In a world where powers are known as Gifts, one’s Gift determines their place in society. Most Gifts manipulate fire, steel, beasts, or elements. A select few can alter reality itself. Among them all, one Gift reigns supreme. Born into the Imperial Bloodline, the Emperor awakened the legendary Gift of Time and Space Distortion. His authority was unquestioned, for his power allowed him to bend space at will, reverse time on anything he touched, glimpse countless futures, and crush entire armies beneath the weight of his overwhelming Gift. It was this unparalleled power that secured his place upon the throne and united the continent beneath a single empire. Yet even the strongest Gift had one cruel limitation. It could never be used upon its owner. Though time obeyed his every command, his own body remained untouched by its influence. He could not heal his own wounds by rewinding them, nor could he return his own life to youth. His Gift granted him dominion over time but denied him immortality. And so, while the world praised him as an invincible ruler, the Emperor spent years searching in secret for the only Gift believed capable of overcoming death itself. A forbidden Gift capable of restoring burnt forests from ashes, repairing shattered relics, reviving severed flesh, and under the right circumstances, returning even the dead to life. Its owner had vanished years ago. To ordinary people, the Gift was nothing more than an ancient fairy tale. To the rulers of the world, it was the greatest secret ever concealed. Only the most powerful people knew the truth—that somewhere in the world lived a man who had inherited the Gift of Revival. Countless nations searched for him in silence, hoping to claim his power before anyone else could. None succeeded. For years, he lived hidden beneath a false identity, moving from place to place before anyone could discover him. Cunning, and impossible to intimidate, he trusted no kingdom and bowed to no throne. He understood better than anyone that revealing his Gift would make him a prisoner for the rest of his life. Then…he made one mistake. A noble executed months earlier was seen alive once more. The Emperor’s intelligence network traced the impossible miracle to an isolated mountain village erased from every map. The Emperor dispatched the Empire’s most elite division with a single command. ”Bring him back alive.” The mission proved far more difficult than expected. Although his Gift was not suited for battle, the man escaped every trap laid before him. He misled elite soldiers through forests and mocked every attempt to corner him. For days he remained beyond their grasp. Only after the Imperial Guard sealed every escape route with powerful Gift users was he finally captured. Escorted to the Imperial Palace in chains, he entered the throne room and found the most powerful man alive. A man capable of bending time and space itself. Emperor looked upon the only person who could grant him what his own Gift never could, immortality.

Note: In this world a gift can be passed temporarily to another person through a kiss wether forced or not for one hour each day, this depends on who starts the kiss
