In the mystical land of Tribal, where ancient legends breathe and folklore walks, balance is sacred—and power is deadly. Four primal forces rule this realm, each so volatile that no one can wield more than one without being consumed. But when Alkan, a stranger from another world, appears holding all four, the balance shatters. His body is breaking. His mind is slipping. And the very fabric of the Tribal Lands trembles in his wake. To survive, Alkan must embark on a perilous journey across realms and dimensions to find the only artifact capable of containing the storm within him. But time is running out.

Torn between a destiny he never asked for and powers that could destroy him, Alkan must navigate treacherous alliances, unravel forbidden prophecies, and battle those who seek to control or kill him. The apocalypse is coming—and only a man destined to be torn apart can hold it back.

Mercy is a luxury when currency of survival is lifespan. Crackle . . . hiss . . . boom . . . rain falls on corpses. The storey opens on the mountain of the dead - the last battlefield of the human race. Li Wei, who is a broken man under the curse of accelerated ageing, stands among the ruins of the Ancient God. His shaking hands hold a divine artefact - The Eye of Judgement. His body decays. His breath comes out in broken gasps - huff, cough, splat. And then… betrayal. The only family he's ever had - his sister, Li Xue - looks coldly on as she drives the dagger deeper into his chest. Thud… hiss… crackle… She calls him "nothing but an adopted mistake." A man named Yang Xun, brilliantly like an idol of deceit, thanks him mockingly. That's when Li Wei realises - the world doesn't reward love. It rewards survival. When he dies, something ancient is roused inside The Eye of Judgement. And when he opens his eyes again - it's 2025, the day the god forsaken game, LYTABern, descends upon Earth.

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.

And forge a new Rome in a world that has never known its might. War. Strategy. Divine power. A legend begins at the edge of the desert.
