Gilphas Eldragon, the founding patriarch of the Eldragon family, dedicated his entire life to the pursuit of absolute strength. In search of eternal combat, he consumed a legendary fruit rumored to grant immortality under the protection of the divine dragon. Yet the rumor was false—Gilphas aged, and in the end, passed away in his son’s arms. Or so it seemed. When he next opened his eyes, Gilphas found himself reborn a thousand years later as Zeke Eldragon, heir to his own bloodline. But the world had changed: the Eldragon clan now thrived under a ruthless creed of survival of the fittest, and a new threat known as the “Chaos” loomed over humanity. Faced with an unfamiliar era and even greater enemies, the ancient warrior feels only exhilaration. For Gilphas—now Zeke—this is the chance he longed for: “This time, I will witness the true end of martial strength!”

The battle to save a world that doesn't yet realize it's doomed.
