Series Synopsis
"It’s a time of warfare where relentless battles continue between human and demi-human tribes like the Ash Monkeys (Macaque) and pig people (Ogres) invading human lands.
Kai, a boy from the village of Rag, spends his days fighting to protect his village.
Amidst fierce battles waged by powerful beings called 'guardian bearers', Kai begins to remember memories he shouldn’t have — memories of a world with advanced technology and knowledge beyond this world.
Despite being just a villager, Kai finds himself drawn into monumental struggles. A grand fantasy story of growth and resilience unfolds in a harsh world."
