The World Behind The Bright Light
By @Daas
The novel follows Cael Arven, an ordinary teenager living on Blue Star one hundred years after the emergence of a mysterious power known as Core. With a Beginner Rank Core and a Wind Affinity, Cael is neither a genius nor a descendant of one of the great families. Starting from his simple life with his family and at school, Cael's curiosity about the world beyond Blue Star gradually leads him toward a journey of growth and discovery. As he becomes stronger and gains more experience, he slowly gets closer to the world he has only ever seen through screens: The Void, a vast galaxy where most of the territory remains unknown to humanity. His journey is not simply about becoming stronger. It is also about finding friends, facing enemies, discovering unfamiliar worlds and civilizations, and realizing that the world he has always known is only a tiny part of something far greater.

PHANTOM GUNS Chapter 1 - The Letter That Changed Everything Rain poured over the small town of Ashvale as Caleb Collins (19) lay on the roof of his house, drinking his favorite grape soda. "Another boring day..." he sighed. Inside the house... "CALEB!!" His older sister, Sadako, threw open the window. "Get down here before dinner gets cold!" Caleb laughed. "I'm coming!" --- During dinner, the siblings joked with each other. "You'll never stop drinking soda, will you?" Sadako asked. "Nope." "You'll rot your teeth." "Worth it." Sadako rolled her eyes but smiled. Their peaceful evening was interrupted by loud knocking. BANG! BANG! BANG! Caleb opened the door. No one was there. Only a single black envelope rested on the porch. Written on the front were the words: To Caleb and Sadako Collins. Caleb looked confused. "I don't recognize this handwriting..." Sadako carefully opened the envelope. Inside was a faded letter. > "If you're reading this, I'm still alive."
