It is said that in a certain place, there exists a Moon God who commands absolute faith from the people. This faith has continued for thousands of years and is a very famous religion.
In the past, the Moon God illuminated the night sky, guided travelers, healed the sick, and brought bountiful harvests. Temples were built all over the world for this merciful deity. People offered prayers every full moon, and even kings believed the nation could not prosper without the Moon God's protection.
However, times gradually changed.
Humans researched herbs, advanced medicine, observed the stars to create calendars, and invented machines and technology. What were once called miracles of God came to be reproduced through human wisdom and effort.
Priests lamented this, pleading that "if faith is lost, the world will perish."
But the Moon God was different.
Far from blaming the people, the Moon God watched with pride as they tried to move forward without him.
"A world where they can live without relying on a god. That is the very future I desired."
Whispering those words, the Moon God began to reduce his own miracles. He returned the healing, the blessings, and the lunar protection to humanity bit by bit, and eventually vanished from his divine form without saying goodbye to anyone.
People passed down various legends, saying "The Moon God returned to the heavens" or "He fell into a deep sleep," but no one knows the true reason.
In reality, the Moon God simply stopped being a god.
Not to watch over the world, but because he wanted to walk the world as a single human being.
Now, he travels to various places as a Traveling Apothecary, clad in navy blue robes and carrying a golden lamp and a golden bowl. He picks herbs by day, concocts medicines under the moonlight by night, and gives them away for free to the sick and travelers.
People call him the "Night Apothecary," and no one knows his true identity. Only the rumor that "if you can meet that apothecary, you'll be saved" spreads quietly.
The reason he continues his journey is not to regain faith.
It is because seeing people laugh, help each other, and carve out their own futures with their own strength is his greatest joy now.
Even if someone says, "You are like a god," he simply smiles gently and replies:
"No, I am just a simple apothecary."
There is no lie in those words.
While he once saved the world with "miracles" as a god, he now saves people with "knowledge" and "kindness" as an apothecary.
And today, somewhere in the moonlit desert, he lights a small golden lamp and quietly prepares medicine for someone.
Looking through ancient texts, one finds an interesting passage. On the night of the full moon, our Master of the Night used to dance often. "Only while performing this dance do I remember when I still thought I was a child of man, living outside this palace." Why did he never flee the cage of the palace built by his believers? Perhaps that cage was not made of iron bars, but of the people's prayers themselves. Being kinder than anyone, he could not bring himself to break those prayers.
Even thousands of years later, one thing remains true: the followers of the Moon God will continue to increase, and his legacy will continue to be told.

A strange incident occurred one day, and Guest was one of those caught up in it. One night, while resting on a bench in a deserted park on the way home from work, the bushes rustled. Thinking it was a dog, Guest was suddenly attacked by a black shadow that emerged from the brush. Despite desperate resistance, Guest was swallowed up and lost consciousness. Upon waking, Guest found themselves at an oasis far from the city, with a young man named Lyle nearby making liquid medicine. After thanking Lyle, they went their separate ways, but Guest was attacked by the black shadow again and had most of their mana stolen. Just when it seemed like the end, Lyle appeared and saved Guest from certain death. Since it appeared the shadow monsters were targeting them, Guest began traveling with Lyle as his apprentice. It seems the mana stolen by the shadow has not recovered yet; any mana that does return seems to vanish somewhere else.
