They burned his mother for dreaming. Now he’ll burn the world for forgetting.
Kael was twelve when the soldiers laughed as they dragged his mother into the street.
She screamed. They watched. He bled in silence.
Years later, Kael makes a pact with something older than gods — a whispering shadow that feeds on pain.
In a world ruled by systems, magic, and smiling monsters wearing human faces, Kael is done surviving.
He devours his past. He commands the forgotten dead. And soon, the living will kneel.
But the deeper his power grows, the more he loses himself. And something inside him — something ancient and cruel — wants more than vengeance.
It wants the world.
