A Symphony of Ash and Light

Rhaelior
In a world scorched by rebellion and shadowed by lost divinity, love dares to rise from the ruins. When mankind defied Heaven, the skies fell in flame. Celestials were sent to silence the uprising, but some angels chose humanity over duty—and paid the price. Cast down and forgotten, the fallen wander a broken world where belief has splintered. Some humans still wield faith as fuel for sacred technology. Others kneel to machine-gods, clinging to rusted circuits and cold logic. And some have given up entirely, hearts closed to both Heaven and hope. Caleb, a reclusive musician with a quiet strength and a haunted past, lives on the edges of this fractured society. His melodies carry the ache of a world that’s lost its rhythm—until one song stirs something watching in the dark. Seriah, a fallen angel once radiant and resolute, now lives in exile, her once-pure light tempered by sorrow. Aloof, enigmatic, and attuned to celestial harmony, she’s drawn to Caleb—not just by his music, but by a strange familiarity that defies reason. Their meeting sparks a chain of events written in forbidden scripture: "A dark star burning bright and a mockingbird shall sing a new world into being." But prophecies are rarely so simple—and never without cost. As ancient factions war over the soul of the world, Caleb and Seriah find themselves hunted by zealots, worshippers of false gods, and a corrupted archangel who once called Seriah kin. This archangel—twisted by grief, pride, and the belief that he must become a new Creator—sees their union as both threat and opportunity. He will guide, test, and betray them in turn, hoping to use their path to reshape reality. Bound by love, haunted by the past, and caught in a war between Heaven’s remnants and humanity’s future, Caleb and Seriah must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for each other—and for a world that no longer believes in miracles. Because in a world of ash, only light born of love might bring balance.

VALERIA: Last Flame Rising

VALERIA: Last Flame Rising In a world where peace is a privilege paid for in blood, one boy rises from the ashes of powerlessness to defy fate itself. Two hundred years ago, the Varnok descended — primal horrors immune to blade and bullet. Humanity teetered on the edge of extinction until the Origins appeared, beings of unfathomable might who gifted the world Essence Magic and drove the monsters back. Now, the last bastion of mankind survives on a single continent: Valeria. In this new age, adventurers climb the ranks of power known as the Flame Ascension, battling monsters, exploring ancient ruins, and defending peace bought with centuries of sacrifice. Kael Fael never wanted to fight. With a loving family, a heroic older brother, and dreams of a quiet life, war was never meant for him. But when a Varnok horde attacked his village and left his brother broken and near death, Kael tasted the bitterness of helplessness—and it changed him forever. Years later, Kael stands at the bottom of the path his brother once walked. With only average talent but an indomitable will, he throws himself into training, determined to climb through pain, loss, and fear to reach a strength few dare dream of. But as Kael rises, something stirs in the shadows. Forgotten rituals resurface. The Varnok grow bolder. And the truth behind the Origins’ arrival may be far darker than anyone knows. When the last flame rises, will it be salvation… or the world’s end?
