In a lively tavern, an old sailor shares tales of a mysterious portal beyond the cliffs, promising treasure, immortality, and strange powers, though many who sought it never returned. A scruffy, bold sixteen-year-old boy, Taro Frossfin Lee, enters, drawing attention with his hunger and defiance. After causing a scene by devouring meat in a butcher’s shop and passing out, Taro is confronted by Kai, the village protector. As Kai questions him, bandits led by the fearsome Rook, known as the Elephant, attack the village. Kai fights valiantly with his magical sword but is overpowered by Rook. Just as Kai faces death, Taro intervenes, knocking Rook through a house with a single kick. Emerging from the flames, Taro declares he’s on a journey to the “Fourfold Heaven,” leaving Kai stunned and hinting at his hidden power and mysterious purpose.

The Rouge One's

There is a holy river. Many people drown in it and drink its water, but only a few gain magical abilities.

Those who receive magic and can form their powers into weapons are considered basic level.

Those who can go further—circulating their magic and wrapping it around their bodies—are called intermediate level.

When someone reaches the intermediate stage, they can unlock one of the five elements.

Most people reach this level around the age of 32, and going beyond that is extremely rare and very difficult.

Rook wraps magic around his hammer.

Rook charges and shouts, "Die, you little shits!"

He swings the hammer from above with full power.

Taro dodges just in time—the hammer smashes into the ground, breaking it apart, stone flying in all directions.

Taro wraps magic around his hand and blocks the next swing mid-air—bare hand against hammer.

The shock shakes his whole body. His feet drag back, leaving lines in the dirt—but he holds it.

He clenches his jaw, pushes the hammer away, then jumps—knee to Rook's chest, followed by a spinning kick to his face.

Rook grunts. He steps back, angry now.

Taro flips over it, lands, and rushes forward again.

Taro punches hard—once, twice, three times—each hit glowing with magic. His last strike lands on Rook's shoulder.

Taro yells with power, pushing back—throwing the hammer away with all his strength.

Rook flies backward, crashing into the ground, sliding across dirt and broken stone.

Kai is lying on the side. He kept his eyes open and watched the whole fight.

Taro said, "Hey Kai, this is not mine to win. This is yours."

I couldn't protect anyone... not even myself.

"Kai, you're not weak. You'll get stronger one day to protect people around you".

Taro's words echoed—just like his father's.

For a moment, Kai didn't see a boy…

Now join with me to protect everyone.

Kai stands by Taro's side, joins the fight.

Rook staggers to his feet, brushing off dust and asked,

Not Mine to Win
