Rebuilding Stories

What happens after the explosion? After the smoke clears, after the fire dies down and all that's left is ash and silence? The blast may be over-but the damage remains. The aftermath is quiet-too quiet. Shards of trust buried beneath the rubble, pieces of something almost-whole now scattered and sharp. They both survived the blast, but survival isn't the same as healing. Not when guilt corrodes from the inside, and forgiveness feels like an impossible equation with no right answer. But even in ruin, there's a chance to rebuild. A turning point.

Bai adored the spotlight. Night after night of awed gasps and amazed cheers as he flew through the air with his acrobatics troupe and their exceedingly well practiced routine. On stage, he was a ghost, a phantom for the hero to defeat. With his flowing white hair, the shrill cry of his flute, and the fluttering of his ornate costume aided by his own wind magic, he made quite the spectacle. Off stage, life had been unchanged for as long as he could remember. With poor vision that left him unfit for many kinds of labor, he'd been sold to the traveling circus at a young age by his poor family. Everything for his use was always in the same spot, everything always the same bright colors. Life off stage, outside of practice, consisted of such exciting tasks as using his wind magic to keep the flies out of the mess tent, and helping the never ending quantities of laundry to dry. Indentured to the show, raised by the stage, he'd never known anything else. He'd never considered anything else. But one fateful night when a wealthy foreign noble has all the other performers anxious to perform their best, Bai learns he's still able to be bought and sold. Whether he wants it or not, heir to the throne of Gelsan, Prince Kamau, is going to thrust Bai onto an entirely different stage... This story can also be found on Royal Road 👋

In a shallow world, on the brink of collapse, a series of consecutive events brought civilization to its knees. No one knows how the world ended, but it all happened in a single day-the fateful day when the stars fell from the sky. Empires crumbled, and a once-advanced world was erased. Clouds hovered in the air, the stars devoured the moon, and the world grew restless. Isolation gripped the vast land, and the earth refused to bear fruit. Death claimed many, families were torn apart, bloodlines ended, and the extensive history of the world was destroyed. In the year of the Great Reset, a bloody year of dwindling populations, the once safe world became menacing. The fall of the human empires marked the end of an era of intelligence and power. What occurred during that period remains largely unknown, but after the Great Reset, the weather changed, the world grew colder, the moon returned, and animals once harmless rose to power. Heavy snow covered the earth, concealing the remnants of a bygone reality. For thousands of years, the world went to a deep sleep. This is the story set after the Great Reset, an event that nearly eradicated the human race. Shrouded in mystery, our MC embarks on a journey, seeking to uncover the secrets of the advanced old world and use them as a foundation to build a new one. Note: This will be my first book/novel.
