Since ancient times, there has been a lingering question: is humanity inherently evil, or is it society that corrupts it? In this story, we follow Morgan, a young man known for his kindness and good heart, who deeply loves animals. However, he dies suddenly from an illness. It is then that he encounters a god of death, ready to devour his soul and merge it with the universe. But another god intervenes to offer him help, aiming to prove a point on which the god of death disagrees. The two gods make a wager: whether the young man will retain his pure essence or be consumed by the cruel and merciless world in which he will reincarnate—a world where humanity is on the brink of extinction.

Twelve Thrones is a tale of twelve kingdoms, each with its own perspective, allowing you to follow one, multiple, or all as you decide who you want to see triumph in the end. But remember—this is a story of war, power, and ambition, and not all kingdoms will survive to the end. Twelve Thrones: AHK Perspective delves into the rise and transformation of Ahk, a land of wealth, ambition, and intrigue. From its grand castles and fortified cities to the leaders who shaped its destiny, Pallas's history is one of power struggles, alliances, and the pursuit of dominance. As the kingdom faces external threats and internal betrayals, its people must navigate a delicate balance between tradition and progress. The first 25 chapters will cover Ahk's history, uploaded weekly on Mondays at noon. Afterward, the main story begins with shorter chapters (1–2 per week) focusing on the present day.

I recommend reading the series in date order to fully grasp the unfolding history. If the story gains popularity, I might include a date order map on each perspective.
