The apocalypse didn’t destroy the world. It erased knowledge. Civilization collapsed, magic replaced science, and monsters inherited the land. Humanity survived—but only barely. I was reborn into that world. I learned quickly that power here is inefficient, fragmented, and fundamentally flawed. Mages store mana in fragile circles. Aura users flood their bodies without understanding control. I chose a different path. I connected mind, heart, and core into a single system—Arcane Soul—and built Chessmaster, an operating system designed to treat reality like a board and every conflict like a game of strategy. Gravity answers my calculations. Flesh obeys my intent. Magic bends when properly optimized. Then I made one mistake. A ritual went wrong. My memories shattered. I woke up surrounded by corpses, blood on my hands, and consequences I couldn’t remember creating. Now I move forward carefully. This world is full of gods, monsters, academies, and ancient entities pretending they can’t die. They believe power is about talent, lineage, or destiny. They are wrong. I don’t need destiny. I only need time.

In a world where kingdoms fight for power, resources are scarce, and monsters terrorize forests, swamps, and forgotten lands, survival is a dangerous game. Humans, elves, dwarves, vampires, and werewolves coexist amid ancient wars, deep inequalities, and scars that never truly heal. Akel is a young mercenary of few words, known for his red eyes and an ability that defies the ordinary. Reserved and distrustful, he carries a dark past that he would rather keep buried, revealing only what is necessary to move forward. In cities where danger lurks in every shadow, no one can hide everything forever. As monsters and men struggle for power and survival, Akel will have to face not only external enemies, but also the dark secrets threatening to consume him from within. In a world where a blade alone is not enough to guarantee survival, the true challenge will be discovering who to trust and how far he is willing to go to survive.

"This is a world-first story. The history is the story. Stay with it." The world has ended before. Not in myth. Not in metaphor. It ended completely — gods unmade reality reaching for something they were never meant to hold, and existence corrected itself the only way it knows how. It took fifty thousand years to forget. Another hundred thousand to rebuild. It is about to happen again. This is not one story. It is many — stitched together across millennia, told through the eyes of those who lived inside a world that carries its own wounds forward. A nameless being waking in a summoning circle, learning what it means to exist. A woman who hesitated when she should have fought, and traded a year of her life for knowledge that is quietly unmaking her. A girl in an apothecary being handed a promise she doesn't yet understand. They do not know each other. Not exactly. But the world remembers. It always remembers. Stay long enough and you will see how the threads connect — how every choice echoes, how every name given in love becomes a weight carried forward, how the pattern emerging beneath the history is not a mystery to be solved but a wound that never fully closed. Knowledge is the weapon. History is the scar. And somewhere in the silence between chapters — You will realize you already care.

Notice 2: I will be fixing the grammar of the chapter within my story, around 5 per day, starting from 25/05/2025.

Logs and other special chapters are not included in this five-chapter count. Notice 3: All corrections are done.
