Magnus Valerius is a man who thrives on control. A brilliant yet ruthless strategist, he has built his life around precision, discipline, and the unwavering belief that strength governs all. To the outside world, he is a devoted husband to his wife, Eleanor, and a calculating but respectable father to his two children, Lucian and Selene. But beneath this carefully curated image lies a man who sees the world as a game of power and manipulation—one where only the strongest minds prevail. His younger brother, Adrian, a well-intentioned but anxious police officer, operates under a different philosophy—one that clashes with Magnus’s cold, methodical worldview. When an unexpected turn of events forces the two brothers into each other’s orbits more than ever before, tensions rise, and old wounds resurface. As Magnus finds himself at the precipice of something far greater than even he anticipated, a single choice sets off a chain reaction—one that will test his control, his morality, and the very foundation of the life he has built. Because no matter how intelligent he is, no matter how well-calculated his every move… chaos has a way of finding even the most disciplined minds.

"Elysium of the Fallen" is a novella in the mecha genre. A post-apocalyptic, scorched world, philosophy, psychology, sadness, melancholy, depression, and >. Well, originally I planned to write some light-hearted novella with the usual "system" and harem, but... I will never allow myself to create something... like that. So, there won’t be any systems, harems, or Mary Sue characters here (well, I’ll at least try). Anyway, I’ll try to release chapters... as often as possible (considering that I’ll be writing two stories at once). If you don’t like something, don’t throw things at me, just write it and I’ll try to improve... well, that’s it... Good luck to everyone, thanks to those who will read, and I’m off to read a biblical apocryphon and drink my eighth espresso. Ciao!
