Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE: Before Everything Collapsed

He was not born from a womb, but from despair. In a place nameless, within a tear in reality itself—ripped open by the wars of dimensions—the infant was found, discarded in a black plastic bag, surrounded by the corpses of failed experiments. No cry. Only eyes, empty as the abyss, staring at a fractured sky that should not exist in this world.

For years, he survived in ways that even demons would recoil from. He devoured scraps left behind. He drank from blood-soaked puddles. He killed small creatures with tiny hands, frozen by the ash-rain. He never learned to speak. Only to growl, to claw, to weep in silence. He was raised by the void.

At the age of seven, they caught him. The Crack Worshippers. They called him the "Seed of Dimensions" and etched symbols into his body—symbols that cleaved the soul in two. He endured. He did not die. They labeled him an anomaly. They implanted a 'panel' within him—a set of attributes that grew not from discipline, but from suffering. Each wound strengthened him. Each scream extended his limits.

He fled the final ritual, his body scorched by the chaotic energies of a crumbling world. He ran, until the very fabric of existence tore apart and the world itself changed. He found two children: Lian and Lira. They were unafraid. They taught him to speak. They gave him a name: Kael. It was the first time he had ever laughed. But the world would not allow light to linger.

In the hunt by human factions, Kael went seeking sustenance. He returned only to find blood-soaked earth and Lian's body hanging from a tower. Lira lay broken in the flames. Something inside him shattered. Then burned. Then vanished. He did not weep. He simply walked away, leaving the world in ashes.

POWER SYSTEM: Dimensional Attributes and Fractures

Every being in this world possesses three dimensions of attributes:

1. Physical (Body): Strength, speed, and endurance.

2. Energy (Soul): Supernatural energy capacity, soul regeneration.

3. Mental (Mind): Mental resilience, awareness, and control over anomalies.

The scale is decimal-based:

1.0 = Normal human.

1.5 = Beyond human limits.

2.0+ = Abnormal.

3.0+ = Entity.

4.0+ = Dimensional Catastrophe.

5.0+ = Reality Transcender.

Kael possesses an infinite panel. He grows without limits. For every +1.0 to an attribute, he gains a bonus of 0.1 points to add to any dimension of his choice. Beyond 5.0, the system mutates into Reality Distortion, where power can no longer be quantified by mere numbers.

THE WORLD

The world is divided into:

Stable Zones: Controlled by humans and organizations such as Sky Eyes.

Fractures: Chaotic zones where natural laws crumble.

Limbotic Dimensions: Beyond the boundaries of reality, where souls are trapped and time is but an illusion.

Sky Eyes is the leading organization managing weapons of anomaly and fracture-based technology. They hunt Kael, the weapon they could never control.

Other factions include:

Crack Worshippers: They revere the destruction of reality as a divine resurrection.

Distortion Hunters: They exterminate entities like Kael.

Keepers of the Old Fate: Guardians of the cosmic balance.
