Luca, a priest candidate, spent the whole morning performing the sword dance that petitions the god for mercy.
And at last the god answered.
With high‑output charged particle cannons pouring down, tearing the atmosphere open.
“Make it painless…. Kill me…. Please….”
“There's no room aboard my ship for a corpse.
So don't give up.”
Luca, who survived alone, his body no longer whole, on a planet annihilated overnight.
The captain of the Nautilus who rescued him meets this death‑seeking Luca with tenderness.
But the captain has a secret….
“You said Luka. Your name. …Is it a coincidence, having the same name as me?
Your coming to my planet wasn't a coincidence either, was it?”
“Show me you have the will to live, and I'll tell you everything then.
Just don't say you want to die.”
But Aegis, the galactic empire's mightiest military force, doggedly hunts the ordinary priest candidate Luca, calling him ‘the Reaper of Aegis.’
Why does the captain risk his life to protect him?
“There was no coincidence in any part of how you came to board this ship.”
What is Luca's true identity?
Is it all right to trust this man who shares his name?
