Prologue

In the dark room, only the large monitor shone brightly.

On a boring night in midsummer, the low background sound intertwined with the chirping of cicadas outside the house, but instead gave off a strange feeling of tranquility.

Lines of text appeared quietly on the display, like inscriptions burned into the soul.

You lived in Barkley, a land far southwest of Pendor. Your father was...

【A knight.】

Life was good for you when you were a child. Your father was a weapons master and was often employed as a result.

He has extraordinary martial arts, and patiently teaches you all the skills, and you become a master with swords and lances.

Your father is rough, cold but fair.

Your mother was a minor noble in Pendor. She almost never mentioned her past, but she revealed the first time she met your father, when your father rescued her from being kidnapped.

Your father only mentioned the knighthood he once belonged to once, and that was when he was drunk. He said that the knighthood was exiled by the Lion King.

But he refused to answer any questions about the order, or even its name.

He said he would rather never mention it again.

During your teenage years, you had little free time because your father...

【You are away from home all year round, so you have to live alone.】

As a boy who grew up on the streets, no matter what he did, he did it for survival.

You beg, steal and work for gangs to earn supplies, surviving day in and day out in a violent world, often just one step away from the boundaries of the law and malicious people.

In a seemingly unchanged life, you have ushered in new changes. You have the opportunity to become...

【A bounty hunter.】

Things cannot stay the same. You grow into a man under the guidance of some force, and the whole world around you seems to have changed.

You don't want to be like the rest of the people who work hard just for a small profit. You earn your own living in those hidden corners and earn wealth secretly outside the damn laws.

You rely on your own skills to do some less than legal transactions, and occasionally do some stealing or robbery... These dangerous industries make you very profitable.

But as fate would have it, everything suddenly changes, and you must leave Barkley and go to Pendor, because...

【You have received news of the death of your parents.】

Their deaths were so sudden and violent, and the identity of their killers remains unknown.

Countless enemies also want to kill you, and the lord even issued a wanted order for you. You have no choice but to leave Buckley and go to Pendor in order not to be found by those evil thieves.

You took your father's sword, which was a family heirloom that could protect your body and reputation, booked a boat ticket to Pendor, and left your familiar hometown alone.

Based on some of the rumors you've heard about Pendor, you decide...

[Take a merchant ship from Fieldsway to Mist Cage City.]



The display in front of me began to blur, and my consciousness quickly fell into darkness.

In his confusion, Li Ang seemed to hear someone calling his name, but the call was fleeting accompanied by the chirping of cicadas.

He persisted and moved his fingers, and an option on the display was selected.

Then, at the moment when the interface switched, he fell into a long period of darkness.

The selected option is...

【Facing life head-on, unable to save or exit!】
