The World Beyond

For millennia, humanity has lived in blissful ignorance, believing Earth is a lone planet in a vast, dark universe. In truth, Earth is merely a single continent of a massive, multi-dimensional plane, and the infinite void of outer space is the fractured, dormant domain of the universe's Supreme God. In ancient times, jealous outer continental gods conspired to murder him, triggering a catastrophic war. Heavily wounded, the Supreme God enacted a final, desperate failsafe: he severed and sealed the Earth continent away from the rest of the plane behind a colossal, metaphysical wall of ice known to modern mortals as Antarctica—The Glaciers Wall.

Riddled with near-fatal injuries from the war, the ancient creator gods retreated deep into their respective domains, entering a thousands-year-long hibernation to heal. They left behind their mortal creations—human followers who completely forgot the cosmic truth over generations. Only a clandestine secret society operating from a hidden Ancient City in the Pacific Ocean preserves the history, training elite "Awakeners" who are chosen and blessed by the fading power of the creators.

Now, the ancient seal is cracking, and The Glaciers Wall is rapidly melting as outer gods send vanguard assassins to wipe out humanity. During a university hiking trip in the rugged mountains of the Thousand Island Country, an ordinary engineering student named Ban stumbles into an undiscovered cave and touches a glowing cosmic fissure. Instantly blessed with the legendary element of Space alongside his native Lightning, Ban undergoes a violent, unstable awakening. As the cataclysm begins and the ice wall shatters on live television, Ban must survive the modern world, train under an outcast master, and master his dual elements before the universe beyond erases humanity entirely.
