A Certain Undefined Gaia

Gaia City stands as the pinnacle of human advancement—a sprawling, walled metropolis where science has given birth to the extraordinary. Within its boundaries live Gaias, individuals born with Arthem circuits, synthetic pathways infused with Psi Waves and the mysterious energy known as Metra. Ranked from Eta to Alpha, Gaias are classified, studied, and controlled under a rigid system designed to maintain order and suppress the unknown. But science can only explain so much. Beyond the city's borders dwell the Mergus, wielders of pure Metra through forbidden Ancient Scripts and sacred texts long dismissed as myth by Gaia City's researchers. Unlike Gaias, Mergus tap into forces unquantifiable, echoing lost wisdom and primal power. Contact between the two worlds is outlawed—for good reason. Exposure to raw Metra could cripple or kill a Gaia, disrupting their Arthem at the core. Ryouma Winslow, an Eta-class Gaia dismissed as a nobody, had no intention of getting involved with either side. But everything changes when he crosses paths with Archive (Shiro), a strange girl with fractured memories and a presence that doesn’t belong in Gaia City. Helping her seemed simple—until restoring her mind reveals a truth that shatters the world he thought he knew. Now entangled with rogue Mergus factions, hunted by unseen forces, and navigating fragile alliances with powerful Level Alpha Gaias like the electrifying Mei Tokisaki, Ryouma finds himself drawn into a multilayered conflict that transcends science, challenges belief, and threatens the foundations of Gaia City itself. Because in a world split between science and sorcery, the greatest danger is a boy who doesn’t fit into either side. Author's Note to Readers: This story draws clear inspiration from the Toaru series (A Certain Magical Index / Scientific Railgun), and longtime fans will notice structural and tonal similarities in its arcs, setting, and faction dynamics. While some adaptations and elements may feel familiar, please know that the world, characters, power systems, and underlying themes in A Certain Undefined Gaia are entirely original and unique to this work. Think of it in the same way that fans appreciate both Mushoku Tensei and TBATE—similarities exist, but each story carries its own voice, meaning, and direction.

SCULPTURED DESIRE

Living as the fifth daughter of a noble family, Amira found herself adrift in the fog of her home, neglected and overlooked by those she once called her own. Her days were spent in the solitude of the attic, a hidden oasis away from the bustling world outside. However, when the tumult of war erupts and she is thrust into the role of a truce offering between two formidable nations, she grapples with the uncertainty of surviving in a new kingdom known for its icy demeanor and ruthless nature. Will she navigate this foreign terrain and carve out a new existence she never fathomed? (Excerpt) "Clean it," Zyran commanded. "Yes, your Highness," the servant acknowledged with a respectful bow, ready to fetch the cleaning supplies. "Not you," Zyran interjected, causing the servant to freeze in confusion. "Her," he added, nodding in the direction of Anastasia, whose eyes widened in disbelief. Anastasia blinked rapidly, trying to process the situation. "Pardon?" she asked. "Clean the mess on the floor," Zyran instructed. The crowd started murmuring and Anastasia shifted uncomfortably on her knees. "That's the servant's job, not mine. Why should I? I don't think I understand what you are trying to say Prince Zyran. My father will never approve of this," Anastasia began only to be abruptly cut off by Zyran. "Don't make me repeat myself. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if I interfered with your task," Zyran warned. Anastasia's lips trembled as she fought to hold back her words. She knew Zyran's reputation for being ruthless, and she didn't want to make her situation any worse than it already was. "Get me the cleaning supplies," she instructed the servant, who was prepared to follow her command until Zyran interjected. "No one will help you," he declared. Anastasia's chest heaved with anger as she locked eyes with Amira, who was standing behind Zyran. She rose to her knees, intending to fetch the cleaning supplies herself, but Zyran stopped her once again. "Where do you think you're going?" he demanded. "To bring the bucket," she replied with a hint of annoyance, but she quickly reminded herself to remain composed. "I never asked you to stand up," Zyran stated. "Then how am I supposed to clean the floor?" she inquired. "Use your dress," Zyran replied. The onlookers in the crowd were visibly shocked, exchanging bewildered glances and murmurs as they witnessed the unfolding scene. Anastasia's cheeks turned crimson with embarrassment.
