In an era when the tide of source energy has sunk into a sluggish low, magic has fallen silent and advancement seems impossible. The shadow of mutation spreads like a plague, taking root in remote corners of the continent.
Leon, a lowly miner in Stone Ring Town, has a life as insignificant as dust. To repay a crushing debt and save his family, he is forced to enter the forbidden 【Bloodweeping Mine】, only to become entangled in a struggle over a divine legacy far beyond anything he could have imagined. At the brink of despair, he carries his only chance at survival, the 【Moonlit Moss Thistle】, and perishes alongside the source of the terrifying mutations.
Death is not the end. When he returns from death’s silence, he gains more than a new life: he obtains a key to the divine realm, the shattered 【Moonlit Divinity】. He gains the power to purify and consume mutations, feeding on corruption as he walks a forbidden path of rapid ascension.
Yet the divinity is also a curse. The New Moon Theocracy’s gaze, the Seven Towers Federation’s pursuit, the call of an ancient pact... The various powers emerge from the darkness like sharks scenting blood. Every step he takes plunges him deeper into a web of conspiracies and betrayals.
From the Everdark Forest to the Sleeping Valley, from the hidden currents of Creekwood to the border town of Shihu, miner Leon’s pickaxe will no longer be used merely to dig for ore. He will use it to carve through the mists of history and toll the death knell of the old gods, until... amid the echoes of countless laws, he ascends the long staircase to godhood that belongs to him.
This is the story of a mortal who devours gods in a crumbling world and ultimately becomes a legend.
