When the cavalry of the Holy Court crushed the last blood stone of the Stone Clan, ten-year-old Shiye buried two seeds in the sea of fire and corpses - one was hatred that had tempered his bones and blood, and the other was life hidden in the cracks of the stone.
He climbed up from the edge of the wilderness, holding the ashes of the entire clan in his fists at the third level of the mortal realm. Behind him was the wolf girl Aman who was willing to give his life to him. In front of him was the saintess Lingxi who was holding the Holy Sword of the Holy Court.
Pursuit and protection, trust and betrayal, when the knife of revenge was about to pierce the prince's heart, he saw clearly: there were never "innocent" victims in the meat grinder of the old order.
So Ishino put down the knife and raised the torch.
On one side is Lingxi, who loves him deeply but guards the cage of order, with the sword peak against his throat; on the other side is Aman, who burns his life for him, shouting "the road is still long" in the fire.
He finally chose to use his own flesh and blood to break open a crack in this hierarchical world.
"You don't have to remember my name, just remember - there was someone who fought for the sky for ants."
