“Ace.” That's the only thing the boy could remember clearly about himself as he came out of the rift that was said to only warp reality around it and release dangerous monsters that threatened society’s livelihood. With his arrival, filled only with a singular drive to survive no matter what it takes, Ace adapts and starts living within this new world he found himself in, the gears getting in motion as he gets plunged and caught in the crossfire of secrets and battles hidden beneath the world as he currently knows it. But even then, the hollowness within, birthed under the weight of a past unknown even to him, slowly erodes and shatters any of his remaining humanity. Will he succumb under the weight of his own unnatural existence? Or will he rise up to the challenge and face the adversities before him accompanied by the one person who sees the truth of his heart? Follow Ace in this Dark Fantasy where magic battles meets psychological drama in a journey where every hard choice may or may not chip away at your very being.
