The Divine Protector: Master Salt Begins

In a world where ancient alchemy still hums beneath modern life, a quiet chef named Salt discovers an uncanny gift: he can coax protection from the elements, guiding people away from danger without them realizing why. When a string of mysterious disasters tests a city’s fragile peace, Salt teams up with a determined journalist and a wary archivist to uncover a hidden network of guardianship. Together, they navigate secrets, sacrifice, and the cost of keeping others safe, learning that true protection may come at the price of personal sacrifice.
