A Slowburn that Changed Your World
A little old man hobbles out of his house in a tizzy. His mailbox had just been knocked over by a child.

In ancient times, there was seldom a question about what was right and wrong. Through the application of natural law and reason, one could come to a close approximate to how each society would work within the civilized world.
