Chapter 0:
Eclipsera: The Elemental Rift
🌍 World Concept
A vast fantasy world where all power is elemental — fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, light, and shadow.
These elements shape everything: weapons, cities, technology, even people’s destinies.
Monsters known as Voidsent emerge from the unstable “Orbit,” a dimensional rift born from the imbalance of elements.
To protect humanity, the Arcana Defence League (ADL) was formed — elite warriors bonded with “Arcana Weapons,” relics that resonate with the wielder’s element.
But lurking in the shadows is The Organization, a secret group seeking to manipulate the elemental balance for unknown reasons.
Prologue – The Orbit Tragedy
The world was born from the elements.
Fire gave it warmth, water gave it flow, wind gave it breath, and earth gave it form.
But when the balance faltered, the Orbit opened — a rift between realms where the elements devoured each other and gave birth to monsters of chaos: the Voidsent.
For centuries, humanity stood on the edge of extinction.
Then came the Arcana Defence League — warriors who forged elemental bonds and stood as the world’s last barrier.
But none of that mattered to the boy standing on the cliff that day.
☁️ The Boy from the Ashlands
Wind howled through the gray valley of Aris Vane, a quiet border village scorched by years of elemental storms.
A twelve-year-old boy stood among the rubble, his white hair whipping in the breeze, golden eyes locked on the horizon.
Jade Valor.
Beside him stood his best friend, Eren Kale, smiling despite the distant thunder.
“You ever wonder what’s beyond that?” Eren asked, pointing toward the sky, where a faint shimmer spiraled like a whirlpool in the clouds.
Jade frowned. “The elders call it the Orbit. A place where monsters live. They say whoever goes there never comes back.”
Eren chuckled. “Then someone just has to prove them wrong.”
“You’re not serious.”
“I am. If the Arcana League can fight monsters, why can’t we?”
Jade sighed. “Because we’re not warriors. We’re farmers. And the League doesn’t come here.”
Eren’s grin faded. “Then we’re already dead, aren’t we?”
Silence followed.
Somewhere in the distance, the wind cracked with lightning — unnatural, rhythmic, like a heartbeat.
🌪️ The Rift Opens
That night, Jade woke to screams.
The ground shook as houses burned in streaks of red and blue light.
“Monsters—!” a voice cried. “They’ve breached the barrier!”
He ran outside, barefoot on the cracked stone, searching through the chaos.
Flames devoured the sky.
The Voidsent had come — hulking creatures made of distorted elements, their bodies flickering between forms of molten stone and frozen air.
Jade’s eyes darted frantically. “Eren! Where are you?!”
He spotted his friend running toward the mountains — toward the Orbit itself.
“Eren! Stop!”
But Eren didn’t.
Jade followed, heart pounding, lungs burning. The closer he came, the more the air twisted, humming with energy that wasn’t human.
The ground gave way, and Jade tumbled into a crater of spiraling light — the edge of the Orbit.
And there he saw it.
Eren lay motionless at the center, surrounded by three Voidsent.
Jade froze. His voice broke as he screamed his friend’s name — but it was too late.
The creatures turned.
🔥 The Voice in the Void
The world fell silent.
And then —
“Break the seal.”
A voice echoed through Jade’s mind — deep, calm, unearthly.
He gasped. “Who’s there?!”
“The power within you was not meant to sleep. Break the seal, or you’ll die here.”
The monsters lunged. Jade raised his arms instinctively — and the air trembled.
Fire burst from his hands, clashing with water, lightning, and stone all at once. The power surged uncontrollably, tearing through everything — monsters, rock, and sky alike.
The Orbit roared.
Light consumed everything.
When the storm ended, Jade stood alone amid scorched ruins.
Eren was gone.
So were the Voidsent.
In the ashes beside him lay a metal badge, burned but intact — a black insignia shaped like a spiral of blades.
He picked it up, his reflection flickering across the polished surface.
“The Organization…” he whispered. “They did this.”
Behind him, the wind shifted — and for a moment, a shadowy figure stood on the ridge above, its eyes glowing faintly blue.
“When you are ready,” the voice said again, faint but clear, “seek the League. Master what you hold.”
Jade turned — but the figure was gone.
He fell to his knees, clutching the badge in his fist, tears falling into the dirt.
“I swear… I’ll destroy you all.”
And from that night onward, the boy from Aris Vane was never the same.
