In year 2050, an asteroid the size of a small planet, was on a collision course with Earth. Humanity’s desperate strike shattered it, its fragments halting in the Earth's sky forming the Shard Cities. But the collision left a hidden energy leaking into the world called Mana. Now in year 2150, humanity lives by one rule: Mana. Your M-Scale decides your worth. The powerful rule the floating Shard Cities above. The weak survive in the shadows below. Arin is one of the weakest a powerless M1 Cutter scraping a living in the lower city, dismantling dead Mana-Beasts to care for his sick mother and protect his younger sister. Invisible. Replaceable. Powerless. Until a core fragment explodes during a salvage operation. Arin should have died. Instead, something awakens inside him. A power that defies the M-Scale. Visions of a lost civilization flood his mind. As Arin grows stronger, the truth behind the Shard Cities, the monsters, and the very system of Mana comes into focus. And the being destined to destroy the world… may be connected to him. Now Arin must choose: fight fate, break the cycle, or become the reason the future exists.
