In the Mortal Realm, mortals from powerful bloodlines saved their lands whenever chaos erupted, aided by the Gods. Tales of heroes from ancient times were passed down to each generation, never to be forgotten. Centuries later, darkness rose, plaguing all six worlds in the Realm. Creatures of darkness consumed the Realm, mysteriously strengthening by the decade. Even with the advancements in technology and magic, nations succumbed.

Descendants of past heroes banded together, forming a coalition trained to eliminate threats. They became symbols of hope, known as Agents and were trained from a young age. Hailing from a family tree of extraordinary ancestors rises Skye, a young heroine cursed with great, but terrifying power. She and her team of super-powered teenagers are tasked with uncovering the mysteries behind the Realm’s demise.

Armed with supernatural powers and legendary weapons, our heroes can only hope their fates won’t face inevitable doom in their pursuit of saving the Realm. They must hone their skills and abilities as they move up the ranks, simultaneously searching their world for answers.
