Vesper Evren lived a quiet, ordinary life on Earth trying to be his best self—80 years of fleeting moments, laughter, kindness, dreams and sorrow. Then, on the day his heart stopped, he opened his eyes to a boundless sea of stars… and to the woman who he knows as his mother. 

She tells him the truth—Earth, his life, his memories—all of it was a false reality. A sandbox world created for her only son to learn, to grow, and to understand humanity before inheriting his true purpose.

Now awaken as the Immortal Empyrean, Vesper travels through countless realms—worlds where gods are born and civilizations rise and die, where time flows like a dream and existence bends to will. Yet amidst endless stars and eternal duty, he finds himself asking a simple, human question:

What does it mean to truly live… when you are no longer mortal?
