"Survival of the Fittest." For the last hundred years, that’s been the harsh reality every Sylmorian has lived by. In a world where life itself depends on Aether, Sylmora is the only country running out of it. With supplies growing scarcer by the day, people have started turning on each other—fighting, even killing—just to survive a little longer. In the middle of all this chaos, a boy wakes up with no memory. He doesn’t know his name, where he came from, or how he ended up there. He’s completely lost—until the moment he nearly sees a helpless woman get killed for her Aether. Something in him shifts. His chest tightens with a kind of ache he can’t explain. It’s as if some part of him knows this isn't how things are supposed to be. He tries to ignore it at first. But the feeling won’t go away. Eventually, he makes a decision—he’s going to do something. He doesn’t know what he’ll find, or if he can even make a difference, but he has to try. Maybe along the way, he’ll uncover why he feels this pull in the first place. Maybe he’ll help Sylmora. Maybe he’ll just get answers about who he is. But deep down, he knows this journey won’t be easy. Because the truth might not just change Sylmora. It might change him. ___ What to expect from me: Weekly Chapters (eventually will release 2 a week at some point later on) Open transparency of my process of creating a story on my social media and on my website ___ The goal of this series is to become an animated series one day.

In the kingdom of Aetherholt, a dark prophecy casts a long shadow over the birth of twin princes, Kael and Alaric. When an ancient curse threatens infant Kael, King Aric makes a desperate, secret pact with the enigmatic Veil, saving his son but binding himself to a chilling, consuming power known as Veilfire. Years later, as corrupted Riven Lords emerge and Prince Kael mysteriously vanishes, the true horror awakens: the Echo, a cosmic entity of unmaking, begins to consume Aetherholt. Kael reappears, no longer himself, but a terrifying conduit for the Echo, unleashing its destructive power from within the castle walls. As King Aric descends into a cold, relentless Warden, battling the Echo with his agonizing Veilfire, Queen Seraphina races against time. Her desperate research uncovers not only Alaric's inherent, pure counter-aura, but also the forbidden Altar of Severance and its horrifying truth: a ritual to free Kael, but at "The Price"—a soul-rending cost that will forever fracture the twins. In a climactic, brutal confrontation, Aric makes the ultimate sacrifice, using his consumed essence to contain the Echo within the shattered Ley Lines of Aetherholt. The kingdom is saved, but at an unbearable cost: Aric is unmade, and Kael and Alaric are left as profoundly changed "shadow" and "light" fragments, their bond irrevocably fractured. Volume One plunges into a world where salvation demands unimaginable sacrifice, and peace is merely the quiet after the storm.

"Some shadows aren't cast by the sun... they are born from the people we love the most." Elara was supposed to be strong — the eldest, the example, the quiet protector of a house that never asked how she was doing. But the silence grew heavier during lockdown. Between online classes, suffocating expectations, and the pressure to never break, she forgot what it felt like to simply breathe. Mira, her younger sister, was the fire — wild, loud, and unwilling to play by anyone's rules. But when that fire was misunderstood, punished, and nearly taken away, it triggered a storm neither of them were ready for. As betrayal, loss, and rebellion rise in their home, two sisters are forced to confront a truth they’ve both been avoiding: that love alone isn’t always enough to save someone. Can two girls lost in their own shadows find the light before it's too late?

In a world where cities float above the earth and ancient beasts roam the land, truth has long since been buried beneath the clouds… Seventeen-year-old Aryan has lived his entire life in a cursed land city — a crumbling outpost surrounded by monsters with fangs like swords and demons with human faces. His mother, a low-tier Light wielder, died from a mysterious illness when he was seven. His father? Vanished in a classified government mission years earlier, investigating the very secrets the world refuses to speak of — the beasts, the demons… and the floating cities themselves. No one knows Aryan exists — not the ruling government, not the elite nobles who live high above in shining cities suspended 1000 feet in the sky, not even the assassin guilds and rebel warlords fighting for scraps of power on the surface. But Aryan is about to shatter their silence. Hidden within this fractured world lies a shattered ancient artifact — a mysterious cube once powerful enough to hold the balance between land, sky, and beyond. Split into four fragments, each held in secret corners of the world — from the heavenly Sky Government cities to the beast-infested wilds — its true purpose is unknown… but it calls to Aryan. As he journeys across deadly lands aboard flying warships, hunted by assassins, tracked by beasts, and haunted by fragments of his parents’ forgotten legacies, Aryan begins to uncover a terrifying truth: The cities were never meant to float... The beasts were never meant to exist... And he was never meant to survive. But fate doesn’t care what the world intended. Aryan is coming — and he’s not just looking for answers. He’s looking to break the sky open.
