Aetherion: The Singular Path

In a world where magic follows strict paths, Aren should not exist.

Born weak and bound by responsibility, Aren hunts the wilds for scraps of magical loot just to keep his family alive. Fighters strengthen their bodies. Mages wield fractured elements. Tanks shape creation. Scouts perceive. Everyone draws power from Aetherion-but only along a single axis.

Until Aren breaks that rule.

Cornered by a beast far beyond him, he survives by doing something no one should be able to do: he converts magic itself. Light answers him without fracturing. Dark does not resist him.

And that terrifies the world.

As guilds compete, dungeons multiply, and nations balance on lies buried in forgotten history, Aren is pulled into a path meant for no one-a path that must remain hidden, or be erased.

This is not the story of a chosen hero.

This is the story of the anomaly.
