Bera was a beggar who survived by any means necessary, even if it meant stepping on others or making vile deals. When the Demon King appeared, he did not fight like a hero; he hid in the shadows and focused only on staying alive. He outlived the war, but his reward was a curse.
Dying alone, he expected no one to stay by his side. Instead, he woke up in a filthy gutter with Renée, the blind Saintess believed to be dead, standing before him. Scarred and blind, she looked pitiful, yet she showed Bera a kindness no one else had. She died anyway, and he could not save her.
After regressing, Bera swore to find her first and protect her this time. But keeping Renée safe is not just a matter of getting stronger. On the day her sacred stigmata appear, the Holy State, the Empire, the Alliance of Kingdoms, the Draconians, and the Followers of the Night all start moving around her, and the whole continent is set in motion.
