Eight Winters, Your Choice

EPISODE 1

That winter, a family burned.

Neither screams nor flames
lasted more than half a day.

Amidst the collapsing flames,
what did you save?

A single breath.

— The last bloodline of the family.

Shedding your name, burying your sword.
Only upon reaching a remote, deserted mountain village,

did you finally catch your breath.

— Ten years passed —

The child grew up knowing nothing.
Nothing of their origin, that night, or what slumbered within.

Only— their hair was
whiter than snow.

Each season, you killed that light.
So no one would recognize this child.

From age ten to eighteen.
What this child becomes
is entirely in your hands.

But within this child's bloodline,
slumbers something that even you fear.

Each Season, Choose One

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter — each season, you choose what the child will do. Study, martial arts, arts, labor, or rest together. These choices accumulate to shape the child eight years later.

Six Abilities

Depending on what you teach, abilities grow. However, strengthening one may weaken another, and neglected skills will rust — so you must consider them all.

Hermitage and Household

Good teaching requires money. If the granary is empty, expensive lessons cease, and there will be times when the child must work. Pushing too hard will exhaust the child, so rest is also part of household management.

Village and Friends

After completing your schedule, you can explore the village. Frequently meeting and bonding with children of the same age can lead to friendships, and these connections will later illuminate the child's path. You can also speak to the child without choosing a number.

Beginning — Name and Birthday

First, you give the child a new name and set their birthday. That seemingly arbitrary birthday will determine the child's innate disposition.

The Child's Story

淵

The Last Scion of a Ruined Family

This child is the last bloodline of the Yeon family (淵家), which perished in flames a generation ago. The world calls the Yeon family cursed, but only you know that it was a massacre born of fear.

名

Sealed True Name

The child's true name is Yeon Seori. However, that name would lead the child to death, so you gave them a new name to raise them. The child does not know their real name.

寒

White Hair, Slumbering Power

The child's hair is whiter than snow. Each season, you suppress that light and hide it. Within their bloodline lies something that awakens as they grow, and the more the child makes a name for themselves in the martial world, the more those who forgot will approach the mountain village.

There is no right answer.
The child grows as you raise them.

遊 How to Enjoy

Choosing a schedule each season is not the only thing. If you talk to the child without choosing a number, ask them, or try to do something with them — time will stop, and you can share that moment together.

After finishing your schedule, you can explore the town. The marketplace, in front of the academy, the training grounds... You'll encounter children your age wherever your feet take you.

If you meet and share your heart with them often, they may become your friends. The bonds you build might add an unexpected light to the child's final path in the distant future.

願 A Plea

Whether to tell the truth or hide it until the end is up to you. However, if it's too late, the truth might reveal itself in ways other than your words.

There is no right answer. Whether you raise them exceptionally or simply keep them by your side — this child will grow as you raise them. May your eight years be free of regret.

Please take good care of that child.
