Ren Solas was only ten years old when it happened.
One moment he was in his classroom, laughing with his friends. The next, he was standing in the middle of a strange city square, surrounded by glowing crystals, floating banners, and people who definitely weren’t human—elves with silver eyes, dwarves in iron armor, and beastfolk with fur and tails.
He wasn’t dreaming.
He had somehow been transported to Aetherion, a massive city of magic and mystery where humans, elves, dwarves, and creatures from every corner of the world live together—sometimes peacefully, sometimes not.
Ren doesn’t know how he got here.
He doesn’t know how to get home.
And worst of all—he’s just a kid in a world that sees him as either useless… or dangerous.
With no powers, no weapons, and no idea who summoned him, Ren struggles to survive in a world full of guild politics, magical relics, and ancient prophecies. But beneath the city’s surface, something is stirring. Whispers say a “child from beyond” will change the world—or destroy it.
Ren never wanted to be part of anyone’s legend.
He just wants to go home to his mom and sister.
But if this world won’t send him back…
Then he’ll have to carve his own path forward.
Because no matter what this world throws at him…
there’s no way back to Earth.
Really enjoying this so far! Ren’s story is emotional and interesting. The world he’s stuck in is full of cool magic and mystery. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
