The world's mana is deeply corrupted.

The archmages who held the balance have met their end.

And in a lonely, forgotten dungeon, a simple beast receives a Title - for being the eldest creature left alive.

The title comes with sapience, the knowledge of a thinking creature. It comes with a desire to learn and grow that can only be met by venturing into the world beyond. And so Grae Mangefur sets out on his adventure, seeking the reason why.

Why the world ended.

Why magic has gone wrong.

Why the Elder Powers are dead.
