Celestial Smith of the Shattered Realms
By @Chung Vuong
In the forsaken Sky-Shattered Peaks, where fragmented continents drift like forgotten dreams, Kai, a reclusive smith, harbors a secret: the 'Anvil of Creation,' an ancient artifact allowing him to forge divine artifacts from pure essence. Plagued by the echoes of a past failure that cost him his family, he lives in self-imposed exile, his only companion the ceaseless clang of his hammer. But when the Void Blight begins to consume the world's floating islands, threatening to plunge all into an abyss, Kai is forced to confront his cowardice. A mysterious prophecy speaks of a 'World-Heart Key,' a device only he can forge, capable of either mending the realms or accelerating their demise. Can Kai overcome his crippling fear of loss to become the savior he was destined to be, or will his past forever shackle his destiny and doom the realms?
