“Perhaps we are indeed the main characters of the story, but who is to say we are not the Galactic Republic in the prequel --- No matter how many victories we seize or how many foes we slay, our fate has been sealed from the very beginning.” --- KR043. When a portal to another world was created in the deserts of Nevada, the United States, humanity was faced with a choice. Neglect it, and pray nothing happens. Or confront it, and in doing so, pay a dear cost. Earth chose the latter, and thus, came the heroic tales of the Phasewalker Corps. And thus, came the numberless skirmishes, battles, and wars that would ravage across Humanity's enemies. And thus, came the warcry that would soon echo through countless worlds. "For Earth! For Humanity! For...Victory!" This is the story of the generation that burns.

In a world forged of darkness and blood... in a life where secrets are as sharp and destructive as swords, how dangerous can it be to love? Undera, the untouchable Master of the Blue Lily, knew this danger better than anyone. He had lived his life without a single spark of affection, compassion, or surrender. That is, until he discovered that "Crimson Jewel" glowing in the heavy, sooty shadows of the Darta barracks. The moment he saw Theon Draoan, all the calculating walls in his mind crumbled, leaving only one primal, selfish desire: To make him his own. But what would this obsessive belonging blooming in the mud of Darta cost? A city trying to rise from its ashes? A massive empire ruled by blood? Or their own lives? Undera chose not to think about it. The venom of the Capital, the bloody secrets of the Temple, and even his own approaching end no longer mattered. Because in this filthy world to which his soul never belonged, where he loathed everyone; Theon was the only one who made his delicate heart—hidden behind a porcelain mask—truly beat for the first time. Secrets topple empires, swords spill blood. But the only thing that can light this dark world is the fire of that Crimson Jewel. If you water a blue lily with blood, it too becomes tainted.
