After the collapse of the old gods, the continent was devastated, human city-states were divided, and monsters continued to emerge from the cracks in the abyss. {Karen}, an abandoned person on the battlefield, accidentally got a bone ring and awakened the ash magic that can swallow death and transform the land. He started as a refugee with nothing, occupied the abandoned passes on the border, gathered the refugees, built camps, resisted the tide of beasts, fought against the city-state soldiers, and suppressed the erosion of the abyss. He did not rely on the gods or surrender to the royal power. He used the power of Ashes to open up wasteland and build cities, gather his partners, and gradually grew from a small pass lord to a lord who had a firm foothold in the Ashes Land, and which no other country or abyss dared to despise.
