[A slow start + no joining the crew + original plot]
In the West Sea, the Kingdom of Vilans has long basked in the glory of being a World Government Member State.
The royal family lives in luxury, the nobles carouse night after night, and no one sees the countless refugees and orphans who quietly vanish from the slums.
Ke Wen arrives in this land and joins forces with Zeno, a swordsman burdened by a bloody vendetta, and Sylvia, a noble girl who sees through the hypocrisy of the class system.
The three move through the shadows of the royal city, gathering account books and witness statements stained with tears and blood, gradually peeling back the rotting truth beneath the facade of prosperity.
To pay the Heavenly Tribute to the Celestial Dragons, the royal family of Vilans has long seized and sold people from the lower classes into slavery, trading the lives of countless commoners for the privileges of an Affiliated Nation.
Violently massacre the city? Awaken the ignorant masses?
The fires of revenge and naive ideals collide again and again, while ideological rifts quietly emerge within the group.
They refuse to blindly follow any extreme path and resolve to stand in the royal city square and publicly present all the evidence.
When the cruel truth is laid bare in the sunlight, the royal family flies into a rage, and the World Government slowly turns its gaze toward the West Sea.
Will they be swallowed by darkness, or will they unleash a wave of liberation that shakes the system of Affiliated Nations?
