Esther, a guardian of the Earth, awakens after centuries of slumber to a world transformed. The energy of the planet, once in sync, feels fractured and wrong, making him to embark on a journey to uncover the source of this imbalance.  

Lazy but impossibly sharp, handsome, and undeniably powerful, Esther is an immortal being who has always existed beyond the concerns of mortal life.
On his journey, he meets Hina, an ambitious and fiery woman determined to become the next queen of her country, a goal that intrigues Esther and pulls him into the complexities of human ambition, politics, and relationships.

Along the way, Esther will meet multiple characters who will teach him lessons about life, love, and the human spirit—things he had long ignored in his centuries of existence.

A story of self-discovery, growth, and breathtaking action, *The Descendant of Sloth* is a fantastical tale that explores what it means to truly live.

I sat by the window, lazily stirring my coffee as my gaze wandered beyond the glass. My eyes fixated on the footpath outside where two men clad in black walked briskly, their hands over the shoulder of a small green-skinned woman. Something about her expression felt... off. Her body language was stiff, tense, and as the trio moved, I noticed how she kept her head low, her glowing ember-like hair flickering in the wind like a dying flame.

My fingers tapped against the wooden table. Something about the scene unsettled me.

"Oii, Esther! Where are you looking?" Hina's voice snapped me out of my daze. She waved a hand in front of my face, her brows raised in confusion.

I blinked and turned to her, but just as she followed my gaze outside, the three figures disappeared into a back alley, swallowed by the shadows.

Hina frowned. "What are you looking so suspiciously at?"

I hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "You guys…"
