The whale beneath the mountains

Broken_Helios
In a world of plentiful magic, strange creatures, and heroic stories, it's easy to get lost in the wonders of the world and play pretend hero. What's not so easy is getting revenge once your town's been burned to the ground by mages much more powerful than you could imagine. A cult even the Crown has been struggling with. Luckily, there's a school class for that, and one of the members just so happens to be passing by. The power’s not free, though—but who wouldn't be willing to pay the price after watching the dying embers of their house fade?

Soulrift: The Unbound

When a rift tears open in the sky above the Forbidden Forest, an ancient force slips into the world—one that predates magic itself. Vesperian is born from this force—emotionless, flawless, and incomplete. Forged from pure energy and cast into a body not fully human, he carries within him fragments of every race and every discipline: magic, martial arts, elemental breathing styles, and something older still—something forgotten. But Vesperian is only half of what he was meant to be. His secret brother, the other half of his being, was scattered across dimensions the moment they were forged. While Vesperian grows stronger with every step he takes, the silent pull toward his missing other half intensifies, drawing him toward a destiny neither of them fully understands. Vesperian's journey leads him to Astralis Arcanum, the legendary academy of mystic arts, where rivalries simmer, alliances shift, and the truths of an ancient kingdom lie hidden beneath layers of deception. Here, the strong feign weakness, long-forgotten races walk among humans, and the very fabric of reality trembles, holding power that could shatter the world itself. As forbidden magic stirs and the rift between realms weakens, Vesperian must navigate a kingdom on the brink of chaos, rediscover what it means to feel, and decide whether to seek his other half—or transcend his fate entirely. A tale of broken souls, transcendent power, and the dark secrets that lie beyond the rift.
