Plunderer

In the world of Alcia, every person carries a Count engraved on their body, a number tied to something they do in life that determines status and power. If that Count reaches zero, its owner is dragged into the Abyss and never returns. Hina watched this happen to her mother, who left her with one final request: find the legendary Aces.

Years into her journey, Hina meets Licht Bach, a shameless and strange swordsman whose hidden strength makes little sense beside his low Count. He saves her from danger and pulls her into a much larger mystery connected to a war three hundred years earlier. As the truth about the Counts and the Aces emerges, it becomes clear that Alcia's entire system rests on a history someone desperately wants forgotten.
