Highland: Arcane

HIGHLAND: ARCANE
Humanity survives in isolation. Separated by impossible distances on an Earth that spans a massive 1.97 quintillion square miles, civilizations exist as scattered technological islands, ranging from ancient spires and medieval kingdoms to sprawling steampunk and cyberpunk metropolises. Beyond their borders lies an unexplored wilderness dominating 94.5% of the planet, a dark expanse ruled by mythic deities. In this world, power is the only currency. While most mortals train in the elemental arts of Haxaishi or manifest a single Aspect born of their own willpower, surviving the brutal scaling of the Highland demands breaking the rules.When a unique protagonist with feral hands and an impossible origin begins shattering the established limits of power, the entire tracking system notices. To survive the steep ranking gaps, he must fight his way upward from the fringes of civilization, navigating god-ruled territories to uncover what truly hides in the unexplored dark.
