The scarlet mist swept across the world. The extraterrestrial substance known as Ember gave rise to mutations and spawned conspiracies. The Research Institute sought to control the energy of the scarlet mist and rule the globe, turning a once-prosperous world into a living hell. Lu Chen, who possessed the power to control metal, crossed paths with Su Nuo, who had healing abilities, and his younger sister Lu Xing, who could resonate with all things. The three gathered companions with abilities such as plant healing, super strength, and hacking. Alongside them were Candy, a metal beast with humanlike intelligence, and Snowball, a beast with an extraordinary sense of smell. Together, they set out to resist the Research Institute and cleanse the scarlet mist.
They braved Blackstone Town, formed bonds in Sunset Valley, and rallied at Clearwind Ridge, building a resistance alliance and uncovering the secrets of the scarlet mist. They faced the mental manipulation and intricate schemes of Mo Yuan, the Research Institute's director, and shattered the darkness with the power of combined abilities. But when the scarlet mist dissipated, peace was not the end. The lingering effects of an alien rebellion and the interference of Mo Yuan's remaining forces soon followed. Two generations of ability users passed the torch, joining hands with alien peace envoys to make protection part of their very bloodline, bring technology and nature into harmony, and let friendship between planets shine.
This is a story of fierce battles between ability users and bonds forged through life and death, of the gentle, tender love between Lu Chen and Su Nuo as they find their way to each other through the gloom of the Ember Sun, and of the warmth of companions standing together and generations carrying on their legacy. From fighting the darkness to protecting the peace, from surviving the apocalypse to building a shared future across planets, the road ahead may be full of thorns, but love and tenderness are always there like sugar, melting away every shadow and making each ordinary day the most precious treasure left after the Ember Sun.
