In a world ruled by divines, one must worship to live. Yet the gods have long forsaken us. What does it mean to revere beings who have abandoned their creation?
This question echoes in our minds as we navigate the desolate expanse before us.
Legends speak of prophecy foretelling the birth of a new deity, a beacon of hope amidst millennia of desolation since the aftermath of the Second Great War. Despite the passage of time, the grip of the tyrant god still tightens around the vast lands, forcing those to live by His rules. The Leviathan prowls the depths of the unforgiving ocean, and the heavens remain an unreachable domain.
As mortals, sometimes we find ourselves adrift in a world devoid of divine guidance. We question the essence of a god's existence in our lives. But without an answer, we are left to ponder till the end.
The night sky is full of stars. They say the boundary between the world and the unknown has grown thin. A little far from sight, a star has fallen from the sky with a young soul that soon will awaken to this world.
In the dawn of an age, Lucias emerges from the depths of an ancient well. His memories of past life are fuzzy as a wall of secrecy forbids him from diving into them.
Lucias was born with an otherworldly presence, a stranger in this land. His eyes are red as crimson, his hair dark as the night itself. His fate is unforeseen, leaving the gods in this world intrigued.
The world he lived in is not the familiar earth he once knew. It is a realm where supernatural beings wield power. In this world, power is coveted by many. One could wield power from divines, the other could wield power through contract, and some could wield power for being born.
