Throne of the Rune Kings

The world was ordinary… until it broke. Cracks tore through the sky, and from a foreign world known as Nexus, rune-marked beasts descended, beginning an invasion that forever changed human history. Ian lost everything during the first attack. His mother, gravely injured while protecting him, fell into a coma from which she never awoke. Years later, humanity prepares for a silent war between two worlds. Young people are forcibly recruited and trained in special academies before being sent to Nexus—a world where power is never given freely, and death means never returning. In Nexus exists a universal rune-based system that evolves from Runes to Crests, Myths, Epics, and finally Chronicles. Yet the system never reveals its full truth at once. Only those who achieve real feats are allowed to glimpse what lies beyond. Ian does not seek glory. He does not seek heroism. He seeks a power, a method, or a hidden truth capable of bringing his mother back—even if the price is his own humanity. In Nexus, every choice leaves scars. And survival itself is a victory.
