Sudden Gleam

Nobody's perfect. We all have flaws. We all carry the weight of what makes us human—unrealized potential, fleeting ambition, procrastination, or settling for a life of mediocrity. For most, it’s just part of living. For Alexander Hawthorne, it was all he knew. Born into privilege in the gleaming city of Kaelion, Xander had every advantage: wealth, status, a name that commanded respect. But beneath the surface, he drifted—unmotivated, uncertain, and haunted by the sudden loss of his mother. The fire within him had dimmed, leaving only the shadow of what he could become. Until that day. The day he stumbled upon a secret his family kept buried for generations. A mantle of power, a destiny so heavy it could break any unworthy soul. The path to becoming a Sovereign—was not given, it was earned. And it was guarded by unimaginable trials, enemies wearing familiar faces, and truths that could shatter everything Xander thought he knew about his family and himself. To rise, he must shed the man he was and embrace the warrior he’s meant to be. Because in a multiverse on the brink of chaos, where legacies are forged or destroyed, failure is not an option. But is he ready to claim the mantle… or will he be the Hawthorne that lets it all crumble? Come along on this journey with me and see for yourself.

The World is a dull place. Life is dull. Death is dull. The mind is dull, the soul is dull, the body is dull, and even God itself is dull. But then something gained sapient will, and now it’s spreading, infecting all life, turning the world a bit brighter. At first, it was subtle an unnatural gleam in the eyes of those who had long since stopped dreaming, a flicker of awareness in creatures that should have been mindless. People began to sense something, a growing awareness gnawing at the edges of their consciousness, urging them to look beyond the veil of dullness. The colors of the world, long forgotten, began to deepen, pulsating with a strange, alien energy. But this brightness isn’t the beauty of life; it’s a corruption, a mutation. The sapient will isn’t a gift, but an infection, twisting the minds it touches. Those it consumes no longer see the world as it is they see it as something malleable, something to be remade in its image. And the price of this enlightenment is madness. Those who have been fully infected no longer resemble their former selves. Their bodies twist and contort, growing strange appendages or unnatural features as they rampage and increase the ‘Brightness’
