After Earth was plunged into an unprecedented cataclysm known as **"The Opening,"** demons clawed their way up from hell and seized the world. Humanity reeled in despair. Half were slaughtered or enslaved within infernal chains. Every weapon, every strategy, every desperate hope thrown against the invaders **failed** – for reasons no one could fathom. Nothing worked.
Then, like a sudden dawn in endless night, came **the Righteous**. This mysterious group emerged, offering salvation to a broken world. They taught humanity **forgotten secrets**, the only knowledge capable of fighting back the darkness.
**Aleks Lake** was among the unlucky ones caught in the first wave of The Opening. He lost everything – especially his parents. And when the "marked ones" awakened, gifted with the power to resist, Aleks was left behind. **Unawakened.** Yet, all his life, he burned with a single desire: to stand among the first line of defense, those special individuals who could face the demons.
Known only as "the one who wasn't awakened," Aleks had no idea his own family had concealed a shattering truth. A truth that would rewrite his destiny.
He found it hidden away: an **ancient, unknown scroll**. Its discovery promised to make him something he *never* thought possible.
And it did. The moment he touched it, the scroll ignited with power, etching something alien into his very being.

Before Aleks could grasp what was happening, the **encrypted system** flooded his senses. It was his key, his ultimate cheat code for the academy and his meteoric rise through the ranks.
But the system held a hidden price. A demand far darker than Aleks could have ever prepared for.
