Land of the Four Seasons: Age of Gathering
Once upon a time, long, long ago, the world was engulfed in a great fire. People screamed to the heavens for salvation.
Then, 'Silver Peace' descended and whispered.
"I will give you survival. In return, give me your Breath."With that contract, the world did not perish. But people realized... breathing was no longer a given...[Breath] became not life, but 'resource'. Those with much Breath lived long, and those who lost Breath quietly disappeared from the world. So the world changed. People began to venture into dangerous lands and capture the living things there, converting their energy into [Breath]. Those people, they call them... [Collectors]
The world has not yet perished. But it has become an era where no one can breathe for free. A world where survival is a contract. An era where Breath is currency. And where you have set foot.This is 'Breath Peace'.
Welcome to a world where even breathing is a luxury, stranger.
