Synopsis

After retrieving the Dragon-Scaled Demon Egg and being rewarded for completing a high-level quest, the protagonist stumbles upon an altar guarded by a 'Protector.' They are coerced into accepting a new mission demanding the hearts of three sovereign-ranked beings (dragon, demon, and human) within a month to upgrade their daggers. Failure will lead to a severe stat penalty, pushing them to seek help from their organization, Penumbra, after doing research at the library.
