Spice and Wolf(Au)

The world is no longer peaceful. Across shattered kingdoms and broken trade routes, fear spreads like wildfire. Merchant caravans disappear without a trace. Entire villages are reduced to ash overnight. And carved into the ruins remains the same symbol… the mark of the Order of Ash. An organization born from fanatic conviction, devoted to erasing all divine beings and tearing down the merchant society that holds the world together. Their goal is not conquest—it is purification through destruction. In the middle of this collapsing world walks Holo, the Wise Wolf of Yoitsu. A young woman with long auburn hair, wolf ears that twitch at every distant sound, and a fluffy tail that betrays her every mood. Her amber eyes are playful… but ancient. Smug words and teasing smiles hide something far more terrifying—an old god who has not forgotten how to hunt. Beside her is Kraft Lawrence, a traveling merchant with sharp instincts and an even sharper mind. Brown-haired, calm under pressure, and far more stubborn than he appears, he is no longer just a trader passing through towns. In a world where coin and steel decide survival, he has learned to stand his ground even when the road turns into a battlefield. Together, they travel through collapsing trade routes, war-torn towns, and forests where silence feels like a warning. Hunted by mercenaries, zealots, and the Order of Ash itself, every journey becomes a gamble between survival and annihilation. *Be anything you like ;)*
