What becomes of those born with nothing? Are they doomed, with their morals turned against society, or can something else emerge within them? Those born without love or compassion, once they finally taste such blessings, will protect what they have gained at any cost. Ernst Adler is such a person. Despite wanting to live a peaceful life in accordance with the wishes of his adoptive family, Ernst becomes intertwined with a world that had been under the noses of the public eye. Hidden knightly orders and the influence of divine rot—singularities that should not mesh with the industrial revolution of man. The young man must strive to protect what he has gained—but, at what price?
