Cold Abyss

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.

The world is governed by the System, an omnipotent force that dictates reality, bestowing power upon chosen individuals, granting them Classes, Paths, and Skills to combat the monstrous horrors that emerge from the Rifts. Hunters-humanity's champions-rise through the ranks, seeking glory, wealth, and dominion. But what happens when the System itself rejects you? Ronan Kessler, an orphan from the slums of Ashenford, had only one dream-to Awaken and become a Hunter, to rise above the filth and carve his name into history. But when his Awakening fails and the System deems him worthless, he is cast aside, doomed to a life of insignificance. Yet, as he stands on the precipice of despair, something else calls to him. A voice from the abyss, a force older than the System itself. It offers him a choice: remain nothing, or embrace the forbidden. Marked by the Devourer's Curse, Ronan is no longer bound by the System's laws. He does not level up. He does not gain normal skills. Instead, he devours his enemies, assimilating their essence, evolving into something beyond human. But power comes at a price. The world fears him. Hunters seek to destroy him. And deep within the void, something watches, waiting for the day he opens the Forbidden Gate. With the world against him and an eldritch hunger clawing at his soul, Ronan must decide: Will he defy fate and forge his own path? Or will he succumb to the abyss and become the very monster the world fears?

Haunted by the oppressive monotony of the quarantine zones and driven by whispers of underground sanctuaries, he risks everything to uncover a life beyond the decay. When he stumbles upon a cryptic note: "Seek the truth below". Austin’s journey takes a darker turn. Rumors of hidden facilities, where the powerful retreated during the collapse, intertwine with eerie occurrences and the unsettling feeling that the ruins are not as lifeless as they seem. As he ventures deeper into the remnants of humanity, Austin confronts not only the desolation of the world but also the echoes of its secrets. In the crumbling streets and shadowed depths, survival means more than finding food and water; it means uncovering the truth about what destroyed the world—and what might still lie beneath its surface.

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.

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.

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.

In the shadow of an ancient curse, where myths of immortality and whispers of demons collide, a ragtag group of warriors, mages, and clerics embarks on a perilous journey into the unknown. Bound by fragile alliances and haunted by secrets, they face not only the creatures lurking in the dark but also the specters of their own pasts. As their path unfolds, trust falters, alliances crack, and the line between light and darkness blurs. What truly lies within the depths of the Immortal Cave? And how much of their humanity will they sacrifice to uncover it? Step into a world of danger and deception, where every shadow hides a truth more harrowing than the last. The answers lie just beyond the light—if you dare to seek them.

Aether is a patchwork of realities, stitched together with the coarse threads of fate. The High Ones feast on floating islands, flouting the laws of gods and men. The Low Ones rot in the stench of the underbelly, dreaming of a breath of fresh air. Between them lie countless layers of existence, where magic intertwines with despair. Into this chaotic world steps the Unknown. His face is hidden beneath a cowl, and in his eyes burns the cold fire of the Abyss. He is no hero, no savior; he is a catalyst for change, ruthless and hypocritical. The Unknown seeks no followers; he is a solitary figure. He wanders Aether, sowing the seeds of knowledge, but not out of noble intent. His gift is a curse, a trial that breaks the weak and elevates the strong. He asks for no payment, but the price of his lessons is blood, sweat, and tears. He whispers the secrets of the universe into the ears of the outcast, but cares nothing for their fate. He is a spark that can ignite the flame of hope or burn everything to ashes. The story begins with Kael, a young thief from the underbelly who overhears the Unknown conversing with a spirit. Words laden with ancient magic and forbidden knowledge ignite within him a spark of ambition. He begins to stalk the Unknown, seeking to glean his secrets. But the Unknown is no teacher in the conventional sense. He does not give lessons; he creates situations in which his "students" are forced to learn to survive, adapt, and overcome. Kael becomes an unwitting witness to the Unknown's actions, seeing how his "gifts" alter the destinies of others, shattering the old order and giving rise to new chaos. He realizes that the Unknown does not strive for balance; he craves destruction, the rebirth of the world in the fires of the Abyss. And Kael, intoxicated by the power that newfound knowledge grants him, becomes a part of this chaos. Kael's path intersects with others who have also been "blessed" by the Unknown's touch. Some descend into madness, others become tyrants, and still others become martyrs. Each of them is a tool in the Unknown's hands, a pawn in his game with reality. And Kael must decide who he wants to be – a pawn or a player. "Coldfire" is a story about the price of knowledge, the dark side of power, and how even in the most ruthless chaos, there is a perverse beauty. It is a story not of heroes, but of survivors, not of salvation, but of transformation, not of light, but of the cold fire of the Abyss that consumes all in its path.
