“I shall see the end of this day!” In a world on the edge of collapse, who could defy despair? In the ruins of dreams and shadows of death, who was writing fate’s cruel script?

That was Song Jaewon's despair.
The key had no practical value in combat—no attack or defense capabilities. More importantly, it offered no support functions either.
