The Divine Realm exists alongside the mortal world- but only through the intervention of the gods do the two interact. The gods have shaped civilization, choosing champions to represent them. They are immortal, not eternal. They can fall. They can be murdered. And now, one of them has vanished, setting off a chain reaction that threatens to unravel both worlds. Taehyung wakes up sputtering, with blood pouring from his mouth, as the seemingly harmless incense sticks from his altar set fire to his dormitory room. No one knows how or why- some say the Deity of Rulers and Ruin was killed, others whisper that he chose to disappear. Without this deity, the balance of power collapses. Empires will fall, chaos will spread. A new god must take his place. Becoming a god comes with the pros of immortality and the cons of losing your humanity. Only one other being has ever refused godhood before- and they were erased from history.
At twilight's edge, where gods and men collide,
The Ruler of Ruin fades, swallowed by the tide.
Crimson fumes rise, a veil of fate they weave,
Promising power, yet with loss they cleave.
A soul may rise, or in shadows, fall-
For the truth wears many faces, seen different by all.
