Year 2066. Maiquella (Astrum) Continent.
In a small unnamed town near the southwestern border of the yet-to-exist unified human empire, a young man about 15 years old was sitting in a corner of a dark alley.
His blue hair were covered in mud, and his dark blue eyes were filled with numbness and gave off a feeling that they were devoid of life.
Just from looking at the tattered clothes of the young man and his skinny body that seemed to be suffering from severe malnutrition, it was easy to guess that he was a beggar with no home or future to speak of.
Many passersby walked on the wide road and passed by the dark alley, but no one paid any attention to the young beggar sitting there in the darkness.
Even if someone did notice him, all they did was just shake their head in disgust and move away from him.
In the current chaotic world, humanity was plagued with internal and external conflicts due to the sudden descent of mana.
