Kael Varenn is an ordinary eighteen-year-old with no remarkable talent—until the world suddenly awakens to a mysterious System. Humanity is given seven days to prepare for an unknown World Event. Monsters appear, people gain Classes and Skills, and civilization begins to collapse. Kael's awakening is different. The System cannot assign him a Class. Then, on the seventh day, humanity faces an apocalypse no one could have predicted. Kael dies. But death is not the end. He wakes up seven days earlier, with every memory of the doomed timeline intact. Now he has one chance to change everything. But the more Kael changes the future, the more he realizes that the apocalypse was never a random disaster. Ancient records speak of 999 Gods. Kael discovers evidence that there was once a thousandth. A God deliberately erased from history. And somewhere inside the System, something is waiting for Kael to remember what the world was forced to forget.
