As a result of a tragic accident, you fall into a magical abyss closed by time. After half a century in it, your soul dies, leaving your emotionless shell to pointless wander through the abyss. But fate still has plans for you. You meet a mysterious magician who grants you a Golden Soul and saves you from eternal oblivion. The real soul is your personality, your memories and emotions. The Golden Soul is a magical fake that allows you to extend your life, but you have no emotions, no blood, and no morals. Find out how you ended up on the edge of the abyss and how you are related to the magical cataclysm that is slowly consuming the world. The world is full of danger and adventure: move through the story, fight creatures of magic, monsters, fallen heroes and former friends. Solve puzzles and discover the past of the world, find powerful spells. Become a legend!
