In a world where the gods once blessed humanity with sacred gifts-time manipulation, reincarnation, and immortality-mortals betrayed their creators. Corrupted by greed, they turned these blessings into tools of defiance, rewriting history and cheating death itself. These heretics, now known as Desecrators, broke the divine order.
To restore balance, the gods convened in their sacred hall and forged a being from their collective power. His name is Rael, a hunting dog bound by divine will. Created to hunt and destroy Desecrators, Rael wields the wrath of the gods themselves. But divine power is not without cost. Born of their rage and arrogance, Rael is fractured, limited to wielding only one power at a time.
He is immortal, but not alive. Blessed, but forever cursed. Rael is tasked with an eternal hunt, a servant to masters he cannot betray. Yet as he walks the war-torn world of mortals, encountering Desecrators who live freely despite their crimes, he begins to question:
Is he truly their judge... or their pawn?
