Threads of Supremacy
In a world where power is not taken, but woven, supremacy belongs to those who can pull the right threads—of fate, will, and blood.
Aerthos is governed by invisible laws: magic bound by conceptual weight, authority shaped by belief, and strength measured not just in force, but in what reality is willing to tolerate. Kings fall not to swords, but to decisions made too late. Gods watch, but do not intervene—unless the balance demands it.
At the center of this world stands Aren Locke, a gifted yet dangerously detached young man who believes one thing above all:
If he does not choose, someone worse will.
Thrown into a brutal system that forges leaders, soldiers, and rulers under the guise of order, Aren is forced to confront a truth few are willing to face—power does not corrupt; it reveals. Each step forward tightens unseen threads around him, binding him to outcomes he cannot escape.
As factions collide, ancient forces stir, and morality erodes under pressure, Aren must decide what kind of supremacy he is willing to claim:
• Rule through control
• Rule through sacrifice
• Or rule by becoming something the world cannot justify killing
With allies who may one day become enemies, and enemies who speak uncomfortable truths, Aren’s ascent reshapes not only his fate—but the structure of Aerthos itself.
Because in the end, supremacy is not about standing above others.
It is about deciding who is allowed to fall.
"Power is not seized. It is permitted."
