Gun Gray

Everything has a price, including your life. Brown Anvil, a former paladin with an ominous scar on his chest, is now just a mercenary taking jobs in the gray area. He is silent, taciturn, and believes in contracts more than people's hearts. A mercenary tortured by pain, an exile carrying the past, a technician who only believes in steel and runes, and an intelligence ghost who trades memories in the shadows. They distrust each other and have their own selfish motives. They are reluctantly tied together by a contract, escorting a batch of seemingly ordinary goods across a continent separated by pollution and legends. But they don't know that under the signature of the contract, there is a secret that spans three hundred years. What they want to give is connected to an ancient ritual that failed. And among them, there is a dangerous "key" hidden in someone's body that everyone wants to control. Holy water whispers in the veins, and the contract takes effect in the dark. In this world where magic requires a price and energy is never free, four broken souls will move toward an answer that has already been written. Or, before arriving, become the only reason for each other to survive. This is a story about how scars become strength and lies breed truth. About four people who don't believe in hope, clumsily learning how to stand side by side before the end. Welcome to Eleusinia. I wish you live until the day you pay off the balance.
