A special day has come, a day that Earth has awaited for oh so long. The day where they are finally going to try and run the reactor. This had been long-awaited and everyone dropped off their kids with a hint of dread. Hoping that nothing would go wrong, we know it did. Since, else, there would not be a story. I won't go into too much detail, but only simply explain what happened. Due to some malfunctioning and incorrect assumptions, the reactor overproduced energy. Something which should have been impossible according to all the known knowledge of a really advanced Earth. I mean, they have even started colonizing planets. Have done countless simulations and even built test stations in space. Yet now, something had gone when they did the same on earth. Bizarre, right? This malfunctioning and imploding of the reactor caused a massive explosion due to the instability of space itself. This is also what allowed the story to exist, as our main characters were all transported. The method is not known, nor why they survived. We can say it is for the story, for now... They all now find themselves on Ethos, eating a mouthful of dirt as they struggled for breath. Some find their situation horrible, others find it relaxing and peaceful. Some see death, others see life. Despair and hope, madness and sanity on an edge. What has fate given you? Welcome to Ethos, a planet of magic. Welcome to Ethos, a planet orbiting an exotic star. Ethos wishes you luck in surviving. Maybe, just maybe... You can someday go back, or not.

In the canal city of Veythra, memory is currency and glass is its vault. Citizens pay skilled artisans to seal away their sharpest regrets, brightest joys, and most dangerous truths so that life can continue unburdened. Lira Voss is one of the finest of these glasswrights—quiet, precise, and privately unwilling to surrender any of her own past. When a veiled client commissions her to trap “what remains of the night I stopped dreaming,” Lira produces a sphere that refuses to stay inert. Something ancient and aware moves inside the glass, leaving living scars that heal themselves and a pulse that matches her own. Ordered to deliver the sphere to an unfinished tower and never look back, Lira disobeys. That single glance sets loose a cascade: sealed memories across the city begin to leak, the great Archive towers darken one by one, and the boundary between remembered and forgotten starts to dissolve. Lira discovers the sphere contains the final fragment of the First Forgetting—an entity older than the city that once allowed mortals to release pain and move forward. A secret order seeks to either free it completely (condemning everyone to remember every moment forever) or bind it so tightly that even necessary memory will be erased. As reality frays and her own locked drawer of private shards begins to sing in answer, Lira must decide whether to finish the work she started, destroy the fragment, or claim it. The choice will determine whether Veythra continues as a city of deliberate amnesia or collapses under the weight of everything it has tried to forget.

The god is dead, but its memory is hungry. Three thousand years ago, the god Tharos fell. Today, his fossilized remains—the Lorn Expanse—serve as the lifeblood of an empire. In the shadow of the Ribs of Lorn, the Empire of the Spine mines god-bone and harvests aetherich to power a civilization of brass and gears. But for those who toil in the dust, the cost of progress is madness. Kael is a survivor of the bone mines, forever changed by a catastrophic collapse in Chamber 19. While others died from the weight of divine essence, Kael woke with the "hum" in his blood. He now hears the frequencies of the dead god and tastes memories trapped in the dust—a gift that feels more like a slow-acting poison. He wants only to survive the grueling life of a scavenger, hiding the resonance that marks him as different. Everything changes when he encounters Ilara, a woman whose voice carries a power that shouldn't exist. She is a Vessel, capable of singing raw god-bone into life, and she is being hunted by the Empire’s mechanical enforcers. The Empire has spent centuries trying to stabilize divine energy, but Kael and Ilara represent something they cannot control: a living connection to a waking god. As the "Thrice-Born" prophecy stirs and the ground beneath the salt flats vibrates with a terrifying new rhythm, the two must flee toward the heart of the god’s corpse. In a world where technology is fueled by the sacred and bone-tech determines the hierarchy of man, Kael and Ilara must decide if they are the harbingers of a new era or the final echoes of a dying god's scream. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/869094/fictions
