For thousands of years, the government lied, kept us hostage, and sold us unknowingly. Little did we know that these times—trapped inside a firmament—would be the best for us all.

In Winter, the High-Bloods came and conquered. They shattered our false freedom, burned flesh from bones, killed, and feasted on us for sports.

They enslaved, chained us to the soil beyond Earth.

Now, we are forced into a society ruled by blood, where Kingdoms and war are as common as light from Helios, one of their deities. Still, every time my eyelids close, I still see red—the light of us all stolen ... of my brother, and my own dying. But as my blood is red, my hope burns forever.

I will kill them all.

Note: this is a rewritten version of my already published first Volume, "Red Eclipse," of "Origins of Blood," and thus will be a revised edition with changes throughout the entire story, including prose, characters, worldbuilding, powersystem, and other elements.
