Eclipse: The Fractured Realm

Title: Eclipse: The Fractured Realm Setting: A fractured world torn apart by an ancient war known as The Sundering, where continents drift in the skies and seas are filled with floating islands. The Sacred Eclipse, a celestial artifact that once balanced the realm through Aether, was shattered into shards. These Eclipse Shards are scattered across the realm, each holding immense potential to awaken or corrupt an Eclipser (Aether-user). The realm is now ruled by The World 5, a cabal of godlike Eclipsers who hoard shards and maintain tyrannical power over the divided lands. --- Power System: Aether Pure Aether: Balanced, precise, and elegant. Used by monks, healers, and warriors who maintain harmony. Rare and difficult to master. Raw Aether: Aggressive, explosive, and instinctual. Favored by berserkers, martial artists, and frontline soldiers. Very destructive. Hollow Aether: Forbidden, unstable, and tied to emotions like grief, rage, and fear. Used by cursed beings and rogue Eclipsers. Draws from the void left behind by the Sacred Eclipse’s destruction. Eclipse Shards: Ancient relics that resonate with Aether, amplifying its potency. Can mutate an Eclipser’s abilities or unlock forms similar to Bankai or Devil Union. --- Main Characters Kai Johan Role: Protagonist Aether Type: Raw Aether (later unlocks Hollow Aether) Personality: Reckless, determined, warm-hearted. Starts off naïve but grows into a fierce protector. Background: A street orphan born under a blood moon, said to be a bad omen.

Lysander Hutchman Role: Deuteragonist Aether Type: Pure Aether Personality: Calm, analytical, philosophical. Acts as Kai’s foil. Background: A former disciple of the World 5 and member of the Twilight order who defected after witnessing their cruelty. Now a rogue tactician aiding Kai. Goal: To atone for his past and create a world where Aether is free. Rhea Solarin Role: MC’s Love Interest Aether Type: Raw/Pure Hybrid Personality: Bold, witty, and kind. Often the voice of reason. Background: Heiress to a fallen kingdom wiped out by Fen. Trains as a blade dancer using Aether-infused swords. Bond with Kai: They share the same Eclipse shard type, forming a deep emotional and Aetheric connection. Fumiko Asanari Role: Lysander’s Love Interest Aether Type: Hollow Aether Personality: Mysterious, aloof, internally tormented. Background: A former assassin for World 5’s enforcer division. Her Aether devoured her family’s memories. She now seeks redemption and identity. Bond with Lysander: A slow-burning, intense relationship built on mutual healing.

Background: Once a prophet who tried to save the Sacred Eclipse but was consumed by the Hollow void. Believes the world must be shattered further to be reborn in his vision. He killed the former world five leader during the war of the fracture/ Sundering and became the leader of the world 5.

Fragments of Eternity

For centuries, humanity has fought a losing war against the alien Xa’tarii. Every attempt to unite has ended in failure, every plan foiled by betrayal, greed, or fear. Talon Graves is one man trapped in an endless cycle, reliving the fight over and over in a desperate attempt to find the path that will save humanity. This is his story, from the first life where he was just a kid. To the hundredth and beyond, trapped in an endless cycle. Each step, each decision, brings him closer to breaking the cycle or losing himself entirely. Perhaps even both. Will Talon’s hope be enough to defy fate, or will humanity fall to its own flaws once more? -- Hello everyone! If you’ve made it this far into the summary, and I still haven’t convinced you to click on that first chapter, let me share a little more about what you can expect from this book. This story offers a unique power system, one inspired by cultivation but with my own twist to make it truly distinct. It’s a universe where intergalactic warfare takes center stage, featuring everything from the awe-inspiring World Enders who can destroy planets with a thought, to the smallest soldiers fighting tooth and nail for survival. Every individual matters, and every battle leaves its mark. In this universe, it’s all about scale. Even a world-ending Super is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. When wars span entire galaxies and civilizations vie for dominance across universal borders, the impact of a single Super, no matter how powerful, is often a morale boost or the elimination of key high-profile targets, including enemy World Enders themselves. Victory here isn’t determined by raw strength alone but by strategy, sacrifice, and the countless individuals who shape the tide of war. So, if you’re looking for a story that combines relentless action, intricate power systems, and the weight of interstellar stakes, then this might just be the book for you. I hope you’ll give it a chance, click that first chapter, and let’s dive in together. P.S. I’ll be writing this for the long haul, so if you’re expecting a gritty, determined, and powerful individual right from the start, this isn’t that kind of story. Instead, you’ll follow a journey of growth, struggle, and transformation as Talon learns to navigate a brutal universe and carve his place in it. Enjoy!

He is caught in between a war of succession that threatens his life, while also re-discovering his light powers that have now somehow changed. Celestial beasts arise out of nowhere creatures that shouldn't exist, yet they do and while dangerous, he discovers that they are his ticket to restoring his powers even acquiring the mystic gifts these monsters possess. Something horrible glimmers at the edge of his consciousness an event so catastrophic he left heaven in order to avoid it or prepare for it? A mission he embarked to bring Lucifer back however that has now changed his new mission wasn't to bring back his brethren rather he needed to kill Lucifer, and let the apocalypse happen. Excerpt: Prologue “A feathered wooden arrow shaft sticks out of my chest, black silky soft things why do they put them there anyway? Not that it matters. Dark red blood pools where the golden tipped arrow struck the chest pulverizing a rib tearing soft lung tissue underneath, breathing is difficult, extremely painful even. Lying on the ground a surface too soft and plain to be natural, blood continues to farther pool at my back, the celestial arrow must have gone through completely.” You will die Michael if you go on this journey You will die The warm fluid spreads under him almost a comforting presence except for the excruciating pain that comes with the open wound. “Humans! I thought they would love me” A labored chuckle ‘Yet here I am dying as a result of my arrogance, in retro-respect them killing each other ceaselessly should have been sign enough but no I had to heal them!’ strangely he wasn’t angry Elderine’s words reverberated endlessly in his mind. You will die You will die The sky shines twilight in the cloudy afternoon it would rain soon ‘Maybe it will wash away the blood, how optimistic of me.’ Blood continues to pour out ‘Michael the Arch-angel foiled by his kin and humans! Would make for a great poem I want to hear it.’ ‘How would it start…hmm…’ He groaned, life continued to flow out of him endlessly with every drop of his immortal blood. You will die A tear dropped from a corner of his eye down the side of his face, ‘Were angels capable of that? I guess so’ Another tear came out then more flowed out in pain, surprisingly he wasn’t crying because he was sad for himself, he had known his fate from the day he left heaven, but for those he couldn’t save, they had to suffer and die due to his recklessness he wouldn’t forgive himself or those who caused it “Elina…...Eva” he tried to shout raspy sounds came from his lips. You will die, You will return stronger than before. Soon he could not breathe any more, the Light became darkness. PS: just thought i should add this part this story does not in any way contravene or involve any type of religion, references to a religion if any are purely for fictional purposes, I do not intend to disrespect anyone.
