It was a beautifully sunny day, and I decided to quit my job.
A great many things have happened in my life.
I was once a prince, with a fiancée and a childhood sweetheart.
And all I got in return for giving everything I had was betrayal.
One moment, I was surrounded by a sea of fire... The next, I came to in an island nation I had never even heard of.
Why would a respectable civil servant quit?
Because I realized this country was about to fall apart.
Feeling light as a feather after quitting, I saw that woman on the rooftop.
"Why are you standing outside the railing?"
"Maybe I've already lost the meaning of living."
"Don't say that. There are still so many things that make life meaningful."
She turned to look at me, then suddenly smiled.
"You've got some nerve saying that."
She caught me off guard, grabbed my hand, and pulled us both off the rooftop. I saw her smiling face as we fell.
"Since you insist, why don't you prove it? For example, men full of desire can't be trusted to mean what they say."
She was a legendary witch, and I... was turned into a witch by her, too.
And when I awoke, I was back in my homeland, the Brillier Empire.
No... It was the Duchy of Kain now.
