In a world where power is gained through battle, a hidden truth binds the strong and the fallen. A thread. Invisible to all—except the one who carries it. When five "heroes" are summoned from Earth to the Aureth Empire, everything goes according to plan. Titles are granted. Power is assigned. All but one. Kael is the only one left without a path. No blessing. No role. No future. But when he kills for the first time… He sees it. A thread. Not blue like the others. Black. As the world begins to unravel around him—rifts tearing reality apart, truths buried beneath faith, and something ancient stirring beneath it all. Kael realizes one thing: He was never meant to be part of this system. And whatever rejected him… might be the only thing that can save him.
