Description

On a hidden moon circling Earth, a wild jungle spreads across valleys that glow with an otherworldly lake and towering, vine‑clad trees. Here the air is breathable and strange peoples—gold‑skinned leaders, fierce jungle dwellers called Vasads, and exiles from distant cities—struggle for survival. The story opens with Noork, a memory‑wiped wanderer who has taken refuge among the forest’s savage inhabitants, when he encounters Tako, a golden‑skinned huntress armed only with a bow and a dagger.

Their uneasy meeting quickly turns into a tentative partnership as they share rumors of slavers, rebel leaders, and a mysterious shrine that haunts the mist‑filled lake. Both are driven by a desire to uncover the truth behind their pasts and the hidden dangers threatening their fragile world. As they trek deeper into the jungle, the fragile alliance hints at larger conflicts waiting beyond the valley’s edge.
