Arsh: The King, of a fallen world After a century of uneasy peace, the ancient balance between the human realm and the Netherworld begins to collapse. At the heart of this collapse lies a forbidden truth: the world is a shared realm between two ancient rulers—one human, one demonic—both born from the same cosmic essence. These two lords, one rising in the form of Arsh, a tactician king enhanced by AI and human resilience, and the other awakening through Rose, his half-demon sister and the chosen vessel of the Demon Lord, are fated to determine the future of both worlds. With humanity caught in fear and politics, and the demon world uniting under chaotic sin-commanders like Greed and Gluttony, the final war is not just about survival—but about deciding which reality deserves to exist.

Verdamona—a young woman from a broken Earth—finds herself face-to-face with a god. The world she once knew has been reduced to cosmic ashes, destroyed by a chain of six cataclysmic disasters that humanity itself may have set in motion. Bitter, grieving, and demanding answers, Verdamona learns a devastating truth: Earth was not abandoned, but judged. And the gods, bound by ancient laws, let it fall. The god she speaks to has decided to offer humanity one final chance at redemption. Not because they deserve it but because 'she' does. For her spirit, her defiance, and her unwavering will, he offers an impossible task: be reborn at the moment of her birth, with her memories intact, and attempt to alter the fate of the world from within. As her soul begins its descent back into time, Verdamona carries the weight of humanity’s second chance on her shoulders, and the knowledge that if she fails, no god will intervene again.
