Midnight brings the Blood Meridian, tearing the sky open and unleashing the System upon the quiet county of Ironvale. For militiaman Orodan, the apocalypse arrives not as a heroic calling, but as an impossible slaughter. A horde of twisted chimera floods the gates, followed by a colossal Ember Tyrant-a dragon that burns his world, and him, to ash.

But Orodan wakes up. Unscarred. Back in his barracks on the dawn before the end.

Trapped in a lethal time loop, Orodan realizes that while the world resets, his stats, skills, and hard-earned combat mastery remain. Every agonizing death yields experience. Every scorched bone breeds fire resistance. He cannot run from the apocalypse, nor outlast it-but he can learn its rhythm. With each reset, Orodan steps closer to the dragon's maw, trading his life for the power to change fate.
