About

In an age torn apart by endless wars, a former warrior clings to a fragile peace with his wife and young daughter—only to be dragged back into the battlefield within his own soul when tragedy strikes. His wife dies in childbirth, shattering what little humanity remained in him and transforming a once-gentle father into a merciless executioner of his own life. Their son grows up beneath the crushing weight of grief and cruelty, raised not in warmth but in the aftermath of a man who lost everything and chose to bury his heart in ashes. Under such darkness, something inevitable fractures within him. And in a single catastrophic moment, the son kills his own father. That act does not end the story—it ignites it. From that point forward, he steps into a world soaked in violence and vengeance, where wars are not only fought on battlefields, but carved deep into the human psyche. A journey begins—one of brutality, collapse, and a slow descent into the shadows of a soul that no longer knows where it belongs.
