Zenith, is the next step in human evolution. A glittering tower in the center of Kecarine, Zenith houses some of the most advanced technology the world has to offer after the destruction of the Schism. One of those technologies is Six.
Six spends most of his time floating, watching his education programs, and banging his fist against his glass confinement. Though he can't remember how he came to be in this prison within Zenith, he knows that his life was not always like this. He used to live outside this place with dirt on his feet and wind running through his hair. But now he is stuck. All he can do is float, watch, and wait for the right moment to try his luck.

His voice was lost in a traumatic event he barely remembers, leaving him isolated and misunderstood. When the annual Aqua Trials are announced-a grueling competition held in the floating city of Zenith with a prize of 50 billion gold-Kai sees his chance to escape poverty and start a new life. The Trials are open to all, but they are perilous, designed to test the limits of human ability. For Kai, the stakes couldn't be higher.

Cities of gleaming spires and neon-lit corridors cling to these drifting continents, where the remnants of humanity thrive under a futuristic society shaped by science, ambition, and an unspoken fear of the past.
