Benedetta

After the Abyss returned, our land becomes plagued and the entire southern part of the Land of Dawn turns into a barren place. Though the high Rantha Mountains blocks the corruption of the Abyss, Mother Nature in the southern realm continues to wither away. This once prosperous land is now nothing but a silent place filled with death, and people call it the “Despair Place”. The only passage that connects the Moniyan Empire is broken, separating the trapped refugees and the exiled wanderers from the rest of the world. They now live in fear and despair, haunted by monsters, yet still struggling to survive. For these people, the name of Benedetta brings hope and a sense of security. This courageous, persevering female ranger leads a team and fights in the land south to the Rantha Mountains, protecting the scattered settlement set up by the last survivors in the Despair Place. This is the fourth year ever since Benedetta and her team started their campaign in the Rantha region. Whenever she draws “Alecto”, the rampaging monsters will scatter in fear of this long sharpened sword infused with unstoppable power. People call her the Ranger Leader who walks in the shadow, Protector of the Despair Place. She has earned everyone’s admiration of respect in this desolate wasteland. However, the distant Moniyan Empire leaves a deep scar in Benedetta’s heart, and the wound may never heal. Alucard isn’t the only person whose life is changed by the war that happened years ago, Benedetta is also one of the victims. But Benedetta’s family is unlike that of Alucard. Her father wasn't an officer, he was just an ordinary soldier. Unfortunately, the second division was convicted of “rebellion” after they were defeated in a battle, and so no honor or glory was given to the soldiers who gave their lives for the country. As an officer's child, Alucard was sent to the Monastery of Light along with several other children and grew up with the blessing of Light. But Benedetta, who didn’t receive such privilege as she was the child of a low-rank soldier, had to struggle to make a living without her parents by her side. Ever since Benedetta was little, she had always wished that she could one day become a Warrior of Light, take back the glory that rightfully belonged to her father, and avenge her father's death by killing those monsters. To this end, she kept training and treating herself as a warrior, constantly sharpening her fighting skills, and inherited the long sword left by her father, preparing for the battles that were to come. However, the passionate Benedetta was rejected when she signed up for the trial of the Empire Army because the powerful men who ran the Knight's Order were furious because of the betrayal of Alucard and ordered that no descendants of a “rebel” could ever join the Empire Army, so that they would never seek the truth like Alucard did. Disappointed and enraged by the empire, Benedetta took up her long sword and left the Moniyan Empire, heading for
