A Girl named Clarice

Clarice, a young girl with long, bright red hair, grew up in the slums of Sambas City. Despite the city's wealth and prosperity, the slums were a harsh and unforgiving place. Because of this, she learned about the cruelty of the world at an early age. To survive, she and her fellow orphans turned to thievery. What began as petty theft soon grew into larger and riskier crimes as each day passed. Then, on one fateful day, the city became the center of the world's attention. A Regalia—one of the Twelve Strongest Sacred Gears—was put up for auction. Powers from every corner of the world gathered in Sambas, each hoping to claim the legendary treasure for themselves. Seeing an opportunity, Clarice planned to steal from the wealthy nobles and influential figures who had flooded the city. But something happened that she never could have imagined. Using her skills as a thief, she accidentally stole the Regalia itself. This brave yet reckless act shook the balance of power across the entire world. A young girl from the slums had suddenly obtained a treasure capable of dominating nations. The Empire was enraged. Kingdoms and principalities launched massive hunts to find her. The black market placed a bounty on her head. Every major power desired both her death and the Regalia for themselves. With the help of two mysterious travelers who saved her in her darkest hour, Clarice is thrust into a world far beyond anything she has ever known, becoming the most wanted thief on the planet.
