Chapter 0: Prologue
Earth has changed.
Once a realm of rigid borders and clashing ideologies, it has now evolved into something far more intricate—a world where ancient ruins hum beneath skyscrapers, where legends breathe behind satellites, and where the forgotten past watches the unfolding future. Somewhere between magic and machine, myth and science, a new age has quietly dawned.
The people do not know it yet.
But the gods do.
And they are watching.
There exists a realm—unreachable by spacecraft, invisible to the eye, and intangible to touch. It is not a place, but a phenomenon. A dream dimension whispered about in forgotten scriptures and half-buried tongues.
They call it: Nexus Legacies.
This place cannot be found by searching. It finds you. Every human, on the month they turn seventeen, becomes eligible. Most sleep eagerly on their birthday, praying to be taken. If they miss that chance, the next time they dream… the realm comes for them.
In Nexus Legacies, the divine beings leave behind echoes.
Remnants.
Power.
From the mighty gods of Hindu mythology to the Asgardian beings of the Norse, from the celestial warriors of Eden to the wise spirits of ancient shamans, each has left a fragment of themselves behind. These are the legacies—a final sanctuary of divine will, bound together beyond time, religion, or region.
No one truly knows who created the Nexus.
But ancient texts tell of a myth—one formed by beings from every mythology to guide mortals who walk the fine line between salvation and ruin.
Only one organization holds limited knowledge of Nexus Legacies and its purpose. Few have heard their name. Fewer believe it exists.
They are the secret stewards of balance across continents.
The hidden architects behind peace, progress, and divine order.
They are known as Pax Unio.
Centuries ago, when gods walked the Earth, legacies were gifted directly to chosen mortals. Heroes like Arjuna, Karna, Achilles, Heracles, and more—champions handpicked by the divine.
During that divine era,the Nexus was sealed.
But as the gods grew distant and the realms, as the divine era ended, the Nexus reawakened.
When a soul enters Nexus Legacies, they are tested.
The realm adapts.
It reflects their desires, fears, faiths—and trials are set by the mythology they are drawn to.
Success or failure doesn't shapes the power they inherit. It the progress they make during the trials that decides which legacy they are destined with.
Those deemed worthy are chosen by powerful entities. At the end,after the trials end,a mark—a mystical tattoo—appears on their body, unique to the god, hero, or myth they represent. It is ethereal, unseen by others unless they wish to reveal it.
Yet, even then, a legacy is only a seed.
To grow it, they must train, undertake missions, and face new trials. Some will rise to greatness, reshaping the world. Others will stagnate, forever haunted by what could have been.
And outside, the world continues unaware.
But soon... it will no longer have that luxury.
This is the story of one such 17-year-old.
He lives among the common, hides behind schoolbooks and silence.
But his destiny is unlike any other.
He bears a secret.
He walks a path none have dared before.
And when the time comes, the world will learn that not all legacies are chosen…
Some are born from the will of creation itself.
A storm brews.
A new generation awakens.
And the gods—every last one of them—hold their breath.
