Want Nothing But You

In the soaring spires of Altheria, magic determines a man’s worth. To be born without it is to be a ghost in a city of gods. Kaelen was a ghost—until the day he tried to die. When Kaelen plunges into the dark waters of the Great River, he doesn't find death. Instead, he awakens a forbidden interface: The Arcane System. This is no ordinary gift of the heavens; it is a cold, clinical accountant of agony. Its rules are simple: mana is for the blessed, but Despair Points (DP) are for the broken. Every bruise from a noble's fist, every insult spat in the mud, and every memory of failure is now a deposit in Kaelen’s account. With his new system, Kaelen can purchase what nature denied him: artificial mana veins, shadow-walking abilities, and the dark secrets of the very Academy that shunned him. But the Arcane System is a demanding master. To maintain his new power, Kaelen must keep the "market" of his misery volatile. He must enter the Academy as an uninvited guest, face the golden boy who tried to break him, and survive the scrutiny of the terrifying Inquisitors. Kaelen spent eighteen years as a victim. Now, he’s an investor. And he’s about to prove that when you have nothing left to lose, you have everything to gain.

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.

As he considered the attack on Atlantis City, Drake's face darkened for a moment, but he shook his head to clear his mind and looked the king in the eye.I can only say that I was going about my business in the city from which I came when it was suddenly bombed.I was, as far as I could tell, the only one who made it through that.After that, I fell down a shaft, struck my head as I fell, and eventually fell asleep.Next thing I knew, I was here in chains.I'd rather keep things that way;I really do not want to discuss my past right now.Everything just went missing. The observers debated what they had heard as more murmurs and hisses filled the grotto. "I'm expecting that by 'bombarded' you imply that your city was gone after, right?"The crowd's murmuring was stopped when the king asked. Shortly after, Drake replied, "Completely leveled."Bastian tapped the high position arm with a claw a couple of times as he suspected peacefully.After that, he stood up straight and spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear. Bastian stated, "I would easily be able to say you’re not guilty of anything" if this decision were simpler to make.While the crowd erupted into a hystearical commotion, Andromon and Prismo shared a brief glance, displaying a hint of surprise.However, "I'm afraid I can't just let you off the hook, after your involvement with the actual thief's escape," he continued, immediately silencing the grotto.
