Since dawn of time, mankind tirelessly sought to harness the colossal power of nature for its benefit. Only after millennials of toil did humanity finally unlock the enigmatic nature of light, embedding it within minerals and crystals. These became instruments for channeling an energy of immense power, surpassing that of ten thousand suns.

Originally crafted from precious gemstones, they were forever to be known as "Stones of the Cipher".

However, the rise of this newfound power sparked a frantic arms race among nations, each wielding its own potent mineral in a mesmerizing display of light and color. Regrettably, this competitive pursuit ultimately led to a catastrophic conflict that brought the collapse of civilization.

Amidst the ruins, only scattered tribes endured, traditionally linked to the minerals that resonated with their unique wavelengths of light. Together, they obliterated all traces of the devastating orbs and the cryptic codes they held.

Over the course of centuries, the tribes gradually transformed into kingdoms, diverging from the prismatic unity they once shared. Each kingdom chose to embrace a distinct color, their people once again wielding swords and axes, oblivious to the catastrophe that lay dormant.

In the heart of a war-torn land, a lone relic stands as a silent witness to a history that was both wondrous and terrible.

Some updates

[April, 25]

Reposting first chapter which has been refined, edited and received new formatting.

[February, 15]:

Next chapter is expected to be significantly larger than usual (2-3 times the average) so it would take a great deal of time for me to release it.

Also working hard on rewriting first chapters, specifically for character development, dialogues, interaction, etc as well as in-depth details for cohered world building.

Next Chapter: "Wailingreen - Part IV"Scheduled Release Date: February, 2024
