by ALCATRAZ V2·Translated by Novel AI Studio
In the grim, militaristic realm of Laytel, where elemental affinities dictate power, Alkatraz Peyr navigates a world scarred by endless conflict. Burdened by the memory of a lost family and a past he cannot outrun, Alkatraz harbors a secret: the forbidden ability to rip open rifts, conjuring an ephemeral ash that can manifest as devastating weapons or fortifying structures. This uncanny power makes him a ghost in the shadows, a walking arsenal in a world that fears anything outside its strict order. When a series of inexplicable 'ashquakes' threaten to unravel Laytel's already fragile peace, Alkatraz finds himself drawn into a desperate quest. He must master his volatile gift, not just for survival, but to prevent the very ground beneath their feet from consuming them all, all while hiding his true nature from a watchful, unforgiving military. Can he protect Laytel without revealing the monstrous power within?
