Seven dimensions. Seven versions of you. One rule: Never cross the Fracture. In Neo-Babel, your soul is your weapon. Every Sovereign can manifest their alternate selves from parallel dimensions to wield god-like power. But Kaine Ashford is a "Null"-a freak of nature whose parallel versions are all dead. In a world where dimensional access is everything, Kaine is a zero. Until the murders start. Someone is killing Sovereigns across all seven realities simultaneously, causing a "True Death" that shouldn't be possible. When Kaine witnesses a high-ranking Sovereign fall, he discovers his terrifying purpose: he can absorb the "Death Echoes" of the fallen. Now, the powerless boy is becoming a graveyard of gods. Hunted by the Sovereign Council and a shadowy Cult of Unity, Kaine must master a forbidden arsenal of stolen powers before the killer erases his last remaining life. One boy. Zero futures. Infinite stolen power.

They called him trash. The system called him different. Kael Stormwind was born with everything-wealth, status, a legendary family name. Everything except talent. While his cousins awaken dragons and phoenixes, he gets a Spirit Water Steed. While they train in prestigious sects, he's told to "manage expectations." Then a wounded Silverwood Lynx crosses his path. And something ancient awakens in his mind. Now whispers from another world fill his thoughts-techniques no one here has ever seen, strategies that defy everything the beast tamers believe. A system built for hunting monsters, not taming them. The forbidden knowledge could make him legendary. Or get him killed. They still underestimate the heir they called worthless. They should have feared what chose him.

Magic defines everything. Status. Power. Worth. That's what everyone believes deep inside, even if they never truly admit it to themselves, but they fall back on it when they fail so they can blame and perpetuate that status quo. None believes this more than the royals, and none more than Riven, who was raised by his elitist grandfather on these values. Being born with one of the most destructive powers in the world, "Ancestral Flame," along with the royal blood that gave him not only notoriety but also massive power comparable to an elf at birth, he flaunted his superiority over everyone, to the detriment of others. But his parents and siblings weren't like him; they were kind people, untouched or rebellious to the acts & ways of other nobility, and they tried to change him but couldn't until one day he was humbled by a commoner boy with unnaturally strong scholarship at his school named Ryuji. After being beaten for the first time in his life, his worldview was rocked, and after many months of trying to get back at Ryuji and the people closest to him, mostly to his own detriment and loss of people and things around him. He was finally held accountable and about to be sent to prison after the tireless work of Ryuji, his friends, and Riven's own mother. But then, when he was recovering to be sentenced the next day, he was possessed by an unknown spirit that triggered smoke magic. Causing him to kill his entire family in his sleep.

But Kaitlin has a problem worse than a bad slice. Her anxiety isn't just in her head. It's alive. A Flaw-Dragon-born from her rushed tempo and fear-is hunting her from the reflections of the city. It feeds on her mistakes. It grows stronger with every missed par. With a disgraced champion as her unwilling mentor and a relic club that hums with a mind of its own, Kaitlin must do the impossible: Discipline her demons before they devour her on the first tee. The course doesn't forgive. The hazard is hungry. And the Tyrant is watching.
