Elias Kael thought his life as a chef would be simple—until the day he bonded with a mysterious shard and awakened the power of the Sharder System. Now, with an eccentric companion named Dot, Elias is thrust into a world where Shard Bearers are hunted, their powers coveted by hidden factions.

With his forgotten past resurfacing and deadly enemies closing in, Elias must unlock his true potential, master his growing abilities, and uncover the secret behind the shards before it’s too late. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes—he isn’t just another Sharder. He might be the key to everything.
