Prologue: Give Me a Day
The Western Demon Realm of the Empire, a perilous frontier where wondrous relics, breathtaking untamed wilderness, mythical demonic beasts, and ancient ruins lay slumbering.
The receptionist at the Pioneers' Guild, the organization spearheading the frontier's colonization, pushed up his glasses and asked, "And what, precisely, can you do, Mage?"
The man beneath the deep cowl of his robe answered evenly.
"I hear you are building a new pioneer city on the southwestern frontline."
"That is correct. Though they've barely broken ground at this stage."
"Give me just one day."
"Pardon?"
The man smiled faintly.
"I will build you a city."
