AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalA war‑scarred mercenary teams up with a coffin‑carrying princess to bury a tyrant’s legacy.
Five years after the legendary Eight Heroes toppled the tyrannical Taboo Emperor, the continent is finally breathing peace. Yet the scars of war linger in the hearts of those who lived it. Tooru Acura, a former saboteur who once thrived on chaos, now drifts through a tranquil world that offers no outlet for his battlefield instincts. His routine shatters when a mysterious, silver‑haired wizard named Chaika Trabant appears, lugging a coffin on her back and demanding his aid. Chaika claims she is on a solemn quest to collect the scattered relics of her father—none other than the infamous Emperor Gaz—so she can lay him to rest. She enlists Tooru and his adoptive sister Akari, promising a purpose that matches their lethal skill set. Unbeknownst to them, the newly formed Council of Six Nations has dispatched the relentless Kleeman Agency, led by the cold‑calculated Albéric Gillette, to capture the so‑called “Coffin Princess.” As the trio races across war‑torn ruins, they uncover the unsettling truth behind Chaika’s lineage and the true cost of resurrecting a despot’s legacy. Torn between loyalty to a stranger and the fragile peace their world has fought so hard to achieve, the Acura siblings must decide whether to aid a daughter seeking closure or to protect a continent still healing from its darkest chapter.
