And yet another bump!
Great news, guys! The first chapter is out (though not in English yet). You can check it out
here! 
Also, there's an earlier spoiler summary of the first 20 pages:
Spoiler for ch. 1:
Okay, first things first: Our new protagonist's name is confirmed to be
Percival. As for that big guy from that color page? His
grandfather. It looks like the both of them have been living with just each other for some time. The gramps tells Percival that his 16th birthday is coming up, and shares with him tales of the world outside their homeland,
God's Finger. Interestingly, one of those lands outside of God's Finger is the floating island that's home to the Celestials.... aka the
Goddess clan. And below their home lies the land of Britannia, which is bristling with mystery and adventure! Some of said mysteries include (credit goes to MH's FKS for the translation):
Quote:
A twirled tower inhabitated by a mage who closed their heart...
A knight steering a phantom sea boat that flies in the sky...
A giant cave with countless windcaves that go to Hell...
An evil lady of the lake that entices and imprisons heroes...
A knotty forest from where you can never get out once you get lost there...

^However, Percival doesn't really seem to care about that stuff. He's just happy hanging out with grandpa....

Hmm... Percival, eh? Does this mean the Holy Grail will feature at some point....?
Can't wait for the full translation!
Edit: Okay, some more details:
Spoiler for ch. 1:
The second half of the chapter involves the arrival of the mysterious enemy knight teased in the early preview sketches. He approaches Percival's grandfather, and immediately attacks him!!! Apparently, it's because gramps was branded a traitor to his old master. Percival arrives and tries to stop the carnage, but it's no good..... the mystery knight is too powerful. After wrecking the both of them, the knight mentions something else interesting: An omen that foretells of the four people who will topple his lord, King Arthur. These four are none other than the titular Four Knights of the Apocalypse!!!! We don't know exactly who they are, though.....
After the knight leaves, the dying grandfather reveals the man's identity to his grandson: His name is Ironside, and he's none other than PERCIVAL'S FATHER!!!!! As he takes his last breath, the grandfather calls Percival his "hope"..... before departing the world of the living. Later, after burying him, Percival dons his grandfather's belongings, and sets off on quest to find his father.....!!!
