In a world ruled by ancient magic, swords, and noble bloodlines, Bones is a digger—one of the many faceless workers condemned to toil in the depths. Day after day, he mines in darkness, extracting materials to feed the noble house’s hunger for wealth and war. He’s told that his work sustains the empire, but all Bones sees is the bottomless pit of need from those above. But when the earth beneath him begins to shift, strange things emerge from the stone—relics of a forgotten age, unearthly tremors, and whispers from the shadows. As Bones digs deeper, he unravels a secret older than the empire itself. What he and his fellow laborers have been unearthing is far more than just ore—it’s a power long buried, one that could reshape the world. And the empire knows nothing of it. Caught between forces beyond his understanding, Bones must confront a choice: remain a tool in the hands of those who control him or wield the power he’s uncovered for himself. But as the line between right and wrong blurs, Bones begins to lose himself in the magic he’s unearthed. His desire to escape his fate transforms into an insatiable hunger for control, and the deeper he digs, the darker his soul becomes. In this epic tale, Bones will discover that true power lies not only in what is buried beneath the earth, but also in the choices one makes when no one is watching. The man who was born to dig may become either a hero who defies the empire—or a villain who ushers in its downfall. The question is: how far will he go before he loses himself?

This world is falling apart, with no one left to protect its people. Something big and unexpected has taken over, and despair spreads like a shadow. The so-called hero, the one who was meant to fight for them, is the very cause of this chaos. Was the hero ever truly a hero in the end? But maybe there’s still hope—someone who was never meant to save anyone might step forward. Someone forgotten by fate, someone no one expected. What if that person is the one destined to expose the hero’s true colors? They don’t have a prophecy or a grand destiny written for them. Yet, it’s not destiny that drives them—it’s the burning fire in their heart, the unshakable will to save a broken world. “hey! you aren’t a fighter or knight, get out of here..quickly!” a knight yelled to ‘them’ ‘They’ grabbed a sword on the ground, ‘they’ pointed it to the shadow in the fire. “What are you doing?!” the knight screamed in shock ‘They’ frowned, “what do you think I’m doing? saving this god damn ruined kingdom.” tears fell down on ‘their’ face. the burning fire in ‘their’ heart started to rise.

In the blink of an eye, the world as we knew it vanished. It first began with people turning into zombies, which spiralled down into chaos; people began fighting one another, they began exploiting themselves, brothers betrayed their siblings, wives killed their husbands, men butchered themselves, women offered theirs, and friends became enemies as gangs became warlords. Soon, cannibalism became the norm as the government went silent. But that wasn’t the beginning; it was merely the start to the end. The zombies grew and multiplied and covered everything like a plague; cities and towns crumbled as the rural areas got flooded. Everything began to change—some say for the good of nature and some—for the worse of mankind—but they... People were not the same, and our reality and society became scattered. Even with all the science and development, nothing could stop what was happening. Catastrophe after catastrophe, it all became hell....
