Sixty years ago, humanity was forced to retreat behind massive walls, clinging to survival in a broken world where the old rules no longer mattered. Although anyone can become an "Awakener," Axel only dreams of taking his sister out of the slums and living a peaceful life within the safety of the walls. But the moment Axel climbed over that wall, everything he knew about his life was thrown into chaos. Why? It’s simple. He killed someone... and awakened. There’s always been an invisible hand in this world—pulling strings, rewriting fate. In his journey to grow stronger, he didn’t just gain power—he found love, forged unbreakable bonds, and uncovered the truth behind his father’s mysterious disappearance. But the deeper he digs, the more twisted the world becomes. By day, he's an admired awakener—respected, even envied. By night, he walks a darker path—breaking the rules, peeling back the lies, and unraveling secrets buried for generations. And always, she's there in the shadows—his silent guardian, his only constant. But when the veil is torn, his secret is out by the invisible hand. Will he join those who rule from the dark? Or will he rise against them—and shatter everything? To survive, he’ll need to be ruthless.
