Breath Unearthed

Khalen Rasheen’s exile ends where it was always meant to: beneath a prison colony, in a collapsing chamber, staring up at something that should not exist. A skull made of crystal. A violet pulse. A voice like a blade, sharp and amused. It calls itself the part of humanity that refused to die quietly, and it offers him a bargain. In exchange for what he can do with fire, it will teach him how to survive a world built on Breath, a force that moves through people and stone like current through wire. It powers wards, engines, and cities, and it tempts everyone to draw a little more, to test what happens when limits bend. But Khalen’s world isn’t merely broken. It’s curated. Ancient anchor paths scar the land where a civilization once stood, and the ruins are missing, not ruined, as if someone lifted them out of history. Delvers call it discovery. Archivists call it proof. The Core calls it bait. Because the artifacts are real, and some were designed to make you more than human. He’s not hunting relics for glory. He’s hunting them because he’s learned being human is not enough to keep anyone alive. Khalen can run, bleed, and try to stay human, or he can reach for the relics and become the kind of answer the Core understands. -------- Style note: Chapters run longer than typical web fiction (about 3k–5k words). Scenes play out cinematically with complete arcs, not short serial beats. Tight dialogue, strong sensory detail, and worldbuilding revealed through motion and consequence. Small physical details and offhand lines tend to pay off. Release plan: 1–2 chapters daily. Backlog: 700+ pages drafted and polished, this is an upload schedule, not writing-as-I-go. Series scope: 4 trilogies (12 books), each arc mapped from the start. Worldbuilding: 1M+ words of lore, codex notes, and historical threads already written behind the scenes. If you’re having fun, follow/favorite for updates, and tell me what scene hit hardest, I read everything.

Aetherfall

In the mountain heartlands of Aetherfall, there exists a state that should not exist. The Falkerona State is not the strongest, nor the richest but it endures. Its knights protect without cruelty. Its rulers judge without arrogance. Its people live ordinary lives under an extraordinary kind of care. At the center of this quiet miracle is a boy. Christopher Falkerona is ten years old curious, mischievous, and painfully observant. From palace rooftops and lesson halls, he watches a world that feels safe, fair, and unchanging. He sees knights train not to dominate, but to restrain. He sees magic used to heal rather than to conquer. He sees his parents carry power as responsibility, not privilege. And he believes this is how the world works. But peace is not proof of safety. It is proof of vigilance. Beyond the mountains, monsters stir. Beyond the borders, factions scheme. Beyond mortal sight, ancient horrors wait patiently for cracks to form. As Chris grows, so does his understanding of power, of sacrifice, of the unseen cost paid so ordinary lives can remain quiet. He learns that strength is not loud, that restraint is harder than violence, and that some burdens are carried so children never have to notice them. Until one day, they do. This is not a story of a prodigy born invincible. It is the story of a child raised in protection, shaped by loss, and forced slowly, painfully to grow into a world that will not wait for him to be ready. Kingdom building. Weak to strong. Tragedy earned, not rushed. In Aether Fall, the fall does not come suddenly. It comes after you understand what is being lost.
