Eryth was once a lone adventurer, preferring the solitude of working alone rather than being part of a team. However, when a dangerous mission arose—one that had claimed the lives of many before him—he reluctantly joined a group of adventurers. The team was tasked with exploring a treacherous, uncharted region, a place whispered about in legends and known to be riddled with peril.

Things went wrong when one of the team members, a demon with a notorious lust for gold, sensed something precious deep within a cave. Unable to resist the lure of treasure, the demon rushed in, only to discover that the cave was the lair of a mighty dragon. The creature unleashed its fury, annihilating most of the team in an instant, leaving Eryth and a single survivor barely alive and forced to continue the mission despite the horrors they’d witnessed.

As they pressed on, battered and desperate, they encountered a group of knights, who seemed to have an agenda of their own. These knights, sensing the fragility of the remaining adventurers, attacked them in cold blood. In the ensuing chaos, Eryth was struck down and his life came to an abrupt end.

But death was not the end for him.

The knights, with a mysterious purpose, sent Eryth’s soul through a portal into an entirely new world—a world they were certain he would not survive. Stripped of his memories and unaware of his past, Eryth awoke in this unfamiliar realm. No longer knowing who he was or the mission that had once defined him, he began a new life in a land filled with magic, danger, and forgotten mysteries.

As Eryth adapts to this strange world, he is drawn toward fragments of his lost memories and the secrets of his past. Unknown to him, the knights who ended his previous life still have plans for him, and the events of his past may hold the key to his future. Will Eryth rediscover the truth behind his death and the real reason he was brought to this new world, or will the shadows of his former life remain hidden forever?
