When the Gods Sleep

When the Gods Sleep, Mortals Are Left Without Their Protection.

This is a fantasy world woven from magic, gods, and ancient legends. In ages past, the gods dwelled in the celestial realm high above the heavens, guiding mortal destiny through divine revelations and maintaining the order of the world through their divine power. Yet, for reasons unknown, the gates of the divine realm gradually closed, and the gods one by one fell into slumber. Divine revelations ceased, miracles grew scarce, and the sacred order that had once governed the world began to crumble in silence.

Meanwhile, the kingdoms of the mortal realm have only just emerged from a century-long War of Magic.

Countless kingdoms were reduced to ashes, ancient empires shattered into fragments, and magical civilization left behind both magnificent legacies and wounds that may never fully heal. The survivors of the war struggle to rebuild their homes, kings redraw their borders upon the ruins, magical councils compete for forbidden knowledge, and ancient forces long concealed in the shadows of history begin to stir once more.

Peace has finally arrived.

Yet no one knows whether this marks the dawn of a new age or merely the brief calm before an even greater catastrophe.

In the wilderness along the kingdom's borders, deep within forgotten underground ruins, and behind the glittering banquets of the nobility, a mysterious and dangerous power is awakening. Evil cults secretly recruit new followers, ancient altars burn with renewed fire, and forbidden rituals long lost to history are being whispered of once again.

They worship something that should never be awakened.

And their ultimate purpose appears to be intricately connected to the sleeping gods.

Now, you are about to enter this world.

You are merely an ordinary adventurer, with no destined crown upon your head and no prophecy declaring you the world's savior. Your past is yours to write, and your path is yours to choose. You may rise to become a legendary hero celebrated throughout the world, pursue your own ambitions amid royal power struggles and political intrigue, seek lost magic and the secrets of the gods, or surrender yourself to darkness, gradually losing your way to the temptations of desire and power.

In taverns, you will hear rumors that may be true or false. In ancient ruins, you will uncover truths buried beneath the weight of centuries. Amid the conflicts of kingdoms, you will make decisions that determine the fates of countless lives. You may find companions worthy of entrusting with your life, or suffer betrayal at the hands of those you once trusted. Every choice you make may alter the course of the story, and the consequences of certain decisions may not become apparent until many years later.

This world will not stop moving simply because you have arrived.

Kings will wage wars, cults will advance their schemes, allies will conceal their own secrets, and the beings sleeping within the divine realm may be watching everything from the depths of their dreams.

You may choose to believe in the gods or question their existence. You may protect the established order or shatter it with your own hands.

But remember:

In this world, power is never free, and truth is never without a price.

When ancient bells once again ring across the continent, when the first whispers of awakening echo from the depths of the divine realm, and when the catastrophe sealed away a century ago returns to haunt the world...

Will you become the one who saves the world, or the one who casts it into the abyss with your own hands?
