Ten years ago, a catastrophe at the Gate Nexus drove his father deep into the Boundary Layer and his mother into the darkness, leaving him alone in the human world to guard an empty city.
Ten years later, the youth Lin Ye awakens the innate bloodline of a Gatekeeper. With half a token in hand, he sets out on a one-way road where peace can only be bought with his life.
The Shadow Tide runs rampant, Deep Divers close in, the Three Archbishops watch hungrily, and the True Archbishop lurks behind the scenes.
In the body of a youth, he stands before the world. Guided by his bloodline, he guards the primordial gate that determines whether humanity survives.
His father sacrificed himself to become a seal. His mother wore a false face for ten years. His comrades stand with him, through life and death.
With light in one hand and resolve in his heart, he raises an army and founds the Heartguard Corps:
He seeks neither heroism nor glory. He only guards the city’s lights, the gate’s peace, and his family’s reunion.
The darkness is endless, but the night watch never ends.
As long as the gate stands, so does he.
As long as the light shines, home remains.
The Gatekeeper of this generation makes his heart a lamp and his body a gate, never retreating until death.
