Synopsis
When democracies fell, politicians and presidents succumbed to ambition. Some were assassinated, others betrayed their nations for ephemeral power. From the chaos rose the 24 Empires, ruled by sovereigns that the world came to call the Celestial Sovereigns. There are no more countries, only territories shaped by the will of these beings. Each empire dictates its law, its faith, and its war. Amid fragile alliances and hidden conflicts, humanity survives under thrones raised on ruins. Now, on this board of gods and mortals, the battle for the true destiny of the world is about to begin. This story is originally written in Portuguese and is being translated into English. I appreciate your understanding and feedback to keep the story faithful to its original version.

Chapter 1 - Introduction — The New World

Voice of the God – Observer of Ereon

Even among mortals marked by destiny, Ereon stood out long before his awakening. At only thirteen, he trained in the shadows of an orphanage turned into a school of assassins, mastering the art of death before he even understood the true extent of the power awaiting him.

Humanity, fragile after the Century of the Fall, found in the God-Kings rulers who could shape destinies with a single gesture. Each empire mirrors its god: from the Hellenic splendor of Zeus's Empire to the merciless dominions of other thrones.

Ereon bore the mark that would herald his awakening, though he still did not grasp its meaning. His stealthy steps and silent training molded him to survive the Abyss — a trial few humans can endure. Those who fail perish, and the survivors carry the black mark, a reminder that they once defied the very limits imposed by divinity.

From the shadows, I will watch him. Every choice, every step. The future of the New World may very well depend on him.

Yet he is still only a child caught between death and divinity. How will he endure the wars to come? What will he do when the world demands every fragment of his strength?

⚠️ Author's NoteThis is not a story built solely on frantic battles. If you begin reading only seeking fights, you may miss what truly matters. Every word, every glance, even silence itself carries hints and choices that shape destiny. Beyond the clashes, this is also a political war between empires and gods — and only those who pay attention to the details will glimpse the true battle.
