[Snow Night Empire]
The city known as Wind City lies at the northernmost border of the Empire, adjacent to the Winter Forest. It is essentially one of the front lines in humanity's resistance against the abyssal demons.
In this city, inside the Marquis's mansion, sits Marquis Xiumu. A battle-hardened hero who has waged many wars against abyssal demons, he's now 110 years old and wears a sorrowful expression. His mansion, built on the mountainside, allows him to view the distant Winter Forest.
Naturally, he witnessed the large-scale natural phenomenon just now.
Already physically and mentally exhausted due to family problems, he couldn't help but feel extremely desolate after seeing the towering red pillar of light.
The internal troubles, coupled with the external troubles that may come, made this veteran warrior feel helpless.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in."
Xiumu said lightly.
