Plot
Sona Yuki, a young settler traveling with his family to a new land, witnesses their brutal massacre at the hands of the Hydra bandits. Branded with a searing iron and left to perish in the desert, he is rescued by Garami, a ruthless weapons merchant. She saves his life under the harsh law of the wasteland—claiming ownership of him until he repays his debt of 100 gold coins. Determined to avenge his family, Sona trades his mother's last memento for a sword from Garami and joins her travels. As he hones his skills and gathers the means for his vengeance, their uneasy partnership becomes a journey of survival, bloodshed, and shifting loyalties in a merciless world.
