ASHBORNE

Above the scorched earth floats the Sky Ocean—a cursed sea suspended in the heavens, seething with dark energy and secrets long buried. Beneath it lies a world ravaged by rot, ruled by mad cults, cursed relics, and fractured warlords who all fear one name: Kael Ashborne. Once a living weapon of war bonded to a sentient curse known as Ashbreaker, Kael disappeared after leveling a kingdom and vanishing into the wastelands. Branded a traitor. A myth. A warning. Years later, Kael is quietly scraping by as a junk mechanic in the dead city of Whisperfall—until a burning skyship crashes near his home. Inside: a mysterious girl, unconscious and clutching a forbidden cursed orb that remembers him. Now, hunted by the Bleached Choir—a zealot cult that harvests living curses—Kael is forced out of hiding. His bond with Ashbreaker reawakens. And so does his past. But the girl isn’t just cargo. The curse inside her is whispering something ancient. Something true. Something that might unmake the world. With bounty hunters, sky pirates, curse-wielding cultists, and dying gods closing in, Kael must choose: keep running… or become the monster they all remember. “I’m not a hero. I’m not a savior. I’m the last mistake this world gets to make.”
