    ASCENDANTS OF THE FALLEN EARTH When fire fell, silver whispered. The night the sky bled silver, a comet tore Earth open, unleashing Celestia-a raw, living power that reshaped the world. Now, in a fractured age of overgrown ruins and mutated beasts, humanity clings to existence in underground havens, where some are born with its volatile light in their veins. Eris, fifteen and touched by the silver, battles the untamed power that threatens to consume him. Kaylah remains his fiercely loyal anchor, her presence a shield against the monstrous transformation he fears. But their fragile peace is crumbling. Ruthless Awakened clans seek to control or eliminate those like Eris, and in the deep tunnels, a mysterious force, marked by a pulsing spiral, awakens to his unique resonance. The shadows remember what the blood forgets. The old world is never truly buried-only waiting to open its jaws. And secrets lurk in drowned ruins and dried seas, whispering of ancient power and the price of claiming it. Driven by survival and the desperate need to protect his family, Eris must confront not only the savage creatures above, but the escalating power within. For the sky's fire never truly dies, and its ultimate cost might be the very soul of the new world. Dare to step into a world where evolution is both salvation and curse, and the echoes of the past refuse to die? ASCENDANTS OF THE FALLEN EARTH, aka WHEN THE SKY BLED SILVER, is a haunting post-apocalyptic fantasy about unbreakable bonds, the terrifying evolution of power, and the desperate fight to reclaim humanity from the ashes of a transformed world. What happens when the greatest threat lies not outside, but within? Find out in ASCENDANTS OF THE FALLEN EARTH - Ayeshi Mio aka Myobee.

    Dr. June Nakamura had been called many things in her career-prodigy, visionary, lunatic-but above all else, she was brilliant. The number of doctorates she possessed was creeping toward triple digits, each one a trophy of obsession. She was, by every measurable standard, the most intelligent woman alive. That was why she had been given the Project. The concept was elegant in its simplicity: a gas that could render entire battalions unconscious without a drop of blood spilled. An EMP for the human body. Not a weapon of death, but of pause. In theory, the device could end war-or at least press the world's endless conflicts into silence long enough for peace to take root. June believed in it. Believed in herself. And for the first time in her life, she was wrong. The test chamber was packed with dignitaries, generals, scientists, and investors-hundreds of witnesses hungry for proof. They watched as the first human subject was lowered into the sealed room, the faint green vapor hissing into existence. The subject did not grow drowsy. He did not collapse into gentle hibernation. Instead, his skin warped, his bones reshaped, fur erupting in violent cascades. His eyes went wild, not with terror, but with a terrifying emptiness. When it was over, there was no man in the chamber. Only a humanoid beast, animal-featured and utterly confused. His gaze wandered the walls as if he had never seen them before. When asked his name through the intercom, he only tilted his head, ears twitching. He had forgotten. He had forgotten everything. Not a sedative, then. Not a miracle. A metamorphosis. June's heart turned to ice as murmurs spread through the auditorium. Some recoiled in horror. Others, strangely, leaned forward with fascination. What they saw was not the death of a project, but the birth of something unforeseen. June had not ended war. She had ended humanity. And before anyone could stop it, the new world had begun.

    When the endless Nightmare finally collapsed, Ashen believed he had won. He had slain the last of the dream gods, torn himself free of a realm that fed on fear, and wished only for one thing: to go home. But the world he returns to is nothing like the one he left behind. Centuries have passed, the cities have fallen into ruin, and the land itself is being consumed by a spreading mist that carries living shadows. Humanity survives behind broken walls, haunted by the creatures that once belonged only to dreams. They speak in whispers about the Returned, warriors who came back from the Nightmare changed, powerful, and cursed. Ashen is one of them. To the people he is a weapon, to the Dominion he is a threat, and to the growing darkness that infects the waking world he is something even worse - a seed. With Mira, a healer who still believes in light even when surrounded by ruin, Ashen begins to face what he has become: a man caught between saving what remains of humanity and destroying it. As the line between dream and reality fades, he must decide whether he will fight the darkness within him or finally surrender to it.

    [Book 2 in After Eden] The Dominion's grip tightens, and the Rooted must move like shadows to survive. Tova walks a path of danger and revelation, where every mission could bring triumph-or tragedy. Secrets stir in abandoned fortresses, loyalties are tested, and whispers of the past threaten to undo the fragile peace the Rooted have built. Even as new life begins to grow, old wounds and hidden truths demand courage beyond what anyone imagined. In the depths of cavern and ruin, bonds are tested, hearts are forged, and the faint song of hope pulses beneath a world still teetering on the edge. Some sacrifices are quietly carried, and some choices echo far beyond those who make them.

    [Book 1 in After Eden] In a world reshaped by ruin, Tova is a Dominion technician, tending saplings in a society that demands order above all else. Her work is quiet, precise, and watched, yet even in the smallest shoots, she senses something greater stirring. When a strange, anomalous seed finds its way into her care, Tova is drawn into a path she never imagined. Shadows move where control is absolute, whispers carry secrets older than the Dominion, and every choice she makes begins to shape a future far beyond her understanding. In the heart of this rigid world, one technician holds the fragile beginnings of hope. Whether it will take root-or wither under the weight of what surrounds it-depends on the courage she can summon.

    The world is dead, but one mission remains. Years after humanity fled Earth for the stars, the surface lies scorched and broken, haunted by storms, salt deserts, and the ruins of drowned cities. Only the Gwydgans, machines built in humanity's image, remain to keep vigil. From the underground halls of Efrog Newydd Newydd, New New York, the caretaker collective Gobnata forged 142 emissaries to rescue Caratuac, the last human child left behind. All 142 failed. Now, from their sacrifice, rises a final creation: Designation 143. Dienforth. Incomplete yet resolute, Dienforth must scavenge the fallen bodies of his siblings to complete himself. His journey will carry him through salt plains that flay steel, storm-wracked wastelands, and oceans that corrode everything they touch. Guided only by the fading voice of his parent and the dying echoes of those who came before, he walks alone to rescue one child and to prove that compassion can outlive humanity itself.

    "So I'm just supposed to stay out of it!?" But I'm just like them. I could eat "Sondies" every day, I hate the winter and eagerly await the summer. I laugh, when my dad is surprising me with one of his special ideas, then I cry, because he won't tell me and yes, sometimes I don't want to do anything at all. Instead I'll ley down on my bed, starring a big hole into the wall, even if I should have gone to school that day. Just like them. Just like everyone else. Maybe a bit of a crybaby and a little too vulnerable to the cold. But far from beeing a monster. That's none of us. Us, they call Wunder. So how could I ever stay out of anything? When they don't understand, when we still don't live in peace. When I made that decision. (English Version of Wunder 367, Vios Drachenmaske)
