Calamities

Aetherborne: The Archivus Legacy

The world forgot. Aether did not. Gaia once pulsed with life and memory. In the old age, spirits whispered back, Aether flowed like breath, and humanity walked hand-in-hand with the unseen. But that age faded. The ancient songs were drowned by sirens and static. Legends were buried beneath headlines. Tomes became tabs, and relics were traded for screens. Until the Calamity came. Five waves struck the world—each deadlier than the last. Cities fell silent. Nations collapsed. And amid the chaos, only one force was prepared: Gaia Financial Corporation. Led by four enigmatic founders, they unveiled the Unsealer—a machine not of war, but of memory. A device designed to awaken what humanity had forgotten… the truth about Aether. The Archivus family—distinguished by their silver hair—are common among Aether users gifted with space-warping abilities. Categorized as Walkers, they possess a legacy rooted deep in blood and myth. At the heart of their power lies the Codex Nexus—a manifestation of Aether shaped into a floating grimoire. It stores weapons, marks locations for teleportation, and perhaps... holds secrets even Ryuji has yet to uncover. Who knows where its limits lie? Ryuji Archivus never asked for a legacy. He is the grandson of Genzo Archivus, one of the Nine First Unsealed—once hailed as The General. Now retired and Self-preserved by reality, Genzo trains Ryuji in secret, alongside his guardian Freya Eisenberg. But this training isn’t about reviving a bloodline… it’s about survival Ryuji doesn’t dream of saving the world, leading revolutions, or becoming a symbol. Unless there’s something in it for him, he’d rather nap through history. Lazy by nature, yet fiercely competitive when provoked, Ryuji walks the fine line between genius and sloth.. Yet to the outside world, he’s just a slacker. Bullied. Underestimated. Dismissed. Only two people know the truth: Genzo, the man who shapes him in silence, and Freya, his quiet shield and watchful protector. But the world is changing. Calamities rise not just from monsters, but from men. Now, whispers of a Sixth and Seventh Calamity echo across the continent. And while Genzo turns his gaze toward self-preservation, Ryuji stands at a crossroads: continue hiding, or rise to meet a destiny etched in blood, memory, and legacy. Because the Archivus name was never chosen. It was Aetherborne.

The Seventh Calamity: I am the True Villain!

For eons, the world had endured 6 different resets—known as 'Calamities'. Each calamity introduced a completely new power system while eradicating the previous one as if it never existed in the first place. ***** In the modern world, a virtual reality game — 'The Seven Calamities' took over the world with its release. With its intricate and complex worlds that followed a variety of power systems, became a common ground for the whole world. Kai Evernox was a 17-year-old orphan who struggled to make his living through the ways of Scavenger in the game. He, just like any other player, awaited the next and the final update of the game—The Seventh Calamity. Just a night before the update, a mysterious old man who claimed to be the creator of the game called in a press conference. "All that you thought as a mere fantasy, all of it was true. The Seventh Calamity will be the End. And the only one who can stop it from happening is you, my friend." With that said, the old man perished away into particles of light, leaving the world stunned as system windows popped up in front of all human lives. The world fell into havoc, while a grin crept onto Kai's face as his memories returned. Now the question begs to be answered... Which path will the Primordial Villain—The Survivor Of 6 Worlds—choose? *** it's not a VRMMO or Litrpg story. just that the start of it somewhat resonates with those genres. *** Discord => https://discord.gg/mGW9hveJBj
