Resonance of the Unchosen

Anomalies—fractures in reality—began tearing through cities without warning. Science failed to explain what could not be measured, and panic spread. Then he appeared. A masked figure with the impossible ability to close the rifts. The world called him salvation. The world built a myth. The world named him Vale. While cities lit candles and whispered his name like prayer, Aria had no room for magic or miracles in her life. She watched from a distance, refusing to join the hysteria. Until the day an Anomaly opens in front of her. Until the fog thickens. Until Vale’s gaze lingers a second longer than it should, as if something has shifted. Now she must confront a truth she refuses to name. The world may be breaking. And she is no longer certain she is only a spectator. ________________________________________________________ This is a slow-burn Hero × Civilian story with psychological tension and gradual character development and layered World building.
