In a city where hidden factions and ancient bloodlines shape the balance of power… Rhythm decides survival. Hesitation is fatal. Johnny walks alone, black coat, steady hands, a past he can’t outrun. Once a mercenary, now hunting the truth behind his missing niece, he cuts down anyone in his way. Daisy is young, sharp, and running for her life. Her home is gone. Her past is ash. Survival drags her into the hands of thieves, where trust is a risk—and every choice has a cost. Their paths move on different rhythms. But the city is closing in. Gangs rule like kingdoms. Crime lords pull strings from the dark. Assassins listen for weakness. And somewhere in the shadows, Legends are rising—beings who don’t just fight… They change the rules of reality. Johnny and Daisy stand at the center. But they are not the only players. Power shifts fast. Alliances break faster. The rhythm decides everything.  The city is listening. A story of layered factions and shifting perspectives. Sing… or die.

Six years ago, the very first portal appeared that carried mana into Earth, awakening powers within humans. Some used them for selfish reasons while others thought to use them for the betterment of society. Everything changed when monsters appeared through these portals and humanity had to fight back against them for our survival. Amongst them were individuals who had awakened godlike powers that came straight from mythology: A New Yorker who has multiple pairs of wings sprouting from his back while carrying a scroll and pen; A Ukrainian firefighter who controls fire with the embodiment of a primordial demon; and even a Japanese historian who wields lightning that materialises floating drums on his back. They were Mortal Gods, mortals that had the power of Gods and now stand above humanity to supposedly protect us from the monsters beyond the portal. I was just another normal awakened human who was about to meet my end when a jade book appeared in front of me. What do you mean I have to comprehend Dao?! *** Notes: Any R-rated scenes will be denoted by a '*' followed by an 'R' with the number of 'R's showing how much of it is R-rated.
