May The Gambit begin. Emon Moreau was murdered and reborn in a new reality where his wife and children did not exist. Reliving a similar life until he repeated history by fathering his children once more. But when his newfound life was disturbed by the second arrival of his murderer, Emon was killed once more, leaving behind his two sons, who both eventually grew and aspired to become powerful magic users. Caelum was his youngest son, who soon learned that he was born as the prophesied Perished One. Forced to be someone constrained by inevitable death, Caelum does whatever he can in his power to rewrite destiny, save his loved ones, kingdoms, and realms. To do that means to become a Great Rebel and defy the Gods, Churches, and Angels who have preordained his fate.
