In a world of tiered Realms where your birth decides your worth, the 8th Realm is a frozen wasteland—home to the oppressed, overtaxed, and forgotten. Each Realm ascends in luxury and power, and at the top sits the godlike rulers of the 1st. Power here isn’t just political—it's Karmic, and only the elite get access to the strongest forms.
Kian, a scarred and solitary 20-year-old from the 8th, lost everything in a state-led massacre meant to assert control. Left for dead, he awakened his Karma deep inside him in a moment of rage and despair . With a rusted suit of armor, a battered spear, and a burning will to find what remains of his shattered family, he begins a bloody ascent through the Realms.
Fueled by rage, alcohol, and a twisted sense of humor, Kian uses his now superhuman like abilities to defeat anyone who stands in his way. He doesn’t want to be a hero. He just wants answers, vengeance, and maybe—if they’re still alive—redemption.
But in a world built to break people like him, Kian may become the very monster the Realms were right to fear.
