Nafees lived a life shadowed by pain. his father’s abuse, the silence of those around him, and the growing rage within. One day, that rage took control. He killed his father. But before the consequences could catch up, his older brother stepped forward, shouldering the crime and its punishment without hesitation.
As the police van carried his brother away, fate twisted its blade. Without warning, the van skidded off the bridge and plunged into the river below. Nafees leapt after it. But what he saw beneath the surface shattered everything he thought he knew.
Deep beneath the water, his brother hovered...calm...unharmed. With a snap of his fingers, the river dissolved. Darkness turned to stars. Space folded around them. Suddenly, they stood atop mirror-like water, the cosmos reflected beneath their feet.
“I am a regressor,” his brother spoke,
“Through 769 lives, through ash and smoke.
Nafees my little brother, you’re the reason I bled through time.
"And you…are the chosen whispered in ancient lore. A thread in fate’s dark, tangled rhyme.
From here, your journey continues in another world"
In the blink of an eye, Nafees was no longer himself. He awoke as Aether von Noctvain, heir to one of the Seven Great Families of a vast empire...a realm ruled by iron will, ancient bloodlines, Magic-Aura and ruthless ambition.
Before he could grasp what any of it meant, the door to his chamber burst open.
She stormed in...his fiancée.
Everyone feared her as the The Silent Rose. But when she saw him, her cheeks turned pink, her lips trembled, and her eyes darted away like a shy schoolgirl. She couldn’t speak, couldn’t even hold his gaze. Around others, she was cold as winter... but with him, she melted. Blushing, fidgeting, secretly stealing glances. she was hopelessly in love.
And in that tender, awkward silence between them, Nafees began to think... maybe this new life wasn’t so bad after all.
But the illusion shatters.
A sadistic cult abducts Aether and drags him to a fortress of nightmares. Chained and tortured, Aether is thrust into a grotesque world where survival demands sacrifice and where hunger, pain, and fear blur the line between sanity and savagery.
In the shadows of this cursed continent, gods scheme, and monsters wear human faces. As Aether endures cruelty beyond reason, he begins to uncover the truth behind his existence... and the curse that binds him.
The gods offered chains dressed as salvation.
But Aether Noctvain rose from the dark,
carving vengeance in the veins of fate.
