A Grey Soul

Kael Morrin, a determined yet struggling archaeologist, stumbles upon a mysterious glowing shard during an excavation. In an instant, he is transported to the magical and perilous world of Aetherion—a realm where the sky is fractured, and the elemental continents teeter on the edge of ruin. Each region suffers from catastrophic instability: volcanic eruptions, endless storms, and crumbling civilizations. Aetherion’s survival depends on a long-lost relic shattered into shards, said to be the key to restoring balance. Thrown into this broken world, Kael joins forces with Rhea, a fierce warrior from the Water Continent, and Aren, a cunning rogue mage from the Air Continent. Together, they embark on a treacherous quest to retrieve the shards scattered across the elemental lands. Along the way, Kael learns about Aetherion’s tragic history, its people’s suffering, and the tyrant Kaelith, whose ambition once plunged the world into chaos. As Kael gathers the shards, memories of Kaelith begin to resurface—memories that are his own. He realizes with mounting dread that he is the reincarnation of Kaelith, the very man responsible for shattering Aetherion’s sky. The shards are not just relics; they are fragments of Kael’s own fractured soul, broken during Kaelith’s fall from grace. To heal Aetherion, Kael must confront the shadow of his former self, who tempts him with the promise of ultimate power and a second chance to rule. As the weight of his past threatens to consume him, Kael must make an unthinkable choice. Reuniting the shards will mend the sky and save Aetherion, but it will cost Kael his memories, identity, and any chance at redemption in the eyes of the people he is trying to save. Faced with the ultimate test, Kael embarks on a journey of self-discovery, redemption, and sacrifice. In the end, he must decide whether to embrace his past mistakes or let them go entirely to give Aetherion the hope of a future. Will he succumb to the darkness of Kaelith’s legacy, or will he rise above and become the hero this fractured world so desperately needs?

I found that there were many things I wished they explored or genres that had more entries in them. So instead of waiting for them to be made, I decided to do it myself and free my trapped creativity. I hope you enjoy it. This is currently being written in the free time I have beside a job with a tricky schedule. I am trying to keep to a schedule of doing 4 - 5 chapters a week at minimum but will do more if i can. To make up for it I will try making the chapters between 1200 - 1400 words on average, to give you a little more to read, again sometimes even more. I hope one day I will be able to work on this more and deliver more chapters and future novels. Warnings for graphic descriptions of death and injury. There will be bloodshed. You have been warned.

Grey stood by his office window, overlooking the city, a sense of despair washing over him. "I can't believe it. Maybe I'm not meant to be loved," he muttered to himself. He recalled the words, "Grey, I'll be back for you," uttered just days after his divorce from his treacherous wife, Christina. The betrayal had shattered his heart, turning his once passionate love life into a cold, calculated pursuit of success. He had sworn to never fall in love again, his heart hardening with each passing day. All he had ever wanted was a genuine, committed relationship, but Christina's ruthless attempt to seize his wealth had crushed that dream. A year later, he had achieved his success, becoming a renowned businessman, but his heart remained broken. Just when he thought all hope was lost, a new woman entered his life. Carmen, the new secretary at Grey Telecommunications Inc., brought a ray of light into his darkened world. Drawn to her warmth and kindness, Grey found himself falling deeper and deeper in love. Their love deepened, culminating in a Valentine's Day proposal in Paris, which Carmen accepted. They returned to Los Angeles, planning to announce their engagement a few weeks later. Grey returned to his business, only to discover that $500 million had been stolen from his bank account. His fiancée had also vanished. The pieces slowly fell into place. Grey realized he had been tricked again. Fueled by anger and betrayal, Grey hired a team of military-trained detectives to track Carmen thinking she was the exact cause of his financial loss. He vowed to destroy the innocent Carmen, who had nothing to do with his financial loss, Grey left everything behind, his heart consumed by a burning desire for revenge. This was no longer just a love story; it had become a dangerous pursuit of justice. _____________________ Ps I own all characters in this novel and all scenes are all my own

This is my first work I wrote this novel after reading a lot light novels and take inspiration from paragon of sin.

In the shadowy realm of magic and destiny, there exists a tale that defies all conventional understanding - the story of Aeburt, a young man once branded as the most worthless, most idiotic individual in the magical world. What can a soul truly purchase when bartered to a demon? Is it: Breathtaking beauty? Raw, unbridled power? Immeasurable wealth? Absolute dominion? Or something far more complex and mysterious? Imagine a world where a single soul trade could transform the very fabric of existence. Aeburt, once considered utterly talentless, makes a pact that would shake the foundations of reality itself. Miraculously, the most extraordinary beings begin to gravitate towards him: A mesmerizing Medusa Queen, whose gaze could petrify entire armies The continent's most infamous first traitor A dark genius of magic whose very name made kingdoms tremble These legendary figures - each powerful beyond mortal comprehension - inexplicably find themselves drawn into the orbit of this once-dismissed "waste" of a human. The question burns like wildfire: Can such a person still be called a "waste"? This is not merely a story of revenge or power. It is an epic of transformation, of a nobody ascending to become the ultimate somebody. A tale that challenges everything humanity believes about potential, destiny, and the true price of ambition. When Aeburt sold his soul, he didn't just acquire power - he unleashed a force that would rewrite the very laws of magic and fate. The Soul Trade begins. A legend is born. The world will never be the same.

"The Soul of Heaven" is a long and descriptive novel, macabre scenes and epic battles, that spans between past and future, exploring the light and darkness, delving into the intricate complexity of the human soul, and pondering the timeless significance of existence. *We recommend reading the story in English for a better understanding.*
