Corebreaker
Isaac Vellum was once hailed as a genius — a visionary mind destined to change the world. But betrayal, loss, and relentless misfortune stripped him of everything. At thirty-five, abandoned by the world he once sought to elevate, Isaac dies anonymously... saving a child in an act of final defiance.
But death isn't the end.
He awakens — not in the afterlife — but in a futuristic world where humanity draws power from Ki Cores, crystalline organs that grow in strength and color across ten fabled tiers. The strongest known human has only reached the Seventh Core... yet Isaac is born with a core unlike anything recorded in history — clear, pulsing, limitless.
Reincarnated as a newborn named Caelum, he retains his memories, intelligence, and emotional scars. Raised in a powerful but loving family, with an energetic older sister and a mother who sees greatness in his eyes, Caelum begins a second life — and a second journey.
As he grows, so does his core — evolving rapidly, breaking natural laws, and drawing attention from forces both noble and dangerous. In a world governed by strength, legacy, and fear of the unknown, Caelum must decide:
Will he live quietly, hidden in the shadow of giants?
Or will he rise — not just to reach the Tenth Core — but to surpass it?
From a shattered soul rises a force the world is unprepared for.
This time, he's not chasing legacy...
He's becoming it.
