Imagine your father was the empire’s sharpest blade—the mind that made the emperor flinch , imperial heroes pause , legacies clans think twice—and the first time you see him in years, he’s already on the execution block.

The axe falls before you can scream his name. Before you can ask why.

All he leaves behind is a watch.

Inside it: a system… and something alive that should have stayed buried.

This is how Aiden’s story begins.

But just as he plans his revenge, a companion from a distant future is thrust back in time. A “human” has escaped its training, and monsters are gathering in the South to begin their march…
