BLAST: Era of the Als

One boy was forgotten. One world reborn. One truth too dangerous to remain buried. In the forgotten world of Medyline, where time moves ten times faster than Earth and age is measured in centuries, power is not born — it is awakened. Anthom, once a bright, fearless boy, was falsely accused of a crime against the most powerful rulers of Medyline — the Als, beings so feared their names are only whispered. At just 17 in Earth years, he was sentenced to 170 years in Medyline’s time. Thrown into the Blood Cage, a cursed pit for the condemned, he was forgotten. Others escaped. He remained. For 500 years, Anthom stayed buried beneath a world that moved on without him. Until the sky rained blood. The skies split. Red rain poured down. And the world changed forever. Everything it touched awakened — machines, animals, plants, even corpses. They gained a new consciousness, higher than human thought. And humans? They gained something far worse. The Blood Rain unlocked the mind. For some, it granted power, based on who they were before. For others, it shattered them. Some lost their grip on reality. Some had their minds turn black, oozing with dark smoke, becoming Wyrnhed — soulless beings, driven by an unseen force, emotionless, powerful, and cursed. But deep below… Anthom changed, too. He rose, not as the boy they once betrayed — But as something far more dangerous. Striped with poison-like markings, glowing eyes filled with silence, and a strange, black, footless creature by his side, Anthom walks the new Medyline with anger.
