When Elian Requino, a terminally ill teenager from Cebu, opens his eyes after death, he finds himself reborn in the dark, pulsing soil of an underground colony-not as a human, but as a helpless ant larva. With no limbs, no voice, and no control, he faces predators, instincts, and the suffocating weight of powerlessness. But Elian's mind is still human. And in this strange subterranean world-where danger creeps in from every tunnel and survival is never guaranteed-he discovers a flicker of hope: an Evolution System embedded deep within his soul. From worker to warrior to something beyond all caste, Elian must crawl his way up the chain, forging bonds, unlocking hidden traits, and choosing his path among three evolutionary destinies. As the surface world of Eldrath rages with magic and war, a new force quietly awakens beneath it. Not a chosen hero. Not a knight. But a future ant king-and a monster of his own making.

An Epic Fantasy of Power, Prophecy, and the War for a Dying World. Beneath the roots of a fractured realm, the ancient Pillars that once held balance to the world of Exertha are fading. From corrupted shadows stirs the Blight-a creeping force of decay and ruin, led by a monstrous figure whispered only as the Scourge Sovereign. In a quiet mountain village, a boy named Kaelen awakens to the pulse of Terra, the living breath of the earth. He is an Earthshaper, long thought extinct. Chosen by fate-or perhaps by something older-Kaelen must walk a path where wonder meets terror, and even hope carries weight. Guided by Serelith, a luminous scholar of the ancient Aetherin race, Kaelen seeks to uncover the truth behind the lost Ninth Pillar. But as his bond with Terra deepens, so too do the visions of blight-covered ruins... and the horrors yet to come. Enemies rise. Prophecies stir. And deep within the rotting heart of the world, something monstrous waits to devour the light. Will Kaelen rise to restore balance-or will Exertha crumble beneath the rot?
