Waxy Skin Before Death

Before the First Breath.

Before breath. Before name. Before flesh. In the primordial sea where consciousness stirs before birth, two unborn souls drift through a dreamscape of forgotten gods, ancient truths, and shapeless teachings. Hector and Victoria are not yet children. Not yet anything. But in this realm outside of time, they awaken — and learn. Guided by beings long erased from memory, they explore a world woven from thought itself — the Web of Consciousness, where every being’s magic is born and defined. From gods of grief and forgotten desire to elemental truths etched into silence, each encounter grants Hector and Victoria power, wisdom, and mystery. They are not told who they will become — only that the thread they weave is different. But they are not alone. Far across the mortal world, an empress makes a pact with an angel, bearing a child shaped by divine law. In the decaying lands of demons, a king’s hatred invites an angel of rebellion to bear another child, one destined for destruction. And in secret, two archangels violate sacred edict and conceive a third soul — a child born of balance, to stand between salvation and ruin. This child is Hector. As Hector and Victoria grow closer in the formless void, sharing dreams, pain, and a haunting hum they vow never to forget, their bond deepens. But their birth into the physical world looms, and with it, the unraveling of everything they’ve come to understand. Three children. Three origins. One world that cannot hold them all.

Beyond the Skin of the World

Sudden reappearance of Mytharok - a world cloaked in mystery and ancient claims - disrupts everything. The so-called guardians of cosmic balance emerge from obscurity, speaking of dangers beyond comprehension and trials resembling the beginning of recorded history. The chartered worlds need to brace themselves for the future. Caught in the current of the events are two reluctant figures. Fengyu, the disillusioned younger brother of a ruler, floats above it all with cultivated indifference. He claims to want nothing - no power, no purpose - but beneath his nonchalance lies a restless question: is his detachment freedom, or merely fear? He finds himself, against his will, 'sent' to the Temple of Mytharok, but really just wants to go home. Mokai, raised to be flawless and invisible, begins to crack under the weight of others’ expectations. Trained to serve, never to desire, he now is faced with choices that require more than perfection - they demand honesty. But everything and everyone around him seems to have their own private hidden agenda. As their world collides with an alien one, they are drawn into the long fogotten history of the First Gates and the mystery of Firme. They must confront the open secrets long ignored, the forces that shaped the very structure of the universe. In that shifting landscape, nothing remains as it was - not the world, not the balance of power, and certainly not who they believed themselves to be. For the greatest collision may not be between worlds - but between who they were, and who they are becoming. And that is only the beginning...
