In its wake, Aether awakened—its polar opposite, offering power through structure, balance, and sacrifice. Now, the world is divided between Safe Havens, protected by the World Authority and fueled by Aether, and the Wastelands, ruled by the Corruption. In the shadows of society, humans chase strength by walking the Path of Ruin, risking their souls to survive the ever-growing Deadzones. Alexander, a 15-year-old scavenger from the fringe town of Greyreach, carries with him secret that could get him killed: he can wield both Aether and Corruption. As the World Authority tightens its grip, and rumors of an uprising circulate about, of civilizations beyond the stars, Alexander is forced to navigate the dangers of the world, and the ever growing Deadzones that threaten to destroy the world.

The warriors compromised of awakened humans; people who had gotten skills similar to those in a video game. Unfortunately, not everyone was willing to join this attack force, so the world leaders implemented a lottery-system to fill out the ranks. A few years later, Evelyn’s twin sister was chosen via lottery to become a discoverer, but their biased parents forced Evelyn to go in her sister's stead, putting her in the line of danger.

What she hadn’t expected was that her fiancé would betray her, because of a plot he concocted together with her sister. The monster annihilated their whole team before they were finally able to defeat it, but her fiancé had no thoughts of letting her leave the tower. Stabbing her in the back, he leered over her as he explained their plan while she slowly bled to death. With the last of her life force, dead set on getting her revenge on the man she had promised her life with, she heals the boss monster in hopes that it will kill him.
