Prologue

The world of Arminos was shattered a century ago, when the seven continents were torn from their roots and fused into one landmass. Monsters emerged from the depths, abnormals walked among mortals, and civilizations crumbled under the weight of chaos. Yet even in this fractured world, kingdoms rose from the ruins, carving out domains amidst the horrors. Among them stood the Kingdom of Vestia, an integral part of the Western Faction—where power, secrets, and ambition dictated fate.

Jonan Westrian was born into one of Vestia's most esteemed noble houses, yet his life was anything but privileged. From the moment he could remember, the walls around him seemed less like a home and more like a cage. House Westrian carried a legacy that once shook the world, a bloodline of strength and mystery. But legacies are fragile things, and history has a way of burying those who fail to uphold it.

The whispers of the past still lingered. Tales of power lost and forgotten. And somewhere, buried beneath the weight of expectation and suffering, something stirred within Jonan—something the world was not ready for.

As the kingdom teetered on the edge of change, as shadows conspired and the strong devoured the weak, one truth became clear:

Nothing stays abandoned forever.

And when the forgotten rise, the world will tremble.
