"You know, darling, when was younger, I dreamt of finding the City of Towers and to live in one of its majestic silver towers. Unfortunately, it seems I wasn't meant for it..."

"Don't be sad mother... I will go and search for it, and when I find it, I will bring you with me so that we can live there in peace!"

"Oh my, what a caring son you are~ I'm sure you will succeed, and I'm certain that the Lady of the Gate will light your path... James"

On the northern shore of the Redcia peninsula, a hooded youth wandering is boarding on a galeon in search of a legend and to fulfill an old promise.

Hello everyone, this is your author-san’s review. Naturally 5 stars because I am shameless, but if you are interested in the story or hate it let me know through the comments, I would appreciate it very much. I don’t have much experience in writing and this is just a remake of my first story, but I have experience as a GM for D&D, so expect many references to this franchise. Other sources of inspiration for this story are: SCP, Toaru no Index, Fate, Lovecraft, etc. There are also many references to real world history, let’s see if anyone can catch them! With this I greet you and wish everyone a good day.

The writer has talent in world-building. Reading it feels like we're living in the story. However the pacing in the story is slow and by chapter 4, I still couldn't figure out who is the main character. I think pacing might be the core that needs to be improved. Keep up the good work, Author!
