Ephemeral Rift Elden Ring

In a world transformed by a mysterious rift ripping through the sky, the balance between technology, nature and civilization collapses. Titanic monsters born of the energy generated by the rift, and nicknamed the primordials, oppose an alien invasion, plunging humanity into a devastating war. In a war lasting 10 years, the aliens were repulsed thanks to the primordials, and humanity was reborn thanks to a major scientific discovery: it was possible to awaken unique talents in every individual from the age of 16. At the heart of a universe where advanced technologies, martial arts, mythical creatures and the shadows of an extraterrestrial past coexist, Adam, our protagonist, will have to prove that a simple individual can defy expectations and forge his own destiny. Adam's simulator is intended to be my second contracted book, so I hope you enjoy it! Chapter release: 1 chs/day.

In a world where magic flows like an elemental current, the boundaries between realms begin to erode. The Veil, an ancient barrier that has long separated the human world from the lands of mythical creatures, is weakening. From the depths of the Rift—an open wound in reality—beasts of unimaginable power begin to emerge, bringing with them the promise of both destruction and untold power. Caden Stormrider, a humble apprentice blacksmith in the frontier city of Talonspire, has always felt that his life lacked something. But when the Rift opens near his home, everything changes. Caden discovers that he is no ordinary human—he is Riftbound, one of the rare few who can channel the raw, primal energy from the creatures that come through the Rift. This newfound power is dangerous, wild, and uncontrollable. It is a gift that could lead to great power or great destruction. As the Veil continues to fracture, monsters from beyond the Rift roam the land, wreaking havoc on Caden’s world. With no choice but to learn how to wield the power surging through him, Caden embarks on a perilous journey to understand his magic—and to resist the darkness that threatens to consume him. But as Caden grows more powerful, he discovers that the true threat is not just the beasts beyond the Rift, but the struggle within himself. The magic of the Rift threatens to turn him into the very creatures he must fight. To survive, Caden must decide if he will become the hero the world needs or the monster it fears.

Synopsis of The Shadows Ascend In a world shattered by the appearance of the Tower of Eternity and the subsequent rifts that ravaged the Earth, humanity is forced to survive amidst the ruins. The Tower looms over the remnants of civilization, offering unimaginable power to those who can ascend its endless floors—but at a terrible cost: the soul of the climber. Kael Valen, a bitter and cold-hearted survivor, is one of the Rift Servants—a class of people forced to venture into dangerous rifts to collect valuable resources for the Syndicates that now rule the Earth. Once a hopeful boy, Kael’s life was ruined when his family was torn apart by the Tower’s arrival. Sold into servitude, Kael has learned to trust no one, survive at all costs, and most of all, hate the Tower and everything it stands for. When Kael stumbles upon an ancient, mysterious power within a rift—the Null Nexus, an unshaped shadow that offers strange, unexplainable abilities—his world changes. But this power, still untamed, is not without its risks. As Kael fights to control it, he realizes that the Nexus is more than just a tool for survival: it’s a key to understanding the true purpose of the Tower—and perhaps a way to destroy it once and for all. Joined by Lira Thorne, a ruthless climber with a deadly secret, Kael must navigate the deadly rifts, betrayals, and twisted politics of the new world, all while avoiding the watchful eyes of the Eclipsed Order, an ancient cult that worships the Tower’s power, and the Syndicates that seek to control the resources. But with each passing day, Kael’s control over the Nexus weakens, and the shadow begins to consume more than just his body. In a world where survival is a constant gamble and power comes at the price of humanity, Kael must decide: will he use the power of the Nexus to destroy the Tower and save the remnants of Earth? Or will he succumb to the darkness within, losing himself in the process? "The higher you climb, the darker your shadow becomes." --- This synopsis builds on the key themes of survival, power, and sacrifice, while giving a glimpse into Kael's motivation and the dark world he's navigating.

The emergence of the rifts happened nearly two decades ago. The phenomenon began suddenly and without warning, when strange, iridescent cracks appeared in the skies, tearing open the fabric of reality itself. From these rifts came a tide of monsters—creatures from alternate dimensions, hostile and terrifying, that wreaked havoc across the globe. Many countries were overwhelmed by the initial wave, with entire armies decimated within days. The rifts were not just a source of danger—they were also a source of power. Beyond the creatures that spilled out into the world, the rifts carried with them a strange energy. This energy, known as Mana, was a vital force that could enhance the natural world in strange and dangerous ways. As Mana seeped into the Earth, the very laws of nature began to warp, leading to the rise of Awakened humans. Awakened individuals—those who could tap into the Mana from the rifts—became the new power in the world. These individuals could summon, tame, and control monsters from the rifts, and they gained unique abilities through their bond with these creatures. In essence, the rifts reshaped humanity, making beast tamers, mages, and other talented individuals the new elite. But the rifts didn’t only give power—they also brought chaos. Wild rifts—unstable portals—began opening in random locations, pouring out monsters of various sizes and ranks. The world had to adapt quickly, and the rise of Beast Taming Academies was a direct response to this new threat. The Academies became the cornerstone of humanity’s survival, training young tamers to capture and control the creatures from the rifts, creating an intricate society where strength, control, and evolution were all crucial to survival. Kaito knew that his journey was about more than just taming beasts—it was about understanding the rifts themselves. What caused them? Why had they suddenly appeared? And what was their true connection to the monsters that now roamed the world?
