In a realm where gods govern the forces of life and death, Nyktos stands as the unwavering Goddess of Death, tasked with maintaining the balance by guiding souls to their rightful end. Known for her stoic demeanor and unwavering commitment to her duty, Nyktos has never questioned her role nor the isolation it brings—until the balance is shattered by an ancient entity, threatening the very fabric of existence.... more>>

Yusei, the vibrant and compassionate God of Life, seeks out Nyktos, proposing an unlikely alliance. Together, they embark on a quest to restore the balance, a journey that will take them across realms, challenge their understanding of their powers, and force them to confront their own beliefs about life, death, and everything in between.

As they journey, they encounter beings affected by the imbalance: souls unwilling to depart, life that refuses to flourish, and a world teetering on the brink of chaos. Each encounter tests Nyktos's resolve and slowly cracks the armor around her heart, revealing the pain and empathy she has long denied.

Yusei's influence gradually softens Nyktos. Through him, she begins to see her role not just as the taker of souls but as a guide who provides comfort in the face of the inevitable. His warmth and understanding of the interconnectedness of all things show her that emotions and empathy are not weaknesses but strengths that can guide her in her duties.

The turning point comes when they face the ancient entity, which thrives on the discord between life and death. In this moment, Nyktos's newfound empathy becomes their greatest weapon. Her ability to understand and comfort the souls in her charge and those left behind, including the entity itself, allows them to address the root of the imbalance.
