ASHEN MARK

Riven Cael was the last ranked hunter alive when the Breach swallowed the world. Fourteen years after humanity's desperate final stand — and their total defeat — he is sent back. Not by a god, not by a system. By something far older that lives inside the broken power even he discarded. He wakes up seventeen years old, in the entrance hall of Greyveil Academy, F-rank Lightning — and a second ability he spent a lifetime misunderstanding: Ashen Absorption, the one the world can never know about. The one that could have stopped all of this. He has thirteen years before the Breach opens. He knows how it happens. He knows who dies. And he knows that every choice he makes will rot that knowledge, one butterfly at a time. DISCLAIMER: I have used AI to review and improve the quality of my writing. This is not an AI Generated Novel.
