One day, Ella learns of the strange death of her college professor and beloved mentor, who seems to have committed suicide by starving to death. Instinct draws Ella to investigate the real cause of the professor’s death, which gradually unfolds a series of mysterious incidents which surpass Ella’s wildest imagination. As she investigates further, Ella encounters people who slowly guide her closer to the truth, which causes alternate forces to try and stop her pursuit. With help, Ella overcomes all odds, and in the process discovers she must fulfill her destiny and decide the fate of humanity, Earth…and the universe.

A fragile peace between two kingdoms, undone by betrayal. The sinister Zhehe people twisted the minds of Aye-Shan City’s nobles, corrupting their hearts and thereby weakening the Guardian Beast—the city’s last line of defense.
