Ascension Of Shadows
Hundreds of years ago, the world almost ended — and no, I'm not talking about the usual stories of monsters appearing from nowhere and ravaging the land like in fantasy novels, but instead at the hands of humans first. The monsters only came afterwards.
Once various humans began developing strange abilities, the world was plunged into war and chaos once again, the following years were filled with bloodshed and uncontrolled violence — with no definitive victor — and then the monsters attacked.
A gargantic towershot out directly from the center of the planet, not long after smaller replicas followed in every major city around the world. The tower was both a boon and a curse to humanity, as it provided a way for those who awakened powers — the Enlightened, as we call them now — to grow stronger, becoming Ascenders. However, it also brought a flood of otherworldly races and monsters into our world.
After hundreds of years, the world has finally stabilized, with four main countries acting as the dominant global powers.
In this dangerous world, a lowly street rat who was lucky enough to achieve Enlightenment is flung into a life of dread, danger, and suffering.
Kalon, begins life on the opposite end of this world from its privileged inhabitants. After experiencing Enlightenment, Kalon registers at an Ascender academy. He hopes to escape poverty, and live a better life, but his awakening reveals something far stranger than an ordinary supernatural ability.
What mystery could Kalon uncover.
