The Last Cipher

In a world where Ciphers determine fate, every human is born with an engraved code that grants power, status, and purpose. Except for Kain Velis.

Born without a Cipher, Kain was branded an anomaly, an outcast with no future. But when a secretive organization forces him into a mission to unlock an ancient vault, he discovers something terrifying—a lost truth buried by time itself.

Inside the vault lies an entity—a force that predates the Cipher System, whispering in fractured echoes. It knows him. It has been waiting for him.

And it calls him the last of his kind.

Hunted by Cipher-wielding elites, betrayed by those he once trusted, Kain must uncover the real purpose of Ciphers and why he alone was born without one. Because the deeper he digs, the more he realizes—

The world was never meant to have Ciphers in the first place.
