In the class-divided, MOD-obsessed Veridia City, a frail young courier named Kai is accidentally fused with a mysterious, powerful artifact during a violent ambush. He awakens with a nascent dragon Anima and a cold, game-like "System" in his mind that rewards him for predatory acts, forcing him to confront a monstrous new hunger and a terrifying path to power while desperately trying to hide his transformation from his loved ones and survive in a world that preys on the weak.

In the dim light of a storeroom, Vekaya wakes up, alone and with no memory of who she is, where she is, or how she got there. In an orphanage run by an arcane religious cabal, our first protagonist has no choice but to become an investigator, a rebel, and her very own hero. At nearly the same time and not far away, a mysterious and deadly force from an uncharted region causes the town of South Hall to destroy itself, leaving Gyrath and his little brother Caedrus equal parts baffled and horrified. Taken from a stable and easy life, they are now adrift in a world of wolf packs, shapeshifters, will-bending shamassons, and the death crawler: a worm made entirely of corpses, the size of a tower that breathes violent madness into those unlucky enough to be near it. The trio must learn to put aside their differences in the hopes that the three of them will survive their adventure and save Hammercleft - and possibly the world - from those who would dominate it.

The age of peace did not end quietly. It cracked apart like glass, and now gods whisper through broken skies while kings sharpen blades in the dark. Me? I was never meant for any of this. Just Kaelion Stormborn , son of a ruined house, heir to a name even dust forgot. But storms do not mark the ordinary, and mine did not ask. When the ancient seals that held the world s oldest powers splintered, something inside me changed. The storm did not merely answer me. It became me. Lightning listens when I breathe, thunder follows where I walk. It is not as glorious as it sounds. Half the time it feels like being strapped to a wild god that has not decided if it likes me or wants me dead. I do not walk alone. Drokmar moves the earth as if it were clay. Aurelius folds milliseconds like maps. Lyren is shadow-born, loyal only to the scars she keeps. Together we chase seals and memories. Waiting is Varok, the Iron Prince: crowned in steel and fire, beautiful and ruthless, hungry for more than kingdoms. He wants eternity returned , gods and men remade whatever the cost. As the seals bleed memory into the world, the storm remembers something worse than my own name. It reminds me of what I once did. Choice is all I have left. Will I bend to a fate that remembers me as a killer, or will I tear it down and write my own verdict? Storm by storm, I will decide.
