What Is The Fractured World In Demon Souls

When Kael is cast into the forsaken realm of Vhyrra, a land ruled by ancient systems and dark entities, he discovers he has been chosen—or cursed—by an enigmatic system that promises power at a steep cost. As Kael battles his way through hostile terrains, treacherous factions, and his own growing doubts, he begins to unravel the secrets of the system and the shadowy forces manipulating his fate. Alongside an eclectic group of allies—a sharp-tongued rogue, a fallen priestess, and a sentient relic—Kael must rise against overwhelming odds. But in a world where every choice has consequences and trust is a dangerous luxury, Kael's determination to protect those he cares for may lead him down paths darker than he ever imagined. In a climactic battle between chaos and order, Kael faces his greatest challenge—not only the monstrous adversaries that seek to destroy Vhyrra but also the question of what he is willing to sacrifice to save it. As his humanity slips away, Kael must decide if power is worth losing himself or if redemption lies in defying the system itself.

The world is falling, creating dungeons and monsters starting to appear on earth, a noble child who is of continuous descent, and hides his identity from his friends at school, he has to endure it all alone, to prepare for the Eternal Great Light in the next battle.

The world's top-notch killer had just completed a brilliant mission and was planning to take it easy and play some games. However, while he was playing, he felt that something was completely wrong! This game was way too realistic! It was only after falling off a cliff that he belatedly realized what had happened. What kind of game was this? He had actually traveled through time! He was about to die right after arriving here. What was the point of that? Was it to make sure he didn't die thoroughly and had to go through it all over again? When he opened his eyes again, all his injuries were healed. After carefully recalling the memories of the original owner, he discovered that this was a technologically advanced future world! He had transformed from a killer into the eldest son of the mayor of Calais City. Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. Anyway, he was tired of the days filled with fighting and killing. Here comes the life of a rich second-generation heir! He had originally wanted to live a carefree and leisurely life in retirement. However, trouble soon came knocking at his door. Why was it that the original owner could live a carefree life as a young master for over a decade, while he had to be forced to risk his life as soon as he arrived? Could things get any worse! Looking at the powerful particle cannon pointed at his forehead, what could a little killer like him do? A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. He could only swallow his pride for the time being! Wasn't it just an adventure? He loved adventures the most. But the direction this world was taking was getting weirder and weirder! It was okay if there was ancient martial arts, but how come there were also monsters and demons? What happened to the promised future world! How could it be so unscientific? So, is the end of science just metaphysics? I just wanted to enjoy a peaceful retirement life. Do you have to force me like this? Alright, alright, do you have to play it this way? Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being a sly operator! Let's see how Reed Brooks, a modern killer, experiences a fantasy journey in the future world.

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I’m Morning Star LL! Meet again, huh! Along with "This Game is Too Real" another novel titled "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" has been released. Still one "player + isekai" combination. This time, however, the isekai is a completely fantastical world detached from reality, the legendary realm of swords and magic. The primary motivation behind writing this book was to address the regrets left from "This Game is Too Real" Although I endeavored to incorporate as much of my intended message and the creative ideas that emerged during the writing process, I had to give up many ideas due to length constraints. Thus, I thought why not start from scratch and write about a game set against the backdrop of a fantasy world, shifting the focus more on the original inhabitants of the isekai rather than the players from Earth, to see if it could generate more interesting interactions. Like "This Game is Too Real", "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" primarily features a light-hearted and humorous style. Without the burden of a serious overarching background, the overall tone is somewhat more cheerful than "This Game is Too Real". I'll leave the rest of the content for you all to discover within the book! I hope that you will enjoy my work! Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— Succubus Reporter: "Respected Lord Demon King, I remember the Demon God ordered you to spread panic among our enemies, but how come I've heard that you bought an entire street in the enemy's city center?" Luo Yan: "Foolish! Don't you understand tactical relocation? If I buy up the humans' city, won't the humans have to move into my underground city to live?" Succubus Reporter: "However, I heard that when the humans learned even the Demon King was buying property in the Holy City, not only did it fail to cause panic, but it also doubled the property prices in the Holy City." Luo Yan said smugly. "This precisely proves that my plan is correct!" Meanwhile, in the underground city, the skeletal miners (players) were making a fuss. "Get the game designer out here!" "What happened to promised divine pets, divine equipment, nurturing, achievements, the marketplace, junior female fellow practitioners, senior female fellow practitioners... the system, huh?" "Is this game really just about mining?!"

