If Naph, a 17 year old, was asked what’s the value of a life? He may answer, “not much.”
He would be lying. Extremely. Based on his own experience and his one true goal.
Anaphol, aka, Naph, had just killed Bulwark. A 12 year old child designated as a terrorist in a world that is just around the corner to pass its established steampunk era.
The bounty on her head? 10 million Tarna. With a condition, ‘bring her head back clean and undamaged.’
Money he wanted to collect for his goal of delivering justice in a place far away. But the consequence of killing Bulwark? A war of enormous proportion on the country that took him in, the very same country that put the bounty on Bulwark.
As he began realizing the weight of the consequence, a ray of hope came from the very same light source of his morality. Don Extea gave him a message to follow and he followed it. The message entangling him further into the stories and fate of the world he did not want to become part of.
“What a world, as if it is in fact a dark fantasy wanting to be a steampunk.” Remarked a noble referred to as the Duchess of Knowledge in the platinent Jhorime.
That only entangled him further and further into what the world demanded out of his existence, pulling him away from the goal he wishes to complete and pushes towards his goal despite it all. Yet, despite everything that keeps happening, one word kept ringing in his mind until he learned its true meaning before he could complete his own goal, the word being: “Cata.”
