It is a world nearly controlled by the necromancer, Grymr, who extends his power over the remaining kingdoms. The cruel butchery of his undead Gravers and the trapped spirits of his unfortunate victims give the necromancer an advantage as he sends his forces against the last bastions of the old world.
The last fortress island of Charax remains independent of the necromancer. However, the decrepit kingdom holds the Nalith, a sacred object sought by Grymr and the ultimate goal of his control. Unfortunately for those inside the fortress, like the society inside, the walls are just a crumbling symbol of a grand past. Strict social and economic stratification bring misery among most of the population.... more>> However, it allows the Chara clan to control the island using the help of pirates who dominate the waters.
Like many trapped in the decaying society that waits for the necromancer to overwhelm the island, Hilko hates everything about his world.

When the quick-witted smuggler takes a job with the encouragement of his female friend, Silna, they steal a royal artifact called the Nalith. However, he soon learns that the object holds a power that gathers spirits and can help one foresee the future.
In a forced journey of escape and discovery, the smuggler fatefully decides on a path for him. Can Hilko use the power of the Nalith to escape his fate or change his world?

One wish that spurred thousands to ascend, yet despite their toils, their hopes, and dreams, none managed to reach the top.

Until one. His name destined to go down in history as the first. Odysseus.

To him, the tower meant 20 years of bloodshed carved through 200 floors of horrors. Trampling on the bodies of those blessed by gods who came before him.

"What could a man with the power of a god possibly wish for?"

In a world where people are born with special traits that give them some abilities and even superpowers, Aleph was born with only one trait for some reason. However, he dreams of living another life in a different world... a past that he didn't know was true or just an illusion. ... more>>

Thanks to those dreams, he becomes self-aware of his situation much quicker than the others. He is a war orphan, and eventually, when he is able to work, he becomes a slave for people he didn't even know and who sent his parents to their deaths. He is forced to live that kind of life for many years without any choice.

At first, Aleph thought that his trait would be useless... some people can run super fast while others have super strength, but he can only heal a bit quicker than the others. His way of thinking changes as he begins to work, and his traits start to level up. Not only that, but his body also starts to become stronger in response to all the work that he does. His trait not only heals him but can also repair his body and make it stronger afterward.

With that new knowledge, Aleph decides to train for many years to become strong enough to free himself. But when his chance is finally approaching, he learns that the world is in chaos. Wars never stop, and thousands of people die with each battle. No matter where he goes, death and battles will chase him. In a world like that, he can't just become strong enough to free himself—he has to become strong enough to make real change. <<less
