Chapter 33: Bethaven

Kenshiro’s group arrives at Bethaven, marking a transition from survival in the wilds to navigating urban politics and society. As the city unfolds before him, Kenshiro is met with a whirlwind of sensations—noise, movement, and the unspoken expectations of the Confluence Corp.

While the outward welcome appears procedural, it's clear his presence is of interest to more than just his companions. The experience is both overwhelming and clarifying, giving Kenshiro his first real glimpse of how societies are organized in this world and hinting that his arrival has broader implications. The arrival at the Confluence Corp headquarters sets the stage for what promises to be a high-stakes political and personal journey.
