Nyx is a sky traveler who lost his people in an Abyss-related cataclysm, wandering from city to city to learn more about the origin and manipulation of dark energy.
This is how the emperor of the Celestial people welcomed him, with the idea of instilling hope in his people and maintaining his influence. As Nyx slowly came closer to the truth, the ruler designated him as the next sacrifice. He found himself wandering, consumed more and more by the Abyss until he was nothing but a soul.
After many decades he will meet Fay, shattering the perspectives of the bitterly lonely man...
