    Wanted criminal Hong Shen finally meets his end after being stabbed in the back by a comrade. As he makes his final resting place under a dead plum tree, he submits to death.

    Instead, he receives two choices: die, or be given a second chance.

    To take the second chance means he must complete a trial in the past in order to return to the present. But what he doesn't know is that the trial isn't only difficult for him, but even more difficult for the person he must be to fulfill it.

    Senior Guardsman Apprentice, Adga, is an Illorc and a commoner, neither of which would qualify her for service as a Guardsman of the Combined Desert Realm.

    Whatever god it is that determines the destiny of those such as Adga, seems to have taken a special interest in her. How else can you explain the Royal Sponsorship Pin of House Shunral, which she wears, and which was awarded by Lord Alagor Shunral himself? Things however, may be about to change for Adga and the Combined Desert Realm, as the world outside of the Realm is about to manifest itself.
