In 2045, humanity’s age of prosperity was shattered when the Abyss Gates erupted across the world. Within days, monstrous beasts spilled forth, immune to mankind’s strongest weapons. Nuclear fire burned only the weakest of them; cities fell in hours. For twelve long years, the war raged, and Earth’s population collapsed to less than five billion. But the Gates carried more than death. They radiated Abyssal Energy, mutating the land, flora, and fauna—and awakening humans to superhuman potential. These new warriors, called Hunters, turned the tide. With their strength, humanity reclaimed fragments of their world, built colossal walled cities, and mined the alien realms beyond the Gates for exotic metals, energy, and weapons. Four great nations rose from the ashes: Northern Virelia, Thryssia Expanse, Oryndor Reach, and the Highlands of Aelvorn. Yet Earth is no longer the only battlefield. As Gates multiply, rifts stretch further into the cosmos. Explorers and Hunters begin venturing beyond, encountering alien civilizations scarred by the same nightmare, and uncovering ruins that speak of an intelligence older—and far darker—than the Abyss itself. Whispers spread of a truth too vast to comprehend: the Gates are not a natural calamity. They are a design. The Abyss Beasts are but pawns, and the true enemy is waiting, watching, and hungering for the essence of entire universes. Humanity’s survival is no longer just a war for Earth. It is the opening move in a struggle that spans the stars.

Foundations in Fire is set in an early 20th-century fictional nation. It has the grit, machines, and social upheaval of that era. Think smoky train stations, printing presses, political rallies in gaslit halls, duels still lingering as a code of honor, but also the tension of modernity crashing into tradition. Adrian Vale is brilliant, stubborn, and ambitious. Born poor in an isolated province, he claws his way into the city determined to “work his way into power.” Adrian Vale arrives in the capital of New Albion with nothing but a sharp mind and a hunger to rise. He befriends Marcus and Seraphina, and soon catches the attention of Lord Gray. Through his political speeches, and quick wit, Adrian earns influence in the city’s council, though he also gains enemies—most notably Sebastian Crowne, who mocks Adrian’s lack of pedigree. Foundations in Fire follows Adrian Vale, a brilliant and ambitious young man from a poor coastal province, as he rises through the ranks of New Albion’s political and social elite. Armed with wit, pamphlets, and unyielding determination, he challenges the entrenched power of old families, wins influence in the council, and captures the attention of the Hartwell sisters—intellectually formidable Eveline and fiery, unpredictable Emily. Along the way, Adrian navigates rivalries, particularly with Sebastian Crowne, the calculating heir of one of the city’s oldest families, whose own ambitions and desire for control collide with Adrian’s vision for a new, fairer city. Against a backdrop of industrial smoke, social unrest, and political intrigue, the story is a fast-paced battle of ideas, alliances, and personal stakes, where ambition, love, and power collide with dangerous intensity.

[Epic Fantasy] + [Eastern Fantasy] + [Otherworld Continent] + [No System] [All Characters Are Smart] + [Strict Internal Logic] + [Coming-of-Age Protagonist] Seven continents. Three rival powers. Gods in slumber. Races bound by fate. On the continent of Fuzhou: • In the east, the Kingdom of Jiguang places its faith in the stars, its destiny guarded by the Four Pillars, the Seven Luminaries, and the lost Twenty-Eight Constellations. • In the west, the Cersei Federation follows the rule of divine authority, where the Triune Council of gods commands both knights and magi. • And to the north, the Herta Republic forges its strength from machinery, runes, and cold science—seeking to create a “god that can be controlled.” As these three powers clash, the world itself trembles. Ruins of gods and demons rise anew. Lost continents, polar wastelands, poisonous seas, and drowned legacies of the deep return to the stage. Ancient myths stir in their sleep, and cracks in the fabric of faith begin to spread. The story follows Layne, a boy from the small town of Youzhen. By chance, he awakens the ancient gift of the Soul Guide—to commune with the dead, to soothe their spirits, and to hear the lingering echoes of gods. He was once a child too small to be noticed among the millions, but as kingdoms collapse, divinities awaken, and the lament of races fills the land, he will become the most vital witness of this world—its rememberer. Every life lost is worth remembering. Every fallen city once burned bright. This is a tightly woven epic of logic and ensemble storytelling, with a protagonist who grows through trial and sacrifice. It is also a chronicle of the Seven Provinces—written as a tribute to the world, to the soul, and to memory itself.
