Ephemeral Ascension

In a world shrouded in mystery and teeming with supernatural forces, a phenomenon known as the "Awakening" has begun to unfold. Individuals, seemingly ordinary at first glance, discover dormant powers awakening within them. Among them is Leon Hartfeld, an unassuming college student with a knack for blending into the background.

One fateful day, Leon stumbles upon an ancient artifact hidden within the depths of his university library. The artifact, known as the "Eclipsed Sigil," grants him extraordinary abilities, turning him into a "Catalyst." As a Catalyst, Leon can harness the essence of celestial energy to enhance his strength, agility, and perception.

Unbeknownst to Leon, his awakening triggers the attention of ancient beings known as the "Umbral Elders." These enigmatic entities, guardians of the cosmic balance, have observed the world for eons. Sensing the potential disruption caused by the newfound Catalysts, the Umbral Elders send their emissary, Selene, to guide and observe Leon's journey.

As Leon grapples with his newfound powers, a clandestine organization called "Luminar" emerges. Luminar seeks to exploit the Catalysts for their own gain, believing that harnessing the Eclipsed Sigils will grant them dominion over the supernatural forces lurking in the shadows.

Leon, guided by Selene, must navigate the treacherous path between dark conspiracies and the responsibilities bestowed upon him as a Catalyst. Along the way, he encounters other awakened individuals, forming a diverse group known as the "Luminary Order." Together, they strive to uncover the secrets behind the Eclipsed Sigils, protect the world from impending darkness, and ultimately ascend to heights beyond mortal comprehension.
