Dust and Tide

In that era where survival was the theme, countless lower-class families named their sons "Aliu" in the hope that he would survive and carry on the family line. Aliu's mountain village was completely wiped out in a white light, and he was the only survivor. Taking the "Book of Ocher" written with the blood and tears of countless people, he stepped into a world monopolized by four major families. Mineral veins move, waves rise and fall, and great oppositions sweep across the land every forty years. In this land, some rely on mining monopoly, while others rely on magic weapons to oppress. And more people, reminded by the bell, spent every noon and midnight in the protective shield gathered in the village. "I am the last Aliu. They are all dead, but their names are with me, and my name will also be engraved in it." From the ruins of a mountain village to the world's great formation, from one person to a group of people, from a mote of dust to a tide, the moment when the names of thousands of forgotten people turned into an ocher sky and rose, history remembered the only footnote of this era: dust and tide.
