Ember Judgment

He is a waste. In this world where everything is judged by ashes, he is judged as a person without power. His father died in a mining accident seventeen years ago, leaving him only a piece of slag. There was a message sealed in the slag—not a will, but a letter. "Send a message to let the world know that the fire is still burning underground." All the ashes are just fire that has not yet cooled down.
