The Hollowing came like a thief in the dead of the night - silent, merciless, and absolute. It was an event that permanently scarred humanity’s history, stealing along all of the possibility, wonder and hope that this world once had - for it was the year that the spark of wonder had been wretched from existence, the year that magic had died. But many soon came to realise that the Hollowing was not the end but the beginning. Cracks opened around the world, bringing about the descent of the Dark fog, and along with it, a dread unbound by mortal thought which devoured the weak and hunted those who still clung too closely to the memory of magic. Year 3999. 1800 years after the Hollowing, humanity has been pushed to live inside the walls of Domes: monolithic walls, encasing gargantuan swaths of land protected by an ancient being from the era of magic, the Acacia. Yet, the peace that it brought was like a festering wound, throbbing with unresolved mysteries and bringing about feelings of hatred and fear, of that day 1800 years ago when one decided to break an oath. As tensions beneath the surface simmer and an unknown group threatens to sink humanity down once and for all, a meeting that would change the fate of a young boy - one that had the potential to shake both sides, one that would bring about change to the whole continent of Paradoxia - was about to take place. The meeting of disciple and master. It was at that moment that the goddess of fate began to spin her wheel to weave tales for this forgotten world once more.

A boy believed his life held no worth because he couldn’t understand people—their friendships, bonds, or even the purpose of their existence. He saw things beyond what humans were meant to perceive, but always dismissed them, thinking his mind was playing tricks on him. Though gifted in many ways, he lived in solitude, waiting for his life to quietly end. That was, until he met an unusual girl at school. She promised to show him life’s hidden worth, and for the first time, he found himself wanting to believe her. But just as he began to embrace her words, an accident stole his life. Or so he thought. The next morning, he woke in his bed, memories of his death vivid and unsettling. A strange piece of dark metal ring wrapped around his right middle finger, and a mysterious to-do list filled his mind—a series of tasks with curious rewards for each one completed. Now, with newfound power and cryptic objectives, he faces a choice: continue to follow the tasks, or use this second chance to live knowing the worth of his life.

Seeing him so close to her, she struggled to cover her dismay about his boldness. Gabriella swallowed hard. “Stay away from me.” He could see the pulse beating in her throat, he could see the tiny fleck of fear and nervousness. Without thinking, he covered her mouth with his and for an instant, she yielded to his hunger, she responded as if all the past disagreement they had meant nothing. He had expected resistance, anticipated ice. Instead he got fire, and it scorched through his blood, his only thought was tangling in the sheets with her..
