SYS: Aethris
Cael Harrow was bored with life—and life, it seemed, was just as bored of him. In a grey town where nothing ever changed, he coasted through school with effortless grades and zero effort, his days marked by the hum of classroom lights, the rattle of a tired milk van, and the dull ache of repetition. Fifteen years old and already unconvinced that the world had anything real to offer, Cael had stopped trying—until the world tried something on him.
One morning, he awakens to a strange, floating interface: a system that logs hydration levels, calorie intake, and a mysterious metric called Vein Resonance. No spells. No powers. No guidance. Just data. It's bureaucratic, clinical… and completely wrong.
Because Aetheris, the world he thought he knew, is only a surface layer—one with cracks beneath it. Cracks that leak magic. Cracks that governments regulate. Cracks that secret factions would kill to control.
Cael's system shouldn’t exist. And he’s not supposed to see what’s hidden.
But something ancient has stirred behind the code. And curiosity? Curiosity just might get him rewritten.
