"They all wore masks." Diana is a psychology major, an orphan with too many memories and not enough peace. One night after a party, she vanishes, taken by strangers who live in a house beyond the cemetery, where the doors only lock from the outside. But Diana refuses to break. She learns their patterns, their pain. She disarms them one by one-first with her mind, then with blood. This is not a story about healing. It's a survival story. About what's left after the chains fall off. And the truth? Not all monsters wear masks.

The Void is sentient. It seeks the consumption of all existence, but is unable to do so due to forces it unintentionally gave rise to during its own emergence. Unable to act directly, it instead corrupts reality - influencing, degrading, and destabilizing it over time. Humanity discovered the Void after its effects became measurable. In response, the Void Response Authority was formed: an interstellar organization tasked with studying Void-corrupted phenomena, containing active threats, and, when possible, repurposing anomalous properties as weapons. Soriel is a void anomaly employed by the VRA as an anomalous agent. Following a transfer to the Frontier planet Abyssia, he becomes part of a system designed to observe, control, and survive the influence of the Void - even as conditions begin to diverge from what the Authority considers acceptable.

*New chapter every Saturday!* There is a moment of tenuous peace in Terra Solara, so named after the god Solarius, the Radiant King. It is said that it was he who transmitted the warmth of life to the first humans, his first and most loyal followers, who were the founders of his religion, the Cult of the Eternal Sun. These, however, did everything they could to extinguish the warmth of life in other people for their own gain, political ascension, religion or even their own pleasure, so that seven petty kingdoms emerged from a single continent. Any notion of peace is quickly forgotten when there is constant political and religious intrigue in every kingdom. Even if one tries to avoid participating in confrontations, confrontations have a tendency to bring people together.
