A thousand years ago, a catastrophe swallowed the world—
and the man responsible for saving it
was erased from history.

His name sealed.
His existence forgotten.
His legend lost forever.

Now, he awakens in the heart of a future city of steel and light—
one that has evolved without him.

This era calls its superpowered humans Ascendants.
Ninety percent of the population manifests unique abilities:
control over elements, space, soul, technology…
The powerful rise to the top.
The weak are cast aside.
And those without abilities — Mundanes — live like they don’t deserve air.

In this society built on discrimination and hierarchy,
Shinra is an anomaly.

Even with his true might sealed away by unknown forces,
only 8% of his power remains
and that alone marks him as a Tier 1 —
the highest classification known to this age.

Yet no records of him exist.
No origin.
No registration.
No evidence he ever lived.

“A Tier 1 with no past? Does he think the world is stupid?”
“Is he a fraud? Or something worse?”

The truth?
Even Tier 1 cannot contain him.
At full power, he once stood beyond all tiers —
a sovereign whose existence shook the balance of the world.

But now…

He knows nothing of his downfall.
Not the reason he was sealed.
Not the enemy who struck him down.
Not even his true name —
because the world itself refuses to let him remember it.

Only one voice remains:
Arios — the System bound to his soul.
A loyal servant who tracks his abilities, guides his path,
and avoids the one forbidden secret:

[Forgive me, Master… I am unable to speak your true name.]

As rumors spread of a nameless Tier 1,
interest becomes suspicion…
Suspicion becomes fear…
Fear becomes the spark of war.

Because when the seal finally breaks—
the era that replaced him will kneel to the one it tried to forget.

The lost era’s sovereign has returned.
And this time, the world will not be allowed to forget him again.

I have decided to stop working on this series, and it will be officially discontinued.


Due to mental burnout and creative exhaustion, the story has drifted far from what I originally planned. At this point, continuing would only create more mismatches, inconsistencies, and plot holes — and I don't want to deliver something that feels forced or incomplete.


The current chapters will remain available on the platform.


If I ever feel ready in the future, I may rewrite and continue the story from a fresh perspective.


If not, there's a chance I will reuse this world-building and some of its ideas in a future mystery-based project.


Thank you so much to everyone who read, supported, and even just checked out this story. I was able to push this far because of you.
