In a world where Aether decides strength and destiny, humanity has been branded as "The Rejected"—a fragile species, struggling to survive in a land dominated by powerful Beasts and arrogant Greater Ones. For humans, every ounce of strength comes at an impossible cost, and only those who survive the perilous Awakening ritual can hope to harness the energy that shapes their world. Among the young initiates is Arun, a boy reborn with memories of a past life—a life in a modern, structured world that was lost to a catastrophic end. With a sharp mind, Arun has transformed his isolated tribe with inventions and ideas far beyond their understanding. Yet, when the strange dark-gray energy inside him begins to stir and the dangers outside the valley grow closer, he realizes that innovation alone won't protect his loved ones. Arun takes the risk of Awakening, stepping into a trial that could claim his life. What he gains, however, is far more than anyone could have imagined. As the violent energy of the Beast Core intertwines with the dark force within him, Arun discovers not only incredible power but also the ability to pierce the veil between worlds. The energy that sets him apart becomes a bridge, allowing him to traverse back and forth between the primitive, Aether-fueled present and the technological ruins of his past life. But the answers Arun seeks come with their own burdens. In his old world, he uncovers remnants of a lost civilization and the key to the catastrophe that ended it. In his new world, he must forge an empire to stand against Beasts, Greater Ones, and the hidden truths of Aether itself. As Arun's power grows, so does the mystery surrounding him. Why was humanity rejected by Aether? What is the origin of the strange energy shielding him? And, most importantly, is he the savior of humanity—or its most dangerous threat? Caught between two worlds, Arun sets out to defy fate, build a legacy, and uncover the secrets of existence itself. But as the threads of his destiny unravel, one thing becomes clear: the greatest battles are yet to come, and they will be fought not just with strength, but with the courage to challenge the impossible.

The slaves don't wish to step into the gladiatorial arena, and the Shadow Warriors don't desire to obtain life either. If one wants to rebel, then the bottom line that "it" can tolerate will be your ultimate end. "Brother, I'm Alice Katerina. Don't forget my name..."

I would like to firstly say that this is my first time writing, so don't expect everything to be perfect for a while. 2. This story is a slow/fast-paced reading. It'll have a mix of both. Some chapters will feel slower because it is, and others will feel faster because it is. 3. It does have romance in it and I wasn't sure to add cultivation because it's more like meditation and like ki gathering and things. However, after going through my thoughts, it was basically the same thing, so I just did it. 4. It's a little all over the place for I'd say the first 6–8 chapters maybe more? But It'll will slowly come together, hopefully… 5. If you do enjoy this, make sure to give it a review and ask other people to read! 6. If there are any questions at all, ask in the comments, and I'll be answering questions every 10 chapters. 7. So update to the list above ^ Romance has been removed due to it taking the first slot and having it show up primarily (I think primarily) as romance and not showing the others before you click on the actual book. It'll still have romance, so don't worry. Nothing will change 8. I would also like to clarify that this is an original work by me, and the clothes i decided to use for the characters, "hanfu" mainly, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone by using it as a novel that is made within america if anyone thought anything like that. I'm simply doing it because i like the design and i think they look extremely cool and also beautiful to me. So again i don't mean any disrespect if im wording any of it wrong. I just really like them.

Arjun Varma is nobody special—a broke, self-taught historian scraping by in Mumbai, making myth-busting YouTube videos to survive. But everything changes when he stumbles upon a forgotten folder filled with ancient blueprints—plans for a technology so advanced, it bends reality itself. Buried under centuries of myth and suppression, this aetheric technology once powered the greatest civilizations in history. Now, with the blueprints in hand and a sarcastic AI assistant named Bete at his side, Arjun has a choice: sell the discovery to the highest bidder… or build an empire the world has never seen.
