The year is 2364 and a teenager approached a broken down robot in a field. The debris of a spaceship lay scattered around the area, barely recognizable as a ship. The teen knelt down and pressed the big "power on" button on the robot. The vintage T.V. began powering up...
"Hello?"
A humanoid sat on the ruins of an abandoned building. Moss and plants engulfed the stone walls, returning it back to nature. What this building once was, no one modern could know. A duo approached, one waving to the person with a pipe-like arm. The other looked like they would rather be anywhere else. Despite this, the three left together.
Now a team of unlikely heroes: a child of a multimillion-dollar cooperation C.E.O., turned acclaimed assassin, an old assistance droid with a stolen soul, and a misplaced child from a magical mossy world. The three, forced to work together by an otherworldly deity, will try to stop a universal leader with a villainous agenda and a god complex. How the trio will cope? I guess we'll find out.

While chasing a creature that's killing young girls, Nyx gets mixed up with Erebus Salem, an undead hunter on a mission to return home but with no memory of who he is. But other beings are lurking in the shadows. They know the truth about Erebus and Nyx. They know that the pair are the Relics, the only two powerful beings in the world capable of taking down the greatest evils known to any kind. Soon, Nyx and Erebus become the hunted, and must try and escape the evil plans of the war lord, Bellum. Can Nyx and Erebus master their newfound powers, and even if they do, can they survive?
