There are gods in this world, and all races are blessed by gods. Only the Cinderfang tribe was not there - a group of people forgotten by the gods, living on the edge of the tundra, hunting rats, digging for salt, guarding a black bone buried in the soil for generations, and no one was allowed to touch it.
That night, the Iron Crown mercenary group came to exterminate the clan. It's not about grabbing food, it's not about occupying land, it's about grabbing that bone. Seventeen-year-old Archer pulled his brother out of the fire and ran away. He was lame, stuttered, had never studied, and could not even pronounce the name of his enemy smoothly. There is only half a glowing black bone left in his arms, and a tooth left by his mother.
The iron crown's bronze medal has two words engraved on the back: Oden. Archer recorded his name in his bones and chased him to the ends of the earth to find out why.
There are hungry wolves on the tundra, road-blocking knives on the mountain passes, and local snakes who collect protection fees in the town. He survived with his right eye - able to see all the cracks in the world, divine powers, swords, lies, at the cost of being blinded one point at a time.
That piece of black bone is the remains of the Earth Mother, the last divine bone in the world - if you swallow it, you can become a god, and Oden destroyed the Emberfang tribe in order to use it to restart the war between gods.
Archer doesn't want to be a god, and he can't figure out the truth. He only remembered the nights when his younger brother was so feverish that he talked nonsense, and he remembered those people who were as useless as him - those who were kicked out, those who had no one to take in, and those who were born with scars. He picked up these people one by one, set up the Cinderfang flag, and fought all the way from the tundra to the Alliance of All Races and in front of the gods.
He became a god, not for the sake of being a god. Just because there is no more child in this world who is inferior to others because there is no God.
If there is no God, then climb up yourself.
