When the sky cracked and light bled through the oceans, over twelve million people were transported from Earth to the mythical planet Elyssar. Each human was crowned supreme ruler of a unique native tribe — a race of beast-kin, spirit-born, or elemental-blooded — given a starter base, a tribal oath of loyalty, and a single warning:
“Rule wisely, or be devoured by your own.”
An all-seeing system connects them: world chat, trade, alliances, declarations of war. After a 30-day protection period, the Blood Moons descend, bringing waves of chaos beasts and planet-wide destabilization.
In this mad, beautiful world of shifting power, only one person is different.
Riku Yamada, an unremarkable high school graduate, awakens to a secret interface unknown to all others — the Thousandfold System.
With it, anything he masters — loyalty, tactics, culture, even memory or belief — can be Folded, multiplied exponentially. A single upgrade to a waterwheel could irrigate entire valleys. A single inspired speech could birth a religion.
But the system comes with no instruction. Its cost is unknown.
And while others burn their tribes for fast power, Riku builds something deeper — stranger — alive.
In a world where gods sleep beneath the soil and ancient tribes still whisper to the stars, one boy's quiet empire may become the seed of a new reality.
