Light Beneath the Ashes

Karmis
A world built on power, hierarchy, and quiet cruelty. Here, justice is a decoration and truth is controlled by influence and fear. Those closest to power are untouchable, while countless lives disappear without ever being remembered. The system does not break—it feeds. From the ruins of broken families and stolen futures, people begin to rise. Not driven by prophecy or heroism, but by a refusal to accept a world that survives by crushing the weak. Their pasts burn within them, shaping both their strength and their scars. This is not a story about chosen heroes. It is a story about ordinary people becoming dangerous when pushed too far.

Boundless: Tower of Evolution

The world didn’t end in fire or chaos, it changed quietly. Zane Mensah, an observant and withdrawn university student, is among the few who notice the subtle signs that something is wrong. The sky stands unnaturally still, animals begin to behave in disturbing ways, and an invisible pressure seems to settle over the world. While others dismiss it, Zane’s instincts tell him a pattern is forming, one he doesn’t yet understand. Then everything breaks. As animals across the world begin to mutate and humanity collapses into chaos, cities fall and survival becomes the only rule. Nations shrink into isolated safe zones, resources grow scarce, and fear replaces order. With no knowledge of cultivation or power, humanity struggles against a rapidly evolving threat. Just when hope begins to fade, mysterious alien beings known as the Astreans appear. They construct towering structures, gateways to a brutal trial system known as the Tower of Evolution. Promising strength and survival, they offer humanity a chance to fight back… but at a cost. Only those under the age of twenty can enter. Inside the tower, participants are tested, broken, and forced to evolve. Power comes through absorbing essence left behind by the dead, elemental forces and bloodline remnants that can either elevate or erase one’s existence. Survival is no longer just about strength, but adaptation, instinct, and the will to surpass others. Zane enters the tower not as a hero, but as a survivor. Driven first by the need to live, and later by the desire to control his own fate, he begins a journey through a world where only the strongest rise, and where even allies can become enemies. Because in the end, only one truth remains: To evolve… or be left behind.
