After his death, Val awakens in a world completely foreign to him, inhabiting a body that should have long since been dead. Carrying the memories of his former life, he attempts to begin anew while learning to understand a world filled with magic, Flux, Taint, Blight, and countless mysteries. Along his journey, Val encounters Sera and Arturia. Together, they slowly uncover the secrets of this unfamiliar world, while Val begins to realize that the power dwelling within him is far stranger—and far more dangerous—than he could have ever imagined. In a world that appears peaceful yet hides countless shadows, Val only wishes to live out his new life. But something that has already died should never have come back to life.
