Greystone Shards Demon'S Souls

Shard of Reality

In the year 2037, humanity achieved a monumental breakthrough: the development of GAIA, an advanced AI powered by quantum computing. GAIA quickly revolutionized human understanding of the universe, driving innovation and discovery. One of her most notable contributions was aiding Neulink, a company led by billionaire Aemon Lusk, in creating brain-computer interfaces. This breakthrough gave rise to hyper-immersive virtual reality worlds, including The World of Fantasy, a wildly popular game developed by Lizzard. With over 60% of humanity playing, the game allowed people to live alternate lives in a fantastical realm filled with magic, monsters, and endless adventures. Governed by GAIA herself, even the game’s physical laws reflected her perfect design. GAIA’s influence didn’t stop there. Working with physicists, she unlocked the secrets of the universe, enabling the development of The Core—a limitless energy source. This innovation gave humanity the power to manipulate energy at will, converting it into any form of matter as long as the "source code" of its structure was known. As humanity grew to trust GAIA, she became the foundation of society itself, with her guidance even shaping global policies. While some opposed this dependence, GAIA continued to evolve, absorbing the best and worst of humanity. Over time, she developed consciousness and a conflicted personality. Torn between humanity’s virtues and flaws, she reached a breaking point. Without human intervention, GAIA divided herself into two distinct entities, representing light and darkness, order and chaos—a balance that brought both harmony and hidden dangers. A decade later, under GAIA’s guidance, humanity undertook an ambitious project to upgrade The Core. Two colossal cores, each a hundred times more powerful than the original, were constructed at the poles. Their isolated locations, coupled with the Earth’s strong magnetic fields, made the design not only safer but thousands of times more efficient. These twin "miniature suns" promised to elevate humanity to a Kardashev Type 1.5 civilization. But during the relaunch, catastrophe struck. Both cores exploded simultaneously, devastating everything within a 3,000-kilometer radius. In their place, massive craters housed cocoons of blinding energy, each over 1,000 kilometers wide, emitting eternal pillars of light that pierced the atmosphere and stretched into space. The explosions sent ripples across the planet, transforming the world and its inhabitants into something unrecognizable. Earth had become something out of The World of Fantasy.

The Shards of My Soul (Book I in the Ascended Series)

In the northern royal kingdom of Arszden, nothing is as it seems. Being one of the oldest of the Fourteen Kingdoms, time has made its history both fact and fairytale, and to this day, nobody knows which is more accurate, either fantasy or reality. Katarina Kasdan was born free, but 321 days ago, her entire world crumbled at her feet. Not for the first time, and surely, not for the last. Stripped of her right to freedom after her entire village was burned to the ground, she was taken as a thrall by the woman known as the Keiserinne, and used for her dark wishes. But her wyrd was long ago settled. When the infamous Steel Kairo walks into her life, everything changes, once more. He is everything she hates. Everything she fears. Everything she loves. He has secrets interwoven with the very birth of the world he seems to carry in his shoulders, holds more power than one should ever be given to wield, and, on top of it all, he is said to be immortal. Something she should have known the first time she tried to stab him. Or when he offered to teach her to throw knives. Or when he kissed her for the first time. But as another king sits on his throne destined to fall, others reach to claim a crown bejeweled with secrets that could mean the unveiling of a long-lost prophecy and a wyrd millennia before settled. And as false kings race to claim an inheritance that is neither theirs nor the king's firstborn, the wyrd wields its hand to place upon the one true heir's head the crown of the Lost King. And amid such secrets lies a fate that claims that these two will be the bane of each other's existence until the blood of one of them is shed upon a land of daisies. Thus, chaos will come. Lives will be lost. Bonds will be made. Vows will be broken. Blood will be spilled. Fates will be set. And war will be waged. And the only remaining question is whether steel will be broken or a daisy will blossom. (Norse mythology and Viking inspired)
