The Everfrost Region, Aisengar, is so desolate that it lacks even proper trade routes. Some might call selling goods in such a remote area an act of madness.@@novelbin@@

Most merchants operate primarily in the bustling southern regions near the sea, where trade flourishes.

That is undoubtedly the "right" answer. The most prominent trading companies on the continent have their main bases in the south.

And yet, that makes it the wrong answer.

The southern market is already oversaturated—cheap goods, ruthless competition, and greedy major trading companies dominate the scene.

Could a fledgling trading company or a new merchant survive there?

The obvious answer is "No."

The southern trade market is a battlefield for major companies. The weak stand no chance. It’s a red ocean.

But here, a merchant known as Bipen, with his perpetually squinting eyes, is different. He found a way to survive amidst fierce competition.

"The greatest treasures are hidden in the most dangerous places."

A land where extreme cold makes farming difficult, and supplies are easily disrupted. A place where people desperately need everything from basic necessities to luxuries.

Bipen thought of the northern regions.

His reason for choosing the north was simple. He was captivated by the high profits that could be earned through risky deals.

He bought fruits, salt, various fabrics, and necessities from the south at low prices and traveled throughout Aisengar, selling them at several times the cost.

Conversely, he purchased the byproducts of magical beasts unique to the north at dirt-cheap prices. Northern folk, unaccustomed to trading and with no other avenues to sell, had no choice but to sell cheaply.

“It’s been a while! I’ve brought the items you all need.”

Thus, Bipen roamed the north and eventually arrived at Lake Fortress.

Lake Fortress, though harsher than other regions in Aisengar, was home to capable warriors. The byproducts they produced were consistently rare and of high quality.

In short, it was a place with highly marketable goods.
