Kael serves the Helios Empire as an unassuming frontier warden, concealing his true identity as an ancient primordial guardian who voluntarily locked away his cosmic abilities centuries ago. Blinded by arrogance and court flattery, Empress Veyra sanctions a humiliating tribunal that strips Kael of rank and expels him into the wastelands like a dog.

As foreign armadas invade and world-shattering behemoths awaken, the imperial nobility watches in paralyzed horror as the man they mocked stands revealed as their sole god.
