Five thousand years ago, humanity discovered Manu, an extraordinary energy source capable of reshaping the world. It empowered individuals to enhance their abilities and provided a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to coal and oil. However, this miraculous energy brought unforeseen dangers. Animals exposed to Manu mutated into deadly creatures known as Variants, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. Survival seemed impossible until humans discovered they could awaken unique skills, powers born from their connection to Manu, which turned the tide in their fight against the Variants. Now, five millennia later, Manu has become an integral part of daily life. Humanity thrives, but Variants still roam the world, and the mysteries surrounding Manu’s origins remain unanswered. This is the story of Valk, a low-level hunter struggling to find his place in a world where strength and skill define worth. When a tragic accident decimates his guild, Valk awakens a mysterious and unprecedented unique skill that could disrupt the delicate balance of power. As he embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind Manu, humanity’s forgotten past, and his own enigmatic origins, Valk’s choices may shape the future of the world—or bring it to ruin.
