Sins and the War God

The ironclad rule of alchemy is a cruel one: Equivalent Exchange. Magic, on the other hand, is a divine dispensation. But why would the high and mighty gods permit such a rule-breaking, cost-free anomaly to exist in this world? When the young boy, Lune, wakes up in Kiehulan—a border town awash in fluttering red maple leaves—his memories are still stuck on a pleasant journey to the Imperial Capital with his father. However, what awaits him isn't a heartwarming father-son reunion. Instead, it's a sky swarming with the Empire's top-tier Silverwing Fighters—and an utterly inexplicable, frantic carpet bombing! To make matters worse, he’s suddenly flanked by a cranky, white-haired old man who won't stop nagging while claiming to be his bodyguard, and a gentle, masked alchemist who flat-out refuses to speak?! "Wait, wait, wait! Uncle, what did you just say? That invincible 'War God' who shook the Empire seventeen years ago... is actually me?!" "You've got to be kidding me! I'm clearly just an ordinary kid who got lost! You guys definitely have the wrong person—!" Thus begins a chaotic road-trip escape filled with snarky retorts and the smoke of gunpowder. On this journey where alchemy and magic intertwine, what unravels along the way is not merely a twisted fatherly love, but an ancient, crushing regret spanning centuries. —They say that pain and sin are hereditary.Even if someone once tried to sever that curse with their own bloodstained hands.
