The Crown of Broken Stars
The abominations roar with fury, their very existence spreading fear and madness to the weak and the unfortunate. The auroras, graceful and breathtaking, stand as the last sanctuary, shielding those lost and seeking refuge.
In this world, no being save the abominations possesses a body naturally capable of wielding magic. To harness its power, one must choose from dangerous awakenings that irrevocably change their essence. For the privileged few, there is the invention of regalia miraculous artifacts that grant the ability to wield magic without the peril, though at an exorbitant price.
Among the rarest gifts is to be chosen by an Arcane Mark, the blessings and curses of fate itself. Kaelum is one such chosen, bearing the Mark of the Chariot. It grants him unparalleled resilience and the ability to push forward no matter the odds. But every step forward exacts a toll: a torrent of pain far beyond what any mortal should endure.
Now, in an era where the old and new, the future and the past, collide, Kaelum begins his journey. Through trials and suffering, he will uncover the true value of this world and everything within it.
