Having worked in the fields, Edgar and Fabby knew exactly what they were getting themselves into, so they went in prepared. Wearing towels above their heads, full-sleeved shirts, and footwear, they came prepared to the job. The ragged clothes they wore gave off a strange smell because they applied perfume to it. The little perfume cost them three bronze coins. It was just too pricey, but they had no other choice, as they didn’t want to dirty their new clothes. And the perfume would last a few days, so it was worth it.As Fabby and Edgar wondered what kind of plants would grow in the heat of the late summer,  they were taken to the buckwheat fields, which had mature seed crops grown in just eight weeks, waiting for them to harvest. They had never seen crops growing during such heat, so it was a mystery to them, until other workers told them that both earth and water were manipulated to fit the ne

Just what was this Beast Tide?Why do the beasts come out of the woods and attack the town in such numbers? This wasn’t something that started recently, but it was a phenomenon that happened in numerous places in the world at different times of the year. However, the end of summer always stood out compared to others.People began to call this battle between humans and beasts as the Burden War, which was more than just a struggle for survival, more than just shedding blood.Many people had different theories as to what led to this war.With the scarcity of water, the beasts got distressed over the summer, and by the end of it, they would break mentally and seek the nearby communities for water.Summer was the time when t

The sun almost sank down the horizon.A five-meter-tall elephant threatened to kill a group of defeated people by stomping over them, but Ashang appeared out of nowhere and landed on its neck and punched in its head with his cupped hands a few times, and the elephant crumpled to its feet and bled from its ears and moved no longer.“E-Even our spears couldn’t pierce that elephant’s skin, but he defeated it with his bare hands!”“As expected of one of the Four Masters, the First Master, Ashang! Thank you for saving our lives!”People tried to thank him but he roared in rage. “Shut up, you fools! You would’ve died if not for my interference. Don’t try to take on beasts that are out of your league! You didn’t come h

A rather small beast compared to the rest was giving a hard time to Edgar. It kept clawing him from every direction, while using other people and beasts’ bodies as springboards.“I can see it, but I can’t keep up with it,” Edgar frowned, for he could spot that one-meter-tall jackrabbit, but whenever he swung his blades, it somersaulted over the metallic weapons, or even sprang on top of those moving blades at times and dealt him deep cuts even though his body was shielded by Drive.It was evident that this jackrabbit got its eyes on him. It didn’t even have glowing eyes, yet it was so fast and nimble.After repeated failure, Edgar gave up on the idea of fighting it in his usual fashion as it didn’t feel like the time to compete with it. He used the ring and brought the crocodile&r
