SYNOPSIS
Sorey spent his childhood isolated in the mountains, raised by seraphim: invisible spiritual beings that most humans can no longer perceive. He's always believed an ancient legend claiming humans once shared sight with these creatures, and he dreams of restoring that connection to unite both worlds in peace. When Sorey ventures into human civilization for the first time, he witnesses an act of violence that forces him to grasp a sacred sword lodged in stone. The moment his hand touches the blade, he transforms into a Shepherd: a warrior bound by fate to purify the world of calamity and corruption. The burden arrives instantly and heavily. Now Sorey must confront the reality that his childhood fantasy carries real weight. His naive vision of coexistence clashes against a world far more complicated than he imagined, where seraphim and humanity exist in fragile, often hostile tension. Alongside allies he gathers on the road, Sorey discovers that becoming a Shepherd means walking a path where dreams and destiny collide.
