The Melancholic Knight

In 2134, a war-weary world overshadowed Aiko Ashin. Caught in the throes of unrelenting and brazen guerilla attacks, he found himself entangled in a relentless battle against an enigmatic organization known as The Excesses that is hell-bent on the annihilation of The Republic of Melancholia Headquarters of URDT. But for Aiko, this war was not just waged in the treacherous alleys and clandestine chambers; it raged within the confines of his own heart and soul. Aiko had been entrusted with a daunting mission: to thwart the impending threat that loomed ominously over the Republic. Aiko was not just a soldier; he was the Melancholic Knight, a role that demanded he be encased in an unforgiving suit of cold, unyielding metal. Aiko's mental strain was further compounded by responsibility for his young muted foster brother, Albie. Aiko could not escape the nagging sense that he carried the hopes and dreams of both a nation and a beloved sibling on his shoulders. As he navigated the corridors of his own doubt, battled his innermost fears, and bore the burden of his constant isolation, Aiko questioned the worth of his resolute pursuit. Was it worth fighting each day when the world seemed to descend further into the abyss, pushing him ever closer to the precipice of despair?
