Synopsis
In the digitally charged, superpowered realm of Khthonia, where ancient forces slumber beneath a veneer of progress, chaos finds its unlikely vessel: Adonis, a troubled half-breed teenager haunted by a shadowed past. When a long-buried power awakens within him, Adonis becomes the spark that threatens to unravel Khthonia’s precarious balance of power. Guided by Ashburn, a relentless mentor with secrets of his own, and Elara, a mysterious ally with ties to the underbelly of Khthonia’s elite, Adonis embarks on a perilous journey to master his abilities and uncover the truth behind his family’s fractured legacy. But as rival factions vie for dominance and whispers of rebellion spread, Adonis discovers that the chaos within him is more than a curse—it’s a key to Khthonia’s future. As alliances shatter and enemies close in, he must decide: Will he fight to protect a world that fears him, or will he embrace the chaos and remake Khthonia in his image? The fate of an entire realm hinges on one choice—and Adonis is running out of time.

Chapter 1 - Adonis

Outer City right behind the wall erected to protect the human population.

In a certain wooden house loved a family of three. A man in his late 40s, his wife, a woman in her early 30s, and his son a 17 or 18-year-old boy were all having dinner laughing with one another when suddenly a human figure busted through the roof landing on the ground.

He wore armour which had a cape to signify that his a guard but not one of the human guards. "It is time for your execution Alexander and Sylvia Meteus, you are to follow your own will or I take you to the execution ground by force," the guard said in a serious and dangerous tone

The man and his wife sighed before turning to the guard "Give us some time alone and we will come with you" Alexander said and the guard nodded as sadness flashed through his eyes as he we out of the house.

The 18-year-old boy who had shown no reaction and had been silent throughout the whole event turned to face his father, his eyes were like unfathomable clouds and his iris were milky white which helped show the difference between them and his cornea.

"I know you have plenty of questions going on in your head right now," Alexander said forcing a smile "I have no questions," the family son said showing no emotions "Sylvia is that a good thing or a bad thing" Alex asked his wife confused "It's a bad thing I think, I'm not even sure anymore" Sylvia said "I thought he would learn human emotions by staying with the humans" Alex said "Your race isn't lacking emotions Alex" Sylvia said

"Can you say what you have to say quickly cause you are keeping someone waiting outside?" the son said "Right, listen son. I come from a place far away from this planet and where I come from is a place you can't go to right now since you haven't awakened your powers which is late even for our race but if you ever awaken your powers and become influential here on this planet come find my planet" Alex said

"First, I have no reason to look for your planet and also I already have my powers," the son said "Well that's good, just take care of yourself but remember one thing as from today henceforth your name is just Adonis no surname nothing just Adonis, do you understand," Alex said seriously "Whatever," Adonis said and his mother turned to him "Take this to the Necron family gate in the core city and tell them it was given to you by Sylvia Lynn who told you to come to find Ashburn and remember that you should never say I'm your mother okay," Sylvia said giving Adonis a Crest.

"I understand but I think you both should get going now before he loses it," Adonis said pointing upwards "Ensure you bear with the training you will receive and also the person you will meet already knows we are your parents so no need to hide it from him and Don't miss us too much okay" Sylvia said to Adonis and he just nodded"We have to go now Sylvia" Alex said and he held his wife before he flew up.

In the clouds

Adonis parents were talking with the guard

"You know I can't leave without his blood on my hands right, the supreme will know I left him alive," the guard said "We already made the perfect plan for that but he didn't inherit our racial powers," Alexander said "Are you sure about that cause he is surely healing in his own right now," the guard said "What do you mean by that," Sylvia said before looking downwards "Alex his our son stabbing himself or it the wind in my eyes that's making me see things," Sylvia said and Alex looked downwards and his eyes widened in surprise "I believe his awakening our abilities but it's happening slowly, too slow to be exact at this rate your I wouldn't be able to stall your execution long enough for him to completely awaken his powers," the guard said frustrated

"We don't want him to save us Morris, we only want him to live a happy life," Sylvia said looking downwards again "We need to stop him from stabbing himself Alex," Sylvia said with a frown "No need to be worried Sylvia, he doesn't feel pain and the knife isn't even penetrating his skin anymore," Alex said "I don't think your son is much of a survivor Alex, it looks to me that he wants to die," Morris said "Humph, no son of Meteus isn't a survivor," Alex said snorting.

"You said you had a plan right," Morris said "Follow me," Alex said flying into the distance with his wife.

At the house

{Adonis POV}

I watched as my parents left and I started feeling a lot of heat, it wasn't long before blue flames with flickering lightning came out of my body as all other things apart from my clothes were burnt. I slowly tried to get the flames back into my body but I kept failing but I didn't fail for long either. Soon I had condensed the flames and thunder into my body and I felt my whole body steaming hot. I am quite certain that a drop of my blood can make a hole through any metal.

My whole body was like a furnace constantly producing very hot flames just since I condensed it into my body my flames were not as hot a they first appeared but due to the liquid-like flames and lightning that had replaced my blood, I could now produce flames and lightning at will while having all my physical abilities enhanced.

I picked up my leather jacket and the crest which both surprisingly didn't burn and I slowly matched towards the core city. Based on the speed of the hover train I will be taking, it will take me at least 3 months to get to the core city so I decided to use my time in the hover train to get familiar with my powers as I needed to constantly condense the flames and lightning produced by my body.
