Runes are the source of all power in the world, but for Ignotus, they were a death sentence.

A mercenary, assassin, and leader of the desperate, he'd spent more than ten years running from a Fate forged by sheer, abysmal luck.

But when the hunt finally ended, the unhinged Stranger did the impossible:

He traded his life to maim the realm's three absolute rulers, leaving scars that even the Gods couldn't heal.

Infuriated by the humiliation, Hora, the Queen of Time, cast an ancient spell to reverse the clock and erase his final strike. 

...But her arrogance became his salvation.

Ignotus regressed to the day of his Ascension, the very day he received his first Rune.

He was back to where he was known as the worst of lowlifes. A manufactured reputation designed to bully him into oblivion by his own flesh and blood.

To the old Ignotus, it was the end of the world. To the current him? It was a joke he no longer had the patience to hear.

This time, he wouldn't play by their rules. 

While others begged for Primary Elements like Fire or Water, he chose what the realm deemed the weakest of all, knowing its true, terrifying potential.

Armed with a set of Irregular Soul Glyphs and knowledge of the realm's war-ridden future, Ignotus was done running.

He'd leave the family that abandoned him to forge a new Path—one that would lead the House he built into the Heavens, all to rewrite his Fated ending!

But...

Ding!

That would've been too easy.

The hunt had resumed... an unending game of cat and mouse.

Unfortunately for his hunters, however, in this new life, the prey wasn't alone. 

Ignotus had accidentally brought a Goddess to the slaughter~.

This Colosseum Trial was a free-for-all in a sense, or at least Ignotus saw it as one. Which meant that he wasn't thinking of helping his people like last time, something that everyone knew or at least predicted.


So when they finally met on the day of the Trial...


In the Colosseum's arena, under the crowd's screams... 


Many were cheering him on, while many others cursed his name...


Lykos, Ulv, Mer, and Aur held serious faces.


They all faced Ignotus, who swaggered in with Gaia on his arm, looking relaxed as ever. 


Noticing them first, Ulv crowed, clapping the shoulder of his Lord.


Mer danced up and latched onto Ignotus's arm like she always did.


"And since when were you two an item?!"


Gaia quickly pulled Mer away from Ignotus and bopped her on the head with the flat of her staff.
