{Check out my new novel, I Won't Forgive You!} 'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero.

Emir had possessed six abilities for some time now, deliberately postponing the unlocking of the seventh.
At first, this delay stemmed from his ongoing process of Consolidation—an essential phase where a Celestial's body had to fully adapt to each newly unlocked ability before it could be claimed as truly theirs.
Without this, unlocking additional abilities would compromise the Celestial's future, as their foundation would be shaky, brittle, and thin.
Their Pathing control and efficiency would be greatly affected as well.
However, with the consolidation over, he could now consider unlocking the seventh ability, something that he had been capable of doing ever since his first Embodiment quote unquote level-up.
'Yeah… this isn't ideal, but it has to be done. Though… I should do it later. Let's finish up with the students first.'
