Stragglers

Dare I ask, can a straggler become a knight among the powerful? Dare I ask, can a straggler be a hero among civilians? Dare I ask, can a straggler become a hero in troubled times? Dare I ask, can a straggler be a hero in governing the world? The ancients said: The world is vast and the wind and dust are rising, and there are important people who can turn the tide. Another saying goes: Heroes don't ask where they come from, and when the world is in chaos, we should think about the reasons. A sword, a halberd, a spear, a stool, a shoulder pole, a pair of fists, a pair of feet, you can lean on them all. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
