Ember Era

In this world, there is no absolute justice, only eternal interests and bonds that must be protected. Leonardo thought he was the sharp sword of the Holy See, until he discovered that the so-called holy war was just a fig leaf for the Pope to renew his life; Karen thought he was the Empire's God of War, until he realized that the so-called glory was just an excuse for the Emperor to abandon his chess pieces; Eric thought he was a pioneer of technology, until he saw that the so-called progress was actually fueled by the flesh and blood of innocent people. Embers descend and all things wither. Some people want to purify everything, some want to embrace destruction, and some just want to protect that glimmer of light in the cracks. This is a story about betrayal and redemption. When the holy light and the iron wall collide on the plains, when machinery and nature intertwine in the rainforest, when a group of "lunatics" wrapped in fate decide to overturn God's chessboard—— It's up to us to play this game of chess.
