Picaresque

Long ago, it was revered as a miracle. Today, the object that can cheat death with a mere clench of a fist—the 'Totem of Undying'—is a curse wielded by the wicked. Following the fall of the Ancient Builders, immortality ceased to be a gift from God; it became humanity's ultimate trial. It drives men to discard their very souls, ensnared in The Undying Paradox, while the powerless can only pray and grovel for mercy. ​Out of this turmoil, a mysterious boy arises. A self-proclaimed pacifist and ordinary human, he carries the burning wish to bring back the humanity that time forgot. He stands tall, resolved to destroy The Undying Paradox. However, his journey is plagued by enigmatic entities from 'above', watching and shadowing his footsteps like modern angels. ​Joining his quest are a blindfolded marksman whose arrows never miss their mark, and a detached, mysterious jester who keeps his secrets close to his chest. Though divided by caste and history, the trio is united by a single determination to expose the world's darkest secrets. They set forth on a long trek toward the obscured truth. Whether they will succeed? Only time and god know.Long ago, it was revered as a miracle.
