Synopsis
Three hundred years ago… the Sun vanished. In its absence, Earth became a fractured world of eternal twilight — reshaped by celestial forces beyond comprehension. As darkness took hold, strange new lifeforms emerged: humanoid beasts, sentient crows, serpent gods, and mythical spirits born from death itself. Two mysterious moons now loom above, governing tides, madness, and memory. In the shadows of this ruined world walks Kael — a boy who cannot die. Branded with the Mark of Infinity, Kael has wandered for centuries, untouched by age or blade. But who cursed him with this immortality? And why does he dream of the Truth Temple, hidden deep within the Himalayas — a place where time flows differently, and forgotten gods whisper through the ice? As he journeys through sky cities, broken continents, and war-torn cult empires, Kael begins to uncover the horrifying truth behind the vanished sun, the rise of false religions, and the fate that awaits all life beneath the twin moons. Because sometimes… the gods you worship are the very reason your world died.

Chapter 1 - the sunless world

Prologue: Rebirth of the World

"Now darkness was no longer just the absence of light…

now it had become the greatest reason for humans to live.

Or perhaps… their greatest compulsion."

Year: 2700

300 years have passed…

When the sun sank, it never rose again.

No one knows what happened that day.

Some say — it was an alien attack.

Some say — God took away the light from humans, angry at their sins.

But… the real truth?

No one has found it even today.

The sun… is now just a story.

A story parents tell their children at bedtime.

Where there was sun… there was light… there was life.

Today, only 15% of humanity is alive.

How?

Come, let us search for the light within this darkness —

The Sunless World – Rebirth of the World

Scene: Year 2300 (Flashback – The Fall)

Everything was normal.

Children were going to school. Adults were leaving for work.

Life was moving like a dream…

…and then suddenly, 7 orbs lit up the sky — each filled with a different colored energy.

And then…

a blinding light appeared…

…and everything sank into darkness.

The sun — had vanished.

How? Why?

No one understood anything.

Without the sun, the earth began to freeze…

Trees began to wither, animals started to die, and food became scarce.

The world stood on the edge of extinction…

…and that's when two mysterious lifeforms appeared — Onigan and Gravia.

These beings weren't just stabilizing oxygen…

they were also keeping gravity under control.

Humans saw them as "gifts from God" —

And began worshipping them.

In this way, a new religion was born —

Soleneth

Where humans began to worship both Onigan and Gravia as the "source of life".

(To tell the truth — is it really that easy to become a god?)

Maybe the gods of ancient times were made the same way…

Power System: The Rise of Super Spirits

After the sun vanished, animals across countless species began to die —

From small fish to mountain-sized monsters — all of them.

But… their souls went neither to heaven nor to hell.

Something was stopping them… from leaving this world.

And when humans began drawing power from these souls —

a new form of energy was born: Super Spirits

For the first time in reality, the world witnessed the existence of spiritual energy.

But where did these spirits come from?

All of it was connected to that 300-year-old incident —

The truth of which still remains unknown.

Scientists researched for years —

But everything was beyond their understanding.

A world where:

There were two moons in the sky,

The sun had vanished,

Super spirits wandered the land,

And Source of Life Creatures floated in the open sky…

It all felt like a dream.

The Truth Temple – A Forbidden Secret

It is believed that the real truth of the world is hidden in one place —

The Truth Temple — a forgotten site above the Himalayan peaks.

No one has reached it to this day.

Those who tried — began aging rapidly.

Many grew old while climbing… and died there itself.

Helicopters tried as well —

But clouds, lightning, and gravity distortion prevented anyone from getting through.

Many believe —

Whether it's the Soleneth religion or the roots of other faiths —

It all began from this one temple.

It is said —

"The God of the Mountain – Agaraya"

resides there…

And he is waiting for a worthy soul,

One who can bring light back to this world…

The New Earth – After Sun Vanished

As soon as the sun disappeared, gravity began to distort.

Sea levels began to rise.

Land started to break apart.

All continents split.

Only 6 continents remained:

Glaciem

– The coldest region.

– Source of Life Creatures are rare here.

– Pale-blue skinned humanoids — the Glaciens — live here.

Salvaris

– Due to extremely low gravity, people constantly float.

– Ravens and crows evolved into humanoid forms here.

Nextera

– Birthplace of Source of Life Creatures.

– Still filled with greenery, rivers, and forests.

– The people here follow the Soleneth religion completely —

With hope that one day the gods will forgive their sins and return the sun.

And in the middle of it all…

When humans stood at the edge of extinction —

Many intelligent species had already evolved.

They had now reached human-level intelligence…

And thus was born —

Animaraa – Land of the Evolved Beasts

Isn't that enough?
