The world, born billions of years ago, has been shaped and transformed by humanity's relentless drive for evolution and innovation. Over the ages, countless myths and legends emerged, igniting belief so powerful it birthed a force akin to creation itself: faith energy. This energy, fueled by humanity's collective consciousness, began to reshape reality in subtle but profound ways.

Time stopped for everyone else, yet Ariase alone felt his soul shift, untethered.

Now, Ariase must navigate this rewritten reality, unravel its mysteries, and come to terms with his place in a world that is both his and not his at all.

Liu Yang's life used to revolve around a few simple truths: If the king crab wasn't fresh enough to pinch him back, it wasn't worth eating. Kobe beef? Only the finest cuts would grace his plate.

What is the usefulness of smiling and laughing when you will later cry? Jean was a very beautiful and cheerful young girl, but she lost her mother at the age of nine.
