Plot[]
The city of Lael was currently demonstrating what the word chaos meant. The streets were filled with screams, thieves were running rampant, and all sorts of crimes were occurring without a care. It was not just a sudden uproar. It was after a great disaster that could only be described as divine punishment had already struck. People were losing their humanity. The word order did not exist. Only a crowd of people who had lost their minds and were running away to survive filled the city. However, even in this chaotic situation, even in this hell where darkness fell over their heads and thick volcanic ash poured down like a torrential downpour, there were those who persistently pursued greed. Like Carsan, who carefully walked to the treasure house of 'Ladael Sh'Lael', a magnificent five-story building that was now half-collapsed and once famous as the largest slave auction house in Karsel. Carsan said if he just dig this up... Carsan looked at the pile of rocks blocking the warehouse door. Fortunately or unfortunately, the warehouse itself was barely damaged. Only small rocks were blocking the warehouse door. Carsan said ...the treasure is his, hehehe. Carsan was buried in the ashes and sweated black sweat continuously. Eventually, Carsan was able to make a small hole that could fit his body. Carsan laughed and searched his pockets. A small, shiny, and exquisite golden key was in Carsan's hand. Carsan thought this should be enough, think of it as a severance pay, old man, this is the price for exploiting him all this time. Carsan fitted the key into the keyhole and turned it with all his might. Carsan thought of Dagpa, the auction house owner who had his head smashed by his hand after not telling him where the key was until the end. The key turned smoothly. The door opened right away. A deep smile formed on Carsan's lips. All kinds of gold coins, jewels, and other valuables that filled the warehouse were dazzling Carsan's eyes. Carsan laughed hehehehe. Carsan hurriedly took out his bag and filled it with whatever valuables he could get his hands on. With this treasure, Carsan could live a life of luxury wherever he went! However, Carsan did not know. The anecdotes of those who died in pursuit of greed in disasters were not necessarily stories made up only for the sake of promoting good and punishing evil. They were stories closer to the truth than lessons. Carsan asked huh, what this is. Carsan suddenly raised his head. The sound of something cutting through the wind was eerily clear in Carsan's ears.

Cecil, who had turned 16 this year and was a popular item at the Ladael Sh'Lael Auction House, was urging his feet to move through the thick black snow. Cecil moaned gasp, gasp gasp... At first, Cecil welcomed this disaster. To Cecil, who was destined to become a slave to the dirty nobles anyway, this disaster felt like a ray of salvation rather than divine punishment. At least, for the first disaster. However, Cecil had long since erased luck from his mind. Cecil asked damn it, Shine, he's okay. Cecil cursed and looked back at the boy he was supporting. The sickly boy was forcing his frail limbs to move and struggling to take his feet. Cecil shouted Shine have to move, if he stay like this, he'll die. Boy, Shine nodded weakly. Shine said it's... okay... Shine's voice, weak but not yet losing his will. Cecil turned his head away. So that Shine wouldn't see Cecil's flowing tears. Cecil thought damn it. Cecil had finally escaped the fate of slavery, but what awaited him was death. Faced with this astonishing reality, Cecil continued to walk while crying. The only thought that filled Cecil's mind was his mission to escape the hell that had unfolded on this earth. It was then that Shine suddenly stopped Cecil in his tracks. Someone asked Cecil. Cecil turned his head. Shine was already sickly. Shine wasn't originally sickly, but rather, he had been made sickly in the auction house to suit the tastes of some nobles. Cecil opened his mouth, determined to carry Shine if he collapsed. Cecil asked what's wrong, Shine can't walk. However, Shine's words were somewhat different from what Cecil had expected. Shine looked into the darkness and muttered quietly. Shine said the warehouse door is open. Cecil turned his gaze and looked where Shine was pointing. And then, in a moment, they were caught up in a conflict. It was a treasure trove where all the jewels and gold coins earned by the auction house were stored. Until just a moment ago, Cecil had only prioritized survival, but in that moment, the two letters "greed" began to appear in his head. Shine asked what they should do. Shine asked quietly, and Cecil just stared at the warehouse in silence. After a moment, Cecil shook his head. Cecil answered there's no time for that. Shine laughed. Shine said he knew Cecil had answer like that. They turned away without any regrets. That was when a long, loud noise echoed behind their heads. WHEEEEEEEEING! KWAAH! The two turned their heads in surprise. The hot volcanic bomb had hit the warehouse and caused a huge explosion. The two looked at each other. For some reason, no words came out. Cecil thought if they had gone in... Shine thought he would have just died... At that moment, it felt like someone had screamed from the warehouse, but Cecil quickly shook the thought away. Cecil said let's keep going, if they go towards the port, there will be a ship.
