Godfall Heir

One hundred and twenty years ago, the world ended—not with fire or war, but with the arrival of a god. No one knows where it came from, nor why it descended upon Earth. Only that its presence twisted reality, birthing countless abominations that poured across the planet and wiped out nearly half of humanity in a matter of years. Entire continents fell silent. Cities became graveyards. Civilization stagnated as survival became the only law. Then, just as suddenly as it appeared, the god vanished. What it left behind was a broken world. Seventy percent of Earth is now a forbidden land—infested with monsters, warped ecosystems, and ruins filled with relics far more dangerous than any beast. Humanity survives in isolated strongholds, clinging to remnants of the old world while relying on a new hope: awakened individuals who manifest supernatural abilities and grow stronger by facing the horrors beyond the walls. Everyone has their own path to power. Some train. Some inherit bloodlines. Some make pacts with forces better left unnamed. But Aethyr is different. After a near-fatal encounter, the protagonist discovers strange fragments scattered throughout the ruins—objects that resonate with his very existence. By absorbing them, he gains power far beyond what any awakened human should possess. His strength grows rapidly, unnaturally, defying established limits. Yet with every fragment he claims, the world seems to react. Nightmares intensify. Monsters grow restless. Ancient ruins awaken. Unbeknownst to him, these fragments are not relics of the old world, nor remnants of lost technology. They are pieces of the god that once nearly annihilated humanity—shards of a broken divinity sealed away after its disappearance. And the more fragments he gathers, the closer he comes to completing something that should never exist again. As factions clash over resources, secrets, and power, and as humanity pushes deeper into the monster-infested wastelands, the protagonist walks a dangerous path—one that blurs the line between savior and harbinger of ruin. For in a world built upon the corpse of a fallen god, the greatest threat may not be the monsters lurking in the dark… …but the heir unknowingly destined to bring godfall to its end.
