Zephyr understood the universe. The laws of motion, energy, space-time. Then he woke up in another world, where none of those seemed to be the defining force. There was something else here; Magic. It shaped reality, allowing people to bend laws to their will. But wasn’t just about strength, it was about recognition. The world itself had to accept the existence of your magic.

Their magic, no matter how brilliant, faded into nothing. But once, in all of history, there was an exception. One person whose magic was so absolute, so undeniable, that the world itself cried in recognition. That moment became legend. That moment became World Cry. Zephyr doesn’t know the rules of this world yet. But if the world decides who rises and who is forgotten… then it’s just another system waiting to be understood... and rewritten.

With each new Tier, a personal army emerges, drawn from one's race. The higher the rarity and strength of the army, the greater one’s status in this chaotic new world. Society is reborn. From Towns (1,000 players) to Planet-Level (up to 100 billion players), the world restructures itself into new civilizations, ruled by the strongest. Amidst the chaos, our protagonist awakens—reborn as something beyond comprehension… What will he become? A ruler, a god, or something even higher?

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.
