Everyone pointed fingers at Louis, accusing him of being an unemployed bum, but he never cared. Why? Because he had everything planned out. He was waiting for the right time, or rather, the perfect opportunity to change his life on the spot. And finally, one day that opportunity came. Cor, which was mistaken for a kitchen tool, was the seed of the World Tree that bore Lifeforce. Upon Cor’s awakening, the fortress his grandfather passed down to him began to move, which he once just thought of as a giant piece of scrap metal. Louis instinctively knew that Cor was his golden-egg-laying goose. As soon as he found out, he left the village on the plains where he had lived all his life. He did it in part to protect Cor from those with bad intentions... but mostly, it was because he thought that if he traveled the world, he could attain wealth beyond his wildest imagination.
