Ashes of the Chosen



In a world where hope is a liability and power is a curse, what does it mean to be chosen?



The year is 6189. Earth is no longer a home—it’s a wasteland turned power farm, drained to fuel the luxurious lives of humans who escaped into space. The elite call themselves visionaries. Those left behind call them Outsiders.



To unlock limitless energy, the Intergalactic Ascension Council initiates Project Fractal—a mission to send human minds into the mysterious 4th Dimension, where thought shapes reality. But only the rarest children can survive the journey. Those children are bred in secrecy, tortured in orphanages, and selected through blood.



Solin was never supposed to be the chosen one. He kept his power hidden. He wanted to survive—not ascend.



But when his orphanage is massacred for failing to produce a candidate, Solin unleashes a power that manipulates time itself. Captured and declared the perfect Fractal subject, he is forced into a mission he never chose… while haunted by the loss of the one person who believed in him.



Elari, the girl who taught him to hope, is gone. Or so he thinks.



What Solin doesn’t know is that in the shadows of a ruined Earth, another survivor watches—Kael, once forgotten, now reborn with a vow:

“If I cannot be hope… I will become the illusion of it



As reality fractures, fates collide, and the boundary between man and machine crumbles, Solin must decide:

Will he bend time to escape the system—or become the weapon that shatters it?
