Avatar Of Garuda

The world is dying. Earth, drained of oil, uranium, and even the promise of renewables, teeters on the brink of collapse. Skies glow with toxic haze, oceans choke with waste, and humanity clings to the last embers of energy. But salvation comes not from the soil of Earth, but from the skies above it. On August 17, 2045, rifts tear open across every major city — gateways to another realm: Nusantara, the Land of the Thousand Islands. A world saturated with Mana, where magic flows through forests, mountains, and seas like lifeblood. Here, mana condenses into radiant Mana Crystals, each capable of powering cities and nations cleanly, endlessly. Yet humanity cannot set foot there. For men and women born of Earth, Nusantara’s mana is poison. To bridge the divide, scientists forge the Neurolink System — a gateway of the mind. Through it, humans pilot Avatars, artificial vessels that can breathe mana, fight, and grow stronger by absorbing the essence of slain monsters. With every battle, Avatars evolve, leveling into legends… or dying, their cores shattered, their pilots left behind. In this crucible of discovery and conquest rise guilds, nations, and betrayals. And at its center is Andrew Yuan — once a Pavilion Master of the great Firmament Guild. In the future, September 30, 2065, Andrew was betrayed by comrades, abandoned by his own, and murdered at the very moment he was chosen to inherit leadership from his mentor. But fate offers him a cruel mercy: a return to his twenty-one-year-old self, days before the first descent into Nusantara. Armed with twenty years of memories — of treachery, bloodshed, and the rise and fall of empires — Andrew seizes his second chance. Together with Elias Wardhana, his childhood friend and trusted ally, he must carve a new destiny in a land where High Humans reign in gilded castles, Elves rule the treetops, Orcs forge empires in volcanic strongholds, Merfolk command the seas, and Beastkin thrive in primal jungles. Every alliance is fragile. Every resource, a prize worth killing for. Every guild, a rival clawing for dominance. And within the shadows, darker forces — Demons, ancient curses, and monsters born of pure mana — stir to reclaim a world that is not meant for humanity. But Andrew is no longer the naïve leader who died betrayed. He is the Phoenix Pavilion’s flame reborn. With his Avatar as his weapon and vengeance as his compass, he will challenge gods, kings, and traitors alike. From the ashes of betrayal shall rise the legend of Garuda.
