In the year 2030, a cluster of astral diamonds came to earth from the depths of the universe and gave all life on earth elemental spirit power manipulation. But this great gift cost the human race everything they had built so far. Fifty-one years later, Dante Saint will attempt to rebuild a fallen rebellion his parents had formed seventeen years ago. The hellfire rebellion was formed to overthrow a powerful force lord of the world's richest city-7-Nations. This city is the last city of pure humans and the city that controls the world's resources. With the last of his family and a fiery storm of elemental power, Dante will try to bring equality to the world, but the death of his parents and the Hellfire Clan weigh heavy on his heart. Dante must look deep within and use the power of elemental ascension to do the impossible. Ascension-the art of mastering mind, body, and spirit by absorbing new levels of elemental power; an awakened one can unlock the power of the higher mind and walk the earth as the highest potential. Will Dante do it? Story told by Karma's Dream...

Vidarian finds himself at the intersection not only of the world's most volatile elements, but of the ancient and alien powers that lurk between them...
