Geruke is a legendary warrior turned blacksmith apprentice. He is best friends with a girl called Lyrassa. A monster attacked her. She survived, but Geruke found out that the monster poisoned her. His best friend was about to die, and he didn’t know what to do. That was until he found out that there was an antidote that could save her.

He wanted to buy it, but it was too expensive. So he took out a loan from a religious order of knights. They were called the Templaga. He didn’t have the money to pay them back. So he went into debt. The interest increased. He had to suffer monthly, and sometimes weekly, beatings from them, demanding that he pay them back.

One day, they came to his home. They threatened to arrest him in a week’s time if he didn’t cough up the money he owed.

Will Geruke let himself get arrested and killed? Or will he get his hands bloody by fighting for his survival?
