The Last Summoner of Eden
By @massari
Kaelen, a reclusive academy dropout, lives haunted by the specter of his twin sister's sacrifice during the Last Great Binding - a ritual meant to save their world, Eden, from the encroaching Void. Gifted with the forbidden ability to summon primordial entities, a power long deemed heretical, he seeks only to forget. But when cryptic whispers of a second, more catastrophic Void incursion begin, Kaelen finds himself dragged back into a world that reviles him. He must master his terrifying power, not to save Eden, but to challenge the very deities who demanded his sister's life, all while battling the insidious corruption that seeps into his own summoned beings.

The Last Summoner of Eden
By @Emily Castro
Kaelen, a reclusive mage haunted by the loss of his family to the Blight, lives in the desolate Last Refuge, a city perpetually besieged by monstrous corruption. When a dying Elder bestows upon him the 'Heart of Eden' - a relic capable of summoning mythical beings from a forgotten golden age - Kaelen sees not a gift, but a cursed burden. The Heart demands sacrifice, its power fueled by his own life force, and each summon brings him closer to the very nothingness he fears. As the Blight intensifies, threatening to erase even the memory of humanity, Kaelen must choose: wield a power that slowly kills him to save a world that feels already lost, or succumb to despair and let the last embers of hope fade. His struggle is not just against the Blight, but against his own paralyzing grief and the cost of every victory.
