The Monarch Systems
In the final, cataclysmic hour of the dying world Aethel, six young warriors make a desperate gamble. As demonic beasts and a nihilistic cult overwhelm their last stronghold, the team's genius, Mina, activates a jury-rigged dimensional device. The cost is absolute: two of them sacrifice their lives to hold the line, while the remaining four—Damian, Rooley, Mina, and Karacus—are violently cast through the void, their souls shattered and their bodies lost.
They awaken scattered across Lutharia, a world of magical modernity where skycars streak between crystalline spires and power is rigidly stratified by the Universal System's Orders. Each is reborn into a new life, bound to a personal, hidden Monarch System born from their fractured souls and unique affinities.
Damian, the stoic strategist, becomes a disgraced noble's son with a "negligible" Gravity affinity, secretly cultivating the power of a Monarch of Darkness from the shadows of an elite academy.
Mina, the brilliant engineer, is reborn as a witch-apprentice, her intellect now channeled into primal sorcery and the nascent art of Sky-Weaving.
Rooley, the calm temporal adept, lives as a clockmaker's son, his broken time affinity masked by a Summoner's bond with a strange, time-stabilizing serpent.
Karacus, the loyal warrior, finds his soul merged with that of a Frost Dragon hatchling, becoming a hidden guardian perched in the mountains overlooking the city.
Their goals are survival, reunion, and the mending of their damaged souls. But they soon discover Lutharia is no safe haven. It is a frontline in a hidden cosmic war. Demons—parasitic entities from dying dimensions—infiltrate society, while the Vex, a hyper-intelligent, hive-minded race from a hostile reality, seek to overwrite their world with cold, geometric perfection.
As Damian navigates the cutthroat politics of Aethelgard Academy, Mina unlocks ancient secrets, Rooley hunts for a path to his friends, and Karacus stands silent watch, they must:
Master their dual identities and cultivate their hidden Monarch powers.
Find the rare resources needed to heal their souls and unlock their true, world-shaking affinities.
Uncover the sinister forces moving within Lutharia, from demonic cults to corporate conspiracies.
Prepare for the inevitable moment when the war at the edge of reality crashes into their new home.
