Year 1552 — an event occurred. At that time, relations between Vius and Tisup were still tense in the border city of Riaska, Vius.
Gis walked cheerfully. "Come on, over here!"
His best friend, Florence, chased after him. "Wait for me, Gis!"
Gis stopped, listening to the radio broadcast.
"To all residents of Riaska, evacuate immediately. The border has been breached by Tisup. Residents of Riaska, evacuate immediately. Time remaining before they arrive: approximately 9 minutes. Once again, residents of Riaska, evacuate immediately."
Gosmes, at that moment, said casually, "Relax. We still have time."
Gis and Flo nodded.
An older man beside them joined the conversation. "Relax. That's just propaganda from Tisup. Remember, our radio is the same as Tisup's. That idiot's just spreading propaganda."
Gis, Flo, and Gosmes calmed down and resumed playing happily.
Suddenly, gunshots rang out. Panic erupted among the residents. At that moment, an explosion occurred near Gis and Flo. Meanwhile, Gosmes was swept away by the panicked crowd running frantically. Gis looked up — an artillery shell streaked through the air and struck a building, sending debris crashing down. Gis saw in the distance a vehicle — not an ordinary one. It was a Tisup O1 tank.
Gis panicked and pulled Florence to hide.
He kept dragging Florence away until they entered a bakery that was already in complete chaos. Gis felt nauseous seeing the corpses but continued hiding while covering Florence's eyes. However, a Tisup soldier entered. He moved deeper inside and eventually locked eyes with Gis. The soldier's response was unexpected — he lowered his weapon.
The soldier said, "You two... are you okay?"
Gis, angry, demanded, "You did all this. And now you ask if we're okay? Why are you the ones doing this? Why don't you just kill us? Go ahead, if you dare."
The soldier fell silent, then spoke calmly. "Kid, understand — we don't want this either. We're just following orders. And we're not monsters who ignore conscience and the future. Human nature is to protect the younger ones — remember that. So, my advice: go to Vius's last fortress. We know where it is — Woikosa, west from here. Be careful. Here, take this food. It'll help."
Gis fell silent, then resumed pulling Florence away.
The Tisup commander called out to the soldier, "Hey! Is it clear over there? No one around? Remember — if you see anyone, shoot immediately, no matter their age."
The soldier replied, "Clear. No one here."
After reaching the fortress, they were immediately let inside. Suddenly, someone hugged Gis — it was Gosmes.
Gosmes said, "Thank goodness you're safe. But our other friend... she didn't make it. She was crushed by debris. I saw it myself."
Florence immediately burst into tears, but Gis comforted her.
Flo sobbed, "Why does it have to be like this?"
Gis suddenly made a resolute decision. "What if we go to the Tisup Theocracy? To build something better?"
Gosmes said, "Let's do it."
Flo answered, "Alright."

9 years later — still young, they had already formed a protest group. But an incident occurred while they were demonstrating, demanding "Down with Baken." Suddenly, troops appeared and opened fire on them, causing panic. Gis and Gosmes immediately retreated. But Gis ran back.
Gosmes asked, "Gis, why are you going back?"
Gis replied panicked, "Florence is still on the front line!"
By then, Gis and Flo had grown quite close. Gosmes decided to follow Gis from behind.
Gis saw someone being wept over by a child. He couldn't tell who it was because a hood covered their hair and part of their face. But as he got closer, he realized it was Florence. Her body was riddled with bullets in the chest, and her legs — she was clearly dead.
Gis wept. "Why, Flo! Wake up! I'll take you to the hospital. You'll recover, I know it! Flo, please wake up!"
Gosmes approached from behind. At that moment, heavy rain began to fall, washing away the blood from the protest.
Gosmes said to Gis, "She's gone, Gis. Even if you took her to a hospital, instead of recovering, she'd just rot."
Gis fell silent, then laughed — a loud, hollow laugh.
The next day, Florence was given a proper burial.
Gis said to Gosmes, "Gosmes... I think we need to use dirty methods. A coup against Baken. He's gone too far."
---
5 years later — Gis met someone.
Gis said, "So you're the one they say is exceptionally talented, huh?"
Without a word, the person attacked Gis. But Gis swiftly dodged.
Gis remarked, "Not bad. I admit, at 17 years old, you really are talented." He then quickly took the person down.
Gis reached out his hand and pulled them to their feet. "What's your name? And would you like to become my friend's student? He's almost as skilled as I am in combat."
The person answered, "I will. My name is Vis Gaka."
---
7 years later — Gis and Gosmes carried out their coup in the Tisup Theocracy.
Baken XI said, "You will never become the true ruler of Tisup."
Gosmes casually shot Baken and said, "I can't become the ruler of Tisup. But I will become the ruler of Histep. Tisup is officially gone."
A few days later, a meeting was held.
Gosmes said, "I am Emperor. Gis is my deputy. Defense: Wuhas. Elite Forces: Yuri. Western Region Governor: Tyusue. Eastern Region: Cuksa. And so on. Thank you."
---
8 months later — Wuhas was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. With treatment, he was estimated to have only 1.5 to 2 years left.
Gis asked, "What's your choice, Wuhas? Continue as a hero, or retire with 30,000 Pins a month?"
Wuhas answered, "Our military hasn't advanced. If the Tidtimus people invade, we will fall. Therefore, I choose the first option — until Histep's military is worthy, or until God takes me."
---
7 years later — Yuri declared, "We will become the center of the world. Under Histep, everything will advance. We will become the world itself."
Gosmes replied, "Your proposal is rejected."
Yuri asked, "What? Why?"
Gosmes answered, "You're exaggerating too much. Enough. Return to your duties."
Yuri got angry and drew his pistol. But Vis Gaka, who was there, immediately snatched the pistol and aimed it back. Yuri snarled, "Damn it. I'm leaving this rotten nation."
2 years later — Vis Gaka killed Yuri.
---
1 year later — Gis said, "The remnants of Yuri's elites are getting crazier. The Yuisia bomb should be enough to kill them all."
Gosmes said, "Yes. The problem is, Tidtimus is becoming more aggressive."
Suddenly, the door crashed down, and two figures entered: Liber and Varkas.
Liber said, "Hello, scum of society."
Gosmes shouted, "Gis, run, now!"
Gis asked, "If we fight together, we'll be safe, right?"
Gosmes said, "No. You have to go. You'll only be a burden. Run. And read this letter later."
Gis was forced to start running.
Gosmes said, "Activate Yuisia!"
By the time Gis reached the bunker, he immediately sealed it shut — and BOOM! An explosion echoed. Gis lowered his head and read the letter:
"Gis, you must live. Florence would have wanted the same thing. You must educate the future generations to be better. Don't blame Liber. He has his own reasons. And I chose to stop him — for you."
