AshLand Chronicles

On a day like any other, Nicotine had just secured a dream job—a fresh start, a reason to celebrate. But as he looked up to the sky on his way home, the world changed forever.

Meteors rained from the heavens, bringing with them death... and something far worse.

That was the last thing he remembered.



Five hundred years later, Nicotine awakens in a strange, broken world reborn as a young man with no status, no name, and only a mysterious pendant his father gave him in a past life.

The Earth he once knew is gone.

Now, survival belongs to those who awaken their Martial Souls powers drawn from rare herbs found in the deadly Ashlands, dungeon-like zones that first appeared during the apocalypse.

Excommunicated, forgotten, and alone, Nicotine makes a vow:

"If the heavens strike me again, I’ll rise even higher."



In a world where strength rules, secrets of the old Earth lie buried, and only the daring venture into the Ashlands... will he uncover the truth behind the apocalypse, his pendant, and the powers that now sleep within him?
