Whispers of the Withered Realm

ptrage
In a realm shattered by forgotten wars and buried gods, strength defines truth, and only the chosen ascend. Inheritance grounds the ambitions of the talented, bloodlines dictate potential, and the heavens reward those they favor. But what becomes of the ones whom heaven ignores? Kael was born without a name, without talent, and without a future—just another overlooked soul in a crumbling village beneath the ancient Mount Ghar’zul. In a world ruled by cultivation, he possesses no qi, no elemental affinity, and no recognized spirit. But where others see emptiness, Kael sees possibility. Refusing to accept the world’s judgment, Kael embarks on a journey not of destiny, but of will. Through observation, struggle, and an unyielding hunger to carve his own path, he forges a unique cultivation method—melding the soul, body, and qi into a unified whole that defies the established laws of the realm. Along the way, Kael uncovers the remnants of forgotten legends, confronts the true nature of power, and discovers that some inheritances were never meant to be received—but born anew. As realms collide, ancient beasts awaken, and buried truths rise, Kael must stand not only against gods and tyrants, but also against the path fate demanded he follow. For he is not heaven’s chosen. He is its challenger.

The One That Mends A Broken Heart

Have you ever seen enough "love" around you that makes you question if it's still real or not? Are other people's heartaches enough for you to consider closing that aspect in your life? Is the history of "love" in your family enough to make you realize, love isn't what the books tell you? But, would you really deny the true meaning of "loving somebody" just to prevent yourself from future heartbreak? Or would you consider opening your heart to such probability? Achan Allare, a boy who spent his life running from his father’s legacy. A man once revered as the greatest Babaylan, a Shaman. Yet, despite this glory, he hated this man, ever since he could remember, for the truth: his father was no miracle worker, only a con artist who preyed on desperate souls. And when that deception caught up with him, it cost him his life. Now, Achan lives a quiet, ordinary life, far removed from superstition and false hope. Until they come, an influential family who's desperate enough to believe in such supposed gifts. A young man, dressed in suit and tie, took him and demand Achan take his father’s place, to continue the practice of healing, to restore the health of their company's sole heir. How would he convince these desperate souls when they are at the edge of their breaking point. No natural nor scientific remedy could ever save their heir. He knows the price of pretending. But, could he actually not do anything? As he resists, he uncovers unsettling secrets about his father, about the power and influence these people wield, and about the unseen forces that may not be fraudulent after all. With his freedom slipping away, Achan must decide: fight against a truth he never wanted to believe, or embrace the very deception that destroyed his father before it destroys him too?
