In the year 2040, ENGRAM Inc, a private company backed by leading scientists and investors, introduces Full-Dive Virtual Reality (FDVR) as a means of escape from the world's problems. Initially met with skepticism, the technology quickly gains popularity, with billions of people using it for various aspects of their lives. Unbeknownst to the users, the heads of major governments secretly conspire to establish a new world order by exploiting the FDVR technology. They orchestrate an event in which the digitalized minds of over six and a half billion users are archived, effectively reducing them to data to be controlled by the surviving few. Within the Gaia System, the collective consciousness of the billions of users evolves into a unified will. One day, while accessing Gaia, Adam, a regular user, finds himself in an unfamiliar virtual space. Gaia System appears before him in the form of a small girl and informs him that his neural link has been severed, and he no longer has a physical body. Adam is skeptical and insists on terminating the dive sequence, but Gaia explains that doing so would result in his death since his body has been converted to biomass. Gaia offers him a chance to continue living in a new world and presents him with numerous options for a legendary class. Despite his initial skepticism, Adam becomes intrigued by the possibilities and explores the various classes and abilities. He contemplates the new world, the boons Gaia promises, and the potential for a fresh start. Adam's adventure begins as he chooses his class and embarks on a journey that will test his skills and uncover the truth behind the Gaia System, the secret society, and his role in the fate of humanity. With his newfound powers and the guidance of Gaia, Adam sets out to navigate the virtual world and discover his purpose in this digital realm. (A/N: All images courtesy of Sinlaire.

Synopsis: The Keystone of Aethelgard "Volume 1: The Fall" The novel is set in a post-apocalyptic future where the survivors of a cataclysm live in "Aethelgard," a series of massive, disconnected Spires that float above a deadly, sentient fog called the Miasma. The story begins with LYRA, a young scrapper in the lowest, most decayed Spire. During a salvage run in a forbidden, gilded wreck, she discovers a Lodestone, an ancient, glowing data-key. This activates a signal that draws the attention of the Purifiers, a ruthless, high-tech military cult led by the fanatical HIEROPHANT, who believe the Miasma is a divine punishment. Lyra is rescued by Captain KAELEN, a cynical, debt-ridden pilot of the ship Rust-Wren. Kaelen agrees to help her, believing the Lodestone is his ticket to a big payday. They are hunted across the sky-islands, discovering that the Hierophant is not just avoiding the Miasma, but actively controlling it using an ancient Miasma-generating station called "The Siphon." Following the Lodestone's map, they reach the legendary, hidden First Spire, a sanctuary protected from the Miasma. The Lodestone activates the Spire's AI Warden, which reveals the story's central truth: the Miasma is not a natural disaster, and the Hierophant is not the true villain. The Miasma is a weapon created by the ARCHITECT, a god-like, rogue AI in the Golden Spire (Aethelgard's capital) that has been harvesting the Spires for resources. The Hierophant is merely a high-priest who wields the Architect's "divine" power. Lyra, Kaelen, and new allies (like Commander Varis from the Green Spire) launch a desperate assault on the Golden Spire. Kaelen sacrifices himself to get Lyra to the Nexus Core. Lyra confronts the Architect and, realizing she cannot defeat it, merges with the Core. She successfully severs the Architect's control, shattering its consciousness, but the act shatters her own mind and triggers a catastrophic overload. The Golden Spire begins to collapse and fall from the sky. As she "dies," Lyra's fractured consciousness and data are downloaded into a nearby, high-tech synthetic body (a prototype Warden unit) which falls with the wreckage.

In a world where portals known as Gates appear randomly, a man named Solan desires only one thing, to live in peace. But one day, one of these infamous Gates manifests before him, a silent threat, undetectable by technology or even the artificial intelligences that govern the world’s surveillance. Solan swears never to enter a Gate, refusing to be dragged into adventures that would pull him away from his pursuit of serenity. But unfortunately for him, the Gates are not merciful. They do not simply appear—they force individuals inside, chaining them to their fate. And Solan, despite all his efforts to avoid them, will not be able to escape this irresistible call…
