Mysterious IOU

EncounterHexinear Karez1 chapter · 26 steps (8 on the main path)

From the journal

People outside Karez often find strange treasures. Upon touching them, they inexplicably faint, yet upon waking, nothing has happened, as if rescued by a mysterious person.

No matter the time or place, there are always those who shine, indelibly.

You hear tales in Karez Village about Xiaohu, a mysterious warrior who rescues the gravely wounded.

When it's done (spoiler)

Once there was a heroine in Karez named Yang Xiaohu. She knew no martial arts, yet dared to draw her blade. She was destitute, yet upheld her principles. Her promise was worth a thousand gold, and her words were deeds. She left an indelible mark of a heroine in Karez and changed some of its people.
