Somewhere in Verath's oldest records, there is a date. On that date, eight people across the world stopped being who they were. Not died. Not disappeared. Simply, became someone else. Overnight. Simultaneously. Without explanation. The Aetheric Accord classified it as a natural anomaly and buried the report. They were not wrong to be afraid of it. One girl, enrolled at the floating Academy above Varenk, begins pulling at the thread of that date. She doesn't know why it feels familiar. She doesn't know why the investigation feels less like uncovering something new and more like remembering something she was never supposed to forget. She doesn't know that the person at the centre of everything she is uncovering has known her face since before this world existed. She doesn't know that a different world paid for her to be here. She doesn't know yet.

Story Short scene: So, doctor, you’re saying that I can never get a “hard-on”-slash– “erection” –slash- “boner”? Doctor: No, no, and a definite no. Doctor, you don’t have to so sure about it, medical miracles happen all the time. Doctor: A desperate creature is always hopeful, but let me dumb it down for you. You have never masturbated or had sex or ever ejaculated in the 40 years of your life. Your sperms crystallized, which turned your balls into rock hard fossils. Your hormonal production went ‘kaput’. By the way, kaput means broken or useless. I know what kaput means! Doctor: Sheesh for a man with crystal balls you are super spunky. As I was saying your entire sex system is ruined. Being suppressed of sexual thoughts or sexual actions for so long, your body forgot all about sex. Your body forgot how to get a hard-on. That’s the end of my counsel and as a sympathy gift for the man with the useless d*ck, I advise you against using the little blue pill aka Viagra. I know that Viagra is a blue pill. Doctor: You know a lot of useless information for a man of your situation. Well keep away from medical stimulation for your broken d*ck, as the most hopeful thing that you can get from any sex medication is high blood pressure and a heart attack, but hey the news channels will have a field day covering the news of you being dead from trying to get a hard-on. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Doctor, I will be leaving… Doctor: Ha-ha-ha-ha, nurse, send the next patient after 5 minutes. I will need some time to laugh. Female voice: Hey don’t beat yourself up over your non-existent sex life. Though miracles are not that common, they do happen! What! Who?! Who just talked to me! Female voice: Don’t look around, silly, you cannot see me unless I allow you to look at me. [Gulp] who are you? Female voice: Me? I’m a Goddess, hehe.

Gwendolynn was raised by humans. Thinking she was just like any other human, she never thought she was, in fact, an elf until she began seeing the similarities between this mythical creature, and herself. Upon discovering her origins, she starts to learn who she is, and what her race is capable of. Finding out why Elves have gone extinct, Gwendolynn has to decide what she will do with this information, and what her place is within the strands of fate. This story is going to come about in no particular order because it's based on an outline that's still being worked on. This work in particular is actually a bit of a collaboration. A friend has inspired me to write this work, so while I am doing it for her; it is still my work. Both her and I really hope you enjoy this adventure. ^^

This story began as a question: what if the boundaries of humanity were broken overnight? What if survival wasn’t just about endurance, but about evolving, adapting, and finding power in a world that no longer plays by the rules? Kael’s journey is not just about fighting monsters—it’s about confronting the emptiness inside, the choices we make when everything familiar collapses, and the cost of becoming stronger than we ever imagined. The world you are about to enter is dangerous, unpredictable, and at times, unforgiving. Monsters lurk in shadows, humans are both prey and predator, and power comes at a price. I hope you enjoy walking alongside Kael through this chaotic, thrilling Seoul—a city you think you know, yet will never see the same way again. Remember: in this world, survival is not enough. You have to rise. — Author
