Chapter 1 - Synopsis

In a fractured realm where the weave of mana is no longer gifted but torn from the marrow of beasts, relics, and men, a forgotten lineage stirs beneath the ashes of empire.

The ancient practice of Requiem Casting—an art of shaping mana through harmonic resonance—was outlawed centuries ago, its practitioners hunted and erased from history. Their legacy, steeped in forbidden lore, now lies buried beneath dust and blood. Yet power remembers its true heirs.

Kael Veyr, a nameless orphan raised in the refuse pits of the Arc Spire Bastion, lives by wit and stolen breath. Unknown to him, a dormant sigil sleeps in his veins—an inheritance not of gold, but of songwoven magic, a discipline so potent it once altered time, split worlds, and called back the dead.

When Kael narrowly survives an imperial purge and is left for dead amidst shattered mana cores, the ancient System awakens within him. With it, comes a library of buried commands and an arcane interface that maps existence like a symphony: frequencies of reality, harmonics of flesh, and chords of will.

From the forbidden catacombs of the Obsidian Reaches to the towering spires of the Mana Court, Kael begins to unravel the true history behind the Requiem: an ancient order that did not vanish, but fractured itself to seal a deeper, unspeakable force at the center of the world.

Now, with powers capable of unmaking natural law, Kael must walk the path of ascension alone, stalked by remnants of the empire, hunted by ascendant warlords who seek to claim his bloodline, and shadowed by the ever-tightening grip of the Silent Choir—a secretive faction bent on preventing his rise at any cost.

The deeper Kael delves into the system, the more it evolves—responding to emotion, memory, and sacrifice. Each victory demands a piece of his humanity. Each unlocked ability brings him closer to transcending mortality—and further from himself.
