What is Record of Ragnarok about?
Record of Ragnarok — Every one thousand years, the Council of Gods convenes in Valhalla to decide the fate of humanity. Deeming mankind irredeemable, the deities vote for total extinction—until the eldest Valkyrie, Brunhilde, invokes the ancient clause of Ragnarok.
Thirteen mortal champions—history’s greatest warlords, philosophers, and combatants—must face thirteen supreme deities from Norse, Greek, Hindu, and Shinto pantheons in one-on-one gladiatorial matches. Armed with Valkyries transformed into divine weapons, humanity fights for its right to survive.
