anacrusis (n.)
(music) an unstressed note preceding the first accented note of a phrase.

Dive into a dreamlike world where fantasy intertwines with real-world elements. Follow the footsteps of two young boys on an epic quest across wondrous landscapes, in a fantastical coming-of-age adventure where friendship shines even in the darkest night.

In the dreamlike world of Ex Nihilo, the human kingdom of Ædel has destroyed the environment. In doing so, it drew the wrath of the Càileachd, an ancient race of powerful beings with close ties to Nature. Now, the two races are on the brink of war. Hunt, the young Càileachd crown prince, feels that bloodshed is not the answer, and deserts his homeland with the ultimate hope of stopping the war and reversing the destruction of the environment. He has a fateful encounter with Shirota, a human boy of mysterious origins, and believes him to be the person mentioned in an ancient prophecy of the Càileachd - a person destined to prevent calamity.

The two young boys band together in aid of humankind, and embark on a quest to the kingdom of Ædel. The journey takes them into the kingdom of Joseon - medieval Korea - where they encounter wondrous sceneries, various challenges, and mighty foes. In the process, they develop a deep bond while discovering themselves.All Rights Reserved

An Endless Journey Into Another World by CatWuwu

Imagine being one of the humans transported to a colossal planet where monsters lurk around every corner, and you have no guide, weapons, or abilities to rely on. You might think it resembles some dark sandbox RPG games, but it doesn't work that way. In the aftermath of a prophecy foretelling Earth's destruction, billions of people vanished from around the globe, transported to a planet called Eldrasia, a world the same size as Jupiter. People were scattered all across its vast expanse. The questions surrounding what happened to Earth and why they were transported remain unanswered; no one knows the cause of this phenomenon, and its mysteries elude understanding. Here, the full potential of one's being is unlocked; magic and super strength are possible, but abilities aren't granted automatically. Individuals must work hard to achieve and discover their hidden talents and skills, seeking knowledge in dangerous areas to fully understand and unlock their potential to survive and rebuild humanity. In this new world, there are no guides to lead the way. Everyone must rely solely on their instincts and determination to navigate deadly environments, unknown territories, mysterious civilizations, and ancient ruins. Eldrasia is a world within a world, filled with treacherous dungeons that contain traps and monsters eager to prey on the unprepared. Unlike anything found in games, these dungeons offer no easy loot; they test the limits of strength and resolve. Towering structures rise with thousands of floors that anyone can challenge, offering unique abilities, rare equipment, and unknown materials. However, reaching the top floor is shrouded in mystery, with rumors suggesting that Demons and Gods of this world reside there. This world isn't designed to be easy; it's a nightmare where every decision could mean the difference between life and death. --- 09/15/2024 - Present
