There is no fairness in this world, a harsh truth Kyoji Renn learned the hard way. Abandoned by his parents at a young age and then seemingly by the gods themselves at sixteen during his Blessing Ritual—a rite of passage all youths undertake to awaken their powers—Kyoji came to accept this bitter reality. Vowing not to let this define him, Kyoji dedicated himself to finding power on his own terms. He wouldn't wait for the gods to bestow their gifts; he would seize power himself. Anything he wanted, he would achieve through his own efforts. Thus began Kyoji's quest for power. He immersed himself in research, tirelessly seeking a way to gain strength. Ten years later, just as he believed he was on the verge of a breakthrough, disaster struck. An accident in his research facility resulted in his death. But death wasn't the end. He found himself inexplicably transported back in time to the moment of his failed Blessing Ritual, a sixteen-year-old once more, standing within the Temple of the Gods. This time, however, he succeeded, awakening a new talent: the power of time manipulation. As if that weren't enough, Kyoji realized that the knowledge from his past life's research had returned with him. He had developed a unique energy, which allows him to embody both Faith and Chaos energy. With this newfound power and knowledge, Kyoji set out on a journey, soon realizing its complexities were far beyond what he had initially envisioned.
