Nine cycles of reincarnation, eight gruesome deaths! He once slaughtered gods for the one he loved and gave his life for all living beings, only to be betrayed by his own kin and abandoned by the world!
When he awakens for the ninth time, his childhood sweetheart is still pretending to be innocent, and his brothers are still ready to “take a blade for him.” Yet all of them will be reduced to ashes in the funeral song woven by the “Creator”!
For eight lifetimes, the one he loved killed him with her own hands. Weeping, she stood before the sword that would destroy the world for me: “Every time I betrayed you, it was to leave you a glimmer of hope in the final cycle...” “I bore eight lifetimes of infamy, all so that in the ninth, you could see the truth with your own eyes...”
If Heaven seeks to crush me, I will defy Heaven! If the gods seek to destroy me, I will slay the gods! If this world is unjust, I will remake it!
Fighting through every obstacle and refusing to yield, he rises swiftly and raises his blade against the gods with all his might, only to discover that their faces are etched with the same sorrow as his own!
If the rules are a cage, I will break them! If fate is a shackle, I will forge it anew!
