Ashthorne Dominion: Residual Thread

Death should have been the end. Caelum Veylor, the silent mind behind countless war victories, was betrayed by the very commanders he uplifted. Left to burn alive in a collapsing strategy chamber, he carved a forbidden sigil into the floor—an ancient ritual meant to anchor his soul to existence through sheer will alone. He refused to die to incompetence. The ritual worked… imperfectly. Caelum awakens in a foreign world, inhabiting the frail and dying body of a disgraced noble child—also named Caelum Veylor—who perished during the entrance exam of Ashthorne Dominion Academy, the deadliest academy in the Syldros Empire. But something unnatural has taken root inside him. A Sigil that is not a Sigil. A thread that should not exist. A Proto-Sigil, born from a soul damaged during forced reincarnation, capable of devouring essence, stealing memories, mutating through anomalies, and interacting with reality on a conceptual level. The empire fears forbidden sigils. The Academy hides cosmic secrets. Ancient beings stir beneath the ground. The noble houses sharpen their knives. And in this world of politics, corruption, and annihilation, Caelum wears the perfect mask—quiet, polite, weak, harmless. Underestimating him becomes the empire’s greatest mistake. With genius sharpened by death, a soul held together with stolen threads, and a destiny tied to a sleeping Transcendent corpse beneath the Academy, Caelum begins his ascent. He does not want revenge. He does not seek redemption. He seeks perfection. And he will break this world apart to achieve it. When a villain builds himself into a god, who can stop him?

Architect's Resonance

In a world quietly reorganized by DHARA—a national system designed to shape talent, competition, and the future—eleven-year-old Aryan Kumar moves through life like an anomaly waiting to be understood. Quiet, unreadable, and distant, he carries a mind that occasionally rises beyond human limits… and collapses under the cost. When stressed, his thoughts sharpen into impossible clarity—patterns, variables, human motives, the hidden mechanics of a room—everything aligns. But every moment of brilliance tears something inside him, leaving behind splitting headaches and a fear he never voices. And beneath that fractured genius sleeps an Other Side—a cold, instinctive consciousness that awakens only when Aryan’s mind begins to break. As DHARA pushes students through domains, competitions, and ruthless expectations, Aryan finds himself drawn into a landscape far bigger than school rankings: a silent war of talent, ambition, and unseen forces guiding the world’s balance. Whispers spread of a pattern in Aryan’s assessment scores. Teachers notice shifts they can’t explain. And somewhere in the background, a hidden architect evaluates him—not as a child, but as a variable that might tilt the world. Every step Aryan takes brings him closer to that truth. Every rise of his power demands a price. Every failure of control brings the Other Side closer to the surface. Between genius and collapse, guidance and manipulation, destiny and resistance, Aryan must navigate the domain he has chosen— —while the world quietly braces for the resonance he is destined to create.
