Arthur Novak remembers the exact moment the sky shattered and the roots of the World Tree, Yggdrasil, pierced the earth, draining humanity's magic and memories. In this overgrown, dangerous new world, Arthur survives by a single rule: trust nothing but the numbers. Gifted with the unique 'Root-Weaver System,' he can see the flow of life force, calculate precise tactical probabilities, and graft the stolen magic of fallen monsters onto his own soul. Yet, his calculation is his curse. Haunted by the day his analytical paralysis cost his sister her life, Arthur is obsessed with absolute control, refusing to let emotion dictate his path. But when a dormant root beneath the ruins of his home awakens, demanding his blood, Arthur must embark on a perilous trek across shifting wildlands. If he fails to reach the Heartwood in time, the roots will consume his mind, erasing his very identity. To survive, he must calculate his way through gods and beasts alike.
