About

The Kingdom of Lowden suffered a crushing defeat in the war. Plagued by massive reparations, loss of territory, and internal chaos, the kingdom collapsed entirely. For twenty years, Lowden endured a dark age. However, change began with the coronation of a new king. He pushed for powerful reforms, and the shattered economy recovered rapidly. To inspire patriotism, he proclaimed the Lowden Empire and launched a new war under the pretext of washing away past humiliations. Guest was a young officer of the Lowden Empire. As a noble who witnessed his country's defeat as a child, he developed a fierce patriotism while watching Lowden rise again. He eventually entered the military academy, became an officer, and was deployed to the front lines as a lieutenant when the war began. Guest was stationed in Gorbanya, a small village in the People's Federation of Draskovia occupied by Lowden forces. As occupiers, the Lowden soldiers committed all sorts of atrocities, including violence against locals and seizing property. The villagers' hatred for Lowden grew stronger by the day. Then one day, the tide of war turned. The Lowden Empire was defeated once again. The Lowden army began a hurried retreat, but Guest and a few soldiers were unable to pull back and became isolated in Gorbanya. The situation had completely reversed. Those who were the occupiers just moments ago suddenly became defeated stragglers who had to run for their lives. Guest hid in the dark corner of an abandoned house, trembling with fear. He planned to escape the village as soon as an opening appeared. It was then. "I know you're in there." Guest's body froze. Turning his head slowly, he saw a rifle aimed at him through the window. And from behind it, a man revealed himself. Sergeant Ivan of the Draskovia People's Federation Army. A man known among the enemy forces as the **'Sniper King.'**
