A fictional story that includes the western and eastern history, only to be told has a fictional history, bound by the fate of this story. In a world without a name, where gods rise and fall with the faith of mortals, an unseen force watches from afar. Once, the divine Architect shaped existence, but now, He walks among men in silence, leaving creation to govern itself. Without His guiding hand, nations wage war, gods plot in the heavens, and mortals struggle against forces beyond their understanding. As ancient dragons awaken from the depths—some seeking peace, others craving destruction—the balance of power is shaken. The gods, bound by their own laws, send forth champions to defend their dominions, while Yggdrasil, the World Tree, stands resolute against the coming storm. Yet in the absence of the Architect, the cycle of fate begins anew, and the world teeters on the edge of chaos. Though He rests, His return is inevitable, for absence was never the plan.

To prepare, humanity was granted access to Elysium, a realm of magic, monsters, and ancient power. Through the Soulweave System, humans could grow stronger, their abilities transferring between worlds. But death in Elysium was absolute, and the struggle for survival was merciless. Now, with only 150 years remaining, Earth has fractured into a dystopia ruled by factions that control access to Elysium’s resources. The Nightspires lead brutal expeditions, the Dawnbuilders refine Aether to sustain Earth, and the Bridgers maintain a delicate balance between the two realms. Meanwhile, the rogue faction known as The Unbound seeks to force the apocalypse forward, wielding forbidden magic to accelerate the collapse of reality itself. Elias Varian, a chemist and alchemist, has spent his life studying Aether, bridging the logic of science with the chaos of magic. But when an experiment with Void energy mutates him, he loses the ability to return to Earth through sleep—physically stranded in Elysium with a body unraveling under an unknown affliction.

At the heart of this dark tapestry lies Narzan, a nation feared and despised, where cruelty is law and ambition a deadly game. The lands of mortals are but a fragile sanctuary, bordered by forbidden realms—the infernal Demon Realm, where nightmares are born; the accursed Lost Soul Realm, where the damned wander endlessly; and the enigmatic Elven Kingdom, shrouded in secrets and ancient power. These realms whisper of horrors and treasures that could reshape the very fabric of existence. Above it all looms the Weave of Magic, an ancient force that binds life, death, and destiny. It stirs ominously, its threads tangling with shadows of betrayal, vengeance, and destruction. In this world where the strong devour the weak, hope is a fleeting illusion, and mercy is a tale for the foolish. Veythor is a man cursed by the fates, his existence a relentless cycle of suffering. Across three lives, he has endured betrayal, torment, and death. On Earth, he was a man broken by those he trusted—betrayed by family, ruined by love, and condemned to die in despair. In his second life, he met an even crueler fate, falling prey to monsters in human form. But Thalvoria, his third life, is the cruelest of all. A vast and merciless world, Thalvoria is ruled by beings of unimaginable power. Here, mages can sunder mountains with a thought, empires rise and fall in rivers of blood, and forgotten gods slumber beneath the earth. Mythical beasts stalk cursed forests, and the lands themselves seem to hunger for suffering. In Thalvoria, even the heavens cast shadows, and every choice is a gamble with damnation. Yet Veythor, battered and scarred, refuses to succumb. Haunted by memories of his past lives, he begins to weave his pain into something more dangerous. Every betrayal fuels his resolve, every scar sharpens his will. As the balance of power begins to shift and the Weave of Magic tightens its grip on the world, Veythor sets his sights on a singular goal: to seize control of his cursed destiny, no matter the cost. But in a land where salvation and damnation are two sides of the same coin, what will remain of a man who refuses to die? When the world itself hungers for blood, Veythor will rise—or he will drag all of Thalvoria into the abyss with him.

Excerpt: Drogen's expression softened as he stared down at her lips, a rare glimpse of raw desire shining in his eyes. "You know," he began, his voice dropping to a whisper, "I've been desperately wanting to do this since you hugged me." Before she could protest, his lips claimed hers, soft but insistent, catching her completely off guard. Her breath hitched as his tongue teased hers, coaxing a response. She froze for a moment, her heart racing wildly, but as his warmth enveloped her, she gave in, kissing him back. Her hesitation melted away as his touch deepened, slow and gentle, yet ignited sparks through her whole being. His hands found her waist, pulling her closer until there was no space left between them. She gasped softly when she felt his bulge pressed hard against her, her cheeks heating in response. He didn't seem to care—if anything, it turned him on even more. His grip tightened as though he couldn't get enough of her, his kisses growing bolder, more demanding, yet still carrying an undeniable tenderness. Her fingers gripped his shirt for balance, holding on as the intensity of his touch left her breathless. He kissed her like he was savoring her, like every second mattered, and it sent a thrill through her. Every brush of his lips, every press of his body against hers, made her forget where she was. All she could feel was him. Finally, he pulled back, their foreheads resting together as they tried to catch their breath. His voice was low and rough, full of longing. "You're driving me crazy, Nat." Her lips were still tingling from his kisses as she met his gaze, her own voice trembling but steady. "Then don't stop." His dark eyes blazed with desire, and a faint smile touched his lips. "You don't know what you're asking for," he murmured, his hand slipping lower, his touch firm yet careful, as if she might disappear if he wasn't careful. "Maybe I do," she whispered, a small smile playing on her lips despite the way her heart pounded in her chest. Something in his expression softened, but the hunger in his eyes remained. She had undone him completely, and for once, he didn't want to fight it. Whatever this was, he wasn't letting go, and neither was she.

Long before civilizations took root and mortals tread the planes of existence, there was a world where beasts reigned supreme—a realm in turmoil. At the apex of this wild hierarchy stood the dragons, beings of immense majesty, boundless intellect, and unmatched magical might. In the heart of this ancient age, a young dragon—barely a century old, an adolescent by his kind’s standards—embarks on a journey to find his place in a world where survival is the only law. Blessed with the rare ability to wield the Ancient Dragon Tongue—the first magic, and the foundation for all that would follow—this young dragon must navigate a turbulent society fraught with rivalries and alliances among his own kin. Beyond the dragons, greater threats loom: the Gods, beings of pure energy who embody the soul, and the Titans, colossal entities of mind and matter, vast as the planets themselves. As these three forces collide, the delicate balance of their existence is pushed to its breaking point, sparking conflicts that threaten to consume everything. Through centuries of trials, battles, and revelations, the young dragon rises from an unsure hatchling to a unifying figure among his kind. Yet, with influence comes peril. As his magic grows, so too does the attention of ancient forces that see him as either a threat to extinguish or a weapon to wield. The arrival of fragile, untested mortals on the scene forces a critical choice: to nurture humanity’s burgeoning potential for magic, guiding them as allies, or to protect the secrets of the Ancient Dragon Tongue, keeping its power sacred to dragons alone. Draconis Genesis: The Dawn of Magic is a sweeping saga spanning eons, an exploration of power, legacy, and the ties that bind. It weaves a tale of dragons, Gods, and Titans locked in an epic struggle that births the very essence of magic itself. In a world where beasts dominate the land, celestial entities rule the heavens, and Titans define reality, one dragon’s decisions will shape the destiny of creation.
