This quiet, subtle drama shows the interactions between the various nuns and apprentices, and nearby townsfolk, in a nunnery in late 18th-century France.

It happened suddenly... without warning. It snuffed out all the light of the land, and it enveloped an entire town under the cover of night. Such a phenomenon could only be described as... darkness. The enormous, malicious magical energy emanating from within the darkness bears a strong resemblance to the shadow of one of the Demon Gods who attempted the Incineration of Humanity. What will become of this heretical land when the causes of this evil are eradicated? *This is the adaptation of the Epic of Remnant Chapter 4 from the mobile game, Fate/Grand Order.*

Tsuge Takayuki is a normal college boy, who, one day, sees a girl admiring the flowers in his front yard, and was reminded of a girl who stood by the flowers one year ago, crying in the rain. He falls in love with her, but will her injured heart accept his feelings?

Henry, born in a royal family without skills, is given territory on the border. It’s a grassland full of monsters,, with no people, no resources, and no hope. Disheartened, Henry wanders the grasslands and falls underground through a hole. However, the moment he touches a stone monument there, words echo in his mind. It is a mysterious dungeon filled with ancient items, traps, and malevolence. If you die inside, you lose your status and have to start over, but that doesn’t matter to Henry’s off-the-charts skill, “Maintain Status”. No matter how many times he dies, he can always grow and start over. Henry will die again today. All for the sake of developing his territory with dungeon clear rewards. Source: NU
