Soulbrand: The Astral Scar – 

In a world where power is etched into the very soul, warriors known as Soulbrand Fighters shape history. Their Soulbrands—manifestations of their inner strength—grant them abilities beyond imagination. But not all Soulbrands bring glory.

Born in the desolate wastelands, Rei was branded with a scar, a mark of rejection. Unlike others, his Soulbrand refuses to grant him a weapon, leaving him to fight with nothing but his fists. Mocked, outcast, and seen as unworthy, Rei refuses to accept his fate.

When fate leads him to Aiden the Unchained, a rogue warrior with a past shrouded in legend, Rei learns that true strength isn’t in the weapon, but in the will to be free. With enemies lurking in the shadows—powerful rulers, warlords, and the gods themselves—Rei sets out on a journey to challenge the system that binds the world.

But as he fights to break the chains of destiny, an ancient force awakens within him… one that even the gods fear.

In a world ruled by might, can a warrior with nothing forge his own legend?

🌑 Prologue – The Man Who Shook the World

There was once a man whose Soulbrand burned so brightly that it defied the very laws of the world.

His power was an anomaly, a contradiction—a force so absolute that neither kings nor warlords could tame it. It was said that his Soulbrand did not chain him to destiny, as it did others. Instead, he bent fate itself to his will.

The world called him many things: a hero, a demon, a god. But to those who ruled from the shadows, he was a threat.

The United Nations of the Soulbrand Order—a coalition of the world's mightiest warriors and rulers—declared him an enemy of existence itself. They united not to wage war against a nation, nor to overthrow a tyrant, but to erase one man from history.

And yet, even when the strongest warriors of the world stood against him, they could not break him.

It was not because his strength surpassed all others…

It was because his will refused to be bound.

Some say he was destroyed. Others believe he chose to vanish, waiting for the world to be ready.

He was the first Soulcrest warrior to defy the world.

And his legacy would not end there.

For somewhere, beyond the reach of kings and tyrants…

A boy would awaken with a Soulbrand unlike any other.

And his fight for freedom was only beginning.
