The Essence Trials
In a world where humanity is divided by their Essence—the raw force that shapes power, purpose, and fate—those born Pure, Evil, or Neutral are locked into rigid paths. For centuries, balance has been kept by an ancient law: no one can wield more than one kind of Essence. That law is about to break.
Jun Kael, a “Nullborn” with no Essence at all, was supposed to live and die invisible in the Neutral slums. But when he stumbles upon a forbidden relic during a botched salvage run, everything changes. The artifact doesn’t just awaken his power—it fuses with his soul, unlocking abilities that defy the very laws of the world. He is no longer Pure, Evil, or Neutral… he is all and none.
Now hunted by the Pure Order, targeted by Evil Syndicates, and stalked by a mysterious figure who claims to be his godfather, Jun is thrust into a brutal game of survival. The factions see him as a weapon. The Trials have begun. And Jun has one rule:
“I choose who I become.”
But the deeper he delves into the fractured truth behind the Essence system, the more he realizes—he might not be the one holding the strings.
The world wants balance.
Jun Kael might be the one destined to break it.
