Zakry has never been ambitious. While others dream of becoming mages, legendary warriors, or heroes remembered for generations, he has a simpler dream: to live peacefully, avoid trouble, and get as much sleep as possible.

His favourite place? A tree in the forest.

To his parents, he's their carefree son. But there are secrets surrounding Zakry that even he doesn't fully understand.

Once every year, a phenomenon known as the Darkness Tyrant threatens the world's existence. For an entire day, magic becomes unpredictable, ancient forces stir, and even the most powerful beings have reason to fear.

Then comes midnight.

An hour of chaos ,when the impossible becomes possible, and things better left undisturbed may awaken.

As another Darkness Tyrant approaches, those closest to Zakry seem determined to keep his life peaceful.

But what are they so afraid of?

And why does a boy who wants nothing more than a quiet life seem connected to something the world may not survive?
