Decades had gone by since Makutu — an otherworldly entity — flipped the world upside down.
A greater evil, one that had never been seen before, was meant to unify humanity towards a common goal, not divide it even further.
Arlo just wanted a simple life. To him, that meant eating good food and sleeping comfortably, but thanks to Makutu, that simple request had become extremely difficult. Food had gotten scarce, and unfortunately, he didn’t live in a great palace. Stale bread was his best friend.
Complete the trial, and powers were bestowed upon you. That’s what Makutu promised to humanity. But, Arlo wanted nothing to do with it, he was already struggling enough swallowing dry bread every day, a trial that could result in death wasn’t in his books.
So when the eleven moons rose and the sky turned blood‑red, Arlo’s world fractured. Suddenly haunted by Makutu, he entered the trial with everything on the line: success promised power, failure meant becoming a mindless monster. Outcast and afraid, he’s desperate enough to survive — but as he journeys inward, he discovers the trial isn’t just about what he becomes… it’s about who set it in motion — and what they’ll do to stop him.
Power? Death? Which will claim him?
