In a dystopian world ravaged by World War III, Henrique's nation maintains a fragile neutrality, leaving its citizens helpless amid the chaos. For Henrique, the only escape from this madness lies in retreating to the wilderness, far from civilization. However, his sanctuary transforms into a nightmare when his land is suddenly overtaken by mutant rats, an alien jungle, and a medieval palace that seems to have sprung from fantasy. As his neighbors disappear without a trace and his world unravels, Henrique receives a tempting offer: power, survival, and the chance to rule in this twisted new reality. The catch? The path to the throne demands bloodshed. Only one person can emerge victorious, while the others must be sacrificed. Henrique must decide: Is the crown worth sacrificing his humanity—or even his life? After all, a crown and title alone don't guarantee true power.
