Eren Vail has always felt too much. The world doesn’t just touch him....it floods him. Every heartbeat, every whisper of emotion from the people around him....grief, lust, guilt, rage....seeps into his skin like static until he can’t tell what’s his and what isn’t. In Vareth, a neon-drenched city built on forgotten sins and fractured hearts, emotion is power....and Eren is its unwilling vessel.

They call it the Pulse. Some say it’s the city’s soul. Others say it’s a curse. For Eren, it’s both. The Pulse binds him to every secret the city hides, every desire it buries, every sorrow it refuses to feel. And the more he feels, the less human he becomes.

Then Kael appears. A man with eyes like silence and a presence that cuts through the noise. He calls Eren by name....as if he’s known him before, in another lifetime, under another sky. And the moment their paths cross, the Pulse stirs. The city starts to remember.

Now, the line between emotion and power begins to blur. Old ghosts wake beneath the neon streets. The Pulse grows hungrier. And as Eren unravels the truth about what he is.....and what Kael might be....the city that feeds on feeling threatens to devour them both.

Because in Vareth, even darkness has a pulse.

This isn't a story about heroes or villains. It's about the spaces in between...  the quiet, messy pulse that keeps a city like Vareth alive. It's about the way emotion can build or break us, how silence can feel louder than thunder, and how sometimes the things that hurt the most are the only things that make us feel alive.


Eren's story isn't soft, but it's human. It's about connection, control, and the parts of ourselves we're too afraid to touch. The world he lives in isn't kind ....but it listens.


If you've ever felt too much, too deeply, or too quietly .... this story is for you.


Take your time here. Let it breathe. Let it sting a little.


And even in the darkest veins of Vareth... something still pulses.
