In a world ravaged by a catastrophic event 39 years ago, humanity's remnants have clustered into fortified cities and bustling markets behind towering walls, using a mysterious power known as "Force" to fend off deadly creatures that emerged from the chaos. Among these survivors is a boy, a resident of a city hidden behind these walls. This boy lives a relatively peaceful life with his best friend until an unknown incident engulfs his city in flames, leaving it in ruins. The boy's best friend perishes in the catastrophe, and he himself suffers grievous injuries, seemingly fatal. Miraculously, despite being burned, crushed, and losing copious amounts of blood, the boy clings to life through sheer willpower and perhaps a deeper connection to the Force than he ever realized. Driven by a burning desire for revenge and answers, he embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind the destruction of his city and the forces at play. As he journeys through the dangerous lands outside the walls, he encounters allies and enemies, each with their own stories of survival and loss. The boy's life transforms as he learns to harness the true potential of the Force, facing trials that test his resolve and uncovering secrets that challenge his understanding of the world and the catastrophe that changed it forever. His path of vengeance becomes one of discovery, leading him to confront the creatures and shadowy figures responsible for the devastation, and ultimately, to redefine his purpose in a world on the brink of another upheaval.

In a world once ruled by ten powerful gods, the magic that defined their dominion has vanished, leaving behind a fractured realm governed by the Church and noble families. House Veilborn, a long-extinct bloodline tied to the forgotten gods, once stood at the peak of divine power. But now, only one remains: Jon Tenebris, the last survivor, whose fate was stolen by the Church in a twisted bid to seize the powers of the Shadow God, his father. Erased from memory, Jon lives as a ghost, hidden from the world. But the Eyes of the Forgotten God grant him forbidden sight—the ability to see fate, death, and illusions, though they are a constant burden on his body. With nothing left to tie him to the past, Jon embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets of the gods and the shattered world around him. Joined by a mysterious black wolf cub that grows with him, Jon travels across the land, learning to control his shadow powers in secret while only using his air magic in public. Along the way, he discovers the existence of the Sky Tower, a place of ascension where mortals can reach the power of gods, and the royal academy, a prestigious institution that holds the keys to ancient magical knowledge. As Jon's path intertwines with the political struggle of the capital—where noble houses vie for control of the throne and the Church hunts those with magical abilities—he must navigate deadly forbidden zones, uncover the truth behind the gods' war, and learn to trust in the companions he never expected. But as Jon’s powers grow and the capital descends into chaos, the line between friend and foe blurs. With war breaking out after the king’s death and his identity revealed, Jon is thrust into a battle not only for his own survival but for the fate of the entire realm. When the world believes him dead, his journey is far from over. The Shadow God’s legacy is far from finished. "Shadows of Fate" is a tale of divine bloodlines, forgotten gods, and a young boy’s quest to reclaim his destiny in a world on the brink of war.
