I. The Cursed Beginning (1852) The story follows 16-year-old John Joyce as he is thrust into a hell of war and misery. When his alcoholic father murders his mother, the child inside John dies, and he drenches his hands in his own father's blood. From that moment, he is taken under the wing of his uncle, the ruthless and resilient Silas, who drills him in the art of killing. Silas’s "10-Second Rule"—the time it takes to reload a musket—becomes the razor’s edge between John’s life and his grave. II. Riya: Between Love and Despair In December 1852, Silas sacrifices himself, entrusting his beloved Riya to John’s protection. For two years, John and Riya wander the desolate battlefields, clinging to survival. Riya is a shattered soul, longing for the death that claimed Silas. Yet, over time, a forbidden and fierce love ignites between them. This fragile happiness is short-lived; in the summer of 1855, Riya is struck down by a "White Coat" bullet right before John’s eyes, leaving his spirit utterly decimated. III. "God’s Devils" and a Bitter Hope Left alone on the "Path of Death," John gathers a small band of war orphans and helpless women. He encounters 13-year-old Silas the Second, a boy with nimble fingers whom John trains into a lethal marksman. No longer just a soldier, John becomes a reluctant leader responsible for the lives of 38 souls, navigating them through the furnace of war. IV. Color Fort and Leyla (1856) John’s group merges with Kevin Color’s camp. Severely wounded and teetering on the brink of death, John is saved by a young woman named Leyla. She becomes John’s second love, the only light capable of softening his battle-hardened heart. However, Kevin Color’s treacherous ambition and thirst for power turn the sanctuary of the fort into a blood-soaked slaughterhouse. V. The Tragic Finale: Closing the Circle In a final act of betrayal, Kevin Color sells out to the "White Coats," capturing John and Leyla. The cycle of retribution repeats Silas’s past sins: John and Leyla are bound back-to-back to an ancient tree and burned alive. Standing amidst the roaring flames, they find solace in each other’s arms, their final breath spent singing a song of love as they turn to ash.

[ Warning ] explicit language What would you do if you met someone who can not understand the meaning of joy? Happiness? Love? “It’s not that I believe it doesn’t make sense.

You’re right, I only work, eat and sleep. I think about nothing else. So what? What’s wrong with that? Why do I have to live my life the way you want me to live? Can’t you just give me a break?” “I can’t” says the man, “I can’t and I won’t” he raises his voice, “I love you Calla, you have been loved either you recognize it or not, I love you” he sees Calla standing up and then he rushes to hold her wrists, “You are mine Calla, you belong with me...
