They are just nothing in his mind, not even a single wondering moment about his future. Everything just seems average for him. "Normal" grades, "normal" family, "normal" looks, "normal" life. Everything just seems... normal, that’s it- is what he usually tapes himself with as he walks on the street towards the school. He seems fine with it though, not even asking for something fun. A Diety, Vessel, and friend of god of Earth, coincidentally looks upon him below, sighed as he finally figured out that the boy is another one that wasn’t given a proper storyline in life by his friend. Feeling interested but somehow sorry for the boy, he then granted the boy something that will give him a story that he hadn’t even wished to have. Something fun, something great, and something worth living for. The thing, the key to unlocking the story, the power to see anything beyond what humans thought was a limited reality. This is the story of a boy that can see the other side of the world already.

The human race was forged by three great Falls: The First, which brought Senar, the unit of power that created both the Empowered of the Living and the Zombiekind; the Second, which unified humanity under the World Will after the catastrophic Immortal War; and the Third, which pushed mankind into the interstellar age. Now, years later. Saquin, a hybrid between human and Zombiekind, was living his gentle, uneventful life as a high value commodity on a slave spaceship. That was till his life took a sudden turn just as his sixteen birthday approached. Too bad life did not give him enough time to adjust to his new life as he was selected as an Empowered candidate in succession. Now, Saquin with no noteworthy knowledge of the Empowered world is to participate in an Empowered Trial, which was not simple as it seems. The good news, is that he seems to be favored by both heaven, with his Divine-level talent, and the system entities including the World Will. Little did he know that such favors came at a price, a subtle but heavy one, especially for an hybrid abomination like him.

"Küçük tavşancık, küçük tavşancık. Kurt AÇ!" Ses benimle alay ediyor, ardından şeytani bir kahkaha geliyor. "Koş, tavşan. KOŞ!" Korkunç bir gürleme gece gökyüzünü delip geçti ve ruhuma bir balyoz gibi çarptı. Vücudumun her yanını kaplayan bir ürperti ve göğsümde çarpan kalbimi hissedebiliyordum.

Çığlık atmaya çalıştı, ama sesi çıkmadı; ne olduğunu anlamadan, Viking kurtadamların yanlarında gizemli perilerle hüküm sürdüğü bir dünyada uyandı.

Gümüş bir hançer her birinin bileğini deldi, avın başladığını işaret ediyordu! "Ay tanrıçasını onurlandırıyoruz; kanınız eşinizi size yönlendirsin!"
