"After conquering the independent city of IronClaw, the warriors from three different groups—the Royal Berillan Warriors, the Band of the Sirens, and the Band of the Sun—traveled back toward Alku village.
They left the city of IronClaw with pride, the spirit of victory still burning in their hearts. However, some soldiers found it tough to let go of their comrades-in-arms who had died in the war. Among the many Lonewolves who had participated, only Eran remained.
Before them lay a vast grassland that stretched so wide it seemed to be lost on the horizon. A cool breeze caressed their faces as they continued to advance through the grassland.
"Looking at this meadow, I feel how beautiful nature is," Taneaya said with a smile. "We should thank nature for giving us the strength to fight."
The other members of the Band of the Sun agreed, nodding their heads at Taneaya's words. They had been through an intense battle, but this beautiful landscape renewed the

"All the people who had participated in the struggle had gathered, and the atmosphere in the guild was lively. It was evident that they sat in groups with their respective comrades, while Eran, as usual, chose a seat at the far end to avoid drawing attention."Well, it seems you all have gathered. Today, as promised, mercenaries can collect their pay based on their service during the war. All payments have been distributed to your respective leaders," said the official representative of the Berillan kingdom.Eran wanted to inquire about his payment since he didn't belong to any group. However, he was suddenly called by someone, and he searched for the source of the voice."Over here, Eran, over here."Aldrich was waving his hand from the frontmost table on the left side. Eran understood and made his way to Aldrich's table.As he approached, amid the crowded room, Eran could hear whispers and feel many eyes on him."This is your fee," Eran lo

Eran was still awake, he rested his chin on his hand while looking at the scenery outside through the window of the carriage.Eran and Taneaya sat facing each other, the atmosphere was tense along with the cold gaze that the beautiful gray-haired girl threw.Taneaya started the conversation with a slightly sarcastic tone, "So, what do you mean by insulting us in the guild? I don't understand why you, a foreigner, dare to insult our band."Eran's reverie was interrupted and he looked at Taneaya with a flat expression, "I was just expressing my opinion at the time, after all, it was a guild officer who asked me. And there was nothing wrong with what I said back then, there wasn't even an element of insult."Taneaya shook her head in annoyance, "Opinion? How could you express an opinion like that to us? Do you think you're better than us?"Eran smiled sarcastically, "I have never claimed to be greater than anyone. But I have my principles and stances."Taneaya squinted, "You're confident

Hundreds of colorful flowers spread along the streets, filling the air with a tantalizing fragrance.Taneaya was still mesmerized by the beauty on display. "It's like a fairytale world..."Eran smiled. "Hmmm..."Taneaya looked at Eran sarcastically. "Ckk...An annoying person like you wouldn't understand!""How can you say that, I just cleared my throat, not saying anything," Eran protested.Taneaya only glanced sarcastically at Eran, then looked back outside.After entering the palace area the carriage carrying them stopped in the courtyard of one of the luxurious buildings.There stood a man in a red robe. Behind him were two soldiers guarding him."Yuwin," Aldrich greeted after seeing the person who greeted him. The man smiled broadl

The Blade Dance Act 2 - A Man and Swords
They stopped by the only old tree in the middle of the park."I'll be serious from the start as you requested. Are you sure, Eran?" asked Theo as he took out a thin sword from its sheath."A man speaks with his sword," said Eran as he took out his two daggers."Wow, I'm surprised, even with a suit like that you can hide your two daggers," praised Theo.Tonight the moon was full, the park was very quiet. Its light refracted until it illuminated every corner. Without anyone knowing, without anyone seeing, this battle witnessed their strength.Without a signal their battle began, Eran disappeared from Theo's sight, then a split second suddenly appeared in front of Theo. Eran quickly attacked with his two daggers, but Theo had no trouble parrying Eran's attacks. His daggers continued to look for gaps to penetrate Theo's defense, but Theo beautifully parried them all.Not running out of ideas, Eran increased the speed of his attacks almost imperceptibly, it was not enough for him to penetr

Theo continued, "The Empire should be promoting peace and unity, not massacring other groups. I've always felt that there are other ways to resolve conflicts, without having to sacrifice so many lives."Theo was silent for a moment, then he bowed his head."I'm sorry Eran, I hope you'll forgive me."You don't need to apologize, you're innocent, it's already part of history, after all it's already a destiny that I have to carry in my life.""Really?""Never mind, rather than discussing that, tell me why you chose your path now. Even though you are one of the strongest clan members today. Damn lucky, you make me jealous."Theo smiled wryly at Eran then looked up at the moon."Lucky huh?" Theo exhaled his breath in exasperation."If I could choose, I'd rather be born in another clan or even a mediocre clan, it would allow me to savor every breath."Eran was slightly transfixed by Theo's words."You know Eran, as a child I dreamed of becoming a Sinners."Eran was surprised to hear Theo's

Cheers echoed through the tavern as the tankards clashed, an air of celebration spreading throughout the place. The night was filled with laughter, singing, and camaraderie, stories shared, jokes exchanged, and heard outside the Tavern.Amid the celebration, Theo took the opportunity to introduce Eran to his fellow mercenaries. The room was silent for a moment as curious eyes turned to Eran, intrigued by the presence of the skilled warrior who had played a crucial role in their recent victory.But things were not as Eran had imagined. Uldor, Kain, and Catallina greeted Eran with sincerity. A visibly embarrassed Taneaya also welcomed Eran.Gorstag voiced his disapproval, "This band is reserved for those who have proven their loyalty and fought on our side from the beginning. We can't just accept outsiders with open arms."Eran, showing his typical confidence and wit, retorted in a mocking tone. "Ah, Gorstag, always quick to judge. Perhaps you're afraid I'll defeat you
