…Now, with the birth of labyrinths and the whispers of artifacts, a new obsession took root in humanity.
It was no longer enough to survive.
It was no longer enough to claim riches.
Every man, woman, and nation desired one thing above all else—
to rise to the level of the Masters.
For if five humans had once ascended beyond mortality to save the world, then surely others could as well. The labyrinths, the artifacts, the battles—everything became a race to that unreachable summit.
And in that endless struggle, where countless lives were lost for the dream of transcendence, a boy named Chakra would grasp the impossible.
At death's door, he would awaken to a relic of the God of Time—and the gears of fate would begin to turn once more.
