MC

When the boy opened his eyes, it was so.
The gentle sunlight that heralds spring. And the clear sky hanging on branches full of golden leaves.
Not knowing when he existed or how he lived, he took a few steps when an intense hunger, as if twisting his insides, overwhelmed him.
What kind of being was I? Just as endless questions were about to coil, one thought twisted the snake's neck.
I must live. Though he didn't know why, such a thought filled the boy's mind.
As he moved with a determination to survive, a young girl approached him.
"You're someone I've never seen before. Are you perhaps traveling?"
As if drawn by something, the boy answered her words and fainted once more.
The girl with a warm smile, Miyone, treated the unfamiliar boy warmly as if he were an old friend, without any wariness.
The boy spent time with the girl's family and naturally became part of them, as if led by fate.
He learned swordsmanship through the girl's family and began to learn cooking by following the girl.
In the village of Golden Wood, famous for its golden trees, he pieced together the fragments of his empty life one by one.
However, as time passed, the boy faced farewell, just as he had met the girl.
The terrible memory of that day. The time he wished to turn back. After endless nightmares, he awoke in a place called the Kamp Mercenary Corps.
Those who saved the boy's life looked at him with pity, having no ties to him.
While he spent time as if dead, refusing even the kindness they offered, Kana, an officer of the Kamp Mercenary Corps, spoke to him.
"Are you just going to waste time like this? If so, at least eat something!"
"..."
"I sympathize with what happened to the place you were, but doesn't that mean you should live even harder?"
"..."
"You are the only survivor of Golden Wood. It means you're the only one who can do something for those who have left, you fool."
For some reason, upon hearing those words, anger began to boil in the boy's heart. Those who took away his precious ones. Those who burned his hometown.
Thinking of them, the boy decided to reconsider his reason for living.
For his one and only family.
