Yggdrasil Weeps - A Scalarian Song

On a young world, a Slayer named Kyoumu Kage - tasked with the job of defanging newly integrated wildlands, protect the local townships from the monsters born of an imperfect terraforming process, and paving the way for humanitiy's slow growth out into the newly integrated territory on a small colonial world at the edge of The Vetorian Monarchy, a comital clan and a Vassal Civilization of the Great Golden Empire, The Impyrium.

Here, he hides in retirement.

Suffering from a Shattered Being and cracked Intent, Kyo tries to learn how to care again as he wanders through lazy contemplation.

Then, the interventions of other's needs and an impending disaster tears Kyo's attention back to reality.

He finds himself at the center of a swirling conspiracy. The World Tree is dying, and no one knows why. Only once before has a World Tree fallen, and he himself witnessed the horror and destruction caused by its death. If he must, he will go to any extreme, push any bounds of rationality, to stop the tragedy that beset his own homeworld from repeating here, in this far-flung corner of human civilization.

Beset by opponents both internal and external, the Slayer must fight his way through a growing legion of opposition.
