Chapter 1 - Chapter One — Prologue

A gang of strangers wandered into our village one morning, making a beeline straight for the chief's house.

"See that old guy with the yellow circle over his head? That's the one you get quests from," one of them said, pointing at our chief.

Yellow circle?

I looked around in confusion.

The chief's got a yellow circle floating over his head?

Where? Where exactly?

I turned my head, blinked, even tilted sideways for good measure.

Still nothing. No glow, no halo, no floating emblem shimmering in the air. Just old Chief Lu, leaning on his cane, with maybe a faint smudge of sunlight on his thinning hair—but that was probably just the morning glare.

Where was this yellow circle they were talking about? Because no matter how hard I stared… I just couldn't see it.
