Esterio: The Unmaker
Esterio Caelan’s a visionary, a tech savant forging a device to hurl humanity into a perfect dawn. His mind’s a furnace of brilliance, his invention a heartbeat from revolution. But there’s a shadow in the static—a voice not his own, clawing at the edges of his sanity. The world’s warping fast: spires of bone and light stab the sky, runes pulse like wounds in the dark, and the air hums with menace.
Something’s stirring. Something older than gods, sealed beyond the stars when angels still sang and demons bowed. Esterio’s creation isn’t salvation—it’s a lockpick for a cage that’s held since creation’s first scream. His allies see glory, deaf to the cracks splitting the earth, blind to the wings and horns flickering in the haze. He sees it now: every circuit he solders isn’t a step forward—it’s a drumbeat summoning a war between heaven, hell, and something worse.
Gods whisper promises, angels sharpen their blades, demons lick the shadows—and Esterio’s the fulcrum. One spark left. He could crown humanity’s future—or crack reality wide open for a reign that predates light itself.
Time’s bleeding out, and the choice is his.
