About
After a brief war, Calvard enjoys unprecedented economic prosperity. However, public uncertainty is increasing as the number of immigrants increases and questionable political reforms proliferate. He follows the spriggan Van Arkride on a unique request that will turn out to be more than he bargained for. Will the nation fall into chaos?
The story so far…
The life of the spriggan is just one of the many professions that have emerged in the Calvard Republic. Whether playing detective, negotiator, or bounty hunter, Van Arkride takes on the kind of work that legitimate sources can’t accept. Whether best left out of public view or rooted in the dark corners of the underworld, almost any job is open for consideration.
The year is S.1208. A prim and proper young woman dressed in the uniform of a prestigious academy visits a run-down multi-tenant building in the old town of Edith, the country’s capital. With a very dignified look, she looks at the door plate in front of her. She says: ‘ARKRIDE Solutions Office: Just complicated matters.’
Steeling himself, he knocks on the door three times.
“The first thing in the morning…?” —a relaxed but surprisingly young voice growls with a yawn.
From the moment he opens the door to greet her, a new story begins.
