Chapter 1: The Quiet Birth

Born with two different colored eyes, young Abel always wore an eye patch-not to hide a deformity, but to quiet a mysterious, overwhelming power. From infancy, his right eye revealed something no child was meant to see: ethereal strings tethering human lives to unseen spirits. Spirits that manipulate, corrupt, and ultimately hand their victims over to Death.

After witnessing his parents' murder at the hands of string-bound intruders, Abel's world unravels. The patch falls. And for the first time, he sees the truth: the spirits are real. They control the wicked. And they all answer to one master-Death itself.

But Abel is no ordinary child. Within him resides the spirit of the ancient Abel, son of Adam-the first soul unjustly taken by Death. And this time, Abel has returned not to suffer, but to judge. Guided by visions, a cryptic nurse steeped in old witchcraft, and his mother's memory, he begins a harrowing journey through haunted towns and fractured spiritscapes.

As he crosses paths with Mira, a girl abandoned because of her inherited ability to see and speak the language of spirits, they form a powerful bond. Together, they battle malicious spirits, unravel cursed bloodlines, and challenge the divine machinery of life and death itself.

When Death marks Mira for destruction, Abel's grief unlocks his true power: the ability to absorb a spirit's essence through the Eye-and with it, their memories, their torment, and their strength. But with each spirit consumed, Abel risks losing himself to the very evil he seeks to end.

Now hunted by spirits, stalked by Death, and shadowed by a mysterious rebel from Cain's lineage, Abel must embrace the legacy buried in his blood. If he fails, humanity remains at the mercy of unseen strings. If he succeeds... he may become something else entirely.
