Story Description
In a quiet village surrounded by vast forests, Kuro, a young adventurer with a talent for healing magic and survival skills, lives a peaceful yet mysterious life. Though he seems like nothing more than a wandering healer, his dreams tell a different story-visions of a blurry girl in a green dress, her voice just beyond his reach, and a past he cannot remember.
One day, Kuro and his childhood friend Kaede, an energetic swordswoman, encounter strange shadowy creatures lurking near an ancient tree. Their presence is unnatural, their hollow eyes watching, waiting. When Kuro touches the tree, a buried memory stirs within him-one that feels dangerously connected to his lost past.
As the village headmaster unravels old legends of powerful trees, forgotten warriors, and hidden threats, Kuro finds himself at the heart of a mystery far greater than he imagined. What are these creatures? Why does the past feel so close? And why does he sense that something-or someone-is waiting for him beyond the veil of lost time?
With Kaede at his side, Kuro embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about his past, the origin of his abilities, and the danger that looms over the world. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes-some memories are locked away for a reason.
