Synopsis
Gerson was just a regular 26-year-old with a quiet life and an unremarkable death—until he woke up in a strange new world where only one in every hundred are chosen by the ancient system known as LAW. Marked by fate and hunted by secrets, Gerson must survive in a realm where evolution is power, and the weak are left behind. With no class, no allies, and a mysterious trait that grows stronger with emotion, his journey begins at the edge of the unknown. One soul. One chance. One LAW. Let the evolution begin.

Chapter 1 - GLOSSARY

LAW

A mysterious, ancient force that selects 1 in every 100 people brought into this world. It allows chosen individuals to evolve beyond mortal limits by unlocking unique abilities, traits, and transformation paths. Each LAW is different and adapts to the bearer's potential.

The Veil

The mysterious barrier between Earth and the new world. It's rumored to whisper to the dead, and only those who hear it are granted passage and the chance to receive the LAW.

LAW Status Panel

A personal interface only visible to the LAW-bearer. It tracks stats, growth, traits, and alignment with the LAW. Cannot be accessed or seen by others.

Evolution Path

A unique trajectory each LAW-bearer follows to develop powers, classes, and forms. Undefined at the start, it shapes based on experience and choices.

The Void

An unknown space of nothingness where souls without purpose or rejected by the LAW are lost forever.

The Sentinels

Mystic guardians of the world's balance. They monitor LAW-bearers and serve the ancient will of the LAW itself. Appearing in many forms, they judge worthiness and provide trials.

Tier

The level or stage of power within the LAW system. Tiers represent both strength and transformation.

Iseryn Wilds

The mystical forest Gerson awakens in. It's home to bioluminescent plants, magical creatures, and ancient ruins. The forest shifts and moves over time—no path remains the same.

The Outer Edge

A ring-shaped valley that separates the Iseryn Wilds from the rest of the world. Marked with strange obelisks that hum when LAW-bearers approach.

Distant jagged mountains filled with caves that pulse with forgotten power. Rumors say LAW awakenings have gone wrong there.
