The Archivist

In a world ravaged by the horrors of a land ravaging war, Rafael, a battle-hardened archivist haunted by the fresh memories of a conflict that decimated his homeland, embarks on a solitary journey through the wilderness. Scarred physically and emotionally, he seeks solace far from the remnants of a civilization that has lost its way. As Rafael traverses the unforgiving terrain, struggling to survive with only his wits and a few cherished tomes, he stumbles upon a hidden gem nestled deep within the wilderness—a thriving village of beastmen, a enigmatic race known for their otherworldly physical prowess bestowed upon them by their God, Meutal. Initially met with wary eyes and wary claws, Rafael's fate takes an unexpected twist when he demonstrates his peaceful intentions and offers his knowledge as a gesture of goodwill. The village's elder, Gris, recognizes the deep wounds Rafael carries, both in body and spirit, and extends the hand of acceptance to the war-weary archivist. Finding sanctuary among the beastmen, Rafael tries his best to cope with the trauma of the war, along with a nagging discomfort that follows him around.
