The multiversal fracture has torn the Olympian Pantheon from their realm. Gods, stripped of their worship, now walk among mortals — forgotten, bitter, and untethered from their purpose. Hercules, once the champion of Olympus, awakens in New Alexandria, a city built in the ruins of collapsed timelines. He is bruised, amnesiac, and chained in a fighting pit, forced to battle other former “myths” for the amusement of those who no longer believe in gods — only power. Freed by a mysterious figure — a woman named Miriam, who claims to be a descendant of Orpheus — Hercules begins a journey across the ruins of forgotten realms and broken dimensions, trying to find what remains of Olympus and understand whether the gods should rise again… or stay buried. But something is hunting the old gods. A presence calling itself Oblivion, a shadow of anti-belief, moving to erase all remaining traces of divine legacy.
