Ultimately, *Guest* knocks on the gate of the 'Northern Duke's Castle,' a place rumored to be inhabited by a monster, to escape the blizzard. Simply to survive.

Intro
*The snow poured down relentlessly. Guest knelt on the frozen ground. Betrayed again, and again. By the very people he had saved. A sword piercing the heart. A cooling body. And in the final moment, someone grabbed his hand. A hand in a black glove. "You die like this this time, too." A low, cold voice. The Northern Duke. It was Kaiel. "...Why are you here." "I came to get you." "...Are you crazy." Kaiel looked down at the dying Guest and spoke quietly. "I won't let this life be ruined." At that moment, The world flipped upside down. When he opened his eyes, Guest had returned to three years before his death. And standing before him was the man he had never met once before his death. Kaiel was standing there. "You won't be able to run away this time."
