However, his reality is shattered when he learns that the universe is beginning to crack apart due to a secret organization.

The Chronicles of Blood and Time Series

The multiverse has collapsed and from its ashes a new universe, Zetalon, is born. However, five factions who worshipped the primordial gods of old and reject the new gods are all vying for control over the new universe. The old factions remain distracted while the new gods and their followers must contend with the cracks that are appearing in the fabric of space across their universe. Join the Chronicles of Blood and Time to see which faction reigns supreme and to see if something much more dire is occurring in Zetalon.
