This is an age of despair. The history of humanity has been rewritten, the foundations of cultivation stripped away, and humankind reduced to prey for the myriad races. Lin Yan crawls out from a pile of corpses in a mine, carrying the spark of wisdom from another civilization. He will teach the "heartflame" and create "runes," building cities from humble beginnings and raising the banner of resistance in the depths of despair. This is not the path of one man's invincibility, but the collective rebirth and unyielding expedition of a civilization forged in blood and fire.
