In a realm where monster onslaughts are common and relentless, joining an adventuring party is prized for the glory and renown it bestows. Aiming to carve out a reputation, a young human fighter named Alvin plans to launch his career by tackling a low‑level quest issued by the guild. On his way, Alvin encounters a spellbound bear that immediately puts him in danger. Fortuitously, a dark‑elf healer named Karla appears and offers assistance—seemingly unaware of the peril before her. After a conversation tangled by Karla"s wildly quirky nature, Alvin persuades her to aid him. Unfortunately, instead of mending his wounds, she inadvertently unleashes a curse: should Alvin wander too far from her, he will die. Although compelled to travel with Karla until the curse is lifted, Alvin stays resolute in his goal of becoming a full‑blown adventurer. With a companion at his back, the path toward that dream may become simpler—or more difficult—depending on Karla"s caprice. The journey through perilous forests and crumbling ruins tests their resolve, while the curse looms like a silent threat. Alvin's determination fuels his every step, yet Karla"s unpredictable magic keeps them on edge.
