Why am I here...where there was no sun. My vision was limited...but I felt the darkness around me. I raised my hand...I possessed a transparent gray form...strange?... And that was all.

Before time was measured and before the first star ignited the void, there was only the Architect. From the formless abyss, he wove the cosmos, separating light from darkness, order from chaos. Three realms emerged from his will—the Heavenly Realm, where the divine would dwell, the Mortal Realm, where life would flourish, and the Underworld, where the remnants of creation would settle. At the heart of this new existence, the Architect shaped the first being—Atorian, a figure of power and wisdom, destined to oversee the world alongside his wife, a being of grace and harmony. They laid the foundations of civilization, yet the Architect’s breath did not cease. From faith and devotion, gods emerged in the western lands, sustained by belief and vanishing when forgotten. Immortals arose in the east, eternal yet bound by their own laws. And in the uncharted corners of the world, forces beyond comprehension stirred. But creation was not without consequence. As divinity spread, so too did conflict. Faith became a weapon, kingdoms clashed, and the balance wavered. In the secluded lands of demons, unknown to gods or men, seven great nations waged ceaseless war, trapped in a cycle of ambition and ruin. Yet, amid this vast and intricate design, a single act would shift the course of history—the Architect’s breath upon the world. In the east, he planted the first garden, Eden, where humankind would take its first steps. Ashel, the first man, awoke beneath its boughs, untouched by time, unaware that his existence was the beginning of something far greater than himself. His wife, yet to be born, would share in this harmony, but their fate, like the fate of the world, remained uncertain. Thus begins the first verse of an eternal tale—a saga of creation and destruction, of gods and mortals, and of the Architect’s unseen hand, shaping destiny with every breath.

Wes Carter is dying. A black sword pulses with corruption in his chest, his strength fading as blood seeps into the battlefield. He has no regrets—his people escaped, the war was fought, and he killed the man with void-black eyes. But it wasn’t enough. It never was. As darkness claims him, two figures appear—enigmatic, powerful, and knowing. And with cruel certainty, they reveal a truth that shatters everything Wes believed: His future was stolen. Wes remembered that day. The day, as a child, he met the man with void-black eyes. The man who stood before him, bathed in the blood of those Wes cherished. The man who could have killed him but didn’t. Instead, he burned Wes’s soul, severing something deep within him. That was the day everything changed. That was the day he became a Null. He should have been able to claim a Void Crystal, to rise like the others. Instead, he was cut off from that power, forced to forge his own way through Essence alone. And despite that, despite everything, he became peerless, a warrior standing at the edge of the Grand Stage—the universe beyond Earth’s wars. And then, all these years later, that same man returned. Not alone. This time, he led an army—not just soldiers, but Fallen, beings marked by corruption, their eyes the same void-black as his own. They descended upon Wes with overwhelming force, and though he fought, though he killed his greatest enemy, it still wasn’t enough. More questions than answers. Why had his future been stolen? Why had that man, all those years ago, chosen to cripple him instead of killing him? Now, as Wes breathes his last, the two figures offer him something impossible: A second chance. They will sever the future—a phrase Wes doesn’t yet understand—but before he can question it, they shove a black seed, dark as night, into his chest. And then—rebirth. No longer fighting for survival in a dying world, he enters a new era—one where humanity has rebuilt, where Void Crystals, Essence, and Mana-Tech shape civilization, and where the truth of the universe is within reach. Yet, the past is not erased. The man with void-black eyes may be dead, but the forces behind him still move. The answers he seeks are still out there. And this time, he will find them. Monsters. Rival races. Forgotten legends. The enemies lurking beyond the void. This time, Wes Carter will not be denied. His rise is inevitable. (NOTE READ AUXILLARY CHAPTER)
