The closer we get, the more dangerous everything becomes. Because there are people who want my power, and they'll do anything to get it. Even if it means ruining the boy I'm starting to love.

The world changed drastically when the androids began to be a thing, especially when the Darcitian AI war happened all the way back in 2082. The original company that built these ingenious machines were quickly shut down and burnt to the ground after humanity proved once again that they're at the top of the chain and won the war. But since humans are always looking for trouble a new company has been founded in 2110 called Eidolon Dynamics. Unlike the previous company the androids this new company provided were marketed as personal companions or if necessary caretakers. The humans were in both scared and in awe, on one hand these new androids managed to mimic human behavior nearly perfectly and were able to learn based from experience. On the other, their behavior were way too accurate for literally everyone's comfort zone... and so people began to dread about a second AI war. Octavius Watts was however one of the few people who didn't really care, in reality he was more scared about ending up on the streets, little does he know one of these days the universe will throw a meteorite scale of news into him. Quite literally. PS: The cover is a placeholder for the moment, as the story develops I'll build one myself in order to fit the story properly.

[From the stories of Azuden0, Volume 3. Revelation, the Downfall. Chapter 2, Darkness's Uprising.] Achan Allare has spent his life running from his father’s legacy. A man once revered as the greatest Babaylan, a Spiritual Healer, whose supposed miracles once inspired awe. But Achan knows the truth: his father was no miracle worker.

The palace gardens were a tapestry of silver under the full moon, their roses glowing faintly as Alaric paced the stone path. His heart raced, not from the day’s endless duties but from the thought of Elara. She’d agreed to meet him here, despite her hesitations, and the weight of what he wanted to say pressed against his chest. Elara emerged from the shadows, her simple dress a stark contrast to the opulence around them. Her eyes, bright and wary, met his. “You shouldn’t be here, Your Highness,” she whispered, glancing at the darkened windows of the palace. “If we’re seen—” “I don’t care,” Alaric said, stepping closer. “Elara, I can’t keep pretending. Every moment I’m with you, I feel alive. Not a prince, not a pawn—just me.” Her breath caught, and she shook her head. “You’re not just a man, Alaric. You’re the crown prince. Your world is up there”—she gestured toward the palace—“and mine is below it. We can’t change that.” “We can,” he insisted, his voice low but fierce. “I love you, Elara. I’ve tried to fight it, to honor my vows, my kingdom—but I can’t. I won’t.” Tears glistened in her eyes. “You don’t understand what you’re asking. If I let myself love you, I’ll lose everything—my safety, my place here. And you… you could lose your throne.” “Then let me lose it,” he said, taking her hands. Her fingers trembled in his, warm despite the night’s chill. “You’re worth more than any crown.” She pulled away, her voice breaking. “Don’t say that. You’re meant to lead Eldoria. I won’t be the reason you fall.” Before he could respond, she turned and fled into the darkness, leaving him alone with the roses and the ache in his heart.
