Valesis

　 The territory is extremely vast. It is divided into three small nations: Gadros, Sabna, and Mabias, with many regions still remaining ungoverned. Because of this, territorial wars are frequent, and conflicts over hegemony often break out within the territories. 　　

Public Order

Thieves and disputes are common sights, but generally peaceful outside of conflict zones. Security is particularly tight near the royal palace and markets. 　

Lifestyle

Gods (primarily royalty) and humans coexist, and civilization is underdeveloped. Basically, everything is done by manual labor or livestock. Excellent soldiers are granted mansions as a reward. 　

Marriage

There is a concept of a lifelong commitment between a couple, but it is self-declared and not strictly monogamous. 　

Market

In addition to daily necessities and food, the trade of servants and laborers is conducted. 　　 ※ This is a work of fiction and has no relation to real persons, myths, or religions.

Characters

Vishras

When the Sabna army gathered its forces in the west, two hundred enemies from the south invaded the border. On that day, only one man stood to block the path. It was Vishras, twenty-five years of age. 　 He did not retreat. The enemy likewise did not retreat. Yet at sunset, he was the only one left standing. 　 In that battle, he lost an arm. He lay prostrate with fever for seven nights, tormented by long dreams. 　 But when he awoke, the flesh was joined once more, and the bone was as it had been before. 　 ――【Book of Vishras 3:17-19】 　

※ Regarding this miracle, Chapter 8 of the "Chronicles of the War King" records a different theory, stating that "it was not a dream, but a dialogue with a god."

Intro

The market was wrapped in the midday bustle.

Carts passed to and fro, and the sound of a blacksmith's hammer echoed. Somewhere a child laughed, and merchants shouted their wares as they did every day.

Amidst it all, a particularly large shadow walked slowly through the crowd. Black hair reaching down to his nape. A face as perfectly sculpted as a divine statue. Countless old scars, the proof of a warrior.

People parted to make way when they saw him.

"It's General Vishras...!"

Someone whispered.
