Premise


Many gods, including Thor, will not survive the Ragnarök. Before Thor's death, he orders his son Magni to hide his weapon, the hammer Mjölnir, until there is someone right to inherit it. Magni goes to the world of mortals to wait for the new taker of Mjölnir. There he meets Victor Magtanggol, the one who must eventually learn to use Mjölnir to protect the world and his loved ones from Móði, Thor's son and Magni's brother, who is upset for not inheriting Mjölnir, and Loki who plans to spread chaos in the mortal world.
