Every ending births a beginning…But humanity’s beginning has reached its end.The heavens burn. The seas boil. Angels descend, and demons rise — the world itself becomes a battlefield for YMIR’S HOLY WAR, the final prophecy that will erase mankind from existence.In the ruins stands AIDEN — not a chosen one, not a savior, just a man who refuses to kneel.When fate itself offers him one miracle — a single wish strong enough to rewrite destiny — he makes the only choice left to a dying world.But miracles have a price.And the gods never lose.Hunted by Heaven, pursued by Hell, Aiden walks a path no mortal was meant to tread — toward the heart of creation, where even time must bow.This is not a story of salvation.It’s a story of rebellion — against prophecy, against gods, against the cruel loop of life and death itself.The apocalypse isn’t coming.It already began the day Aiden made his wish.

Alden's about to meet it.
