The story takes place in a land headed for destruction. Humans mainly occupy the land accompanied by lizardfolk and beastfolk. In this world, each group speaks in its own language about the Maker, in which nobody can confirm its existence, or know its truth. All that is known is that the Maker resides deep underground.

\\n\\n

People gather at the capitol to embark on a journey to discover more about the Maker. During their travels, they uncover myths unspoken and delve deeper and further to discover the truth. They have a long and deep road ahead. Are they headed for light or nothingness (Zero)...?
