Ares is ten years old when the world teaches him its first rule: survival is never fair. Born to an ordinary family living on the edge of the wilderness, Ares’s life is torn apart in a single night of blood and chaos. What follows is not a heroic journey, but a descent into the darkest corners of human cruelty—where monsters wear human faces, mercy is absent, and silence becomes the only shield a child can afford. Dragged into captivity with his mother, Ares witnesses the slow destruction of everything that once gave him warmth or safety. In a place ruled by violence and obedience, he learns to watch instead of cry, to remember instead of hope. Every word spoken, every weakness shown, every moment of inattention becomes a lesson etched into him far deeper than scars. As days turn into nightmares and trust dies one piece at a time, something changes within Ares. Not a sudden power, not salvation—but awareness. He begins to understand patterns. Authority. Fear. The way men justify cruelty, and the way silence enables it. When the fragile balance of his captors finally breaks, Ares is faced with a choice no child should ever make—one that will decide whether he remains a victim of the world, or becomes something shaped by it.

One day in Pangea, the sun fell and never came back up. Under the everlasting night sky, mystical and ethereal creatures appeared, powerful enough to wipe out hundreds of humans in seconds, and attacked. Millions of humans perished, and cities fell, replaced with small colonized encampments spread out across the single landmass. Until...in the dark sky, after exactly a month, the full moon finally appeared. A lucky...or unlucky few standing under the moon that day received a crescent sigil above their heart. From that day on, those marked individuals began receiving dreams...too real to be fake. And, one day, when they awoke, their dreams had come to life. Had a chest appeared in your dream? The very next day, you would run into it while looking for food in a forest. After traversing their dreams, both in sleep and in the real world, and solving them, they were granted Illusions, or supernatural powers, depending on their original dream. For the first time in history, humans could resist and fight back. Five years have passed since the first full moon, and Lux finds himself sitting under a moon...not just any moon, but a blood moon. However, his dream's mystery is far from...ideal.
