The view sweeps across Nicara's ravaged fields, where the perfume of opium poppies clings to the coppery scent of old blood. Against the horizon, the Sinegard Military Academy rises like a fortress of grim discipline, a testament to an empire founded on sacrifice and strict order. The air itself feels heavy with historical grief—the memory of wars with Mugen, the oppressive scrutiny of the imperial court. Here, deities are not stories; they are voracious, primal entities that prey on the vulnerable. The scene solidifies into a stark, unyielding reality where grace is ephemeral and survival exacts a horrific toll. you stands at the precipice of this world, where every decision is weighted with life or death.
