With Ayreon, the former ruler of Earth missing, his three children are left to fend for themselves. Soren, Ayreon's second child has become completely detached from his life as the years without his parents weighed on him. Now he spends his days going through the motions, complacent in his developed mediocrity, having accepted long ago that he would never find his father again. The most important role he fills now is as a guardian figure to his younger brother, Jesper.  After a scrap with his older sister, followed by his younger brother's expressed concern, Soren contemplates his future. After a night's rest, he ventures out of his small town and finds something that would change his life: a society brimming with powerful people who descended from the many strong warriors of the past, warriors believed to have been killed off long ago.  Now, Soren, who shows himself to be the strongest among this new group of people, has decided to figure out where he can fit into this new society and how to use it to find new meaning in his life.
