On the planet Aya, death has been conquered.
Thanks to the "Regeneration" project, millions of people are returning to life-young, healthy, and with perfect memories. They have been granted a second chance. But what price must be paid for this miracle?Richard, the Head of the Welcoming Department, has spent five years diligently building a career in Ikedor, trying to bury his true essence-that of a Great Hunter, born to the wild freedom of the North-under the mask of a strict supervisor. He had almost come to believe in his new role, but a single chance encounter with the mysterious Anton shatters everything. A simple request to be shown the way to the Northern Sea awakens the howling dog of homesickness in his soul.
Risking everything he has achieved, Richard embarks on a perilous journey north. But the further he gets from civilization, the more he realizes: this is no mere vacation, but a true test. And his cheerful, seemingly clumsy companion is not at all who he claims to be. Who is this Anton, who tames wild beasts with ease and seems to hold luck itself in his hands? What trial awaits the Hunter at the end of the road, where he must confront not only the predators of the tundra, but the consequences of his own choices?
