Thrones in Ruins: The Battle of the Gods

Wesley_Calixto
In 2018, at the height of the digital age, humanity believed it had mastered the world. Data replaced belief. Protocols claimed to explain everything. Democracies spoke of control. Then, what should never have returned answered. The collapse did not come in silence — it was broadcast, debated, and denied until it could no longer be ignored. Institutions fell, leaders collapsed, and a world fractured by ambition was divided. From the chaos rose the 24 Empires, ruled by beings the world would come to know as the Celestial Sovereigns. There are no nations left. Only territories shaped by divine will, where each empire imposes its law, its faith, and its war. Decades later, humanity endures amid fragile alliances, hidden conflicts, and thrones raised upon ruins — both digital and sacred. Now, as even the gods begin to move beyond their thrones, the true fate of the world is about to be claimed. This story is originally written in Portuguese and is being translated into English.

The General's Daughter: The Mission

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"
