Born In Abyss

A choice was given—one power, one path. Shadow or Flame. In that fleeting moment, he made his decision, never questioning what became of the path left untaken. He walks the world now, bound to the power he chose, facing trials that test the very fabric of his soul. Yet, a lingering dread follows him, an unshakable omen of something—someone—waiting at the end of his journey. When that moment comes, the truth is not what he imagined. The battle he feared is unlike any other, defying the very nature of fate itself. Because some choices are never truly left behind. Some echoes refuse to fade. And in the end, the greatest enemy he will ever face… is one he should have never met.

In a world ravaged by corruption and desolation, nine strangers from mysterious origins awaken in the heart of a black desert, with no memory of how they got there. Each carries extraordinary abilities, but also secrets that make them distrust one another. Forced to survive in a hostile environment where time and space are manipulated by dark forces, they must learn to work together—or perish.

The world has been rewritten. History erased. Only he remains—a forbidden fragment of the past. He awakens amidst the ruins, his name lost to oblivion. His only clue? A weathered stone inscription that whispers of an ancient crime: "The Ender of the Fifth Epoch… The Betrayer of the World." But he remembers nothing. Who is he? Why does his body bear a sigil pulsing with forgotten power? And why do the whispers of the past speak of him in both fear and reverence? As he wanders through shattered relics and fading echoes, the fragments of history paint a picture that defies logic. Some call him the savior. Others curse him as the destroyer. He sees visions that do not belong to him, hears the voices of the long-dead warning him: “You made a vow.” “You swore, no matter the cost… You must stop ‘It’.” But what is "It"? As the sky fractures and an ancient seal begins to break, he finally remembers the truth— —He was the world’s ‘Ender’… But he was also its last ‘Gatekeeper.’ —He had once given his life to seal away an unimaginable force. Now, he has been awakened. And so has "It." The end of an era has come once more. The gods remain silent, history lies in pieces, and the vow he made long ago is calling him back. This time, there is no escape.

Many things have changed, in the thousands of years of Stillera's history. Wars waged, countries razed, prosperity and destitution walking hand in hand throughout the centuries. But one thing that has remained a constant, are the Rifts. They harbor within them unfathomable horror, creatures that have flooded into the world of Stillera time and again. However, for the first time in a long time, Stillera seems to have reached an uneasy equilibrium with the terrors of the Rift, people with abilities that rival the monstrosities seeking to destroy them rising up to defend their home. But, in an unremarkable forest, in an unmarked lab, a creature has been born. Grown from the dark flesh of the Rift. And all it knows is hunger. After all, as those in Stillera have come to know... The Abyss has a tendency to stare back.

In the northern part of the world, a long-standing battle between various races and the demon race has finally reached its end. The Demon Lord, a figure with black hair, red eyes, rules from her obsidian palace, having repeatedly defeated the Goddess, the strongest being in the world. However, she refrains from killing her, knowing she will only be reborn to lead another attack. As the goddess kneels before her, badly injured and helpless, the sounds of explosions echo outside, signaling the imminent victory of the alliance. Despite her immense power, the demon lord acknowledges the demon's overall weakness compared to humans and the Alliance. The development of fighting energy and mana has allowed ordinary humans to fight demons, leading to the demon army's defeat. Aware of the Alliance's intent to enslave the abyssal demon, the Demon Lord decides to cast a forbidden spell that will cost her life. As the Alliance forces storm the palace, they hesitate upon sensing the spell's energy. The Demon Lord vows to resist and be reborn to save her people. Meanwhile, the goddess reflects on the demon lord's past treatment of her and acknowledges her respect and dedication to her people. As the demon lord prepares to cast the spell, the goddess asks if she can abandon her plan and live freely. However, demon lords are duty-bound to restore the demon race's glory and protect her people. Understanding the demon lord's resolve, the goddess readies her sword, intending to clash with the demo lord's forbidden spell. The resulting explosion creates a mushroom cloud, marking the end of the conflict and the start of a new era. The Demon Lord and the Goddess become historical figures, their stories occasionally told.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book!

