When a bolt of lightning strikes Alex down in the middle of the street, he thinks his life is over. But instead of death, he wakes up in a world of swords, sorcery, and ancient bloodlines. Even stranger — he’s no longer himself, but a 15-year-old boy from a disgraced noble family with no land, no power, and no future. Then the System activates. A mysterious power buried within him, the System allows Alex to simulate entire lives, experience different paths, make different choices… and earn real rewards from the lives he’s only virtually lived — magic spells, mastery of skills, deep knowledge, even muscle memory. Reborn as Caelum Velmire, Alex must navigate a world of treacherous politics, forbidden magic, and monstrous threats. With every simulation, he grows stronger — and closer to uncovering the reason he was brought here. But each simulated life leaves behind more than power… Some leave scars. Some leave questions. And some refuse to stay in the past.

The sprawl is a bleak and unforgiving place located under the mysterious ruins of Russia. Artyom and his canine companion Rose, face trial and tribulation daily, in efforts to survive, and ultimately inadvertantly uncover the truth about the dark world they live in and how it came to be...

For a thousand years the world has been dying so slowly no one noticed. Magic is a faint, gatekept craft; the past was greater than the present, and everyone has made peace with the long decline, never knowing it was a choice. Once there was a true source of all magic, and it sealed itself away to keep a hungry darkness from ever reaching it, freezing the world and dooming its own makers to fade. Now the seal is failing. Strange things wash up on the western shores; the powerful manoeuvre over a board they don't realise is about to tip; and four hidden powers begin a quiet war over a single question: should the way to the source be opened, kept shut by a lie, or guarded by the few who know the truth? Caleb is a dockside nobody hiding a strangeness he believes is sickness, the living ember of a magic the world thinks extinct, and the one person who can reach the source without being corrupted by the darkness that wants it too. Sera is a noble daughter of the faithful north, raised to revere the lost age; she will discover she has misunderstood her whole life. As one learns he was made to believe he was no one and the other learns everything she was certain of is a lie, they are drawn together from opposite ends of a breaking world, hunted by those who would use them, hide them, or destroy them. To save everything, they will have to sail west, off the edge of every map, toward the truth the world sealed away, and decide whether some things are better left buried.
