Blessed by Night

In 2033, a transformative event occurred: beings from every mythology—gods, monsters, devils, and angels—began bestowing powers upon chosen individuals they deemed worthy. These empowered humans, known as the Blessed, became the world's most celebrated figures after the emergence of mysterious gates. Entering these gates became the most coveted profession, with the Blessed now holding immense influence, even leading nations. These individuals are characterized by their exceptional power, beauty, and charisma. Despite five years of this phenomenon, the criteria for being chosen remain unknown. While the selection appears somewhat arbitrary, only one percent of humanity ultimately becomes Blessed, gaining the extraordinary privilege of entering the gates and defending the world. Amidst the widespread fascination with the Blessed, a fundamental question has been overlooked: the ultimate purpose behind these celestial blessings and what the higher beings expect in return.