When they tell you that history repeats itself, you should at least expect some details to change. But no, in our case, things went exactly as they did the first time: a crack in the sky, a couple of monsters a bit taller than usual, and a myriad of people who, for some reason, were surprised. Because who, honestly, wouldn't have bet on a good demon invasion every few hundred years? Although, to be fair, this time the causes are much clearer. Man always finds new ways to destroy himself. If the first time the solution came in the form of a shy librarian who unknowingly found the key to stopping the end of the world, this time it came in the form of a weak and hungry boy, who would have preferred to destroy it rather than save it. Let me ask you a question: who said that magic was reserved for muscular and dramatic warriors? No, my friends, true salvation, this time, doesn't come from paper, scrolls, and the patience of a genius, but from hunger, fear, and the will not to give up on your fate.

Hikaru Kageyama lived as a typical shrine apprentice, following customs and obligations—until he broke the seal of an old relic one night. In a flash, flames and disorder took over his life waking up Kagutsuchi, an evil fire god locked away for hundreds of years. Now, a cursed mark ties him to Kagutsuchi's unstable might pushing Hikaru into a secret realm where creatures born from people's fears—Manifestations—threaten to destroy everything. The mysterious Boundary Keepers bring Hikaru into their fold where he must figure out how to use his curse as both an attack and a defense. But as he goes deeper into this risky world, he starts to see that Kagutsuchi isn't just along for the ride in his body—the deity has its own agenda. As old feuds come back to life and Manifestations gain strength, Hikaru finds himself walking a tightrope between humanity and destruction. His fiery teacher, Takumi Arata, and his best friend, Kaito Sakamoto, stand by his side as Hikaru faces unrelenting foes tough decisions, and the constant murmur of Kagutsuchi's voice in his mind. As the boundary between hero and monster starts to fade, Hikaru must choose: will he harness Kagutsuchi's power to rescue the world—or will he be the one to set it aflame.

In the greater part of human kind there resides an instinct for survival. It is this which can clutch at straws and affect a rescue from them. It is this which can, now and then, outwit fate : Tanith Lee There are moments in life when you don't know what to do. Some of these moments can be good, like when a father holds his first newborn baby for the first time and realises he has no idea what to do. Or when somoene who has worked his entire life without stop finally retires and doesn't know what to do with his free time cause he's never had any. An then there's me, somoene about to have possibly the first of many so called "worst day of my life" as I stare at what is most likely a death sentence. You see for contexe, the world I am in is a little strange. Before you make any assumptions, this isn't an isekai where I get whisked off to some fantasy world to fixe some other peoples problems. At least not completely. The world I am in is strange in the fact that about 75 years ago, give or take one or two, a massive portion of the population vanished without a trace. Freaky I know, but not as freaky as when they came back and brought with them "magic". The laws of physics seemed useless and easy to ignore for these people. They could do incredible things. Flying through the air at unimaginable speeds, shooting fire from their fingers, moving mountains with their power. Even freezing time was within their reach. It was safe to say at this point that the world was going to change forever. Now listening to all this you'd probably say, wait Lucien isn't this awesome? Magic powers and all you have to do is dissapear for a while, isn't that a pretty good trade of? And normally you'd be right, but of the approximately 100 million who dissapeared, only 13 million came back. Not very good odds. Those that came back told stories of what they had to do. The trials they had to pass. Now this isn't some tower climbing story like you probably read in those webnovels. Every trial was unique to the person. Some where easy and some landed you in the 83 million that didn't come back. And naturally like any good fantasy story, the great dissapearance, as we came to call it, didn't happen just once. And so my story begins here, in the middle of the road, 75 years after the first great disappearance, staring into dead space. I would guess that the people who saw me would find me weird, after all I was staring at nothing. But I couldn't be bothered with them right now, and the reason was that I was indeed staring at something. Something that would change my fate forever. [Congratulations challenger] [You have been selected for the trial] [You will be transported in 30 seconds] ... Fuck. Author : this novel does have a system but it's not a leveling system, so if that's what you're looking for, this might not be for you.
