The day the sky tore open, Arin lost everything.
Monsters flooded the city. His aunt — the only family he had left — died protecting a child that wasn’t him. And as the world crumbled around him, something inside Arin awakened… something cold, violent, and cursed.
Now, six months later, he lives in the shadows — another forgotten face in a shelter full of orphans. He delivers packages by day… and leaves flowers on her grave by night.
They call the awakened chosen. Blessed.
But Arin knows better.
His power came not from purpose — but from pain.
And it’s only getting stronger.
