Chapter 1: Grey Lux
30,000 years after the tragedy, in the winter of a rundown area in the city of San Capital, there was a young boy being chased for stealing a cake.
"Capture him! He stole a cake from my store!"
Immediately, several residents caught the young boy and started beating him.
"You're gonna die, you little thief!"
"Caught you, petty thief!"
"Yesterday, you stole bread from my shop. Now you can't escape anymore."
. . .
Thud, thud, thud
. . .
"Take that, you little thief!"
"Consider it a lesson so you won't steal again."
"Now, leave this trash."
Some residents said after they had beaten the boy. . . .
The boy lay helpless on the street, his appearance tattered, his body thin, and covered in bruises and wounds.
"I got caught..." the boy said. Then he fainted in the cold street, with no one there to help him.
. . .
Finally, the boy regained consciousness and found himself in a different room.
"Where am I?"
I fainted on the street earlier, why am I here? Where is this?
The boy wondered in his mind, feeling confused.
He woke up in a luxurious room with a lit fireplace, lying on a soft bed, covered in a feather blanket.
This is a luxurious room, who brought me here?
He looked at his bandaged body and the wounds being treated, realizing that he was not wearing any clothes.
Who did this?
The boy wondered, observing his bandaged body.
"Finally, you're awake."
He heard a woman's voice and saw a girl bringing a warm soup.
"You were unconscious for two weeks."
"I saw you lying on the cold street, beaten up."
The girl said to him.
"Who are you, and where am I?" the boy asked.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Agnia Fai, the princess of the Agnia Kingdom. And this is my room. You are currently inside the Agnia Palace," Fai explained.
"Call me Fai. And what's your name?" Fai asked.
"I'm Grey Lux. Why am I here?" Grey said.
"I was visiting the city of San Capital when I saw you lying on the street. I brought you to my palace," Fai explained.
"Let's take care of your wounds first. I'll bring you a pair of clothes," Fai said. Then Fai left the room, leaving behind the warm soup she had brought, and Grey, who was still confused. Grey thought to himself, "Huh?"
