Chapter 1: Alliance Summit

One color stained everything. Red. The red of the burning forest. The red of the burning village. And the red of his burning brethren.

The strength in his legs failed abruptly, and he collapsed to the ground. He didn’t notice the terrible heat from the all-consuming flames assaulting his skin nor the leaping embers burning him. He simply stared at the sight before him in a daze.

He could think of nothing. His mind refused to work, making his thoughts unclear. His vision blurred and shook.

His home, the place where he’d been born, was peaceful and beautiful, existing in harmony with nature. So why...was it on fire?

“Shaima...”

A body rested in his arms. A person who was—who would never again move. A single glance at the stab wound in her chest told him that it had been fatal.

The first thing he felt was a deep sadness so profound that it almost destroyed both his mind and his soul. The next thing he felt was a violent rage so fierce that it threatened to rip him apart from the inside out and drown everything before his eyes in a torrent of blood. And the last thing he felt was enlightenment.

So this is how the world works.

The strong preyed on the weak. And they, in turn, were eaten by those even stronger. If one wished not to be consumed by the absurdity of the world, then one needed to become strong. He had lived this life under this tenet that had been taught to him, and it had proved to be true.

This absurdity makes the world what it is.

At long last, what surged forth from within his chest was the will to rebel. Rebel against the hopeless unfairness of the world. For the sake of peace.

He knew a great deal of blood would be shed under the banner of those words. A great many lives would be lost. If he followed through with this defiance, he knew that he himself might create numerous misfortunes as well. Even so, he would do it. He had to do it.

For the sake of his dead brethren and dead kin. For the sake of his dead wife. As the sole survivor, it was his fate to see this through for them, hatred toward the world’s absurdity festering in his heart.

“You... You were the one who told me to have great hopes. And it seems...I have a new one now.”

A single tear spilled from the red-haired warrior’s eye as he stood up, still cradling his beloved wife’s corpse in his arms.

The Elvish Enclave. Situated between the demon and human worlds, the entire area was covered by a deep forest. There, representatives from three races gathered.

The first, the elves inhabiting these woods.

The second, demons under Demon King Fynar’s standard who were working steadily to build relations with other races.

The third, humans from the Kingdom of Alisia, led by the king himself.

At the moment, the leaders of each group were conducting a meeting in a council room located in the elvish settlement.
