In 586 AD, a "catastrophe" swept the world. Earthquakes occurred across the world, and huge city ruins appeared overnight.
Then, dragons, angels, goblins and other alien creatures suddenly appeared. These alien creatures were not guests from another world, but disasters that suddenly appeared.
Under the destruction of countless alien creatures, humans have lost most of their land.
In order to survive, humans in Europe united and established the great country of Midgard. Scholars founded the Pythagoras Academy to study the causes of the catastrophe and analyze how to keep humans alive.
But as time went by, the original dream was eroded by desire, corruption grew, and tyranny became rampant.
Midgard was originally established to allow human civilization to continue, but with the change of power, tyrannical rule began to appear.
Ordinary people live in dire straits and will never have peace.
In this context, the aristocracy still lives very well because they have people at the bottom to exploit and oppress.
This kind of oppression can last a lifetime, because here, birth represents the future.
She once hid on a street corner and saw that on that clean and tidy street, parents were holding hands with their children.
After confirming the girl's submission, the woman walked towards the big room again.
The closer she got to the big house, the more the girl's body trembled, but at this moment, the woman only saw the door and the money she could get immediately.
Her birth did not bring any benefit to the woman who became a mother, but made the woman's already poor life even more difficult.
Besides, this era doesn't allow her to have feelings for a burdensome person, and she won't be able to survive.
Regardless of your age, this place will not refuse you as long as you can see it, but the price will be very low.
The woman was about to get around the man in front of her, but the man suddenly took out a bag of gold, shook it in front of her, and then pointed at the girl she was holding.
The woman roughly grabbed the girl's hand and walked toward the door. Facing the woman's rough grasp, a trace of pain flashed across the girl's face, but she did not cry out.
It seems to be a place called the Women's Branch Hospital in the adult's name.
The woman looked at the girl who still didn't know what had happened, and walked over muttering.
The woman who was suddenly stopped was about to get angry, but when she saw the exquisite clothes of the person in front of her that did not look like the poor, she immediately swallowed back the curse she was about to blurt out.
"Originally we had to wait a while longer, but... there is no more food."
After about ten minutes, the streets gradually became cleaner, but it was only relatively clean, at least much cleaner than the slums.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
If nothing else happens, the girl may be sold by her mother as a plaything to aristocratic and wealthy businessmen in exchange for money when her beauty is revealed.
But what does this have to do with women? There is only one idea in her mind now, which is to use this burden to exchange for some money to buy food.
But unfortunately, an accident occurred, and in 985 AD, the Great Famine broke out.
But the next moment, a figure suddenly stopped her.
A sudden famine swept across the kingdom, but only the common people, or the poor, were affected. The princes and nobles were still living a prosperous life.
If you have a good pregnancy and are born into the aristocratic class, you will be greeted by beautiful days like heaven; but if you are born into a humble commoner, then you will be greeted by a lifetime of labor and exploitation.
Those friends who had played with her had never appeared again since they were sold there. The big house, which was more gorgeous than the surrounding houses, seemed to the little girl that it was just food.
A human cave.
If famine had not occurred, she could have sold this burden to those noble and wealthy businessmen, but now, because she is too young, she can only sell it to the women's branch.
Seeing this, the girl didn't hesitate to ask again.
The girl with light red eyes was born in such a country.
The girl looked at her mother walking towards her and shrank back in fear. In the past, when her mother walked towards her, it meant she was going to be beaten.
Although she was illiterate, she knew the place because many of her friends from the slums who used to play with her were sold there.
She didn't dare to scream because her mother hated her and would be beaten if she didn't go her way at all.
And her luck doesn't seem to be very good, because she was born at the bottom of the country, and she was unlucky even when she was born.
"What's wrong? Mother?"
"Mother, where are we going?"
Although she has never seen her father since she was a child, and her mother often punches and kicks her, the girl still occasionally fantasizes about this scene in her unpolluted mind.
The woman didn't answer the girl, didn't even look at her, she just walked unswervingly.
Of course, due to various reasons, the girl's mother also did not love her, but often abused her. In this childhood without any warmth, the girl gradually grew up.
Because of the famine, within a few steps you could see skinny figures lying on the ground. They might be too hungry to move, or they might have died of starvation.
If this burden grows bigger, you may be able to sell it for more money, but if you don't sell it now, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until this burden grows.
Even if the common people work hard throughout their lives, there will never be any chance of turning over. The common people will always be common people and will always be domestic animals in the eyes of the upper-class nobles, who can be disposed of and played with at will.
This is the norm of this era, and it is also the tragedy of this era.
Feeling the girl's resistance, the woman pulled hard and the girl staggered instantly. Feeling the power of her mother's hand, the girl shook her body and stopped resisting.
The people who live here are more or less discerning, because a fool without any discernment would have been dead long ago.
After a while, the woman's destination appeared in front of her, and the face of the girl being pulled gradually turned pale.
At this time when famine came, the girl's mother's eyes changed when she looked at the girl.
Girls did not come into this world with blessings and flowers, but were born under the curses and curses of a woman called mother.
The young girl didn't know what would happen next, but she felt inexplicably happy because this was the first time her mother took her out and held her hand.
Outside the house is a dirty street, which is a slum that exists in every country, and the people who live here are naturally the poor who use all means to survive.
The woman looked coldly at the girl who was called a child but was actually a burden. There was no warmth in her eyes. She was the product of an accidental birth and it was impossible for her to have feelings for her.
But this time, her mother rarely hit her.
Even though there was no communication between the man and her, the woman's almost numb mind immediately understood the man's thoughts.
She immediately reached out to take the money bag, then without any hesitation left the girl, turned around and left.
Seeing her mother abandoning her, the girl wanted to follow her, but the woman glared fiercely, said something casually, and strode away.
The abandoned girl looked helplessly at the leaving woman, her body suddenly slumped on the ground in despair, and the next second, sobbing sounded.
