His life takes a sinister turn with the arrival of a mysterious traveler who claims to carry an urgent message for the royals. An opportunity bearer but at what cost? As night deepens, Oswald uncovers a shocking destiny that goes beyond mere survival. His night wanderings are no mere sleepwalking; they are tied to the dreadful beast that haunts his village. This wolf-like creature prowls the valley, bringing dread as the specter of war looms closer. Blood will flow, loyalties will be tested, and Oswald must face the beast within as he strides the perilous path between humanity and monstrous power.

The pact

It had been so much time since she had been disrespected so hard that Claudia forgot how to react.

"Recruit, it seems you're misunderstanding how important sister Claudia is to the camp. If you were to disregard how significant her opinion is, you'll face consequences only her shall name." Anderson said, tapping his finger on the table. He liked Oswald's cockiness, but because it derived from the boy's ignorance, it wasn't as great as he expected. He continued.

"Since you're asking, we'll make a contract. You'll be given the rank of soldier, you'll remain with the recruits, with a little more right than them, you shouldn't encounter much troubles but more attention which is what we need. Take this promotion as the consequences of your cold murder."

Ward commented. "You'll be quite a symbol for the rebellious' oppression. It means you'll be a card we can play, not someone who can kill freely."
