Beyond the Spotlight

For centuries, humanity has lived under an illusion—a veil of powerlessness woven by the rulers beyond the S-Wall. These unseen overlords, the Saints, drain Earth’s mana, keeping humans weak and oblivious to their true potential. The world’s superpowers serve them as puppets, enforcing their rule in exchange for dominance over their fellow humans. But resistance brews in the shadows. In the forbidden lands of Zeta, where ancient civilizations once thrived, a secret war rages between the imperial families and a faction known as Twilight—a rebellion seeking to restore humanity’s lost power. Enter Alexander—half-human, half-Saint, an outcast caught between two worlds. When his father, a former Twilight operative and the bastard son of the Emperor, is assassinated, Alexander stumbles upon a hidden truth locked within a mysterious ring. The memories within reveal his father’s final mission: to overthrow the Saints and break the chains binding humanity. Hunted by imperial assassins and drawn into the deadly power struggle between noble houses and rebels, Alexander must master his unstable mana, uncover his lost heritage, and carve his own path in a world where trust is a dangerous gamble. Will he reclaim the power stolen from humanity, or will he become just another pawn in the endless war beyond the S-Wall? A tale of betrayal, power, and destiny begins.
