Synopsis
Worlds split. Realms bleed. And through it all flows Prāṇna — the breath of life—the last thread holding existence together. Only the rarest warriors can master it, soul-forging weapons with focus so absolute that a whisper of doubt shatters it. Each strike carves a piece of their life. Here rivers remember. storms listen. stone itself may rise to protect… or crush. A place where heroes are not born but forged in fire, in silence, in sacrifice. When the sky stops mid-breath and the wind chokes on silence… the next chapter is about to be written in blood. Because beyond the light stands Kali, the Devourer of Ages — his hunger so vast, even time gnaws its tail to escape him, and his blood-clan, the Corrupted Lords bound by fragments of his will, his shadow touches every corner of the realms. Face them all… —and the world itself may hold its breath.

Chapter 1 - Brahma's Apex: The Creator's Peak

For centuries beyond memory, Brahma's Apex stood as the pinnacle of creation: seas that sang, forests that breathed light, cities threaded with living architecture—a planet where life flourished in impossible splendor.

But that age is gone, reduced to ash and memory.

Now the skies churn with the Kali Army. Refugees, they say, from a dying universe or a lightless void—no one knows for sure.

Some say they descended from blackened skies, beings that feed on flesh and memory, twisting the living into husks. 

Their most vile weapon is deception itself—a waking nightmare.

They wear the faces of loved ones as obscene masks, their familiar voices hollow, their grasping hands never their own.

But against this silence, a fragile resistance ignites. A handful of people awaken to the planet's pulse—Prāṇna Warriors who can bind their own life-force to a weapon. They fight with awful grace—not as mere warriors, but as martyrs, each a spark of their life for tomorrows—for the chance to save the world's.

They are the final barrier between the hungry dead and the last wonders of the world, their weapons blazing with spirit in a war whose price is their very essence.
