Pangeran / Putri

Zenith was once the ‘Elite Cog,’ the pinnacle protector of Magitek, until he failed. His failure to detect an ancient poison curse trapped the Empress in stasis, costing him his identity. He now lives as the Exile Mechanic, a nihilistic junk scavenger who channels his pain solely through confusing, absurd jokes. However, when the Caledonian witch clans invade, Zenith’s ragged form can no longer conceal the Warlord’s combat memories. Forced to protect the teenage Crown Prince, he must balance the brutal ferocity of his military mode with the ridiculous buffoonery of his Exile persona. Fleeing across the Kingdom, Zenith and the Prince uncover a secret darker than his initial failure: the failure was not a mechanical glitch, but the work of ancient fate bound by the King’s Forbidden Oath. To destroy this curse and reawaken the Empress, Zenith must stop running from himself. He must learn to embrace the duality of the Warlord and the Clown, organize the remaining Magitek Legions, and prove that sometimes, the best way to maintain sanity against the horrors of war is to turn them into a joke.
