When the Abyss descended, Earth did not just fall -- it evolved. Beams of darkness fractured the sky, transforming the world into a meat-grinder of nations and monsters. From the cataclysm rose Egoists, humans who awakened Archetypes -- shards of their inner demons -- to survive the rising tide of Null Creatures. Lucamir Elaric was seen as a defect. In a Federation where Egoists are ranked by their Synchronization with the Abyss, his score was a pitiful five percent. To the elite Noble families and the iron-fisted government, he was farm boy fodder. That was the world's mistake. Lucamir's Synchronization was never five percent -- it was one hundred percent, a perfect alignment misread as failure. While others lose their sanity to the Abyss, Luca is immune to corruption. While others are limited to a single Archetype, he possesses all seven. Labeled the son of terrorists, hunted by the Federation, and treated as a pawn by the whimsical "21st God," Luca is done surviving. He is not here to climb the ladder of society -- he is here to overwrite the system because in a world where everything is ranked and controlled, he is the one thing it cannot measure.
