The Nephalem System

In the year 600, after the Great Reset shattered Earth into ruins and city-states, humanity clings to survival under the Explorers Guild, a powerful organization tasked with reclaiming lost relics and battling monstrous creatures. Caelen, a 15-year-old orphan labeled “Gemless” for his weak mana, dreams only of surviving the Guild’s brutal entrance exam. But when a ruin’s collapse awakens the Nephalem system—a forbidden power fused with the AI spirit of his ancestor Zorak—Caelen becomes something more: half-angel, half-demon, marked by Vanta black and Lotus pink energies that could make him the Guild’s greatest asset or its deadliest target.Guided by Zorak’s cryptic warnings, Caelen hides his dual nature at the Guild Academy, where magical prodigies like the fire-wielding Kael mock his “weakness,” and the celestial devotee Lysa senses his secret. In the virtual Battle Royale RuinRush, Caelen dons the guise of Astral Kin—a white-haired warrior with mismatched red and pink eyes—unleashing his powers without fear of exposure. But as he trains his Ascended skills, the darker Fallen energy stirs, whispering rage that threatens to consume him.With corrupt teachers like Master Torv and elite Guild Rankers hunting for the ruin’s “forbidden energy,” Caelen must navigate bullies, forge alliances, and master his Nephalem abilities to survive. As the first-year mission looms, secrets unravel about the Great Reset, Elysium’s fall, and Zorak’s ancient sacrifice. But the real danger lies within: as tragedy and betrayal fuel Caelen’s anger, the Fallen side of his bloodline grows stronger, threatening to unravel everything he’s fought to protect. In a world where power is both salvation and damnation, can Caelen balance his dual nature—or will he become the monster the Guild fears?

It's inspired by a few different Series. thank you and I hope it's enjoyable for you despite its flaws.





I'm using this as a hobby so no promises of consistent uploads or a set release schedule. and I do apologize but I'm open to criticism just don't be a complete jerk about it.



currently AI is being used to format text, flesh out content such as dialog or connecting plot points together. I'm feeding it my ideas for arcs,character bios and descriptions, power ideas, world building ideas, and short stories I make or summaries of arcs/characters etc... and then taking what it gives me as a Draft. if I can't find problems with it and it's true to what I wanted I upload it here, this is a rather long process as I'm not paying for any particular AI and I'm learning how to write full stories or arcs outside of just plot ideas. so I'm learning with it. hopefully it doesn't take long but if there is continuity problems or grammatical errors, or inconsistencies please let me know I will do what I can to fix it. just can't promise a time frame on it. I thank you for your time and patience and I hope this no matter how rocky it starts, it turns into something pretty neat. even if I have to release another book and scrap this version due to so many rewrites or fixing. depending how deep it goes.





Thank you everyone and I'm looking forward to where this will be in time.
