My name is Azrael Veyrin. Once, I was just a man—an ordinary life, a loving family, and a peaceful end at 87. Or so I thought. I awoke in Akshak, an empty, lifeless world. Alone at first, I later witnessed the arrival of eleven beings—gods who shaped the land, each crafting a realm in their own image. Yet, I remained unseen, an anomaly even among deities.
