Once torn apart by a war between mythical beasts—the mighty dragons and leviathans—the Earth’s landscape has been forever reshaped, and monsters born from the rage and negativity of that war continue to haunt civilization. Peace was briefly restored by a group of elite warriors known as the Pacifiers, who harnessed a new and mysterious form of battle arts beyond human imagination.

{Check out my new novel, I Won't Forgive You!} '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.

In the aftermath of an endless void, a divine spark gave rise to three sibling deities—Amaterasu, the radiant creator; Tsukihana, the contemplative mediator; and Susano’o, the storm-bringer. Together, they shaped Kaminoyama, a world of beauty and balance, their harmony birthing sacred beasts, yokai, and mortals endowed with infinite potential. But perfection is fragile. A clash of ideologies among the siblings spiraled into a devastating war, plunging the land into chaos. Susano’o’s storms corrupted the lifeblood of the world, while Amaterasu’s light fought to preserve it, and Tsukihana sought balance between her warring siblings.

The final battle saw heart-wrenching sacrifices, as Tsukihana gave her life to sever Susano’o’s chaos from the world. The war ended, but at a tremendous cost—a single sun, a lone moon, and a fractured realm scarred by darkness. Now, with the gods withdrawn, mortals must forge their own path in a land where hope flickers like dying embers. What lies ahead in the ashes of creation? Only those with the courage to rise will uncover the truth—and face the remnants of divine fury.
