In this world, only two things matter: strength and a measured lifespan until old age. Both are earned—but try to obtain a seed of life or a bean that grows three—when you’re a little, powerless, rootless nobody that anyone is happy to kick.
But the Path doesn’t divide people into rich and poor, into orphans and those born with everything. Everyone has the right to step onto the road to the Summit and, by overcoming all the belts of the world, reach true power and immortality. Everyone is allowed—but not everyone is capable. And definitely not everyone wants to.
I want to! I have no choice. Only the Path of three-beans will help me climb out of the very bottom. Only by rising will I get a chance to save my sister and avenge the murder of my parents. I’m stubborn. I’ll manage! My life is a hunt.
