A narcisstic prince and his depressed rival must fight for superiority to salvage a corrupt empire from the ambitions of the gods and the dead.
When the corrupt Empire of Ay is destroyed by the mysterious Dark Destruction and the narcissistic imperial heirs, Len and Anna Valley, having alienated their allies, it falls to their selfless protector, Kai Canarbis, to take control in the emergency. However, possessed with depressive issues from having served the dastardly Vallely’s until near death, even the incredibly accomplished Kai might not be capable of salvaging the Empire.
Separated from his charges, manipulated by the vicious Lazarus Cause and learning he's unconsciously responsible for the Dark Destruction itself with nightmarish power forced upon him in his traumatic past, it's Kai who actually threatens the world he seeks to protect. Meanwhile, the rightful heirs seek to redeem themselves by facing their dynasty's terrible crimes and assemble a coalition of former enemies.
As the Lazarus Cause and the Dark Destruction continue to conquer the nation, the anti-monarchistic League of Nine takes advantage, a vengeful Magic Type cause rises underground, an older evil attempts to restore itself with the power of the mythical Source and the wicked gods seek to interfere, there may not even be a living world remaining for anyone to exist in...
