Calamity—a title reserved for a being powerful enough to endanger an entire continent, a force so overwhelming that their very existence threatened civilization itself.
In all of recorded history, only one true Calamity had ever descended upon Earth.
It happened over a hundred and sixty years ago.
The Heavenly Demon.
A singular existence of destruction, poised to reduce the Eastern continent to ruin during its golden age. But before he could complete his devastation, he was stopped by Liam Kagu, the Blessed Child of the Heavens and the First Hero—the first human in recorded history to step into high Radiant-rank, the realm of demigods.
The prophecies spoke of two Heroes who would rise when the world faced its darkest hours. The First Hero had already proven himself against the original Calamity. Now, in an age that many believed had moved beyond such legends, a Second Calamity had emerged.
Gideon Ironmaw, the Second Calamity.
