Immersed in Ashfall: The Final Days, a gritty VR survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by supernatural plagues and mutant horrors, Kael finds solace in designing fortified settlements and leading strategic battles.

What he doesn’t know is that the game might hold secrets tied to reality itself.

Along his journey, he will battle enemies that challenge not only his strength but his very soul, while forging powerful bonds and unlocking abilities beyond imagination. As Arden’s trials intensify, the line between ally and enemy blurs. With each victory, the cost of his power grows, threatening his humanity and plunging him deeper into a world of divine secrets, forgotten gods, and dark conspiracies. Will he become the Sovereign of the Elements, or will the shadows of his past consume him before he can truly rise?

Dicen que el tiempo lo cura todo, pero es mentira. Hay heridas que el tiempo no toca, cicatrices que arden incluso después de décadas. Yo lo sé mejor que nadie, porque llevo una de esas heridas en el alma, tan profunda que ningún día, por más largo o brillante, lográ anestesiarla. Esta no es la historia de un hombre bueno, ni de un héroe que venció a sus demonios. Tampoco es el relato de un monstruo, aunque eso es lo que dirán los titulares cuando mi nombre finalmente se apague. Es simplemente la historia de alguien que amó demasiado y perdió todo. La historia de un hermano que hizo lo único que supo hacer: destruir aquello que destruyó lo único puro y verdadero que tenía. No busco redención. Tampoco simpatía. Lo que quiero es que estas palabras, estas memorias escritas en el rincón más oscuro de esta celda, sean testigos de lo que la justicia ignoró y de lo que el amor me obligó a hacer

Born as a prince, many people would think that Kieran Wynter had the perfect life, but it was actually the opposite. Tariona, a world where Magic reigned supreme, and could be used in the form of the eight Elements, Kieran was born without a mana core; a core used to store the Energy required to use Magic, and that meant that he couldn't use Magic. Because of this, his father, the King, changed his attitude towards him, and his mother. His mother was blamed for giving birth to a failure, and an insignificant being. While growing up, he was mentally and physically abused by his father, and even the children of other nobles. Though, all his pains would disappear anytime he was with Lyra, his mother, the Queen, the only person who cherished him, and never left his side. Well, all that changed when he was summoned by the King to the throne room. Apparently, the King was deprived of something because of Kieran's existence, and he had to get rid of him. That was why......he sentenced Kieran to death. While trying to save her son from this fate, Lyra challenged the King, and....... He killed her......

After realizing this, Kieran, who was now Arden, had only one goal in mind........ Revenge!! The nobles, the children of the nobles who mocked him and his mother, and the King......... He would exert his revenge on each and every one of them. But, that seemed impossible, because, the mana core that this body had was broken, and that meant that he couldn't use Magic. But all hope wasn't lost, because....... [The Revenge System has found you] [Assimilating.........] [The Revenge System has completely assimilated with the Host ] [Welcome, Host] With this mysterious Revenge System, he would be able to get the strength he needed, and exert his revenge.
