On the planet Nevera, power does not belong to governments.

It belongs to one family.

The Piao family has shaped the world for generations, guarding the World Tree, a living archive of knowledge so vast it has guided the rise of modern civilization itself.

But control comes at a cost.

As global pressure mounts to access the Tree, old alliances fracture, hidden agendas surface, and a carefully maintained balance begins to collapse.

For the first time in history, the Piao family is no longer untouchable.

At the center of it all stands Angela Piao.

Brilliant, reclusive, and deliberately removed from power, she was never meant to stand at the heart of a political war.

But as the world around her begins to turn, allies shifting, trust eroding, and the very people her family once protected becoming threats, everything she once held stable starts to break apart.

The decision falls to her.

Not because she wants it.
Because no one else can.

Beyond the family’s influence, figures like Kael Everwyn move in the shadows, carrying motives that threaten to expose truths the world was never meant to see.

And as the line between truth and manipulation begins to blur, one reality becomes clear:

This was never just a debate.

It was a staged battlefield.

To understand what must be protected…
Angela will be forced to look into the past.

Because the truth behind the World Tree was never meant to be found.

You see the guy at the very back? In Camera 5, the one we only see the back of his head and there's a small projector floating behind him?


That's his projector. He's the one who won.


He's the one from that variety survival show. He pushed actress Sydney during a challenge, and she got a concussion and had to be hospitalized.


[User: RuleFollower]That show was literally called Survival of the Fittest. It was a competition show. Rough play was allowed.


[User: DramaArchive]Yeah, but a lot of people got injured because of him.


[User: RuleFollower]That's still within the rules though…


Wait… why are so many comments getting deleted? What's going on?


Yeah, I just saw like three messages disappear??

Nah, they're serious. People have disappeared off here before.


Just don't say anything wild and you'll be fine.


It was just a question (┬┬﹏┬┬)


Wait a second.... Why does Camera 5 have more recording time than the others?


Because Marcus started streaming way earlier. His personal camera was already live before the pickup.


His pickup time was 10:00, but he started streaming around 8:00 while getting ready. He said he didn't want to be late and didn't even have time to eat.
