Growing up sometimes means growing away and that couldn't possibly be more the case for Youta Morikawa and his childhood best friend Mitora Fukaminato. With her having been a part of the track team going into their second year of high school and him... Not applying himself in any club whatsoever. The pair have spent less time together than ever before. While this may be a fact of life and reality, that doesn't mean he's particularly happy about it. So when an opportunity comes up that could bring back their relationship to what it once was, he's interested. But being a sports manager is far from what Youta believes his skillset to match and he'll end up working with athletes who have troubles of their own.

[System Notification] Congratulations! You have discovered the Trial Gate of Izanagi. Do you wish to enter and face the trial? Warning: This trial is dangerous and may result in death. [Yes] | [No] Seventeen-year-old Akira Kageyama barely had time to process the blue screen flashing before his eyes as he stared at the massive, ornate door that had inexplicably appeared in the middle of Ueno Park. Moments earlier, he had been rushing to school, his mind preoccupied with upcoming exams, but the sudden earthquake and the mysterious pillar of light shooting up into the sky had drawn him here. Around him, the park was eerily quiet, but in the distance, the world was far from peaceful. A store TV displayed a news report in its window, catching Akira’s eye as he passed by. The anchor’s voice was tense, describing the chaos gripping the planet: massive earthquakes in California, tsunamis swallowing entire coastlines, and hurricanes battering cities that had never seen a storm before. Akira’s gaze shifted back to the gate. He hesitated only briefly before pressing [Yes]. The door swung open, revealing a twisted landscape of shadow and mist. The oppressive atmosphere pressed down on him as he stepped forward, leaving the world he knew behind. The faint echo of Izanagi’s voice reverberated through his mind, a reminder of the god’s challenge and the deadly stakes. But Akira was not alone. Across the world, countless others were being drawn into similar trials—each gate linked to a different mythological figure, each trial a test of their will, strength, and cunning. The world was unraveling, and these trials were humanity’s last hope for survival—or its final undoing.

Set 1000 years before the prophesied end of Kaliyuga, humanity teeters on the brink of collapse. In a futuristic era where advanced technology rules, society has become a chaotic mix of digital immortality, artificial intelligence, and decaying morals. The world is divided between those living in virtual utopias and the impoverished masses, suffering in the wastelands of reality. The ancient prophecies of Kalki—the tenth and final avatar of Vishnu—have been reduced to myth in this age of machines, dismissed as superstition in a time ruled by logic and code. However, dark forces have awakened, spreading unrest and corruption, subtly pulling the world towards its inevitable end. Amidst the chaos, a group of mysterious sages begins to emerge, keeping alive the ancient teachings, and warning of the impending return of Kalki. At the heart of this prophecy is **Dhruvansh**, a name that signifies both "steadfast" like the pole star (Dhruv) and the inherited "shadow" (ansh) of humanity's darker side. As Dhruvansh uncovers his true identity, he must navigate a world of cybernetic gods, forgotten demons, and a technologically altered humanity, preparing for the ultimate battle between light and darkness. With the clock ticking towards the apocalypse, can he rise to become the savior foretold, or will Kaliyuga spiral into eternal darkness? The end of the world is just the beginning.
