In a fractured world ruled by lies and silence, a young explorer stumbles upon a forgotten crypt — and with it, the truth about a once-beloved king betrayed, annihilated, and erased from memory. Now resurrected as an undead judge cloaked in bone and silence, the Purple King does not seek conquest, but remembrance. As war brews between corrupted cities and the legion of the dead, one question haunts the living: can truth bring salvation, or will it unmake what remains of hope?

SYNOPSIS

For centuries, the people of Virellum have lived under a dome of light , a magical barrier shielding them from the cursed world beyond. They believe the dead are mindless, the outside world uninhabitable, and their rulers the last beacon of order. But it’s all a lie.

Verian Altros, a young explorer raised in the shadows of surveillance and control, discovers a forbidden book , the forgotten history of the Purple King, once a benevolent mage-king betrayed by nobles hungry for power. Framed, exiled, and destroyed by a weapon fueled by mass sacrifice, his name was erased, his legacy buried under propaganda.

But the dead remember.

Venturing beyond the dome, Verian finds what the city denied: the King lives on, reborn as an immortal liche. The skeletons are not monsters , they are the silenced victims of history, cursed to remain conscious. And now, they march not for conquest, but for justice.

As Verian uncovers the truth, he faces a crushing dilemma: expose the lies and betray the only home , and family , he's ever known, or stay silent and let the past remain buried. His own brothers serve in the army that will soon face the King. His decision could ignite a war , or heal a broken world.

The city’s leaders respond with violence. Armies clash. But the King does not seek blood , he seeks judgment. Reading the souls of the living, he spares the worthy and leaves the rest with a message:

"Remember what you buried."

Now, the world must face its own lies , or fall beneath their weight.
