GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

In the vibrant, untamed world of Aetheria, humans and Beasts share an intricate bond, their lives interwoven through the mystical energy of Aether Cores and Crystals. Beasts thrive in diverse ecosystems—serene grasslands, dense jungles, stormy highlands—drawing power from their surroundings, while humans harness Aether's elemental force through advanced runic technology and emotional connections with their Beast companions. Yet, this delicate harmony teeters on the brink of collapse, as whispers of ancient conflicts and a resurgence of corrupted Aether energy threaten to disrupt the balance. Eighteen-year-old Kael, a determined explorer with an innate empathy for Beasts, embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind his father’s mysterious disappearance. A renowned researcher, Kael's father vanished while investigating ancient ruins shrouded in mystery. Armed with his father’s journal, maps crafted by his cartographer mother, and the unwavering support of his loyal Beast Flarion (fire), Kael ventures into the uncharted wilds of Aetheria, determined to solve the mysteries of the past. Kael’s journey leads him to new companions: Lyra, an analytical and compassionate researcher devoted to preserving Aetheria's ecosystems, and Dax, a bold and competitive Beast tamer eager to prove himself worthy of his family’s legendary legacy. Together, the trio faces breathtaking challenges, from encountering rival tamers who seek to exploit Aether for personal gain to navigating a fractured world where Beasts and humans alike suffer from the effects of corrupted Aether energy. As they explore the ruins of a forgotten civilization, Kael and his team uncover a startling truth: an enigmatic figure from Aetheria's history is harnessing corrupted Aether energy to resurrect the devastation of an ancient war. To counter this growing threat, the group must strengthen their bonds with their Beasts, master the delicate art of resonance, and unlock hidden evolutionary paths powered by trust and emotional synergy. Guided by Aria, a skilled strategist with a wealth of knowledge about Aetheria's intricate ecosystems and Beasts, the group learns to confront the world’s challenges head-on. But Aria harbors a secret of her own—one that could alter the group's dynamic forever. In a race against time, Kael, Lyra, and Dax must forge unshakable bonds, uncover the mysteries of the past, and find the strength to stand against the rising tide of corruption. As the final battle looms, one question echoes through their journey: will unity and resilience be enough to restore balance to Aetheria, or will the resurgence of darkness unravel everything they hold dear?

In 2179, Earth is unrecognizable. After a global outbreak in 2019 killed 10% of humanity and triggered spontaneous supernatural abilities, the Great Expansion (2077) reshaped the planet: landmasses grew tenfold, new moons appeared, and mythical races emerged. The World Peace Accords (2103) forged a fragile truce between gods, demons, sentient races, and empowered humans. Ikaros, a Coffeshop worker in Zurich, receives a letter to the Hephaestus Institute, where he discovers he possesses two rare powers: Energy Manipulation and Runic Philology. His abilities make him a target for The Ascendancy—human extremists seeking to purge the powerless and overthrow divine rule—and The Supremacy, zealots enforcing godly dominion. As Ikaros uncovers the truth behind the history that birthed humanity’s powers, he must navigate a war where survival hinges on mastering his gifts… or becoming a pawn in someone else’s game.

Ruin hunters are people who delve into the deeps, people who explore forbidden magic and ancient artifacts that had been left behind after the great calamity over 900 years ago. The strange phenomenon caused the world of Elvendoria as we know it to change and grow along side us, creating domains out of thin air that would be deemed as hazardous to villagers. My whole life I wanted to be like a certain Ruin hunter, the one who saved everyone from the Calamity all those years ago, Gerard. A hero who pointed his swords to the heavens as he finally faced off against the demon king. "'My body may be battered and broken! It may be filled with scars from battle, but I wear them with pride knowing that no matter what happens I'll never have a scar on my back! For I always face my foes!" His words of bravery echoed into the future, and a young elf took the mantles of his soul and his courage, a kid that would sprint head first into the future, shouting his god given name to the heavens as soon to be known, Kaluar, the tinkerer of legends. This is my story, on how I became a Ruin hunter.

Gawkers Academy was supposed to be a small academy. Runic Archaeology was supposed to be an insignificant course. My life was going to be ordinary. I was so very wrong! Why is everyone so interested in me? I just want to be average. **** Dean was mostly wrong. He was smarter than he thought he was. More careless than he would admit. But what he lacked, he made up for with clueless charm. His parents were amused - he wanted to be average but got admission to the most challenging class with the toughest requirements. How could he be so smart and so clueless at the same time? His professors were stunned - he was a savant. His ideas ingenious. But why did his expectations for himself have to be so far off? And his friends. They were almost as off balance. **** Vikari. Nashi. Faery. So many runes. One big adventure. **** {{ Temporarily paused. }}

Do you believe in magic? I’m sure many do but for me, I don’t. Why? Because I’m a living proof of science itself! My brain could compute as fast as a supercomputer of the olden past. You could literally say that I’m the ultimate creation of humanity in the field of Bio-engineering! So, how could I believe in something so nonsensical as magic?! Heck, we even did some experiments on those so-called runic spells of the Almighty Ancients, all proud to tell the world of how much of a lie all these ‘magick’ are. But… I think it’s not much of a lie. Ever since I got transported in this damnable forest, my rationality about the world was slowly twisting in a very weird path. Also, the one thing I’m 100% sure, this place isn’t Earth. My name is Noah Breech, 14 years old and I don’t mind to brag but… I’m pretty sure I have the greatest mind of this world.

A cultivator dies from an explosion during an experiment, his soul reincarnates in a world of magic and swords instead of ki.
