"You said I was living carefree and easy. Why did I suddenly decide to make Zaun great again?" Karl transmigrated beneath the light of the stars, arriving at the Bridge of Progress on the Day of Ashes. From the start, he was picked up and taken home. Two younger sisters, two younger brothers, and a dad. One sister boxes and invents things; one brother is a clever little slacker; and their dad, all alone, has seen through the ways of the world.

When the first shot rings out on the Bridge of Progress, the fate of both cities takes the stage. Who can stay out of it? A parallel world? Who, exactly, is the future? Beneath the wheels of the empire, how can a city struggle to survive while protecting itself?

"Noxus could do it, too."
"What the heck! What does Zaun have to do with this!?"
