Gales, a Winswald clan elf whose homeland fell to Physis’ devastation, dedicates every breath to annihilating the cult and shielding others from their cruelty. Though reserved, their loyalty shines through decisive acts—like probing dangers within Granseed Academy’s ancient library. When the investigation claims their schoolmate Claire, crushing guilt ignites an unyielding oath to avenge her.

Unearthing Physis’ monstrous infestation in the library, Gales learns from Sophitia—the cult’s hidden mastermind—that ally Nemo is a homunculus forged to unleash apocalyptic ruin. This truth fractures Gales’ convictions, steering them toward merciless pragmatism. As chaos erupts from the library’s sealed horrors, they desperately bargain with Sophitia for the strength to destroy Nemo, deemed the crisis’s root.

Sophitia’s corruption twists Gales into betraying their allies, nearly killing Nemo before Sophitia herself strikes them down. Yet innate affinity for darkness cheats death, paving a path to redemption: Gales aids the group in toppling Sophitia and shielding Granseed Academy. After the battle, wounds mend and bonds rebuild, solidifying Gales’ resolve to stand alongside comrades in safeguarding the vulnerable. Their journey weaves through steadfast loyalty, fractured morals, a spiral into vengeance, and a clawed-back return to light through sacrifice and renewal.
