On the northern frontier of the Sangerstein Empire, there is one of the most mysterious professions: Aurora Guardians.
Most of the time, the aurora is fixed in place, appearing and disappearing faintly.
But every now and then, it suddenly changes, flowing slowly like elegant, dreamlike waves.
Archaeologists deciphered the writing on the oldest stone tablet on the continent of Buniya. The people of that age called this phenomenon "Aurora Tides."

Lin Chenren was a top assassin, cold to the core.
After accepting a job, Lin Chen set out from the royal capital, Carol, for the northern frontier.
The frontier was covered in ice and snow. Lin Chen unexpectedly encountered a local Aurora Guardian and discovered that the omega had been sick for years and was on the verge of death.
The pretty omega was weak, pitiful, and helpless, coughing up blood at the slightest provocation and fainting every now and then. Lin Chen couldn't bear to leave him there, so after completing the mission, he took him back to Carol for treatment.
What Lin Chen hadn't expected was that the sickly omega in his arms vanished without a trace as soon as they returned to Carol.
Three days later, the entire city of Carol went into lockdown.
The royal capital's scourge had returned, and the nobles trembled.
When the two met again, Lin Chen's slender sword rested squarely against the man's thin neck.
Lin Chen gripped his sword, his superior's words from the assassination assignment ringing in his ears.
"Bai Yixun, the highest-scoring student at the Imperial Military Academy, once the princess's favorite candidate for prince consort, and granted the codename 'King.' Seven years ago, after presenting as an omega, he killed his parents, burned down the Bai family estate, and fled to the northern frontier... For some unknown reason, he's recently returned to the capital, Carol."
"Bai Yixun's ability is extremely troublesome. Find a way to kill him."
In the dim light, Bai Yixun's face was pale. He looked at the person standing very close in front of him and moved his restrained wrist.
"Could you be a little gentler? It hurts."
Lin Chen: "Bai Yixun, is there a single honest thing that comes out of your mouth?"
Bai Yixun gave a couple of weak coughs, then his body went limp. He murmured, "I've missed you ever since we parted last time. Have you missed me?"

At the very end of the ancient stone tablet was this inscription:
"When the continent nears its end, all living beings will gather beneath the divine tree and, with the final tide in the sky screen, bid farewell to the creator god of the continent."
"Lin Chen, my body will wither on this ruined, decaying continent of Buniya, where flowers of flesh and bone bloom."
"But my bones will always face you, faithful for all eternity."
