The Throne Beneath The Veil

SteelCrB
A hundred years ago, the world nearly collapsed in an event that would come to be known as The First Veil Incident. The sky opened. Not literally—but enough to make humanity realize something terrifying: Reality is not stable. Since that day, certain people began dreaming of the same place. A dark expanse filled with the shadows of cities never built by human hands. Some who dreamed woke with strange abilities. Others never woke at all. Mysterious artifacts began emerging from the ruins of old cities, carrying power that defied scientific explanation. Secret organizations rose in their wake. Some sought to seal these forces away. Others hungered to control them. And there were those who believed humanity should never have touched them at all. In a world fractured by these secrets, a scavenger of artifacts named Kael Ardent discovered a black book without a title. It promised no power. It offered no knowledge. Instead, it bore a single sentence that changed everything: "We have finally found you." From that moment, Kael realized something far more frightening than the Veil itself. Perhaps the world was not waiting for someone to save it. Perhaps the world was waiting for someone… to replace it.
