There's no looking back.
As the enforcer of the good, the Champion must battle the evil that threatens the human civilization. He has no origins to clutch onto for his insecurities; however, he still marches onward, ravaging the wicked to realize his distant dream of becoming a hero. He hopes for the day he is hailed as a legend, never to be forgotten by even the most frail and feeble.
However, his worst foe is the darkness that settles within him, uncontested and thirsty for control. It threatens to consume him, to pour out in uncontrolled fury as an empty past continues to haunt him.
His sole anchor to the mortal world is Shimmer, a gifted magician who tames the other-worldly champion like a prized stallion. Without her, he will succumb to the evil voice that would make him spiral into turmoil along with everything else. Even with a guiding light, the Champion is still lured by eternal darkness, where he will be lost forever with nothing to save him. Desolation will be his only company. In the war between choice and fate, which one will emerge as the victor?

Expect: • Flirtations hidden under death threats • Accidental romantic confessions mid-fight • Melodramatic exits (and entries) by yours truly, Wei Ying • Wangji being emotionally constipated but somehow still hot • Forbidden magic, ancient secrets, and a love neither destiny nor war can deny Because destiny may have made them enemies-but fate?
