Xavier wasn't expecting much from today—maybe a boring meeting, definitely some subpar coffee. What he didn’t expect was a silver lance aimed at his neck, a teenage girl with the attitude of a war-hardened NPC, or getting dragged across several floors like a human mop. When an encounter with a very aggressive seventeen-year-old turns into a rooftop revelation, Xavier learns the impossible: he’s an Executioner, born with a power called a Gate—and monsters are out to kill people like him. No, he doesn’t remember signing up for this. Yes, it’s apparently non-refundable. Add in a teleporting hallway, a superpowered girl who clearly skipped the empathy tutorial, and a muscle-bound giant that could double as a building—and Xavier’s world is flipped upside-down faster than you can say, “I’m hallucinating now.” It’s his first day as an Executioner. He’s already regretting everything.

At an elite high school where wealth and status rule, Akira, an ordinary student, tries to blend into a world he doesn't truly belong to. One quiet afternoon, he stumbles upon a forgotten, dust-covered library hidden in the far corners of the campus. There, he unexpectedly meets Kana - the most admired and mysterious girl in school. Curiosity draws them together, and within the silence of the ancient shelves, they discover a torn, magical book. Only one page remains, telling the tale of a forbidden love between a prince and a princess from two warring kingdoms, forced to meet in secret under threat of war. Just beneath that single page lies a message written in fading ink: "Finish the story. Find the missing pages." As Akira and Kana begin their journey to uncover the book's secrets, reality begins to blur with fantasy - and what started as a school mystery becomes a doorway to something far greater... and far more dangerous. Are they merely readers of a forgotten tale? Or are they destined to write its ending - with their own hearts?

Humanity is caught in a great upheaval after the Intergalactic Union of All Species coincidentally discovers their existence on what they had formerly considered to be the fringe of the universe. Without any say in the matter, they get indicted into the Union as a legal member. Unfortunately, this meant that they were now obligated to partake in the exploration of a new Chaotic Realm parallel to their universe containing rich energies, resources, and essence that the universe itself craved. To that end, the universe has created its own will, which seeks to gather all races and strengthen warriors from them to explore the dangerous but lucrative Chaotic Realm, initiating the Augmented Reality simulation, Essence. In Essence, one can experience a carefully crafted universe similar to an RPG game, either by going in through your soul or going in through VR. The former means that death is true, and the latter is similar to a normal FIVR experience. Those who go in with their souls can freely receive feedback from their 'game characters' to obtain all stats, skills, and items they acquire in Essence, while those who go in with VR do not obtain that benefit. However, those who pay for it in Essence can receive an awakening of genetic talent called abilities. These abilities are graded from F to EX, a total of 10 stages. Not much is expected from the human race when the first 100 participants get chosen at random from the public - a standard protocol - only for each one of them to awaken at least an A-grade ability. Then, there was Damon Arnan, a young Ghanaian politician, who ended up awakening, not one, not two, but three EX-Grade Talents. The human race, which had just entered the galactic playground, was about to experience a storm with Damon smackdab in the middle.

But Senko’s dream burns bright: to become the strongest warrior, to earn the respect he’s been denied, and maybe one day, to claim the throne his father died protecting. Trained at the prestigious Ironcrest Academy, Senko must navigate deadly trials, fierce rivals, and the dark whispers that follow him — all while wrestling with the violent power lurking behind his gaze. As old enemies resurface and secret factions scheme in the shadows, Senko’s fight is no longer just for acceptance — it’s for the fate of the Land of Joy itself. In a world where trust is scarce and demons can wear a man’s face, can Senko rise above his curse and become the hero his people desperately need? Or will the purple flame in his eyes consume him first?
