Soulrift: The Unbound

When a rift tears open in the sky above the Forbidden Forest, something ancient enters the world. Forged from pure energy and cast into a vessel not entirely human, Vesperian emerges—emotionless, flawless, and incomplete. Born from a force that predates magic, he carries within him fragments of every race and art known to existence: magic, martial prowess, elemental breathing styles, and something even older—something forgotten. But Vesperian is only half of what was meant to be. The other half—his secret brother—was scattered across dimensions in the moment of their creation. While Vesperian grows stronger with each step into the unknown, a silent pull beckons him toward a destiny neither fully understands. Drawn to Astralis Arcanum, the legendary academy of mystic arts, Vesperian enters a world of rivalries, alliances, and hidden truths. Here, the strong pretend to be weak, ancient races walk among humans, and the cracks of reality may hold more than power—they may hold answers. As forbidden magic stirs and the veil between realms weakens, Vesperian must navigate a kingdom on the edge of upheaval, rediscover what it means to feel, and choose whether to seek his other half... or surpass it entirely. A tale of broken souls, transcendent power, and the mystery of what lies beyond the rift.
