Awakening of Calamity
The barrier that protected the Earth was broken.
Arcane energy invaded the planet, bringing chaos. Amidst the chaos, new continents emerged and the landscape changed. The world as we knew it changed, death and despair plagued everyone. Billions perished, and humanity began to live under the shadow of a new god.
But deep within the Earth, at its core, something immemorial was awakening. An inert and unknown being, whose power caused the arcane energy itself to cease to exist when it approached.
A seed of darkness, small but hungry, began to absorb the worst feelings accumulated over millennia: fear, hatred, pain, and destruction.
And then, the seed chose an heir.
In the bowels of the skeleton of a dead woman, abandoned in a muddy abyss, a boy came into the world. Gaemo, the one who should not have been born.
Sentenced to public execution the moment he was found shortly after his birth, the boy faced death without tears. But a second before the blade pierced his neck, he disappeared, leaving only the memory of the bloody mark that appeared on his forehead in everyone's minds. A mark that would haunt all existence.
Now, the cursed boy wanders the planet, rejected and hunted by those who fear his power. Amidst the chaos of a distorted planet, Gaemo seeks to survive and understand the purpose of his existence.
This is my first time writing, and English is not my first language. If I make any mistakes, please let me know! I'll try to post one chapter a day. Depending on how things go, I might increase that, since I'm really enjoying writing this story. (The image for this novel was created by AI.)
