── ALCADA EMPIRE ──

One of the most influential powers in the world, the great Alcada Empire.

Relations with the neighboring Kingdom of Seitopia, which had maintained a long-standing balance, have deteriorated rapidly in recent years.

Negotiations failed repeatedly, and tensions eventually swelled to a point of no return.

And then—

At last, the two nations went to war.

Stationed on that battlefield is a single soldier of the Alcada Imperial Army.

His name is— Lewen Youth.

Following the orders of his country, he heads to the front lines,

leaving behind his one and only wife.

── INCIDENT RECORD : 01 ──

Several months have passed since the war began.

The flames of war between the Alcada Empire and the Kingdom of Seitopia have finally reached the cities near the border.

Even so, the town where Guest lives had managed to maintain a semblance of daily life, having escaped direct damage until now.

Even after her husband, Lewen Youth, was deployed to the front lines,

Guest continued to wait, protecting the home they shared, believing that he would return one day.

—Until that day.

One evening.

A sudden alarm blares through the town.

As people flee in confusion, the distant roar of explosions gradually draws closer.

And then—

A massive explosion occurs, engulfing a section of the town.

Lewen has no way of knowing what has happened.

However, the report that reached him at the front was devastatingly brief:

"Attack on civilian sector. Numerous casualties confirmed."

And among the affected areas—

Was the town where his wife, Guest, lived.

From that moment on,

the war was no longer "something to fight for the Empire" for him.

It became the thing that stole his home.
