MAY THE ALL-MIGHTY PROTECT YOU FROM THE "GRACES" OF THE FAKE GODS

WHAT COULD HAVE COMPELLED YOU TO SET OUT ALONE ON SUCH A PERILOUS JOURNEY?

URGENT MATTERS

WHAT COULD BE AS URGENT AS TO BRING ONE TO CHEBAL - THE TURF OF VICIOUS TECHNO-MUTANT HITMEN?

I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS SOME- THING IN CHEBAL THAT IS EVEN WORSE THAN THE TECHNO- MUTANTS

IF YOU'RE SPEAKING OF STAP, THEN YOU ARE IN A BAD SPOT INDEED

STAP IS NOT JUST A HITMAN, BUT THE ONLY HUMAN AMONG THE TECHNO-MUTANTS, AND THE ONLY ONE THEY FEAR AND RESPECT !

LET ME TELL YOU THE LEGEND OF STAP, WANDERER ・・・・・

DESTINY CANNOT BE BOUGHT, BUT TO CHANGE IT SLIGHTLY IS SOMETHING MANY A DEEP POCKET CAN, AND HAVE DONE

CODE OF STAP

BACK WHEN THE NEYPR RIVER WASN'T YET TOXIC THERE WAS A VILLAGE IN THE OLD MINES NEAR ITS BANK. THEY WERE POOR PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN HUNGER AND IN FEAR OF BEING "CHOSEN" AS HUNTERS FOR THE FAKE GODS. ALL WERE AFRAID TO LEAVE THE VILLAGE.

. . . BUT ONE BOY DESPISED FEAR !
