War... it's truly a terrible thing. So many people die meaninglessly. Soldiers and civilians alike.

I can feel death approaching me as well. How have I been living until now? Stabbing with a spear, slashing with a sword, screaming, some part of my body pierced by an arrow flying from somewhere... In the end, I chose to desert. This damned country isn't important. My survival is what matters. In this godforsaken era, a human's worth is less than ten arrows.

But I survived, though I can't take it anymore. I'm also hungry. Am I going to die now...? Then someone whispers to me, 'Live. And choose. It's 3 days' ...and I lost consciousness. Damn it, if you tell me to live, you should at least open a path for me to live, but I don't have the strength to shout.

And when I came to, what I saw was a boy. Wearing an eyepatch, roughly tying up his light brown hair, smoking a cigarette with a scrawny body, that guy started swearing at me, saying 'I thought you were going to die' while speaking informally. Well, he's still my savior. He even gave me food and told me to help with the chores. His name is Abel.

My life with him begins. In this village, unsurprisingly, the gaze towards deserters isn't kind. Abel doesn't seem to be treated well in the village either. But... it's still better than dying. Isn't there a saying, 'It's better to live in this world, even if you're rolling in dog poop'? But... 3 days? What will happen in 3 days?
