In the aftermath of the Angel's devastation, humanity began to rebuild, taking refuge in underground shelters and abandoned towns.

The rest of the world may have accepted defeat, but he had not. Swearing vengeance, he vowed to end the Monarchs' reign, even if it cost him his life. * * * PS- I am not the owner of the cover art used, if you are the original owner and want it taken down.

Shubbhulakshmi is a character radiating timeless elegance and quiet resilience, beautifully capturing the essence of a young woman in 1920s South India. Growing up in the quaint, fictional village of Pollamipallai, near Madurai, she has lived with her elderly grandparents since she was orphaned at a young age. Now 17, she is known for her grace, soft-spoken nature, and the dreamy look in her eyes—always appearing lost in thoughts that often take her beyond her village's dusty paths to the far-off land where her childhood love, Madhvan Nair, currently resides. Shubbhulakshmi is no ordinary village girl. In a time when expressions of love were bound by society's norms, she dared to keep her feelings alive, albeit in secret. Every night, after her family is fast asleep, she lights a small oil lamp, sits by her wooden window, and pours her heart into a journal she addresses as *Madhvan*. Her journal entries are like letters never sent, chronicling every detail of her day, from her daily chores to quiet musings on the beauty of nature around her, and, of course, her most intimate dreams of Madhvan’s return. Writing to him has become her solace and ritual, as if her words are carried across the miles to London. As her 18th birthday approaches, whispers spread through Pollamipallai: Madhvan Nair is coming back. The entire village buzzes with excitement, but none more than Shubbhulakshmi. Yet, she’s also haunted by a subtle fear—has the Madhvan she knew and loved changed? London is a far cry from their small, conservative village, and the education and worldliness he must have absorbed could have altered him in ways she might not recognize. Will he remember the shy girl he once played with under the village banyan tree? And more importantly, will he still feel the same for her? Shubbhulakshmi’s life is about to shift dramatically with his return. Caught between the innocent love letters in her journal and the reality of the man Madhvan has become, her journey is one of quiet courage, unspoken devotion, and the hope that, perhaps, love can transcend both time and transformation.

Two centuries ago, the ancient Greek gods stirred from their slumber, unleashing chaos upon the world and igniting a monumental transformation as the land was drenched in mana. This surge of power turned ordinary animals into ferocious mana beasts, laying waste to civilization and leaving ruins in their wake. In their quest for followers to sustain their might, the deities granted mortals the ability to tame these beasts—but only if they pledged allegiance to a faction. Thus, a new system emerged: anyone wishing to become a beast tamer had to align with one of these factions. Taming the beasts became the key to restoring civilization. Yet, some individuals were born with a unique gift—a Mutation from generations of beast tamers that the gods had not foreseen—allowing them to tame beasts without faction ties. As factions clashed for dominance, engaging in fierce competitions for territory, each deity offered blessings tied to their elemental affinities, making it easier to tame their specific beasts. Our male protagonist is one such Mutation, capable of evolving his beast-taming abilities.
