Aren transmigrates into the body of a dying boy at the very moment the God Trials begin—an event that determines whether a world survives or is erased.

Every youth between fifteen and twenty-five awakens a power, as the new generation that will enter the Trials. If the challengers die or fail, the entire world is wiped out.

When Aren awakens, he gains an ability never seen before: Shadow—the power to devour foes, summon their shadows, steal their memories, and command an endless army born from darkness.

In the very first Trial, he consumes a monster carrying a memory shard that reveals the hidden truth behind the God Trials… and why Aren’s existence in this world is a cosmic mistake.

The gods want him erased.

But Aren has already begun to consume their secrets.
