Synopsis
Venlyra, a skeletal herald, awakens after 120 years to restore a crumbling empire that has abandoned its former glory.
120 years have passed since the First Emperor's death. Venlyra, a powerful rogue and trusted herald of the Emperor, awakens from a long slumber to a crumbling empire that has strayed from the light. Once more, the Skeleton Messenger makes the rounds, bound for a decaying throne, and for the embers of a self long thought extinguished within. Hear ye, hear ye! Hark, and heed the Emperor's words! The hour of reckoning is upon you! (Source: Webtoon Entertainment)
