In a single night, 95% of Arai’s population was wiped out, leaving the survivors to grapple with the horrifying truth: this was no prophesied calamity. Instead, it was a catastrophe triggered by human interference with the orbits of the planet's moons. But the biggest mystery remained—who was responsible? Two years after the event, Jaxon Altair, a determined scientist burdened by the weight of loss, uncovers the truth behind the so-called 'cataclysm.' The solution is both daring and perilous: to travel back in time, undo the damage, and prevent the tragedy from ever occurring.

"To ascend unto the pantheon, one must claim the visage of a deity who yet lingers upon this earth." As the doom of Avaricia's continent looms with the inexorable tread of a nocturnal specter, a youth of divine lineage, heretofore lamenting a life of sorrow, rises to the challenge of destiny's call. This lad, a demi-god among mortals, amasses an assembly of his ilk, each burdened with a spark of the celestial within their earthly frames. They embark upon a quest most perilous, a final stand against the encroaching shadows that threaten to engulf the four realms of existence. Guided by an audacious scheme, fraught with the very essence of impossibility, they aim to safeguard not only the present, but to ensure a continuance of days to come. Their intent, as daring as it is profane, is to usurp the thrones of those gods who have forsaken their dominion. Yet, such endeavors are not lightly undertaken. For to wrest the scepter from the grip of an immortal sovereignty is a feat that would daunt the stoutest of hearts. "If the Pantheon has turned a blind eye to the realms," the young hero declares with the fiery conviction of one who has glimpsed the abyss, "then perhaps 'tis time for a new order to assume their mantle." Away with the ancients, and hail the new! The nascent deities of Avaricia shall rise, a pantheon reborn in the crucible of fate. The very fabric of the cosmos trembles at their approach. These... 'New Gods of Avaricia'... shall they be heralded as saviors, or condemned as usurpers? Only the inscrutable dance of destiny shall reveal the truth beneath the veil of night.

From living a mundane life as an average student to being teleported to a world filled with mysteries lurking in the shadows—I’ve seen it all. Hi, my name is Arian. As I said, I’m an average student with a rather complicated past. My dream? To live a slothful, unproductive life—a dream that, sadly, seems impossible to achieve. But then, everything changed. I was transported to another world. A world straight out of the fantasies of light novel readers, geeks, and otakus. The kind of world they wish for, but one that should never have become real. I was given the chance to pursue my dream, to build a life of carefree laziness. But, as you probably know, even Sisyphus could never fulfill his purpose. And neither could I. Even so, I swore to give it my all. Or so I thought. [ You Died. ] *** Arian was your typical 17-year-old student with no friends, no family, and a simple dream: to live a lazy, unproductive life. But life had other plans—or rather, death did. Summoned to a void by a chibi angel, Arian was granted three wishes and thrown into a world straight out of a fantasy light novel. With classmates turned companions, overpowered abilities granted to some, and an enigmatic girl with no memories by his side, Arian's plans for a peaceful existence quickly unravel. But when an unseen killer begins eliminating them one by one, Arian discovers his cruel fate: he can return to the moment before his death, over and over again. Yet, no matter how hard he tries, he fails to save anyone. As death becomes a recurring nightmare, Arian begins to suspect there's more to this world, his mysterious powers, and the angel who brought him here. Haunted by failure, driven by survival, and armed with only his determination and Gungnir—his self-made weapon—Arian faces a seemingly endless cycle of despair. Can he break free from the grip of death and protect those he’s come to care for? Or will he lose himself in the madness of endless rebirth? Follow Arian on his journey through betrayal, survival, and a world where fate plays the cruelest hand.
