The name of this world is Tellus. They say this is a world that stood upon the ashes of the Old World, the world of humans, but to me, it's a never ending cycle of the unknown. It's separated into four regions; Sceadu, Naurta, Nostrum, and Eurus. Inhabitants of this world are referred to as Tellusen, and despite having a wide variety of sub-races under different names, they will always be dubbed as Tellusen. Long ago, there were six influential figures for becoming the foundation of present Tellus, known as Progenitors, they are Dunskad, Ao, Mehi, Makos, Thnesko, and Ninnan. Everyone preaches them as if they are some sort of divine figures, but in truth, they are just regular beings, but their accomplishments are always seen with reverence.
No one exactly knows how Tellus started, while a popular theory states it existed after The Great Break.
The Great Break was a worldwide event that marked the victory of Tellusen against humans. It was time of significance where Progenitors managed to brought down a reign of terror and destruction, consequently leading to the adjustment of the world to how the victor sees fit. All of this massive change leads to a more pressing matter; if the world was changed, then what happened to the surviving humans?
Ultimately, there were two types of humans that rose during the war’s aftermath; those who continued to live amid immense pressure from Tellusen, and finally, the troublesome ones whose primary activity is to cause terror across the land.
The latter in particular, are keenly engaged by the idea of reclaiming their lost glory, and that means wishing to drown Tellus in a fight for dominance. For their destructive ideals, humans were given a derogatary nickname; Defiled.
As a means of countermeasure, Keeper was founded, the only law enforcement agency in Tellus. An interesting fact about them is that the organization has no sole commanding figure, so authorities are evenly distributed to four Region Directors.
Apparently, my uncle, Roland Richter happens to be the Director of Eurus. You might think I'm enjoying the perks of nepotism, but no. It's quite the opposite actually. I'm not close, and I haven't had a heart-to-heart talk with him since ages for a simple reason.
I was born from the union between a Tellusen mother and a Defiled father, and the whole Richter Clan hates me for that.
A woman with many "mistakes", Juliette Richter commits to build the most normal and standard life of a law abiding citizen so that she may pay for her "mistakes". One day, she came across as a terrorist target, becoming another addition to her "mistakes".
Will she be able to pay her "mistakes", whatever that is?
