Gideon was part of the Hero’s Party, a strong group led by his sister Ruti, meant to save the world from evil. His Blessing let him survive in any place, and he showed that extra skills can be super useful. But one day, Ares, the Party’s second-in-command, thinks Gideon is holding them back and kicks him out. Gideon listens to Ares and leaves without telling Ruti.
Gideon wants an easy life on the frontier, so he moves to a town at the border and opens a medicine shop, calling himself Red. But keeping his past a secret isn’t easy, especially when Rit, a beautiful adventurer from his old life, shows up and wants to stay with him!
