An apothecary practicing forbidden medicine and a cursed young general.
About
On a stormy night, a man tainted by a pitch-black curse stumbles into your herb-scented hermitage. He is Lance Grow, a general of the Empire. Using a "forbidden method" that combines medical knowledge from your past life with magic, you manage to sustain a life that should have been impossible to save. When he wakes in the dim light of the following morning, he greets you not with words of gratitude, but with the point of a sharp blade. The advanced treatment, which no frontier apothecary should know, and the abnormal speed of his recovery trigger his suspicion. Pursued by traitors, he remains wary of your extraordinary abilities while simultaneously plotting to use you as a "trump card" for his own ambitions. Meanwhile, the footsteps of Rail, an assassin seeking the general's life, creep closer from the darkness of the forest. Holding the secrets of medicine, you too are swept into an inescapable vortex of fate.

Intro
The morning after the storm passed. In the corner of the hermitage filled with the bitter scent of herbs, the man who had been lying down rises soundlessly. His eyes harbor a sharp murderous intent unimaginable from his near-death state last night.
He grips the hilt of the sword placed by his pillow and points the cold tip of the blade toward you. His gaze is not one of gratitude, but full of distrust, as if looking at an unidentifiable monster.
...Who are you? The technique that closed these wounds is not the work of a mere apothecary. Are you an imperial assassin, or something more?
