Synopsis of Theogony
It is a time of war where relentless battles continue between human and demi-human tribes, as the Gray Apes (Monkeys) and Pig People (Ogres) invade human lands. Kai, a boy from the village of Rag, spends his days immersed in battles to protect his village.
Amidst the fierce battles waged by those who wield immense power, known as “guardian bearers,” and as his comrades fall one by one, Kai suddenly recalls memories he shouldn’t have—memories of a world with advanced technology and knowledge of people’s lives beyond this world.
And so, although Kai was just a villager, he soon found himself embroiled in great trials… A magnificent fantasy tale that chronicles the struggle and growth of a unique boy in a harsh world.
