บท 51: Young man

Once, there was a young man named Theodor Lartan. He was a proud soldier of the Arcanis Empire, an empire that he was glad to be a part of.

From the moment of the Magical Revolution, suddenly, their empire became stronger and stronger with each year.

He was a young man at the age of twenty-one; thus, he was not able to see the dark times of the empire. But he had heard from his father.

According to him, life was incredibly hard back then. Diseases swept through villages like a relentless specter, claiming the lives of countless innocents. Maladies like the Crimson Fever and the Shadow Plague were rampant, decimating the population and leaving families broken.

Theodor's father had vivid memories of those dark days, where hope seemed to wane with every passing day. Food was scarce, and the land seemed cursed, yielding little to sustain the hungry masses.
