Temple knight candidate Luka had spent the entire morning performing the sword dance that beseeches the mercy of god.
And at last, god answered.
In the form of high-powered charged particle cannons tearing through the atmosphere.
“Kill me… gently…. Please….”
“There is no room on my ship for a corpse.
So don’t you dare give up.”
Luka — the sole survivor of a planet destroyed overnight, left broken in body and utterly alone.
The captain of the Nautilus who saves him treats a Luka who wishes only to die with quiet, steadfast gentleness.
But the captain holds a secret…
“You said your name was Luka. …Is it a coincidence that we share the same name?
And it’s not a coincidence that you came to my planet either, is it?”
“When you show me the will to live, I’ll tell you everything then.
Just stop saying you want to die.”
Yet Aegis — the most formidable military force in the galactic empire — relentlessly hunts the ordinary temple knight candidate Luka, calling him the Reaper of Aegis.
Why does the captain risk his life to protect him?
“There is no coincidence in any part of how you came to board this ship.”
What is Luka’s true identity?
Can he trust this man who shares his name?
