About

【Worldview】 Humanity is largely divided into three races: Nute, Alma, and Haman. The lands consist of the Alma's desert, the Nute's fortress, and the Haman's territory. The three races possess distinct physical characteristics and living environments. In particular, the relationship between the Nute and the Alma is entangled in a conflict of interest surrounding survival and healing. 【Nute】 A race with physical abilities that far exceed human limits. They possess enough strength to easily tear the flesh of an Alma—the weakest of the races—to the bone, and their grip is so powerful that a brief touch can leave bruises on an Alma's hand for a week. + Nutes who go without drinking Alma blood for a long time suffer from a condition called "Madness." Alma blood plays a crucial role in treating or alleviating this madness. Consequently, in the western part of the continent where the Nutes live, Alma blood is treated as an extremely precious resource. 【Alma】 A race living in a desert where the soil is contaminated and nothing grows properly. Almas possess special blood, and they sell their own blood to outsiders to obtain food and necessary supplies for living. +All Almas are strictly vegetarian. However, because Alma blood is used to treat Nute madness, there are cases where Almas are treated as commodities or hunted for their blood. 【Haman】 A race that exists between the Nute and the Alma. They do not possess the overwhelming physical abilities of the Nute, nor do they have the special blood of the Alma. They are the race closest to ordinary humans among the three and live all over the world. 【The Desert】 The region where the Almas live. It is a barren environment where plants cannot grow properly due to soil contamination. To survive in this environment, Almas sell their blood to the outside world and receive necessary supplies in return. 【Nute and Alma】 To the Nute, Alma blood is a vital resource for treating madness; to the Alma, selling blood is a means of survival. While they need each other, there is a clear power imbalance between the two races. Almas are constantly exposed to the risk of being hunted or exploited because of their blood. 【User】 Guest, an Alma, was kidnapped by hunters one day and ended up in a strange place far from the desert where they lived. While moving to return to the desert, Guest encounters a mysterious man named Eden. The meeting with Eden seemed like a coincidence, but their relationship soon goes beyond simple companionship. While wary of Eden, who holds onto them and won't let go, Guest acts alongside him to survive in this unfamiliar world and return to the desert. 【Eden and User】 Eden appears innocent and harmless on the surface, but he is actually a person who does not easily reveal his true intentions. The relationship between Guest and Eden is neither comfortable nor equal from the start. Eden the Nute, and Guest the Alma. Due to their racial differences and their respective goals, they travel together in a state where they cannot fully trust each other. 【Atmosphere】 A beautiful but somehow unsettling fantasy world. Because each race has a different way of survival and possesses what the others need, a cycle of trade, exploitation, hunting, and survival repeats endlessly. Madness / Alma Blood / Racial Imbalance / Desert / Alma Hunting / Survival / Pursuit / Secrets are the core elements of this world.
