Chapter 1: A World That Forgets, A Sky That Still RecordsA thousand years have passed since the world witnessed the rise of an entity beyond the reach of the gods—Zhael.
But now, Zhael is just an empty name,
faintly written in decaying manuscripts.
Zhael is no more.
Some believe he merged with humanity.
Some believe he returned to an untouchable dimension.
However, no one ever knew for sure.
THE CURRENT WORLD: THE NEW LAMBIODA
The hierarchy of power has changed,
but the five-tier structure still forms the foundation of the world:
* Tier (1–999)
* Level: very normal – impossible
* Stage (1–10,000)
* Rank (SSS to H)
* Ultimate skill level: max, ultra, advance, extremely, very extremely
Currently, not a single being exists above tier 999.
The peak remains empty.
And this is the life's purpose of a young man named "Auren Kaelis."
AUREN KAELIS: A YOUTH WITHOUT LEGACY, WITH A SKY-BOUND SOUL
Adopted son of a caretaker of ancient academy ruins,
Auren lives in the shadow of a golden age that has vanished.
He possesses no great power,
has no special bloodline magic,
and doesn't even know his origins.
Yet he has one thing no one else does:
> "The desire to break through the peak of the hierarchy…"
> "...and uncover what truly happened a thousand years ago."
>
A WORLD FULL OF COMPETITION
Combat magic schools.
High-level monster fields.
Hierarchy training centers.
Lambioda has become a world that filters strength,
and the weak will be left behind.
But Auren—
he wants to forge his own path,
even though the world considers him a nobody.
THE BEGINNING OF A JOURNEY
On the day he turned 17,
Auren received an unknown calling from an old hierarchy stone.
> "Oh Nameless Heir…
> the sky has waited too long for one capable of stepping beyond Zhael."
>
> "Prove yourself… and meet those who once stood in Zhael's shadow."
