A 27-year-old journalist from Old Wood Town, Eathen once met a girl named Maria. Time passed, and as they prepared for marriage, a tragedy, "The Old Wood Tragedy", occurred, which led the whole town into misery; half the residents died, and those who survived lost their minds. The only person able to recover was Eathen and the only person nowhere to be found was Maria. For three years, Eathen was in a coma. When he came out of the coma, the first thing that greeted him was a letter, a letter with Maria's name on it. He returned to the Old Wood, the letter asked him to. "The place where it all began shall be the place where it all ends; for every beginning must find its end, and every end gives rise to a new beginning."

'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero.

For generations, a vengeful demon has tormented the villagers with withering droughts, disease, and famine, forcing them into a grim pact: each new moon, they offer a bride to the demon, only to find her lifeless body drifting down the moonlit river by morning. But as the next offering approaches, the elders make an unthinkable choice—this time, they’ve chosen a man. Fyn, marked as the sacrificial bride, feels the weight of his fate sink like stones into his chest.
