Synopsis
For all his life, the mountain was all he knew. No ambition, no past, only the voice of his master and the small martial sister. Hidden far from the chaos of the outside world, a boy grows up in seclusion, trained for reasons never explained. His dreams, with warnings. Yet he never asked the questions as he trusted his master more than himself. But when fate arrives, even the unbreakable rules get broken, and a new journey begins. Beyond the cliffs on this mountain lies a world divided by unseen hands, one that has long forgotten what it once feared and revered. As he steps forward, unaware of himself, another power rises, unknown to anyone else. Some call it a coincidence. Others, destiny. But in places where old myths still breathe, even nameless wanderers can tip the scale. Putting this poetry attempt aside, MC, whose name is Danver, is an emotionless person. He is a type of person who talks as little as possible and is an ambitionless person who just wants to live peacefully with his master and the small martial sister on a mountain. His nature is like this because of the trauma he faced when he was little. Once every 2-3 months, a mysterious person comes and delivers them resources, overhearing his master's conversation that he doesn't have much time and only 1 person can do something about it, he left the mountain to look for that person, even breaking the unbreakable rule, which is to never go down the mountain. After coming to the city for the first time in his life, he finds it uncomfortable and difficult to blend in with the city. A person is looking for someone to dump the crimes of a young lord of an influential person, that's where Danver comes into his view and frames the MC for doing all the crimes, and then he gets sent to prison for crimes he didn't commit. But the prison is not just a simple prison; it's a prison for the most dangerous people in the world, and it also has its own dark secrets that are hidden from the world. That's where Danver's journey to discover all the secrets about the prison, about the world, and about himself starts.

Chapter 1 - Peaceful life

*Huff...* *Huff...* *ahgh…* Someone is running in the rain and is in a lot of pain, and she is also carrying a small baby with her.

*Uvee...* *Uvee...* The child carried by the woman keeps crying nonstop.

*Splash* *Splash* The sound comes as she runs on a street covered in water.

"Huh, what's going on? Why is everything so blurry, and… why am I crying?"

"Yosh Yosh…, It's ok, Danver; everything is alright." *Huff* *Huff...*

"Who... is she, where am I, and… where is she taking me?"

After he sorted his thoughts, he heard the sound of blazing fire seen atop the rooftops of all the houses, the raging screams of villagers echoing through the magenta air, and the sound of rain dancing as it dropped on the streets, now covered in crimson water.

"Are... those houses burning in the rain? And is the water red? *Agh...* I can't see properly; what's going on here?"

*Dhumm…* Then, suddenly a large sound came as something big crashed on the ground, and the woman had to stop as it blocked the road further, and she covered Danver from getting hit by debris. Then, as she looked back at the giant figure, she saw

"HmHmHm…" The giant figure slowly stands up, laughing, and the golden light shines in the smoke.

Then suddenly he plunges towards them and...

 

*Huff huff* "What was that?" *huff… huff…* "Another bad dream, huh…" Danver jolted up, sweat clinging to his neck, his breath shallow, and woke up with a heavy sigh.

Thinking of it as a normal occurrence happening every day in his life, he gets up from the bed and gets fresh to start his day.

After Danver leaves the cabin, he sees that the sun has yet to rise, and it's still a little dark, then he sees an old man named Venter stretching his body and keeping himself fit.

 

"Oh, good morning, Gramps." He said as he greeted the Venter.

"G... Gramps, it's Master, you cheeky brat," Venter said to Danver.

"And I am also not that old; I am still capable of anything, see—" *crack!* "m…my back."

"Yes… Yes…, Mas…Ter, you are still very young." Danver said as he helped his master.

"Y... You, what's with that tone of yours?" Venter got angry and scolded him as he sat to relieve pain.

"Master… shouting is not good for your health," he said, concerning the old man's health, calmly.

"Then whose fault do you think it is that I am shouting for, you idiot?"

"By the way, are you ok shouting like that? Hana might wake up, you know; she is still a child; she needs proper rest."

"a.kk, Y... You brat, 1000 laps of this mountain now."

"Ok. Ok." Danver said as he went to complete the 1000 laps of this mountain.

 

Danver is living on the mountain with Venter and Hana; they live in wooden houses and cabins. As they live on the mountain, they are the only ones living on this mountain, which is isolated from the world, and it's even prohibited to come near this mountain. They live their lives peacefully without interference from anyone, only with nature and animals.

After a long time, Danver returns after completing his 1000 laps of the mountain and plans to meet Hana, but then, as he was about to go meet her, Venter stops him and tells him that she is currently training, and no one is to disturb her, so Danver leaves her alone and starts to do other chores.

As they are living in the mountains, Danver has to do everything from cutting the wood to cooking to cleaning to laundry—everything—as Venter makes excuses of his old age and Hana is still a child, so she can't do it.

 

Then Venter approaches him while he is cutting the woods and asks, "Oy, how is your progress in training?"

"Ah, master, it's as it is, stagnant."

"Hmm, continue doing your training; it will bear fruit eventually. You just need to train constantly."

"Leaving the trivial matters, Ca… Can you tell Hana that she needs to eat properly? Today she didn't eat veggies in food, you know. She needs to eat properly to grow, and why does she listen to you more than me?"

"Ugh, Hana, why don't you listen to your grandpa? Your grandpa is sad."

"But Gramps, you just said you are not that old."

"Shut up, you brat, and call me master, you rascal."

"Yes, master, I will discuss this with her; don't worry. … And Master, did you take medicine properly today? You keep forgetting them."

*tch* "I took my medicines today as well, ok? And the last time I forgot was days ago; when will you stop bringing that up?"

"It doesn't matter, master, so how are you feeling now?"

"I am perfectly fine, and you don't need to worry about that, and what do you mean by it…huh?"

A person wearing a full-body robe-type cloth with a hood suddenly appears out of nowhere; no body parts of that person are visible, so it can't be determined who it is, and that person has a rag bag with them as well, which is tightly filled with too many things.

"Continue doing your work; I will be back," Master said as his expression became sincere, and he went with that person.

"Yes, master," he said calmly, unbothered by that person, and continued to do his work.
