In an infinite universe where eight regimes govern different aspects of existence, a central mechanism known as the "Nocturnal Clock" regulates the flow of time and destiny across 24 kingdoms. When the Clock begins to falter, the protagonist, a renowned social engineer with a calculating mind and a cold demeanor, is tasked with uncovering the cause of the growing chaos. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of the Clock, his investigation leads him to a hidden cult bent on unlocking the "Crypt of Aeons," a mythical place beyond human comprehension. The Crypt is said to hold the ultimate truth: existence is merely an illusion crafted by a cosmic mind, and the regimes, kingdoms, and even time itself are mere pieces in a grander design. The protagonist must navigate a labyrinth of betrayal, conspiracies, and self-discovery. Every answer he uncovers about the Crypt and the Clock draws him closer to a harrowing revelation: his own existence may be nothing more than a "cog" in a greater machine, created to serve an unseen purpose. But will he be able to bear the cost of uncovering the truth? Set against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and kingdoms where steampunk technology merges with magic, the story explores the boundaries of humanity, the psyche, and cosmic truths. Each step forward brings him closer to a point of no return, where evil can no longer be distinguished from good, and darkness becomes the only light.

Focus. Don’t think—just move, Subra told himself, adrenaline sharpening his senses. The twin moons above cast an eerie silver glow on the ever-changing maze of labyrinthine walls. This was no dream—it was a test, a trial unlike any other. One night, while asleep on Earth, Subra Fitz’s consciousness was ripped away and thrust into an alien world. He wasn’t alone.

But the Trials aren’t just about combat—they’re about strategy, sacrifice, and morality. Can Subra outthink the cunning figures who lead this competition? Can he trust anyone when alliances are tenuous, and betrayal is a matter of survival? In this action-packed, magic-infused adventure, Subra fights to become more than a survivor. He fights to claim the divine throne of a godless world. The Trials will test his mind, body, and soul—forcing him to decide how far he’s willing to go to wield ultimate power.
