"I should’ve died with them... Why the didn’t I die with them?"

Luna Lightstone was once the legendary leader of the Hero Party, a group of heroes who rose to fame defending the realm from darkness. But after a brutal final battle against the Dark Lord, she became the sole survivor—left to carry the weight of her comrades' deaths.

Now, at 26, Luna is a broken shadow of her former self. Drowning in guilt, alcoholism, and self-loathing, she wanders the land as a drunken vagabond, haunted by nightmares of the past. Her once-bright spirit has been eroded by grief, and she no longer sees herself as a hero—only a failure who should have died with them.
