When the gods are dead, who will maintain the order of the world?
According to legend, the original god Kronos cast a ring with his heart and transformed himself into a world, ending chaos with his life and opening up the world. The divine ring called "Kronos Ring" carries all the mysteries of time, fate and order. It hangs quietly at the top of the sky, rotating endlessly, waiting for fate to come again.
Thousands of years later, a young man in a border town picked up the fragments of fate between the sea of fire and dreams on the night when his home was destroyed. In a world where darkness is approaching, faith collapses, the gods are silent, and only the fire of mortals has not been extinguished.
Can he break the ring of fate and reshape a new era? When fate comes back again, is he ready to face the call from the depths of time?
