Warden wakes up in a wilderness with a hole in his mind, deprived of all his memories. Lost, he found within himself an aptitude for combat and magic. On happenstance, he rescues a pair of youths and an entire village, pushing him into a renowned academy of mages and warriors alike to become a teacher. Warden adventures across the divided land of Ezim, determined to unravel the mysteries of his past. However, the task becomes incredibly hazardous when his own path—the ruinous power of Void that runs through his veins—holds a connection to the Traitor Gods, who threaten to cast their shadow upon the world once more. ____________
"It's like a picnic here," Elder Ming said as Agnes handed him a plate of serving.
"Sort of," Warden admitted. "I had invited a few more people, but it looks like some of them are busy..."
"You know how hard it is to get a rest for the 16th infantry," Agnes said. "But Caleb and others did say they would be coming after their guard duty is over. You just have to keep the food and booze ready for them."
Warden nodded. Other than his friends from the 16th infantry, his commanding officer, Captain Jessica and her sergeant, hadn't joined either.
"Regardless," Warden said, releasing a deep exhalation. "This is enough to give me a pardon, right?"
Elder Ming lifted his head from the food to meet his gaze. He didn't answer, probably contemplating what more he could gain from this debacle.
