Six thousand years later, in 2898 AD, the world has turned into a harsh dystopia, ruled through fear by a self-proclaimed god known as Supreme Yaskin.

As hope begins to fade, a new light emerges in the form of an unborn child in SUM-80, also known as Sumati. With Yaskin and his followers determined to extract the child’s life force, an epic story unfolds, setting the stage for the rest of the saga.
