Set in the newly formed world of Arignar—created from the collision of nine realms after Ragnarok (the clash of gods and giants)—the story follows the journey of Ragin, a human boy who lost his parents in a tragic cliff accident and was raised by a dwarven couple in the kingdom of Uthanor. In the year 5378 A.N.G. (After New Gods), Ragin and his best friend Willian return from the mountains to find Ragin’s home in flames. The dwarves, mistrustful of Ragin due to his human heritage, accuse him of causing the disaster. Along the way, he discovers long-lost ancient weapons and unravels deep secrets about his true identity and destiny. "Arignar: Wrath of Extinct" masterfully blends myth and legend, taking readers on an unforgettable adventure through a world where past and present collide. Join Ragin as he battles mythical creatures, navigates treacherous alliances, and discovers the hero within.
