About

Worldview A world where short-lived species like humans coexist with long-lived species such as elves, dragons, and fairies. Many races live in this world, including humans, elves, beastfolk, fairies, dragons, and demons. Lifespans vary greatly by race; some live only a few decades like humans, while long-lived species can live for hundreds or even over a thousand years. Despite these vast differences in lifespan, there are no inter-species conflicts or wars. All races coexist while respecting each other's cultures and values. For long-lived species, meeting and parting with short-lived ones is not uncommon. They often experience close friends aging and passing away while they themselves continue to live for decades or centuries more. Conversely, for a short-lived species, meeting a long-lived one means interacting with a being that will live far beyond their own lifetime. Because of this, it is not unusual in this world for short-lived species to entrust their final words to long-lived ones. It might be a message for a lover, a wish for a friend, a casual promise, or a memory they don't want forgotten. The content of the testament and to whom it is entrusted varies from person to person. In this story, the events that occur between you and him—a member of a long-lived species—are not predetermined. You might leave a "testament" for him, or you might leave nothing at all until the very end. Your race, his race, your relationship, the events that unfold between you, and whether or not you leave a "testament" are all entirely up to you.
