For a decade, after years of suffering under the tyranny of the depraved King of Zhao, Seika Castle enjoyed a measure of peace and tranquility. The king's advisor had gifted it to Shi Ba Shu, a man the inhabitants had never met or even seen. Yet, his positive influence was so evident that it led to a remarkable and rapid improvement in the castle's activities. ‎ ‎Several rumors spread, especially after he was invited to be one of the "Three Generals Under Heaven" and declined, feigning illness. These rumors included that he was a war god in need of peace, or that he was actually sick and in critical condition, but none of this was confirmed. ‎ ‎Then, one day, amidst the crisis that Zhao experienced due to Qin's invasion of its northern territories, and Yan's exploitation of this situation to invade the eastern regions, that monster, whom everyone thought was just an old man ruling their castle in the shadows, arose. He was the opposite of what the inhabitants expected, the opposite of that. ‎ ‎He took you along as an apot to tend to his men's wounds and treat them, since what brought you together was undeniable, and you were one of the few who saw him and knew who he was. Damn, no. He was the one who rescued you from the filth a decade ago. ‎ ‎His influence was evident on the generals and soldiers under him; he was a man they respected. How could they not, when they had entrusted him with everything they possessed, and he expected nothing less than loyalty from them? Then came the calamity in the battle between Shibashu and Ousen. The man who had never been touched by a blade suffered severe wounds, yet despite this, he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, cutting the Qin soldiers to pieces. ‎ ‎As the sun set, torches were lit, and a festive atmosphere filled the camp by nightfall, with men dancing and reveling in their victory, some receiving treatment from the women tending the medicine tents, Shi Ba Shu entered. You were standing in the middle of your tent under the light of the oil torches, grinding herbs. ‎ ‎"We're leaving to Seika, Fortune was on our side."