Fractured Paths In a fractured world ruled by Prismatic Energy, powerful factions vie for control of ancient ruins known as Convergence Points—sources of untamed energy capable of reshaping the very fabric of existence. Amid the chaos, two young warriors, Elara Myris and Oran Daris, struggle to survive as their faction crumbles under the relentless assault of the Crimson Veil, a ruthless group led by the enigmatic and dangerous Lucius Malvernis. Elara, a resourceful but inexperienced wielder of a subtle energy disruption ability, and Oran, a brash fighter who commands threads of energy to manipulate his environment, are forced to flee into the unknown. Their path is shaped by the legendary figures Lyra and Kael—a pair of masterful warriors whose precision and ingenuity have made them myths in their own right. Lyra, with her unparalleled control of projectile trajectories, and Kael, a tactician who can swap positions with objects and later souls, become reluctant mentors to the struggling duo. As they journey across dangerous landscapes—from the shadowy marshes of Nytheria to the volcanic wastelands of Valoria—the young warriors uncover a deadly truth: the Convergence Points are more than energy sources. They are remnants of a forgotten era, tied to the destruction of the ancient world, and Lucius seeks to harness their power to create a devastating weapon. To stop him, Elara and Oran must grow into the warriors they aspire to be, learning not only from the skills of Lyra and Kael but also from their own failures. But in a world where strength often comes at the cost of humanity, the line between survival and sacrifice blurs. With every Convergence Point they destroy, the stakes rise—and so does the price they must pay. “Fractured Paths” is a dark, character-driven fantasy about resilience, growth, and the bonds forged in the crucible of conflict. In a world where power corrupts and legends cast long shadows, it asks: what does it truly mean to be strong?

Fractured Soul --- I was just five years old when they took me—stolen from everything I knew and thrown into a nightmare I couldn’t escape. For years, I was locked away in The Underground, where survival meant enduring horrors no child should ever face. But I survived. I didn’t break. And then, finally, I was rescued. Now, I’m thrown into the world above—a world I don’t understand. I’ve known magic exists, I’ve seen monsters, and I’ve fought them everyday of my life. Physically and mentally. But the Fae? That’s a whole different thing. I never knew about them, and now they’re everywhere and I'm one of them? They have their own rules, their own powers, and suddenly, I’m stuck in the middle of it all, trying to make sense of something I was never prepared for. I don’t know how to act around these people. They talk like they know things I don’t, and I feel out of place in this new world—like I don’t belong. And my naivety? Yeah, it’s there. I didn’t grow up with the world outside The Underground. I’ve spent my life surviving, not learning how to live. Everything is so different, and it’s terrifying. Every day, I’m bombarded with new information, new magic, new people—people with powers I don’t understand and a history I wasn’t taught. But there’s something else. Something deeper. I'm struggling with finding my place, and yet everything I do keeps pointing out that I might be the one in some resurfaced ancient prophecy. Now, I'm trying to avoid the rulers of the courts and their schemes–especially Eirlys, the King of the Winter Court. As I try to learn how to survive here, I’m also trying to figure out who I’m supposed to be in a world that seems to have its own agenda for me. The truth is, I’m not just scared of what I don’t understand—I’m scared of what I might become. There are people who fear me, others who want to use me, and a bloodline that could drag me back to the darkness I barely escaped. In Fractured Soul, I have to fight for my place in this new world. I’ll have to navigate my own ignorance, face the power inside me, and decide who I really am. But when the shadows of my past come calling, will I have the strength to stand, or will they pull me back into the dark? ---
