In a world burned and broken by the Sun Doom, survival is a language few remember how to speak. Johnny wakes in chains, haunted by echoes of another life — a world that no longer exists. Alongside his brothers-in-arms, Chaya, Steve, and Scott, he must rise from slavery under the brutal Red Stone and forge a rebellion that will one day become legend: the Black Star.

Guided by an old monk and driven by memories he can’t escape, Johnny learns to wield the power within his own spirit — a force once tied to the same machine that ended civilization. But freedom comes at a cost, and the past has a way of catching fire.

Before the hero, before the war — this is where it all began.
