Aryan has always been different. For as long as he can remember, he’s noticed small changes in the world around him—shifts in reality that no one else seems to see. A tree that suddenly has a different shape. A street sign that changes overnight. A building that vanishes, replaced by something else entirely. He’s learned to keep these observations to himself, convinced that no one would believe him. But when he wakes up one morning to find that religion has been erased from history, replaced by a tyrannical regime known as the Order of the Eternal Flame, he realizes that the changes are far more dangerous than he ever imagined. The world he knew is gone. The temple he visited as a child has vanished, as if it never existed. His parents and friends don’t remember praying or worshipping. The Order’s doctrine—a rigid set of rules designed to suppress free will—now governs every aspect of society. Women are stripped of their rights, dissent is punished with execution, and war ravages the globe. Aryan is the only one who remembers the truth: someone has gone back in time and rewritten history. Guided by a mysterious voice from another dimension—the Observers—Aryan discovers that he is the only person immune to the changes in the timeline. His memories of the original world remain intact, making him the key to uncovering the truth. But the Order is watching. Their enforcers hunt down anyone who questions their doctrine, and Aryan’s unique ability makes him a target. As Aryan delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers the chilling truth: the Order of the Eternal Flame was created by a time traveler who arrived thousands of years ago, using advanced technology to pose as a god and manipulate humanity into submission. The time traveler’s ultimate goal? To create a “perfect” world—one where free will is eradicated, and obedience is absolute. With the help of a small resistance group called the Echoes, Aryan sets out to find the time traveler’s device and reverse the changes to the timeline. But the path ahead is fraught with danger. The Order’s enforcers are relentless, and the time traveler himself is always one step ahead. As Aryan struggles to piece together the fragments of the fractured timeline, he must confront the moral dilemmas of rewriting history: What is the cost of restoring the world he knew? And is he willing to pay it?

A thousand years ago, the Holy War reshaped the world. The Empire of Concordia, guided by the divine light of Lord Concorde, waged a sacred crusade against the Demonic Kingdom of Tempestas. It was a war of righteousness against savagery, of Order against Chaos. The war ended in absolute victory—Tempestas was erased from history, its people forgotten, its lands purified. This is what every citizen of Concordia is taught. This is the absolute truth. But during a routine lesson, Bastien Chronos, son of a high-ranking Sage, makes a fatal mistake. "If their kings were such tyrants… why didn’t their people rebel?" The classroom falls silent. His teacher ignores the question. His classmates stare at him like he’s uttered heresy. Something is wrong. That night, Bastien asks another question—one that should never be spoken. "Why do the runic stones that power our techno-magic only come from Tempestas?" The truth should have stayed buried. Now, he is marked. Hunted. A traitor to the Order he once served. But if Concordia’s perfect world is built on a lie… then maybe the real enemy was never Tempestas. And maybe the Holy War never ended.

When the world stood on the brink of destruction, consumed by the might of an all-powerful darkness, humanity prayed for salvation. They wished for the light—never realizing that their desperate plea would bring a curse far worse than the darkness itself. Five hundred years ago, in its most desperate hour, the world summoned a group of legendary heroes from another realm. These warriors, blessed with extraordinary abilities, united under a single purpose: to vanquish the almighty Dark Lord. Through sheer determination, teamwork, and a stroke of fortune, they succeeded, delivering the world from its greatest nightmare. The kingdom rejoiced. The people celebrated their saviors with parades, songs, and endless praise. But victory had changed the heroes. Power, once a tool of salvation, had become an addiction. The taste of worship, the ease with which they could bend the world to their will—it was intoxicating. The heroes, who were meant to be symbols of hope, refused to leave. They crowned themselves rulers, shaping the world in their image. What was once light had become a deeper, more terrifying darkness. Now, centuries later, their descendants still reign—oppressive, immortal, and untouchable. No one dares to oppose them… until Mary, an ordinary young man with no talents, no abilities, and no destiny, does the impossible. By sheer accident, he kills one of the ruling heroes. Now branded a traitor and a threat, Mary is left with only two choices: run and die… or keep fighting and become something even more terrifying than the legends themselves. Because if one hero can fall, then so can the rest. And Mary? He’s just getting started.
