When you talk about the apocalypse, have you ever wondered what it would look like in a third world country?

Search no more!

In a world threatening to crumble under the invasion of void creatures, with humanity on the brink of extinction, you would think Africa’s greatest problem would be a primordial calamity.

Wrong!

After becoming the only SSS-ranked class awakener in Africa, Uche is forced into an active role cleaning up government mishaps.

He is forced to fight in wars sabotaged by the misappropriation of funds.

He is forced to constantly speak up for the welfare of his ascendant brothers, dying on the frontlines for dusty old men embezzling national defense funds—and for a people cheering them on in hopes of peanuts.

He is forced to fight for a country populated by people just as corrupt and vile as their leaders.

Will Uche abandon his rotting nation for greener pastures abroad, or will he become the last true African patriot and turn into a martyr for this decaying society?

Let’s find out!

Ascension only affects chosen humans on the night of their 18th birthday. After being summoned, those chosen are assigned classes and sent into the sanctuary to train and secure resources.


Sanctuary is an artificial world created specifically to nurture awakeners. It is believed to be created by gods and has several levels. This place houses all the resources awakeners need to grow and reach their full potential.


These are safe zones within the sanctuary carved around gateways linking the mortal realm to the sanctuary. These safe zones usually serve as starting points for newbies, but there are still several neutral citadels scattered across all levels in the sanctuary.


This is the professional term used for awakeners. And of course, it comes with an ID and privileges.


If a void seed is not found and destroyed before it matures, a gate from the outer realm is opened and a horde of void creatures are unleashed into the real world. To destroy the seed, any number of ascendants can enter and attempt to conquer it.


Monsters of unknown origin that invade worlds through gates.


A Magical item tied to the essence of void creatures. Hollows are created from soul essence but can assume physical form when summoned.


A magical replica of a slain void creature, person or entity. Echoes are capable of limited autonomy but do not possess a soul and thus are not alive. Just like hollows, they are created from soul essence and assume physical form only when summoned.


A mystic core of one's spirit that is capable of accumulating and storing vast amounts of soul essence.


A physical manifestation of a broken soul core which contains soul essence.


A mystic spirit energy ascendants absorb from slayed void creatures to level up


A measure of power that is based on the quality of one's soul core. 


Void creature classes are determined by the number of soul cores they possess. These are the ranks ranging from one to seven:


An estimate of a hollow's potency is not only decided based on the soul rank but the classes as well. So an item from a resonant demon would be categorized as a tier four resonant hollow while an eternal titan will be classified as tier six eternal hollow.
