AETHELOS

At the foot of Mount Ressonance, the small village of Batu Gema lives in fragile peace. For its people, tales of the Aethel-Weaver—those who can shape and guide the ancient force known as Aethel-Essence—are nothing more than fading legends. But for Ren, the son of a quiet Rune engraver, destiny comes knocking sooner than he could have imagined. During the Awakening Ceremony, he discovers not one, but two Echo-Resonances: the Mysterious Golden Seed and the Black-and-White Brush—a rare inheritance that stirs both curiosity and fear. Even more astonishing, he possesses Innate Full Aethel-Essence Power, a gift that appears only once in a hundred years. Under his father’s guidance, Ren endures grueling training in the art of engraving ancient Runes, all while holding onto a burning question: what is the true nature of the seed, and why does the brush feel alive? The answers lead him down a perilous path—one that demands hunting for the elusive Crystal Aethel, confronting deadly Aethel-Beasts, and uncovering dark secrets from his family’s past. As the echoes of fate resound across Aethelos, Ren must choose: remain an ordinary engraver living in the shadows, or step into the world of the Aethel-Weavers—where every power is a weapon, and every secret can kill.
