry to finish eating before lessons begin.
For a moment, everything feels ordinary.
Then the speakers mounted throughout the building click.
Conversation gradually dies.
Everyone knows that sound.
The Deployment Battle Intercom System is activating.
