IN THE NAME OF GOD
In a world where divinity is bought with the price of a life, to ascend is to die.
For eons, the hierarchy of existence has been absolute. At the peak sit the Four Pillars—celestial entities who hold the keys to the higher Acts. They are not merely rulers; they are the gatekeepers of the soul. While they grant the power for mortals to rise, they are the ones who decide when the ladder ends. They do not want equals; they want subjects.
Orion del Emris was never meant to be a legend. He possesses no "cheat" system, no divine lineage, and no prophecy to protect him. He is simply a man fueled by a terrifying, singular determination—a will that refuses to stay buried.
In this world, the "Ordeals" are the only path to power. To reach a new Act, you must ritualistically meet your end. But the cycle is rigged. The resurrection windows are narrow, the risks of total soul-erased "Rebirth" are constant, and the Four Pillars are always watching for any spark that shines too brightly.
Orion must navigate a landscape of Master-level sovereigns, ancient artifacts with soul-crushing costs, and a cold war between gods that threatens to tear reality apart. He will die once. He will die a hundred times. But each time he claws his way back from the grave, the Four Pillars realize too late:
Some men are too stubborn to stay dead.
